WITHIN THE LAST TWO YEARS
thirty thousand laboring people had
left this State; they haa gene away.
and were not coming back to compete
with Cinnamon, which meant only
DEATH starvation, ignominy, and dis,
grace. No country could prosper un,
less its producers were consumers also.
Bat those Chinese had brought enough
rice md opium with them to keep thcil
bellies full and heads drunk for year
to come, Thirteen hundred white
men would spend It in tbo country.
Whereas al tie Chinese population l,i

ThGt steamer on Friday had brought
l,300 Chinese. There would soon bn
two steamers n monlh-that would hc
2.G0G per month, $4,000 a year, even
while being opposed by adverse !egis,
lation and ny public sentiment; but If
these barriers were broken down, there
would be $4,000 next year, and 10000
the year after that, uati! they were
strong enough to defy Christian civil

Chinese came aud took them, and at

Matches, slippers-all made by China
