Tho Ohlnoso in tho Philippines

Mr Til Ting Fang tho OhinosoMinister al Washington recoutlycalled at tho Stato Department toprotest against an extension of thoAmorican oxolusion act over thoPhilippine Islands Tho immediatecausa of his protest was tho report-ed

¬

action of tho military authoritiesat Manila in refusing to pormitOhinese laborers to land at thatport In making his protest theChinese Minister stated that threefourths of tho mercantile businesson tho island of Luzon is conductedby Chinese They have between200000000 and 300000000 invest ¬

ed there About onehalf the laborin furnished by Ohinese coolies andin the opinion of- - the Minister itwill be impossible to get along with-out

¬

that class of labor Eveu if thoindolent natives can be trained tolabor the enterprises now underway would have to be abandonedwhich would entail a considerablesacrifice of capital

Assuming that the statementsmade by the Minister are correcthe has presented the Cabinet with aknotty question to deal with Alaw which works well in this coun-try

¬

where white men dan work andwhore there aro white mon enoughto do all the work that uoods to bodone might not work well in acountry where white men are juBtable to live without working Letters which reach this oity from Ma-

nila¬

do not represent the volunteersas in a condition to grapple withthe problem of earning a livingThose who are classod as well aro soby comparison They drill an hourin the cool of the morning strollabout until 11 oclock then reportat quarters whore they remain un-

til¬

3 in the afternoon when they areagain permittod to expose them ¬

selves to the slid Possibly in timethese young men may become usedto the climate and capable of doinga days work but if their ambitionshould turn iu that direotiou theywould be confronted with the factthat there are coolies and nativesonough to fix tho rates of wages

Tho Cabinet will have opparontlyto choose between shutting off tbosupply of Ohinese labor until nativeor white labor is prepared to fill theplaces of Ohinese which can only bodone at some sacrifice of existing in-

dustries¬

and exempting the islandsfrom tho operation of the Americanexclusion act Tho fact must alsobo kept in mind that if the Chinesecoolies are admitted into the islandsthey will be employed in industriesthat will compete agaiust Americanindustries A San Francisco cigarmanufacturer might for examplefind it to his advantage to locato atManila employ native or coolielabor and ship his product to SanFrancisco The cost of transporta-tion

¬

if there was no duty on Manilacigars would bo much less than thodifference botween San Franciscoand Manila wages

There is another and moro farreaohing view to take of this ques-

tion¬

to which tho Chinese Ministercalls tho attention of the State Department The Philippine Islandsare desired as a basis for trade withthe Far East which is largely thoOhineso Empire Wo aro talkingglibly about the open port throughwhioh the wealth of tho Orient is topour into tho Uuitod States A manwho does not bolievo that wo consoon acquire a large share of thatOriental trade is not conaidorod agood Amorican But we can hardlyexpeot to win tho good will of theseOriental people by excluding thoirpeople from our proservos Woapply our oxolusion act to thoUnited States at tho present timo incomplete indifference to tho conse-

quences¬

Wo know that bo long aswe buy 2 worth of goods for 1

worth we sell tho Chinese will notrefuse to trade with us Butwhon

THE OALIOIAN LABORERS

Anothor problem to solve bnsbeou presouted to tbo govorumeutby tho Gnliaiau contract laborerswho aro refusing to work at OahuPlauiation Judge Wilcox yesterdaycancelled twenty two of tho con-

tracts¬

because the laborers whohad signed thorn were minorsWhat the future fate of thosetwonty two youths is to bo we can-

not¬

tell The law is plain enoughbut we all know how very little re ¬

gard the sugar barons and theirDole government have for our lawswhen they clash with the saccharineinterests

Tho Masters and Servants Act isvery plain Article 1853 of thoCompiled Laws provides that Nominor shall be bound unless by acontract of two parts signed anddelivered by both parties aud onepart shall bo kept for the use of thominor by his father mother guard ¬

ian or the governor Tho ago ofevery minor shall be inserted in thotho contract and shall bo taken tobe tho true ago without furtherproof thereof

Tho twenty two minors whosocontracts were cancelled had signedthem in the presence of the Hawai-ian

¬

Consul in Bremen and theirages showing that they wore minorswere stated in the contracts ThoConsul must have been ignorant ofthe laws of Hawaii and the manwho induced these poor boys fromGalipia to come hero under nn in-

valid¬

contract should be placed inthe chain gang in some Austrian orGerman prison

It is vory well for the judge totell these ignoraut slaves that theyare mon and certainly must haveknown what thoy did when theyagreed to go to Hawaii and thatthoy must have understood wheroHawaii was on tho map of tho worldThe judgo and tho attorneys in thecase are men of high intellectand superior education but wo aroready to gamble that none ofthem had more idea of tho locationgeographical and historical condi-tions

