The Workingmen and the chinsse

There is no excuse for mlsapprehend'
ing the position taken by the working
men on the question of imported
Chinese labor. In all. their meetings
they have stated their views explicitly
and with entire freedom from ambigui
ty. Disclaiming any desire to hinder
free immigration, andwelcoming free
labor from every part of the world IN
all branches of industry, they have de
precated and denounced the importa-
ton by contract by capitalists, and not
coming of their own volition. The
resolutions adopted at the meetings OF
workingmen wherever held, have
drawn the line of distinction clearly.
They have all declared in so many
words that they welcome free labor let
it come whence it may. But GER
tain class of journals, whose business
it is, while protesting much solicitude
for the welfare of the workingmen, to
make common cause with those who
seek to, oppress hlm, are, doing their
best to place him in a false position
by making it appear that he opposes
Chinese emigration under any clrculn-
stances. The workingmen have said
nothing to warrant such an lmputa-
ton. The origin of the agitation on
the subj ct was the importation of
bonded Iaborers into Massachusetts
a movement which would have been
insignificant in itself were it moi the
precursor of others. The working
men object to the system for two Tea-
sons I: First, because it is the iDtroduc-
tion into the country of new species
of slave labor to compete with their
free labor; and. second, because the
application of capital in this way will
impart an unnatural stimulus to emil
grafton, and bring thousands OF these
bondsmen to our shores where only
scores of free laborers would come
from the same source. This contract
system once fairly under way, with
its paid agents in China, and special
inducements held out to the teemlng
millions of that populous empire, and
soon they would outnumber on our
Western coast those who are daily
landing with their hands and muscles
free in our Eastern ports. But this
is only the consequence. The main
objection is that they come as bonds
men to degrade, and not as freemen
to elevate labor. The workingmen of
the country have the right to demand
that their case be fairly stated, and
that the men who are coming wealth
out of laws obtained in their name, do
not, through their organs, adj misre-
to their other wrongs.

to see his face once more.
A month passed, and then came
night when the wind howled an

me in vain.
Finally at some slight noise I start

day had come, and there stood Mrs.
bennett, the housekeeper, in my
room. She was singularly pale and
wan-or was it the sickly dull light !
