They can get better wages under better circumstances at home. The central idea of the bill is to secure white European labor into the Hawaiian Territory to become permanent settlers and to take the place of Japanese or Chinese laborers. And the bill also looks to a method of procuring white or European laborers to secure the more certain development of these rich islands. and to discourage the emigration of a worse class of residents. The islands are well adapted to raising fruit. pineapples. and oranges. and all things of that kind. but there is no general or foreign market for such fruit because they are so far away from a country that would consume it. and their sales can only be to their own people and to the ships that come into their harbors. These islands can not compete with California in selling fruit to the people in the States.
