Mr.. Pierce, Of Massachusetts,, objected
TO the anti-Chineso plank on the ground
that u was not In accordance with Repub-
lican principles, and was an insult 10 the
memory Of Abraham Lincoln. who died In
defense Of tho Republican theory that In
this country. all men Of whatever race or
color, were equal before tho law. To Mr..
Pierco's argument Senator Jones, OF Ne
vada, answered ~ follows;
ouR SENATOR'S AxTr-cHrNEsE SPEECH.
Senator Jones said: Gentlemen Of the
Convention: After 20 long and tedious q
s~casion, I do not propose 10 occupy the a.
tcntion Of this convention but . few min.
utcs. Tho question In n Of the greatest
Importance. not only TO own citizens,
but moro especially TO our " lsborers.
with regard 70 the reward that they shall
get for their labor and with regard to the
morals Of the community. The people Of
the Pacific slope have found an Invasion
there worse than the grasshopper plague.
worse than tho plague Of the locust. They
find Q people who bring with them no re-
spect for our Government, no knowledge
of our language brutalized people In
whom we recognize neither honesty among
their men nor virtue among their women.
and they have planted themselves like q
leperous sore In our midst. l believe there
L. scarcely an exception on tho Pacific
Coast with regard TO tho action which
shonld In taken by this convention ON the
resolutions submitted by the committee.
Many Of us-indecd . majority Of the law
abiding people upon that coast--are In
favor Of protecting the Chinese. but We
find that public opinion Ii 10 strong
against them that IL IL almost impossible
TO do NO. The very language OF the China
men has degenersted into
LIRIpIxous sLAx0.
They do nothing 10 support the schools
Of the country; they do nothing TO sup
port the churches Of the country they do
nothing to support organized society In
the country. These Cinnamon can work
for ten cents \ day. perhaps. and success
fully compete with the American laborer
who raises a family. and who, when the
country Ia In danger. places himself In the
front In is defense. In these resolutions
already offered here and 10 which no oppo-
sition has been made. I find n with rela-
ton TO the tariff--thAt the duties on Inn
ports shall be No levied that the rights Of
the American lAborer shall DO protected,
and that he shall receive a high wages ~
II IL possible for him 10 receive. i have
no doubt that the gentleman who address,
cd YOU Il In favor OF the amendment propos-
al In favor Of these imports or tariffs for
the protection ~ tho American laborer-

shows himself TO be In favor Of the unlim-
tied and free importation Of the coolie
scmi-slavc laborcr 10 compete with the
American labor OF the Pacific Coast. Jap
plause. This resolution Ia for nothing
but this-that this convention calls on
Congress to appoint . committee TO inform
itself. NO that II shall know ~ much about
this question N those who live on that
side Oh tho country and have been subject
ed 10 alien horrors. AL u asks IL that
Congress shall investigate. and. II nothing
shall DO necessary. then, of course. moth
ing will be done, and ! hope there will be
no serious opposition TO the passage OF tho
resolution ~ offered by tho committee.
