What is sacred and dear to the native is trodden under foot, and pressure is exerted on him to adapt his way of feeling and living to our own.
Instead of being encouraged to develop his native industries, he is taught to do work that we do and that we value; instead of developing his work, whích leaves him time to live, he is driven into our plantation of factory system.

E os que são de tão robusta natureza que podem superar com saude todos estes contrastes vão entretendo o tempo e suas miserias, como melher podem, á sombra das esperanças que os praticos lhes
