Of itself, they can easily settle the whole diff
Guilty at once and forever, before it assumes
such proportions as are likely to occasion
serious trouble.
AS at most meetings of this kind, there was
a good deal of nonsense set forth, and the
very loose manner in which workingmen are
in the habit of reasoning upon great princi-
Piles of political economy was strikingly shown
in the protest embodied in the platform
against the granting of the public lands to
corporations, coupled with the demand that
they shall be reserved for actual settlers, and
also in the idea expressed by one of the
speakers that the Pacific Railroad is respon-
BILE for the increase of Chinese immigration,
and that it is therefore an evil to the work
ing classes. The men who reason thus, because
they can see no direct gain to themselves from
the completion of great national work like
the Pacific Railroad, lose sight altogether of
the fact that the laboring population, more
than any other, must be indirectly benefited
by the stimulus given to all branches of in
dustry by the opening of great avenue for
trade, and that these benefits must very much
outweigh any disadvantage that may result
from any increase in the Chinese population
that is likely to occur at present.
With regard to granting the public lands
to railroad companies, we do not pre-
tend to deny that there can be such
thing as too much of it, but if great rail-
roads like that which now exists and those
which are projected to connect the Atlantic
with the Pacific seaboard, are to be built, it
is absolutely necessary that Government aid
should be extended; and this aid can best be
given in the form of land grants. At the
present time, at least, the workingmen of
the country have nothing whatever to COM
plain of in this respect, for there are
millions of acres of unoccupied public
lands that anybody can settle upon
at Government rates, but any working
man who desires to obtain homestead in
the great West will, if he has no more than
enough intellect to enable him to WELD
spade and hoe, select his farm on the line of
a railroad, instead of burying himself in the
wilderness, and in so doing he will be prac-
tical exemplifcation of the wise policy of
the Government in granting lands in aid of
great national enterprises whereby the public
are quite as much benefited as the individual
stockholders.
Messrs. Leonard Myers and William d.
Kelley, in their letters read at the meeting
last night, both expressed sound common
sense views on this subject, that it would be
we'll for working men to consider with atten-
tion.
The evening telegraph. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1864-1918, 1870-10-06
THE COOLIE QUESTION:

BEFORE the troubles arising out of slavery
culninated in the Rebellion it was clearly
foreseen that the Chinese question would be
the next great subject for agitation, and that
a contest with regard to the importation and
employment of Chinese laborers, if it lacked
some of the disturbing elements of slavery,
would be characterized by others scarcely
less dangerous to the peace of the country
A combination of circumstances, the chief of
which is the completion of the Pacific Rail-
road, have precipitated the Chinese question
upon us even sooner than was expected; and
the only policy that we can pursue, if we
hope to avert disaster in the future, is to deal
with it promptly on the broadest prin-
ciples of justice and human
ity. Leaving out of consideration the
narrow minded and bigoted ideas of the least
intelligent classes Of workingmen and the
miserable demagogism of trading politi-
clans, there is one plain and practical method
of dealing with the Chinese question that
will commend itself to all who are capable of
forming opinions on the subject. The i'm
portation of coolies under contract for a
term of years ought to be forbidden under
the severest penalties, and their importation
under any circumstances by labor spectators
ought to be discouraged in every way that it
can be done legitimately and without vio-
latipg the natural rights of any one. At the
same time it would be worse than folly to
attempt the exclusion of the Chinese from
the country while we welcome immigrants
who come to us from every other part of the
world. The principles upon which our
Government is founded and our whole
policy for nearly a century are against the
idea that any discrimination can or ought to
be made by our laws for or against any class
of foreigners who may desire to settle here;
and if the Asiatics, like the Europeans, are
left to follow their natural impulses in leav-
ing the Old for the New World, we will receive
what will prove to be in many respects an
exceedingly valuable addition to our laboring
population. while there will be no occasion
to fear that the labor market will be impro-
perly crowded. The workingmen of the
United States have no right to object to
the Chinese of their own option emigrating
to our shores, and no combination, however
powerful, can prevent them from doing so,
but they have right to protest against the
coolie trade, and in their opposition to the
revival of slavery under this new shape they
will have the cordial support of the best and
most intelligent people Of the country, whe-
ther they belong to the so-called working
classes or not.
We are pleased to see that the platform
adopted at the anti-coolie meeting held last
night at National Hall embodies substantially
the same ideas on this subject as we have al
ways advocated; and if the workingmen
throughout the country will thrust aside all
demagogism and take their stand fairly and
squarely against the coole trade pure and

