THE CHINESE IN THE UNITED STATES.

(From the Anglo-American Times.)
Choy-Chew, the Chinese merchant, has been in-
terviewed, with the following results :—He thinks
there is not the slightest necessity for any effort to
increase the tide of emigration. The people all along
the seaboard of China have heard of California, and
will come over. it is a peculiarity of the Chinese
people that they go altogether according to first
reports. Gold brought them to California, and all
the hard treatment they have since received in that
State has not been able to deter others from follow-
ing, though the reports of the present condition of
the Chinese in California are freely spread among
them. On the other hand, if the first news they
receive from a place is unfavourable, no subsequent
invitations can induce them to go there. The first
treatment will decide, as regards the South, whether
their labour can be made available. He dislikes
the plan, as there is abundant employment in the
Pacific States for all, and something analogous to
negro slavery may be established over the Chinese
by the Southerners ; nor does he wish his country-
men to be brought into competition with the
negro. Soon. the Chinese will naturally overflow
into Nevada, Arizona, Colorado, and Montana,
and will make of those places a garden. He
thinks that the mixing with Americans and then re-
turning, as the Chinese all hope to do, to their
native country, will have the very best effect on
China, and will fill that land with the energy and
progressive spirit which distinguish Americans, whom
he exonerates from the charge of cruelty, although
attributing to them a legalized injustice towards
the Chinese. He drew a very pleasant picture of
what would occur if the Chinese came to stay, and
grew up without being weighed down by the in-
fluence of many centuries of tradition. He thought
the Chinese would be among the most orderly and
industrious of citizens, and that they would by-and-
by come to take an interest in politics, and perhaps
one of tham would become President. The return-
ing stream of emigration he believes will always
prevent the Chinese in America from reaching an
excessive figure. He was very severe on the dema-
gogues who are trying to make political capital out
of the prejudice against the Chinese. The 30,000
who have been landed in Peru are anything but
happy, and have petitioned the Government of the
United States for protection. The action of the
Government of Peru is singularly shortsighted, and
the end will be that while North America secures
abundant labour from China, not a cooly, unless he
be kidnapped, will ever land in South America. A
San Francisco correspondent of the St. Louis De-
mocrat defends the Chinese against the charge of
immoralities so frequently brought against them.
He says they are extremely charitable and liberal,
honest especially in small things, temperate and
peaceable, and that as residents they will compare
very favourably with any other class as quiet,
peaceable, inoffensive men.
