The Chinese Question.
Speech OF Hon. Frank Pixley, of
San Francisco.

Hon Frank NJ. Pixley, of San Fran
cisco, one Of the Oldest and most inhu
entail Republicans in California, ha
lately delivered speech against Chi
nese immigration. For a long tim
MIR. Pixley has been one of the mos
earnest, hard working and determines
Radical Republicans Of that State
But now he is no longer with that par
lily which proposes to drive out tn,
I white labor of the country or make j
Forever the slave Of bondholding or
istocracy. HIS speech is worthy til,
attention of every man in the country
and to it, or great portion thereof, We
call the attention of our readers.
1t is time the laboring men Of this
country were organizing 10 protect theil
Interests.
1t is the aim of the Government. to
|fasten upon the worklngmen of the
United States the bondholding aristoc-
racy now cursing the country, and rob
bing labor Of its reward. And as this
aristocracy grows in power, increases
in strength, and multiplies its dollars,
it proposes not only to control the
Government, but to bring to this coun-
try swarms of Chinese laborers, who
will work for little or nothing; for they
have no ambition nor disposition to
make for them elves homes as have
bc.ner laborers. and thus drive the hon,
fest, laborious, "rebellious' manhood Of
the country into that poverty which, in
zine, will make every poor workingman
of the country worse than a slave, and
more than q mental.
The aim of the monopolists is to
cheaper labor, but not to lessen the
price for manufactured goods. Com
bining together, using large sums OF
money, spending tens of thousands +
dollars in labor-saving machinery, and
then employing Chinese workmer, it is
proposed to bring the entire weight of
oppressive monopolies to bear upon
the backs Of the workingmen till they
will forever consent to vote as their
masters, the moDopolists, shall dictate,
and be content to live upon what their
Lords and masters shall see fit to pay
them.
1t is about time the white men of the
country-North, South, East and West
were banding together for protection.
We are opposed to the employment
Of Chinese labor in America. We
would rather see employed the earnest
white men who make little homes, arc
then large ones, who 60 out into the
W estern country and make towns, cit
les, and States great and glorious.
We would rather see employment given
to those who have genius, ambition, in
dustry, and who have enough pride in
America to do that which makes the
country attractive.
This is q question Of life and death |
to the workingmen of America. 1t is
a question CT momentous importance
to those now living by labcr-to the
young men Of the country who have
but a life Of labor before them-and
they will be justified, in self defense, in
adopting the most vigorous measures,
not only for Kidding the country of
these pests and insults to the labor of
the land, but set such examples as will
deter others from coming here. But

SPEECH OF Mr.. rIxLEY.
Mr.. Pixley said:
] do not believe in the "universal
brotherhood of man and the fatherhood
of God" 1t takes a great deal Of faith
10 believe that all who claim to be hu-
man were created by God for men
