Speech #550144366

I shall at some future time present to the Senate the conclusive proof that the United States overturned the Hawaiian Governmenta friendly Governmentand set up in its place this missionary. sugarraising Government. that it is a puppet of ours with which we are treating for title to a country inhabited by a people who do not wish to be annexed to the United States. That question I shall go into fully and shall show from official records in a way that cun not be disputed or controverted that we. the people of the United States. through our Navy. overturned a friendly Government and set up in its place and are now treating with a puppet for title to an unwilling country. I also wish to show to the Senate the effect of Asiatic competition on our manufactures. upon our industries. what must certainly come to the mill toilers and the mill owners of this country with the admission into this Union of vast hordes of Asiatic laborers. The Malay is as skillful as the Japanese. and today in Manila they are producing the highest grade of silk. and it is sold in Europe in competition with that of France. They can produce every manufactured product produced by the skill of the people of the United States. and they can do it with laborers who cost but $1.75 a month in gold and who board themselves.
