1.-THE CIHINENE MUST CO.,

This shibboleth of the agitators OF the
Pacific coast. will, in the near future, be
come the cry OF the entire people OF this
nation. if some restrictive measures are not
adopted relative to the Mongolian immi-
grafton. The peopE. of the East, from
what little they have seen Of these Mongo-
lians, imagine them to be the subject of
deep.seated and unnecessary prejudice on
the part of the whites. 1t would require
but few days residence in San Francisco
to disabuse their minds of this idea. Is it
not enough to cause serious apprehensiOns
when we see in a population of 35O,OOOa
colony of 10000 Cinnamon? A people who
by their rigid economy in living can under
work the average laborer. and in this way
secure monopoly of all branches of ELL
ployment. forcing the whites from every
field of industry, thereby entailing upon
the natural population of country state
of suffering and pa,lperism that cannot be
stemmed. This, with many other very
important Objectionable features Of their
presence, is a just cause for the warfare
that has been raised against them by the
working people of the Pacific coast. Some
of the Eastern journals say that the ''labor
market of the East being full, they will
graviiate to the West" Now, the reverse
OF this is the actual fact. for landing on
the Pacific coast, they fill up all the av
cnues of industry and then naturally gray
itate to the East where they will push the
white man to the wall and over it.
Having passed short season in the
bay City" am able, from observation.
to express very decided opinion as to the
evils that will result from an unrestricted
immigration of these pestilential excres-
cences upon humanity. Their vely mode
of living is enough in itself to excite the
loathing and contempt of even the filthiest
of Caucassians. In numerous instances 4
room l2xl2 would be found to be occupied
by rs many us fifteen or twenty Cinnamon,
until the Sanitary Statute, known as the
Cubic Air Law" became an urgent ne
cessity. By this law it become INSIDE
meanor to livein rooms atfording less than
800 cubic feet of air per man.
They have no moral sense of the obliga-
ton of an oath and perjury among them is
very common. And they have no regard
for our institutions. having their own Sc
crct tribunals Of justice; and the China
man who by some mischance incurs the
displeasure of the hirelings of the six
is very soon gotten rid of
through the medium of the hired assassin.
Four-fifths of the eases occupying the at
tention of the several State and County
Courts in San Francisco are those of Chi
namen, who being encouraged by their in
herent disregard of the obligations of an
oath. are no way backward in the violation
Of the Statutes, principally those bearing
on theft, in its many forms. and murder.
But the cry has been raised that sour
is an asylum for the oppressed of
Ill nations While admitting that as the
.pirit of our institutions. we must except
he Chinese for many and potent reasons,
hat it is not our purpose to discuss in the
present paper. When we admit to the en-
Oyment of all the privileges OF our blessed
Republic the oppressed of all nations, we
lenand of them strict conformity with
ur laws and unwritten customs and
lsages, and when we find people who as
nation violate the former and ignore the
after with impunity. and who by their
natural disgusting habits tend to corrupt
md destroy all with whom they come in
contact, it is our duty to not only debar
hem from the enjoyment of the blessings
II the country. but to drive them from the
ouat,y. Their presence is communicating,
md the wages that they earn are locked
Up to be shipped to China, thus enriching
hat country at our expense by removing
he money from circulation.
