Reporter. What do You think Of the scheme
for bringing Chinese labor to the South
Choy-Chew. The imoresslon on my mind ls
that the Chinese Aborer cannot better his con-
dlrion by emigrat1og to The South TO work IN
the cotton fields or on sugar plantations at
what must necessarily be Q low figure OF COM
pensation, and in competition with the negro
population. For some. years TO come he will
find all the labor he wants In California, where
new sources Of wealth and industry are sprng-
ing up every day. Then his eonntrymen are
when he has made what he deems enough OF
money he can pack up and leave conveniently
for China from-the. port Of Ban Francisco.
Cinnamon like to die at home. Will these
Southern planters treat their Chinese labor
ers well2 Will there be any meh system ap-
pro1imaGng to therecsnt institution OF slavery
attempted? Will tho Chiusmsn 'and in the
Southern Statee much else 70 turn his hands
to than mere field labor? These are questions
liehtened upoa. I hsve no doubt that AIR.
Hoopmanchaap will fnd little dt1sdlty in pro-
curing laborers for the SoGtnetp planters who
want .th;p, bpt I mIsS, n cit to see the expert
ment tried before saying that millions Of our
people will rush to the States OF the South.
One popularity OF the Chinese is that II the
first reports which reach them OF new settle-
ment Whittier some OF their couRtrymen have
gone are not ofs fattering character they re-.
ject all subsequent invitstloDs. The gold
brought them to California, and all the
deter others from afterwards migrating
there 1t will depend altogether upon the sue
cess of the fret Chinese experiment at the
South whether the millions will go there.
There is vast field for them yet east and west
Of the Rocky Mountains and down towards
Mexico. When the communication between
California and China is enlarged the emigration
will increase; but I am not OF opinion that the
aggregate OF emigrants can eyet. become 40
great as some people think. Allowance should
be made for the return stream OF Chinese
which will all the time keep going on, and never
permit the total 10 reach an excessive figure.
Those emigrants who come from China to make
all the money they can and then return, do not
care to 90 very Tar away from San Francisco II
they can help it.
Reporter. suppose there is no need to use
any means to sti Late emigration from China
" Choy.ohew. % Not the slightest. In alltbe
seaboard cities they have heard Of California;
they have heard Of the GSffr Wnsa bage s9e
and those who have no visible prospect OF MAX
ing much at home, and with the means to take
them away, will start for California. VI course
there are some worthless ones among them,
but as q general thing they are all prepared to
work, and work hard il necessary. They are
satisfied with small gains, and they live sober
and quiet.
Reporter. Do you intend. Mr.. Choy-Chev,
taking any active part in this emigration ques-
tion2
Choy. Chew. Not ut all. I am occupied
SOLELY With nv business as merchant, and
with the object Of extending it have paid this
visit to the great and growing City OF New
York-a marvel, indeed. Of the enterprise ot
Americans.
Here we parted with the elegant and accom-
plished Choy-Uhew.