¬

of tho homos of those SJavsthan tho men had of Hawaii Thomen all claim that they loft theirhomes with tho understanding thateach should work at his trade ascarpenters shoemakers blaoksmithstumors otc etc for the sum of 86florins 18 a month Tho agentwho did this blaok birding in acivilized country did not toll thomon that they would be sweated inthe oane fields in the company ofChinese coolies that thoy would boabusod and kicked by their over ¬

seers and that when thoy had agrievance they oould find no re ¬

dress anywhoro because theirowner was tho representative of

thoir govommont the owner of thevessel that brought them here andtho owner of tho plantation wherothoy wero ordored to strip oane audhoo tho fields together with Asiaticooolios

The question of special interestto tho community is howovor inregard to tho futuro of the twenty- -

two boys who havo suddonly beentu mod loose without visible moansof existence in faot obliged lastnight to ask tho police for shelterand wore lodged aud fed in OahuJail

Thuso twenty two mon havo nologal right to remain in the countryTho authorities of tho CustomHouso had no right to permit themto laud hero and tho master of thoship and all persona aiding him inlanding the men are guilty of amisdemeauor We aro aware thattho Attorney General after a lengthyinterview with Consul-Agent-et- o

Hackfold Mr Hatch attorney forthe Consul-Agent-et- c ManagerAhrons and othor saccharme digni- -

timer called tho men before himand through an interpreter in theemploy of Hackfold told them thaour laws are such that if they dontAnd work tho polico will arrest themas vagrants send them to jail andmake them work on the roads Hutold them that thoy ought to beglad to bo able to earn 18 a monthand that thoy could go back toOahu Plantation without signingany contract Bnd yet- - rocoivo thossmo wages

Tho Attorney General is rightenough in the last part of his re ¬

marks We think that tho youngSlavs are fortunate to work at S18a month under a manager like MrAureus who although a disciplin-arian

¬

is one of the kindest and airest sugar planters in the countryHis lunas we presume aro like otherlunae but wo boliovo that they willbe told not to curse aud insult thowhite laborers in the future Theywouldnt dare do it in their owncountries why try it here

While wo admit that Mr Smithspoke good sense to tho boys wecertainly hold that he is not up-holding

¬

the laws of tho countryand that ho has no right whateverto send one of these young strangersto work on our roads for beingvagrants or paupers Thoro is onlyone proper thing for the AttorneyGeneral to do and that is to arrestand prosecute tho persons who aidedand caused the landing of the 22boys in contraventiou of the Immi-gration law and to return the monto the placo whence they arrived Iftho Attorney General declines to doso ho establishes a precedent whichwill make Hawaii a true haven forthe blaok birders

The law is plain It provides inArticle 1554 of tho codified lawsthat it shall be unlawful for aliensof the following classes to land inthe Hawaiian Islaude to wit Idiotsinsauo persons paupersand persons without visible meansof support or a bona fidewritten contract of employment

binding such alien to work asan agricultural laborer for a termnot Jess than two years

Article 1555 of the same law pro-vides

¬

that the master or any officerof any vessel or any person whohall bring within the Hawaiian Isl-

ands¬

and land or attompt to land orpermit to bo lauded any alien notlawfully entitled to eutor the Ha-waiian

¬

Islands shall be deemedguilty of a misdemeauor and onconviction bo fined not moro than

500 and not loss than 100 for oaohaud overy such alien and may boimprisoned for a term not exceedingono year And any such vessel shallnot havo cloarance from any port oftho Hawaiian Islands until suohfiuo is paid

Artiolo 1557 provides that Allaliens who may unlawfully come tothe Hawaiian Islands shall if prac ¬

ticable be immediately sent out oftho country on tho same vessel bywhich thoy wore brought in

It is no oxouso for any man whohas business in Hawaii to say thatho does not know our laws If itwore there would be no opiumsmugglers on the reef to day Itwas tho duty of tho master of thovessel on whioh tho Slavs wero im-

ported¬

to read thoir contraots andsee that they wore valid It was the

duty of tho consignees in Honoluluof that human froight to do thosame boforo it was landod It wasabovo all tho duty of tho CustomHouso to prevent minors from land ¬

ing on an invalid contract ThoAttorney Gonoral should proceedagainst all parties who aro to blnmoboforo hn attempts to cause tho arroat of the poor boys who certainlycan only be termed vagrants heroby tho act of tho Government

