"lET US REASON TOGETHER"
In the bliss OF our Opaquest ignorance we sup
posed that we had settled the Labor Question"
In a conspicuous editorial article published in
the August number Of this magazine. UnfOrtu-
natcy for us, however, we closed the article with
the above pntitude, and this Is what comes of 1t /:
Salem Oregon Sept lst 1870
Let ns reason tOgeathcr
Mr. ); :. Packard IN you're article in the August
Ing Cheap labor and to conclude you're first mr.
ticle You say let us reason t0geather Now am
Q, firm believer In Jesus Of Nazerth and hold
that all reasoning must have for its object the
great Christian law, All things whatsoever you
would that another should do unto you do you
enven so unto them and let me take you're Con-
cludeing Sentence aganG Ifthe skilled workman
of this Country cannot compete In hand labor
with the unframed Ignorant SONS of Asia and
Africa let them make better uSo of thCr brains
In directing WHARF others should follow IL Is i'm
portent that shoes should be innde but II Is not
impOrtent that intelligent white men should
make them and surely not II ignorant yellow
and black men can make thom cheaper nnd bet
ter pardon my hnstey opinion when | say that
II Is my belief that you Judged the qualicty OF
those shoes by their being u little cheaper and as
would naturally follow more ready sale |
do not believe that you ever wore out n pair Of
those shoes to test the qualiety but caVcn admit
ting all these TO be strictly true by your own
knowledge of the fncts Is II doing just MS you
would be done by to say to these men who have
carefully fitted themselves by constant employ
ment to the trade Of makelng shoes, You are not
working quite as cheap as the Chinese and not
quite ~ well you go and find employment in di-
recting Coolies how to work you are above any
work that they can do ." ." When ever you try
to make amy one think he Is amy better than
the work he has learned to do you are going out
OF the line Of u reformer am Potatoo digger
by trade but the Coolcys Can dig Potatoes little
cheaper than | can II undertake to show them
they do not understand and viii not pay mo
amy thing for showing either will thpr employ
thing showing thpm
To make an honest living by diging potatoes
now Coolies one Of them with hoe nndunOthcr
with pole with basket on each end can do it
cheaper than could People tell me am above
dlging potatoes and after looking around find
no other business that any one Is willing to pay
me the same price for doing still know have
brains SO thought would see what Mr. Pack
ard was willing to pay mo for showing him how
to reason and now let me say whatever 10 Is |

my parents believed that the Author of All
things whatsoever you would that others should

the Son OF God and when the Chinese bring this
belief with them to live by then they Will receive
the same consideration that other Christian Ma
tlOns received Let us first help the widow 0nd
