The workingman's advocate. [volume] (Chicago [Ill.]) 1864-1877, 1870-05-21


Resolved, BY the International Coopers
Union in Convention assembled, that We do
most emphatieally protest against the introduc-
ton or importation into our land, of Idol
worshippiDg, Asiatic hordes, known as Chinese !;
In 40 much a. We concur With all other me-
chanics and lAborers, that this immigration Of
AongOlians which is now but . rivuIet, may
one day become q Niagara, hurting millions in
stead OF thousands. upon as from the vast over.
crowded hives of China and India and that
this so-cailed cheap labor, is detrimental to the
best interests, NOT only Of the laboring classes,
but to the country itself. And further, that
we confidently believe that Il In not for the
benefit OF the country, that this system OF cheap
labor h advocated, but for the Advancement Of
unscrupulous Capitalists, who wish to entail on
the country, BY this Mongol immigration, a
system Of serfdom but q single remove, in &C.
sence. from old-fashioned slavery itseli And
further, that We raise no protest, against any
emigrants who come to this couotFy, of self and
free will, snd Who conform to the genius of our
institutions. and render due obedience 70 our
laws And further that it is the paramount
duty OF all mechanics throughout the land, to
use NIL lawful and honorable means to check
this tide Of bastard immigration, that threatens
70 overflow the country with deluge Of AsiAtic
Psganim.
On motion, the committee on CIPHER
was continued, and Mr.. Foran, Presi-
dent, was authorized to act on the
committee.
The following resolution was

The Guano Trade.

The Macon (Ga.) Telegraph
and Messenger "learns from q
clerk in the Central railroad of
fee that up to this time no less
than eight million pounds Of
guano have been received and
delivered into the hands of
dealers and consumers since
the 18th day of last November.
Eight million pounds more
have passed over the road to
other railways, and gone into
the country"
These sixteen million pounds
make 5000 tons, worth an aver
age of about eighty dollars per
ton, or in the aggregate over
a million and a quarter. This
is a large trade, and shows to
what extent planters in South
west Georgia now rely upon
commercial fertilizers in the
production of cotton. Large
as this showing is; it does not
compare with the guano trade
of this city. We have one con-
cern here-the Dickson Fertili-
zing Company-which has sold
and received orders for more
than five thousand tons, and
new orders to the extent of
hundreds of tons are pouring
in upon them daily. This is a
nome company, ana We are re-
joiced to chronicle it's admira-
ble>succeSS. HI
We have other large dealers
in guano here, some of whom
have sold as much as three
thousand tons. We believe
we would be clearly within
bounds in saying that Augusta
dealers have sold at least thirty
thousand tons this season,
over two and a half million dol
lars.-[Augusta Chronicle.

The Commercial Hearld of San
Francisco estimates the amount
of gold extracted from the mines
of California since its discovery,
in 1S4S, at $1,OOO,OOO,OOO. The
first year s1O,OOO,OOO was gather
ed; the second, $4,000, 900, which
gradually increased until 1858,
when s65,OOO, ,000, the maximum
amount collected in any one year
was reached, and from which
time the yield has steadily decreas
ed till 1869, when only 1923, 100000
was taken out. From other Pa
cifc States and Territories the
yield has been, in twenty-five
years, S25O,OOO,OOO, with gradu
al decline in the yield. The quan
tity Of gold produced in Nova
Scotia, from the date of the frs
discovery of the precious metal t.
the end Of 1868, a period of eigh
years, amounts to one hundred
and sixty thousand ounces. Th'
best year was was 1867, when tn
yield amounted to nearly thirt.
thousand ounces.

Joseph A. Carpenter, who died
at South Pass, Illinois, recently,
left one thousand dollars to estab-
lish a public fountain in the town,
"where all may slake their thirst, !"
thus removing one very preva-
lent excuse for frequenting sa-
Ioons.1 Unless this fountain is
made to spout whisky, it will not
remove thatvery prevalent excuse
an inch within the next ten years.

GRANTS OPINION OF CARPET
BAGGERs.-The President told a
Senator the other day that there
was not a Radical in the entire
South who was qualified to be
placed on the Supreme Bench,
and that everybody else there who
was qualified by education and
ability for such a position, was
disqualified in other respects for
such appointment. This is the
worst cut carpet baggism has yet
received, and coming as it does
from the head of the nation, may
be taken as a sufficient reason
why he adheres to the Northern
States in selecting appointees fol
the Southern vacancies on the
Supreme Bench with such peril
nacity.