Tho sugar barons dont wantwhite labor hero Thoy simply

brought theao Slavs to be enabled torun in some more Asiatic coolies attho rato of ton coolies to one whitoman as prescribed by nur lawsThey have got them here howoverand havo mado a bad job of the ex ¬

periment The least thoy now cando is to troat thoir victims with fair-ness

Tho Question of Labor in HawaiiTho Hawaiian planters in their

conferences with tho Cullom Com-mission

¬

insisted upon a law permit-ting

¬

for all time the importation ofcheap Oriental labor for the canefields It is said that they wereemphatic in the statement thatwithout such labor they could notgo on with the production of sugarIn other words if doprived of thecheap coolie their business muststop

We hope that Senator Cullomand his associates were not deceived by such obvious tomfoolery asthis For years the Hawaiian plant ¬

ers resident and absentee have beenmaking larger percentages on themoney invested than any other com-

munity¬

of capitalists in the worldPer capital the white Hawaiians areto day the richest people on earthOnly a fortnight ago one of thenewer plantations in Hawaii an-

nounced¬

a net profit for the year of800000 and the gross annual in-

come

¬

of them all not a great num-

ber¬

in the aggregate rarely fallsbelow 16000000 gold The land ofthe planters having been purchasedor leased and tho American marketbeing free td them nothing is easierthan to pile up money in stacksthough the payment for labor in

cash and keep has averaged aboutthe same as in the caue Golds of thoUnitod States or even in the farmingcountry of New England and theMiddle States

Under such circumstances if therate for labor were doubled by nomeans a uecessary result of the ex-

clusion¬

of coolies there would stillremain enormous profits to theplanter Were it trebled he wouldmake more money on tho investedcapital than tho average merchantminer or manufacturer in Californiavastly more than the average farmeror fruit grower According to commou report at Honolulu profits ofsugar growers have gone as high as80 and oven 120 per cent Thesetotals might bo divided by five oreven six without driving the sugarindustry to tho wall It would stillbo bettor off than any othor form ofagricultural production on thomainland

But the planters having got usedto coolies want to keep them Thatis natural enough but it ia not aconsideration that appeals to people- - over hero Nor will Americanssympathize with thpir aspiration tomaintain Hawaii as a rich mansparadise The manner in which thisis douo is to ubo coolies not merelyin the cane fields but in the tradesand small retail enterprises tqorowdout white men who might if per

Tho Ohlnoso in tho Philippines

Mr Til Ting Fang tho OhinosoMinister al Washington recoutlycalled at tho Stato Department toprotest against an extension of thoAmorican oxolusion act over thoPhilippine Islands Tho immediatecausa of his protest was tho report-ed

¬

action of tho military authoritiesat Manila in refusing to pormitOhinese laborers to land at thatport In making his protest theChinese Minister stated that threefourths of tho mercantile businesson tho island of Luzon is conductedby Chinese They have between200000000 and 300000000 invest ¬

ed there About onehalf the laborin furnished by Ohinese coolies andin the opinion of- - the Minister itwill be impossible to get along with-out

¬

that class of labor Eveu if thoindolent natives can be trained tolabor the enterprises now underway would have to be abandonedwhich would entail a considerablesacrifice of capital

Assuming that the statementsmade by the Minister are correcthe has presented the Cabinet with aknotty question to deal with Alaw which works well in this coun-try

¬

where white men dan work andwhore there aro white mon enoughto do all the work that uoods to bodone might not work well in acountry where white men are juBtable to live without working Letters which reach this oity from Ma-

nila¬

do not represent the volunteersas in a condition to grapple withthe problem of earning a livingThose who are classod as well aro soby comparison They drill an hourin the cool of the morning strollabout until 11 oclock then reportat quarters whore they remain un-

til¬

3 in the afternoon when they areagain permittod to expose them ¬

selves to the slid Possibly in timethese young men may become usedto the climate and capable of doinga days work but if their ambitionshould turn iu that direotiou theywould be confronted with the factthat there are coolies and nativesonough to fix tho rates of wages

Tho Cabinet will have opparontlyto choose between shutting off tbosupply of Ohinese labor until nativeor white labor is prepared to fill theplaces of Ohinese which can only bodone at some sacrifice of existing in-

dustries¬

and exempting the islandsfrom tho operation of the Americanexclusion act Tho fact must alsobo kept in mind that if the Chinesecoolies are admitted into the islandsthey will be employed in industriesthat will compete agaiust Americanindustries A San Francisco cigarmanufacturer might for examplefind it to his advantage to locato atManila employ native or coolielabor and ship his product to SanFrancisco The cost of transporta-tion

¬

if there was no duty on Manilacigars would bo much less than thodifference botween San Franciscoand Manila wages

