COOLIE LABOR.

AS far as we can learn, the north
ern advocates Of Chinese immigra
ton are found IN the Radical ranks.
There is an apparent inconsistency
in the antipathy to black slavery,
and the advocacy Of "yaller'' slavery,
by one and the, same faction. But,
the seeming inconsistency assumes
the shape of the most rigid consist
ency, when it is remembered that the
leading object of the Radical party
has been, and still is, to bring the
government within the control of
monied aristocracy.
TO amass enough of wealth upon
which to build this odious govern
inent, they have robbed the people
under every conceivable pretext, and
under no pretext at all. They have
robbed in the guise of railroad, land
manufacturing, whiskey, tobacco,
cotton, telegraph, and every other
sort of "ring," gradually gathering
the substance of the whole country
into their own garners-all the time
covering their robberies under the
cry Of Niger! REBEL! Klrklux!!!
So successful have the conspirators
been in pulling wool over the eyes of
fanatics and fools, that they are en-
boldened to play their last card, which
Is 10 Strike down the laboring classes,
and add to the wealth of the gov
erning aristocracy by forcing the
skilled mechanic and the brawny day
laborer To starve himself and family
on the pittance paid to the Chinese
Coolie. Natural antipathy and social
prejudice forbade any attempt to
bring the Southern negro and the
Northern laborer into direct compe-
tition, and stafve them side by side.
Baked by this antipathy of race, in
II, no doubt, original scheme of de-
grading white labor and of destroy
ing the just relations between capital
and labor by means Of social and
sexual miscegenation, the Radicals
resolved to flood the country with
heather Chinese, whose habits of
economy and -contented subsistence
upon diet rejected by our dogs, make
them the best tools with which to
drive white men and negroes from
the fields and workshops, ana enable
capital to get labor at its own price.
Having attained this point in their
programme, the remoter object is to
crush all manhood and intelligence
out of the laboring classes, either by
excessive oppression and poverty, or
by substituting for them, race of
mongrels compounded of Monaghan,
African and Yankee blood. With
such n class of menials, ut the mercy
of capital, the reward of their labor
will soon be rags and offal, whilst
their abiect poverty, weakness and
brute-lilNe apathy will he ample Sc
eurity against that resistance to op
preston which is prompted by every
throb of the Anglo-SaXon heart
though it beat within the bosom OF
the humblest peasant.
