Then. at page 5987 of the RECORD of the 55th Congress. 2d session. we find Representative Myer stating: If we annex Hawaii. we must soon admit the country as a State of the Union. with only 3 percent of the population Americans. or we must keep the islands as a dependencya sort of proconsulate where we can maintain rich mens sons in office and grandeur. or provide for needy and profligate politicians. such as those who for long years after the war scourged. robbed. and desolated the Southern States. At present there is no party bold enough to advocate the idea of admitting Hawaii as a State of the Union. whatever design they may propose in their hearts. They do not propose to make the Kanakas and Asiatics the equals in political power with New York. Ohio. Pennsylvania. and Illinois.