There is another and moro farreaohing view to take of this ques-

tion¬

to which tho Chinese Ministercalls tho attention of the State Department The Philippine Islandsare desired as a basis for trade withthe Far East which is largely thoOhineso Empire Wo aro talkingglibly about the open port throughwhioh the wealth of tho Orient is topour into tho Uuitod States A manwho does not bolievo that wo consoon acquire a large share of thatOriental trade is not conaidorod agood Amorican But we can hardlyexpeot to win tho good will of theseOriental people by excluding thoirpeople from our proservos Woapply our oxolusion act to thoUnited States at tho present timo incomplete indifference to tho conse-

quences¬

Wo know that bo long aswe buy 2 worth of goods for 1

worth we sell tho Chinese will notrefuse to trade with us Butwhon

I we shape our commercial ponoy

TUESDAY NOV 15 1898

THE OALIOIAN LABORERS

Anothor problem to solve bnsbeou presouted to tbo govorumeutby tho Gnliaiau contract laborerswho aro refusing to work at OahuPlauiation Judge Wilcox yesterdaycancelled twenty two of tho con-

tracts¬

because the laborers whohad signed thorn were minorsWhat the future fate of thosetwonty two youths is to bo we can-

not¬

tell The law is plain enoughbut we all know how very little re ¬

gard the sugar barons and theirDole government have for our lawswhen they clash with the saccharineinterests

Tho Masters and Servants Act isvery plain Article 1853 of thoCompiled Laws provides that Nominor shall be bound unless by acontract of two parts signed anddelivered by both parties aud onepart shall bo kept for the use of thominor by his father mother guard ¬

ian or the governor Tho ago ofevery minor shall be inserted in thotho contract and shall bo taken tobe tho true ago without furtherproof thereof

Tho twenty two minors whosocontracts were cancelled had signedthem in the presence of the Hawai-ian

¬

Consul in Bremen and theirages showing that they wore minorswere stated in the contracts ThoConsul must have been ignorant ofthe laws of Hawaii and the manwho induced these poor boys fromGalipia to come hero under nn in-

valid¬

contract should be placed inthe chain gang in some Austrian orGerman prison

It is vory well for the judge totell these ignoraut slaves that theyare mon and certainly must haveknown what thoy did when theyagreed to go to Hawaii and thatthoy must have understood wheroHawaii was on tho map of tho worldThe judgo and tho attorneys in thecase are men of high intellectand superior education but wo aroready to gamble that none ofthem had more idea of tho locationgeographical and historical condi-tions

¬

of tho homos of those SJavsthan tho men had of Hawaii Thomen all claim that they loft theirhomes with tho understanding thateach should work at his trade ascarpenters shoemakers blaoksmithstumors otc etc for the sum of 86florins 18 a month Tho agentwho did this blaok birding in acivilized country did not toll thomon that they would be sweated inthe oane fields in the company ofChinese coolies that thoy would boabusod and kicked by their over ¬

seers and that when thoy had agrievance they oould find no re ¬

dress anywhoro because theirowner was tho representative of

thoir govommont the owner of thevessel that brought them here andtho owner of tho plantation wherothoy wero ordored to strip oane audhoo tho fields together with Asiaticooolios

The question of special interestto tho community is howovor inregard to tho futuro of the twenty- -

two boys who havo suddonly beentu mod loose without visible moansof existence in faot obliged lastnight to ask tho police for shelterand wore lodged aud fed in OahuJail

Thuso twenty two mon havo nologal right to remain in the countryTho authorities of tho CustomHouso had no right to permit themto laud hero and tho master of thoship and all persona aiding him inlanding the men are guilty of amisdemeauor We aro aware thattho Attorney General after a lengthyinterview with Consul-Agent-et- o

Hackfold Mr Hatch attorney forthe Consul-Agent-et- c ManagerAhrons and othor saccharme digni- -

timer called tho men before himand through an interpreter in theemploy of Hackfold told them thaour laws are such that if they dontAnd work tho polico will arrest themas vagrants send them to jail andmake them work on the roads Hutold them that thoy ought to beglad to bo able to earn 18 a monthand that thoy could go back toOahu Plantation without signingany contract Bnd yet- - rocoivo thossmo wages

Tho Attorney General is rightenough in the last part of his re ¬

marks We think that tho youngSlavs are fortunate to work at S18a month under a manager like MrAureus who although a disciplin-arian

¬

is one of the kindest and airest sugar planters in the countryHis lunas we presume aro like otherlunae but wo boliovo that they willbe told not to curse aud insult thowhite laborers in the future Theywouldnt dare do it in their owncountries why try it here

