TIE CHINESE IN OREGoN.-The Oregon

THE CHINESE IN OREeoN.-The Oregon
people, inspired by the spirit of ignorance,
blind prejudice, and perhaps little by ava
rice, have followed the mob OF California and
Australia in their prejudice against Chinese.
They have passed law to levy tax OF four
dollars month on Chinese miners. Con
sidered with regard to truth, facts, and alti-
mate results. this is one of the most rIdicu-
Ions ideas which ever entered into the heads
OF Legislature.
That the Chinese get some gold crt OF The
inexhau,tibIe mine of the Pacific coast is
true; that they earn much and spend little.
is also true. But there is one thing which
Affects the whole of this. They seork.
they arc the very ants among hui
man insects. They wash, cook, and act as
servants, and in these three branches, no liv-
;ay beings can compare with them. In their
incredible domestic economy, they turn ev-
erythinc to account They will work over
a digging which others thought exhausted,
and grow rich out of it; and in many parts
OF Califorui. this is he DULY gold which they
are allowed to dig. They are the best farm
laborars il the world,
It would be hard to prove that the corn-
try loses By the presence Of any kind Of
Woodworking people, whether they keep
gold in it or send it away. Gold is not
wealth, as the ignorant Oregon Legislators
probably imagine. No, bat capita5, the re-
suit OF labor is; and to acquire capital, MI
tia. a Slate needs is labor. The tine will
come when such legislative enaotments as
these will be classed as Illustrations Of bar
barism. BE it borne III mind, that The cues
ton is not one concerning the granting Chi
neso permission to NEEDLE with our Iaw-rna-
king. It is a direct question as 10 whether
they shall be allowed to cam money honest
