To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" Whereas, by the census of the islands taken in 1849, the population decreased at the rate of 8 per cent in 1848, and by the census taken in 1850 the population decreased at the rate of 5^ per cent in 1849 ; whereas the want of labor is severely felt by planters and other agriculturists, whereby the price of provisions and other produce has been unprecedentedly en- hanced, to the great prejudice of the islands; whereas, many natives have emigrated to California and there died in great misery ;... and, whereas, it is desirable to prevent such loss to the nation and such wretchedness to individuals, etc. " This act remained in force until 1887. How effective it was when it existed there is no means of ascertaining. How much emigration of the native race has taken place since its repeal does not appear to have been inquired into by the Hawaiian Government. Assuming that there has been none and that the census tables are correct, except that of 1884, the best opinion is that the decrease in the native population is slight now and constantly less.