Jessie Fremont speaks in this
cruel way of one of the brothers
in-law of the Administration
"Mr. Corbin, if he is a rather el-
derly person named Abel Rath-
bone Corbin, was often at Colonel
Benton's house, not as an amanu-
ensis, but, as Mr.. Benton himself
said to some one who objected to
his Uriah Heep style of manner,
Every public man must have a
ferret, and Corbin is nine.'7

Agricultural Prospects.

The returns to the statistical
division of the department of
United States agriculture dur
ing the month of january indi-
cate a decrease in the average
Of winter wheat in the States of
Illinois, Indiana, Michigan and
New York, in those of New
England and of the cotton belt.
The decrease in Illinois is plac-
ed at 8 per cent; in Michigan
6 per cent; in Indiana and in
New York 5 per cent. So far
as returns have been received,
the area in California is nearly
the same as of last year, and
but little difference is reported
from Ohio, Wisconsin, Mime
sofa and Missouri. Kansas has
increased her average very
largely, and Arkansas, Ken
tucky and West Virginia, have
also made a material increase.
The average of other winter
grains appears to have been re-
duced slightly. The reports of
the condition of winter wheat
are not generally favorable in
the Ohio Valley. The reduc-
ton below an average appear
ance at that period of the year
range from six to twenty per
cent. in Wisconsin, Minnesota,
Kansas, Texas and California.
An average condition is indica-
ted in most of the remaining
States. The appearance of the
plant is comparatively unprOm-
ising. The probabilities at
present are opposed to the pros
pect of another year of marked
productiveness. An increased
acreage OF barley is reported
from Kentucky, Missouri, In
diana, Wisconsin and Kansas
Its condition is little better
than that of wheat throughout
the Ohio Valley and Northwest
The reduction is represented tC
be thirteen per cent. in MissOu
ri, nine per cent. in Indiana
.eightper cent. in Illinois, sever
per cent. in Ohio and five PEI
cent. in Michigan.

The 6 'Colored Vote. "

uC NOW 4OEh Suu C6y
there are $50, 900 colored voters,
of when 100000 dwell in the
sixteen late slaveholding States
leaving $4,000 for all the
others. OF these 10000, 1900
are in New England, 1000 in
the five central States Of New
York, New jersey, PeRnsylva-
MIA. Ohio and Indiana, and
$500 in the remaining ten
Western States. In particular
Slater there are in Delaware,
4,5OO; Maryland, $4,000, which
are larger figures than the
Democratic majerities in those
States. In Connecticut there
are 1000; in New Jersey, 1900,
and in New York fully 10000;
in Pennsylvania, $4,000; in
Ohio moro than 5000, and in
Kentucky not far from $4,000,
which the Sun thinks will seri-
ously endanger or reverse the
Democratic majorities in all
those States, and therefore the
Sun warns the Democratic par
ty against making any fight
against the colored brethren.
The Fifteenth Amendment
is undoubtedly a nicely laid
plan to insure permanent Radi-
cal ascendancy in the United
States, but the proverb says
such plans "gang aft aglee." "
The plan to carry the South by
negro votes the Radicals them
selves admit will not be worth
q bean straw unless supple
mented by force and fraud. 1t
is a water power good SO long
as you carry the water up
hill and let it run down. And
in relation to the other States,
we imagine the scheme will be
hardly fixed up before the Rad.
icals will find new issues-the
tariff and labor questions fol
illustration-have disarranged
party organizations to an ex'
tent which will seriously con,
fuse calculations based on &
supremacy secured by the ne
gro vote.-[N. 7. Bulletin.

The Democratic Side of the
House.

House is growing stronger
every day. Not, of course, in
numbers, but, with the acces-
sion of Cox, ofNew York, and
voorhees,, of Indiana, both
ready debaters, there seems to
have been a consolidation of
forces. AS a result, more is
yielded to them by the majori-
ty, and no more days and
nights are wasted in flllibuster-
ing. The country regarded
our gag-rule legislation as a
sort of war measure, and so up
held and defended it; and SO
long as it was used alone to
carry on the legislative part of
the war, it was well; but it was
too dangerous a party weapon
to play with beyond the days
when it was absolutely neces-
sary. While it would be a ma
tional misfortune to have the
control of the House pass into
the hands of the Democracy,
it will be a matter of congratu-
lation when the minority shall
besomewhat stronger, SO strong
in fact as to be able to force
deliberate action in all matters,
and to prevent the previous
question from being made a
party machine for compelling
a strict partisan vote.
At present the Democrats,
when they have a chance, can
make a good show in debate.
Cox is sharp, quick and witty.
Voorhees, is ready, and has a
voice that of itself attracts at
tention, because it is such a
wonderful reliefto have a men,
