It is the strategic point of all the trade in that great ocean. and the development of the trade of the Pacific will excel in reality. in my opinion. in the next few years what the wildest imagination now may conceive it to be. For the last fifty years the better thought of the people of this country has been looking for the possession of Hawaii. The Democratic Administration of Franklin Pierce directed a treaty to be made for the acquisition of the Hawaiian Islands. It is now American territory. Our flag floats over it. The islands are in a state of industrial depression. In a short time. when our report is in. evidence will be presented showing that skilled laborers. the same as planters and merchants. want Chinese immigration. restricted to agricultural purposes. Nearly everybody who lives there wants it.
