I was opposed to Hawaii being annexed as an insular possession. I am opposed to their system of landed estates. mounting to tens of thousands and a hundred thousand acres under a single corporation and worked exclusively by cooly labor. So many cooly laborers are there that I believe the knell of white labor has already been rung in the Hawaiian Islands. I am opposed to the immigration system there that permits the cooly labor to drive out the American and white man. The organic law we passed for them. if its spirit is enforced. I think a wise measure.