While wo admit that Mr Smithspoke good sense to tho boys wecertainly hold that he is not up-holding

¬

the laws of tho countryand that ho has no right whateverto send one of these young strangersto work on our roads for beingvagrants or paupers Thoro is onlyone proper thing for the AttorneyGeneral to do and that is to arrestand prosecute tho persons who aidedand caused the landing of the 22boys in contraventiou of the Immi-gration law and to return the monto the placo whence they arrived Iftho Attorney General declines to doso ho establishes a precedent whichwill make Hawaii a true haven forthe blaok birders

The law is plain It provides inArticle 1554 of tho codified lawsthat it shall be unlawful for aliensof the following classes to land inthe Hawaiian Islaude to wit Idiotsinsauo persons paupersand persons without visible meansof support or a bona fidewritten contract of employment

binding such alien to work asan agricultural laborer for a termnot Jess than two years

Article 1555 of the same law pro-vides

¬

that the master or any officerof any vessel or any person whohall bring within the Hawaiian Isl-

ands¬

and land or attompt to land orpermit to bo lauded any alien notlawfully entitled to eutor the Ha-waiian

¬

Islands shall be deemedguilty of a misdemeauor and onconviction bo fined not moro than

500 and not loss than 100 for oaohaud overy such alien and may boimprisoned for a term not exceedingono year And any such vessel shallnot havo cloarance from any port oftho Hawaiian Islands until suohfiuo is paid

Artiolo 1557 provides that Allaliens who may unlawfully come tothe Hawaiian Islands shall if prac ¬

ticable be immediately sent out oftho country on tho same vessel bywhich thoy wore brought in

It is no oxouso for any man whohas business in Hawaii to say thatho does not know our laws If itwore there would be no opiumsmugglers on the reef to day Itwas tho duty of tho master of thovessel on whioh tho Slavs wero im-

Tho Question of Labor in HawaiiTho Hawaiian planters in their

conferences with tho Cullom Com-mission

¬

insisted upon a law permit-ting

¬

for all time the importation ofcheap Oriental labor for the canefields It is said that they wereemphatic in the statement thatwithout such labor they could notgo on with the production of sugarIn other words if doprived of thecheap coolie their business muststop

We hope that Senator Cullomand his associates were not deceived by such obvious tomfoolery asthis For years the Hawaiian plant ¬

ers resident and absentee have beenmaking larger percentages on themoney invested than any other com-

munity¬

of capitalists in the worldPer capital the white Hawaiians areto day the richest people on earthOnly a fortnight ago one of thenewer plantations in Hawaii an-

nounced¬

a net profit for the year of800000 and the gross annual in-

come

¬

of them all not a great num-

ber¬

in the aggregate rarely fallsbelow 16000000 gold The land ofthe planters having been purchasedor leased and tho American marketbeing free td them nothing is easierthan to pile up money in stacksthough the payment for labor in

cash and keep has averaged aboutthe same as in the caue Golds of thoUnitod States or even in the farmingcountry of New England and theMiddle States

Under such circumstances if therate for labor were doubled by nomeans a uecessary result of the ex-

clusion¬

of coolies there would stillremain enormous profits to theplanter Were it trebled he wouldmake more money on tho investedcapital than tho average merchantminer or manufacturer in Californiavastly more than the average farmeror fruit grower According to commou report at Honolulu profits ofsugar growers have gone as high as80 and oven 120 per cent Thesetotals might bo divided by five oreven six without driving the sugarindustry to tho wall It would stillbo bettor off than any othor form ofagricultural production on thomainland

But the planters having got usedto coolies want to keep them Thatis natural enough but it ia not aconsideration that appeals to people- - over hero Nor will Americanssympathize with thpir aspiration tomaintain Hawaii as a rich mansparadise The manner in which thisis douo is to ubo coolies not merelyin the cane fields but in the tradesand small retail enterprises tqorowdout white men who might if per

mitted to stay outvote the sugarparty in tho affairsof tho islandssoouro tho Oovornmunt amend tholabor laws imposo a fair rote of tax¬

ation upon tho sugar estates andthrow open the public domain Intheir opposing attitude tho Hawai ¬

tho slavo holding aristocracyof tho South They havo no uso for

poor white trash Given thoirbaronial acres tilled by coolies andjust onough white men to do thoirpolice work for them and they arecontent So long as the coolies aroin hand they can koop tho obstreporous and independent white at adistance If lie comes as a laborerhe is confronted with a gluttedrauBole market if ho comes as anartisan a skilled Japaneso is set upin the same business to underbidhim if he wants to bo a merchantan Asiatic with planter backingdrives him away That is tho Ha ¬
