The Coolie matter at last into crudely shaped
mold compounded Of California prejudice and in
tolerance, genuine and wenfOunded fear OF thel
being under present only fo
capta TO use and of the selsness of the cgarmaker
and other trades The most sensible men desired only
strong plank against importation Of labor, and M
equally strong plank supporting voluntary immigration

statement OF the economic dangers claimed to follow
sncb migration. AS the speaker aimed to utter the
underlying truth as he claimed and not to express the
passion merely which demands the prohibition OF
Chinese immigration, the btterer members grew uneasy

Some Of the crder uteranees against the Chinese were
atrocious displays Of gnOrlnce. Even Mr. TTeyeick
who has, as ship carpentg, travelled extensively
through the Indian and Maayan Seas, and Is not op
the flame by describing the condition of Chinese inmi
grants in Java Borneo Singapore &c declaring amone
other things that they never became citizens He espec
ally referred in this connection 10 the British Colony OF
the Straits 1t is fact however, that in Singapore the
Chinese do become citizens, and also that there are

were all alike engaged in one huge conspiracy TO oe
