ment Of some contemporary, and then
staits in to show that the contemporary
| uuotei is wrong. In doing this it places
| its antagonist always at decided disad-
vantage, because it attributes to him
sentiments not only never uttered but
never entertained. The solving of the
Chinese problem is wha. the Record is
| undertaking row, and in doing this 1t
tinIs AL antagonist in the APPEAL. This
little e1,rac, from late editorial in the
ApPE,I * iouni particularly objection
able by that journal:
We make no plea for Cinnamon be-
cause they are Cinnamon; Int We do
plead for the observance Of the princi-
Piles of humanity.
Taking this for text, the Record IN
dites column leader. attributing senti-
| merts to the APPEAL never uttered.
After asserting tina, we would drive Eu-
ropean immigrants from our shores 10
give place to Chinese Coolies, the Record
says:
We would take the American labcrer
or mechanic BIS the hand and give him
employment and the opportunity to find
a market for his labor free from the
| competition of swarm of Asia.ic coolies.
| The APPEAL man may II he pleases prefer
the company of the latter and allow his
| fellow countryueu TO Starve or to steal,
| while he puts the means of making
living in the hands of his Mongolian pro
| teces. The APPEAL has, with the rest Of
American citizens, the privilege OF form
| ing its own Judgment and publishing its
! conclusions. While that is SO, il should
no. blame many thousands of American
| citizens for endeavoring TO combat @
| source Of injury which threatens to de-
| s.roy them. For thus obeying the first
| instinct of the human bosom, the law OF
| self-preservatiop. they surely should not
be eensured. much less abused and in
suited in the manner and terms which
the APPEar. thought Fl. to employ. The
| ArPy.I. may prefer Chinese to white
people, but il should not insult others
who do not share that peculiar taste.
We publish the foregoing for the pur-
pose Of showing the unreasonable and
illogical ground occupied by Democratic
editors and the Democratic party gem
orally. If there is any one tenet upon
which the Democracy are 4 unit, We be-
lieve tina. to be free trade. And if there
is any one subject upon which the De-
nocracy- upon the Pacific slope, at
leas,-grow wild over, it is the residence
amonS rs OF n few thousand Chinese.
Tha: these Chinese are industrious is
admitted by the assertion that they are
taking bread from the mouths Of poor
white people. Now, while the Democ-
racy would drive these Chinese away
from Us. they would at the same time
admit the products of their handiwork,
if they We're back in China, duty free in
the United States. European labor is
cheaper than American labor. The Re
publican party has lesislated SO as to
pro.ec. American industry. This legis-
lation has been denounced by Democratic
orators and Democratic editors every
where. Republicans contend that to
admit foreign fabrics duty free will force
American Iaborers to work for the same
low wages which foreigners receive. or
drive American enterprise IN the same
liue out OF the markets entirely. The
Democracy. on the contrary. declare that
what we call protection To American
industry" to be nothing more than the
building up of gigantic manufacturing
monopolies at the expense OF the con-
sumers They would destroy the entire
system of American manufactures for
the benefit Of those of foreign nations.
thereby turning out CT remuerative em-
ployment hundreds of thousands Of
American skilled laborers Of both sexes,
and at the same time they would inau-
surate q riot because an insignificant
portion of the inhabitants of the Pacific
States is composed of Chinese cheap
laborers, In other words. the Democ-
racy would maintain pauper labor III
other lands, at the expense of our own
lsboring classes. but would raise mob
to chastise poor Chinaman who worked
for psuper 3 wages in the United States.