WILLIAM B. THOMAS on THE
'sHEATHEN OHINEE"

THE Press has been cruel enough to publish
yer6atim the letter which William B. Thomas
wrote to the Anti-Coolie mass meeting held at
National Hall last evening. 1t throws new
light upon the causes of the intense hostility
of this rabid foe of the ''Heathen Chinee,"
which will be readily understood by our
readers when they peruse the document ap-
pended to this article. The Chinese are alb
surd enough to make political promotion de-
pend upon literary attainments, and the rigid
enforcement of a similar rule in this
country would exclude Thomas from the

Fattening Hogs.

The best time to commence fattening is
in the months of September, October and
November, and the worst in December
January and February. A certain amount
of food is needful to keep the animal warm
when the thermometer is at zero. All
this is saved when it stands between thirty
and sixty degrees. In addition to this, the
absolute loss of food by freezing to the
spout and trough, and the inevitable mix
ing with snow and slush, is never less
Ordinarily than five per cent. not to say
anything about the trouble and cost of con-
tinually thawing frozen swill, and bringing
it to the temperature that it will be the
most acceptable to the uncomfortable and
semi-torpid animal
The eastern method is to commence fat
tening by boiling potatoes, pumpkins, APP
pies, or other vegetables, and mix little
bran, shorts or provender with the cooked
vegetables when hot, thus thoroughly cook
ing the meal. 1t is then placed in tubs or
vats and allowed to slightly ferment, when
it is ready for use. The amount Of meal
is gradually increased till near killing time,
when meal well cooked is given alone.
The meal is composed of oats, buckwheat
and corn, or any other coarse grain, or of
any two of them, generally finishing with
corn meal alone. Thus treated, they fat
ten much faster than on dry corn and at
much less expense. 1t costs more labor,
but at season when it can be well spared,
and it is well recompensed.
The very common practice of leaving
quantity of food before them constantly,
so as to be sure they have enough, is very
wasteful, and very bad policy; so is irregu-
lar feeding. Strict regularity as to times
of feeding, quality and quantity feed, are
very desirable. Twice feeding each day is
better than three times; but whatever the
number of times adopted, they should be
every day alike, and at about the same time
each day. Once giving too little-then too
much-sometimes emitting a meal, then
giving an extra one, or feeding at irregular
times-any of these practices will detract
materially from the value of the pork bar

Oiling Farm Implements.

The Boston Cultieator gives the follow
ing sensible and practical advice to its
readers:
every farmer should have can of lin
seed oil and a brush on hand and when
ever he buys new tool, he should soak it
we'll with the oil and dry it by the fire or
in the sun, before using. The wood by
this treatment is toughened and strength
ened, and rendered impervious to water
Wet a new hay rake and when it dries it
will begin to be loose in the joints; but if
well oiled, the wet will have but slight
effect. Shovels and forks are preserved
f,om ciecing and cracking in the top of
the handle by oiling; the wood becomes
smooth as glass by use, and is far less liable
to blister the hand when long used. AK
and hammer handles often break where
the wood enters the iron; this part partcu-
larly should be toughened with oil to secure
durability. Oiling the wood in the eye of
the AK will prevent its swelling and shrink
ing, and sometimes getting loose. The
tools on large farm cost 4 heavy sum of
money: they should be of the most approx
ed kinds. 1t is a poor economy, at the
present extravagant prices of labor, to set
men at work with ordinary old-fashioned
implements. Laborers should be required
to return the tools to the places provided
for them; after using, they should be put
away clean bright and oiled. The mold
boards of plows are apt to get rusty from
one season to another, even if sheltered;
they should be brushed over with few
drops Of oil when put away, and they will
then remain in good order until wanted"
