Chinese Immigration.
>~FAe demard for ishor ras@fhe South and
Southwest has awakened in these sections
deep interest in the subject Of immigration. {.
When the scarcity Of labor-especially agd>
cultural labor-drst began to be felt, the
eyes of the public were turned to Europe as
the source of supply. But lately attention
seems torhave shifted to another quarter Of
the Globe-to remote China--as the country
from which TIE demands of industry in these
Sections can b, most successfully met. in
the. sou,h>wes, especially the people are
taking great interest in this project. and are
urging its pracsicabiliry and de>irsbleness.
Weasree with them. and say God speed to
the success Of the enterprise. We need la
bor-reliable labor-aud we believe that the
Chiua>man is our best chance. Since the
war we have tried the negro, and to some
extent tue European, and while We would
not throw aside entirely the former, nor dis
courage the introduction o. the latter, neither
nor both, Ia our opinion, will meet the
wants ofsthe country. The negro. our ex>
perierce shews, will not work rs he ought
to, and we caunot induce Europeans 10 come
here in sufficient Numbers to supply the de-
mand caused by his Incidence. The negro
has gone iuto politics; let Us get laborers to
come here who, like the negro, know noth>
ing of, but unlike the negro, care nothing
for, politics. The negro has quit his work
to run after the Carpet>bagger. John Chine
man will stick to his employer. and. under
the 18th amendment, vote with him. : =
As to the character OF the Chinese rs las
borers, that Is well established. It has been
proved By experience in California, that
they are surpassed by no people for patient,
continuous, and enduring labor. More ia>
telligent than the negro. they are equally
docile and hardy. They are we'll saited for
raising the leading products Of the South
cotton, sugar and rice. All these are grown
in their native country. Besides, they .read>
lily adapt themselves to any kind of labor.
They live to work-they know nothing else.
From day Ia to day ous they are in their
place-no running to and fro-no idling on
the highways and on the byways. And then,
the supply Of this labor is inexhaustible.
The people in: China stand so thick on
the soil that they can scarcely move without
jostliug one another. When the tide Of im-
migration has once fairly set in, it will cons
tinue 70 fowin this direction for years to
come. The only danger % be feared Is that
the supply. may exceed the wants Of our
country. But this can hardly be the case
for seatnries to come. The Territory Of the
Uni,ed States Is capable Of sustaining pop
ulation equal to that Of the Chinese Empire
And ifthe fact were not so, Brother Johna>
than hasa wsy Of extending the limits of
his domain TO suit emergencies. = -
Every consideration therefore favors the
proposed scheme for supplying the wants Of
our section with abundant and cheap labor.
Thenegro while in.our, midst must be made
to sustain: himseif.-that is about all he win
ever do. We expect nothing more from
him. Europeans we cannot get IN sufficient
number, for our purposes. The Chinese we
can get in sufficient numbers, and for wages
which ws cas afford 10 pay. Then let our
people put their shoulders to the wheel and
ron onwsfd this grand enterprise which is
destined to regenerate the industry Of the
South lin all its diversified FORMS Weiook
for nothing else bas that the Degro and those
who hare made him their dups wiIE oppose
Ethis scheme, end when John China>man
gets here. that they will throw themselves
| in antagopism to him. We shall not COM
plain of that-the result will show. who will
come out ahead in that sort Of contest.
We have the stick to break the negro S
t6ard as it isl as we'll as the Yankees head.
