Carson daily appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1873-1877, 1877-01-05

(! ence 70 tbs influence Of the IHiOess OK
the city Of Carson: Bringing the matter
directly to our own doors. let me invite
your attention to the effect, present and
prospective, upon the town OF Carson
and county of Otnasby. Of the presence
Of the Chinese. There are in this coun'
ty about l 300 white males old enough to
labor. OF this number probably not
over 500 are employed On daily or month
" wages. The census OF this county.
taken last year. shows 500 Chinese males,
nearly every one of whom is laborer.
These Chinese are employed in various
| occupations at prices ranging from VI
per week for boys as fomestics 70 $50
| per month for general labor. Heretofore
| The Chinese have afforded the cheap do
| nestle labo. for families, but az il they
we're determined no white child should
be raised up to the habits Of industry
snd domestic labor, they have of late
| Years imported large number OF cool. :
boys. aged 10 to - years. whom they
hire out to families 70. 81 per week.
| When children know that Chinese boys
can be procured SO cbeapiy it IS with
great reluctance they will assist in house
hold labors, and they feel in measure
| degraded BY performing that which can
| he SO cLespiy performed by hired labor.
Hence. cur hoodlums-both male and
female. 1t has been suggested IL some
quarters that this hoodium element is
now 80 large as TO demand reformatory
school. II the presence OF this cheap
Chinese labor - continued III our midst
and thereby idleness encouraged and
fostered among the rising white poruls-
ton, all the resources Of the State vii!
not furnish reiormatcry scLoolhouses
enough to hold. feed and clothe our
hoodium population. Let US so to the
roc, of the evil by Kidding the country of
ths cause OF the evil. Let US elevate
labor by afording it in the humber po-
sitions of life fair compensation. Sup
pose we had 500 iaboring white men with
their cottages aud families in place OF
the 500 Cinnamon now in the county,
who would be injured by so happy n
change? Certainly no one bu. the Chi
ramen and few corporations.
