Thelatter is a city of 222.000 people (1891 census). The white population is 8.550. of whom 6.468 are males and 2.085 are females. The Asiatics number 151.100 males and 61.800 females. There are therefore 3 white males to 1 female. and almost three colored males to each female. Even the Asiatics recognize the character of the settlement. In Singapore there are 184.500 people. 4.312 of whom are white males and 942 white females. There are 135.000 Asiatic males and 40.500 Asiatic females. The white males outnumber the white females more than 4 to 1. and the Asiatic males outnumber the Asiatic females more than 3+ to 1. In both of the typical English colonies even the Asiatics will not live with their families because of the vile character of the settlements. These colonies are little better than brothels. and these Englishmen are there only for purposes of trade. Their golden rule is to keep all they get and get all they can. as the first and the last and the whole duty of man. and the thought of benefiting the people over whom they rule never enters into their calculations.
