The Carson daily appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1865-1870, 1870-06-17

TIE DEMAGoGuERY of the DemocratI
party upon the Chinese question ant
their willful un,ruthfulness in dealn:
with it are so palpable that it is won
der that their blipdest followers car
longer be deluded BY their profession:
and statements. The last Legislature
of California was Democratic by a very
large majority and whilst the mos
prominent issue of the canvass which
resulted in the election of that prepon-
derating number of Democratic law
makers was an Incorporating antago
nism to Chinese immigration and Chi
nese labor, not one enactment was per-
fected to alleviate the so called '' fearful
evils" which have been so much spou-
ted over BY the anti-Coolie organiza-
lions of that State. They promised all
sorts of injustice and persecution to the
poor Cinnamon, before election, bat
when the time came to act, they vapor-
lied and clustered and-subsided. True
they were poxerless to do anything,
and knew it as we'll before as after their
election but they never made move
ment toward the redemption Of their
profuse promises. Still, however, the
Democratic press continues to belle the
" Radicals" by making it appear that
the Republican Party seeks to thrust
out white men in order to make room
for Coolie labor. The changes are rung
upon this senseless, baseiess charge dd
nauseam With the Chinese Treaty
staring Them in the face, treaty which |
fosbids the importation of Coolies and |
the naturalization Of Cinnamon, they |
persist in the false assertion that the
in Congress are seeking to
thrust Coolie labor upon the country
and to make voters of the Chinese who
are amongs, US.
Here the other day Senator Stewart
a bill from the Judiciary Com
mittee to prohibit contracts for servile
labor. We alluded to This bill yester-
lay and gave a brief synopsis of its
nature aud intent. IL is to prevent The
Of CooIie labor. One
would suppose that the Democratic
press would have the fairness to ap-
prove of this effort agains, Coolieism by
Senator Stexar,-thst they would, at
east, give a .s Radical credit for one
,ood act. But what do we find? By
reference to n late number of the Chi
ago Times, a viruient Democratic sheet,
me of the leading organs of the West
m Democracy, we End the following .
litter TRADE:
Among the blatant demagogues and radi-
ais in the Senate who have largely disguised !.
be more decent portion of Republican jour
ais, there can hardly be found one who dab
les more frequently in malevolence and '
saddle than this man Stewart He attained q
o:oriety BY Jacobinism and " making the
igger squeal," and now wishes to gain re-
u,ation as philanthropist BY taking up the
hinese. II is the privilege of any citizen to
lake a contract for Labor for any period of r
me that may be agreed upon by the parties
the contract, and this is privilege which )
oDgress cannot take away or abridge. Con- b
-ess has no more jurisdiction over contracts e
ade between Americans and Cinnamon, and
Stewart were not donkey he would un- :,
.rstand this. His proposition, however, is y
more absurd than others which daily re- e
i've attention in Congress. Il
Commenting upon this the San Fran !"
SEQ Chronicle says: Is
This is Democratic fairness. we presume. A
e now wish to know what the true position !,
the Democracy is on this question. Is >;
e position assumed by the Chicago Times -
e orthodox one (. If so, it would be well II
at the wcrkingmen of San Francisco were p
ade acquainted with the fact. The Demo- OF
acy must not obtain influence and votes a
Ider false pretenses. We await the Exami- r.
II s answer.
