Thia raove on the part of the plantera, supported (as reported) by President Dole in the Exec | ulive Oouneil, will, no doubt, eom- | mend itself strougIy tothe meehanics here, and on tbe Pacific Coast | who favor annexation, and dearly . love Ohineae eheap Iabor. How : these gentlemen, who profes? to i have the cause of annexation at | heart, ean advocate, or even look i favorably on such a step with a | knowledge of the policy of the U.S. I in regard to the Ohineae labor, is one of those mysteries whieh we | on!y pretend to comprehend on tbe piineiple of u touch our pockets,and | yon toucb our intellects and sou!s.” Yet before we proceed to give our I unbiassed opinion of such views and actions, we desirea little fuller I explanation from the gentlemen of the Plantere’ Labor and Supply Association and their colleagues of the P. G. Councils as to whetber | tbey don’t think lhey rather would j take a monarchy with plantation labor than annexation without it.
