I know that through their instrumentality the islands have been lifted up. at least they have been made more wealth producing and that conditions are better for the few who are now there than they were formerly. Is there any provision here by which any American who will want to go there and engage in the cultivation of coffee. or some other product which would promise him more remuneration for his labor than he now obtains. is invited there? Is that a country which immigrants will seek? Is there any inducement for a man to go there to get a living Where he has got to show that he owns a thousand dollars in clean cash or in property before he can participate in the Government in any effectual way? Is that American?
