The hopes Of the democratic party are evidently

National Labor Congress.


CINCINNATI, aug. 20.-The Labor Congress took
up the report OF the Committee on Coolie Labor
which opposed the importation and present system
OF emigration OF coolie labor into the United States.
A long discussion followed, in which President
Treveick said in all the islands in the Pacific Ocean
where the Chinese have immigrated he had never
heard OF one becoming citizen. The marriage tie
was not observed, and the most shocking immortality
prevailed among them.
Mr.. Whitney, OF Chicago, said If the ballot did not
stop this evil the bullet must.
Mr.. Mclean defended the right OF free emigration,
and denied the charge of immortality 0i the China
men.
Mr.. Peters spoke in favor of the report saying If
our institutions ia this matter he willing to
do SO.
Mr. Maguyre OF st. Louis, said war to the knife
against the Chinese was not in accordance with the
principles Of our Government. The real remedy lay
in the adoption OF his discovery that every citizen
inherited sufficency of the soil. The Chinese could
not attain that Inheritance. III their immigration
made 1t impossible for cigar-maker to live by his
trade, let him go to his Inheritance OF SOIL which
cannot be taken from him, and there, by his own,
labor, on his own SOIL earn an independent living.
Mr.. Coffin spoke In favor of preventing mporta-
Jlon, but not restricting free immigration.
Mr.. Merrill, of California suggested that practi-
cal measure would be to repeal the law in force
steamers between San Francisco and China which.
line brought the coolies to America.

tee on Organization which was very lengthy, pro-
vidng a constitution and order OF business. II was
laid on the table.

quoting from Latin and Greek authors In a short
space Of time he showed himself to an admirng
audience at the health ofice proficient not only in
Latin and Greek but in German, French, and Eng

that he had once been in good circumstances. When
a young IL an he commenced TO study medicine in

his misbehavior. His next step was to emigrate 70
