value shall be determined by constitu-

quantity issued-all these are questions
which are now being extensively discussed
east Of the Rocky mountains, and should
be considered and discussed calmly and
candidly by everybody, whether in or out
of office, because they deeply and pro-
foundry affect the welfare of all. There is
a growing demand by the public for the
passage Of the law,

CORPORATIONS,
Which are purely the creatures of law, to
deal justly and without discrimination, for
or against any person or locality, with all
the people in the regions which their roads
traverse and supply. Any measure calcu-
lated to make these roads subordinate to
law, instead of permitting them to remain
above the law, and that shall force them
to deal equitably with all, shall in the
future as in the past have my hearty sup

The question of Chinese immigration
has been painfully familiar to many of
you for a long period. Fortunately,
through the wisdom of the Miners Unions
of Nevada and the just acquiescence in
their demands by the mine owners,
THE BARBARoUs CRUEL AND DEMoRALIZING
COMPETITION OF THE CHINESE
In our great leading industry has been
avoided. The blight is not upon us as it
is upon our sister State, California yet we
have not escaped the evil effects of the |
competition there. Each avenue of indus |
try occupied by the Chinese in California
lessons the avenues for white labor and |
tends to overcrowd the labor market here.
Chinese immigration is a question of
worldwide significance. 1t is a cosmical
moVement-the danger to flow from

held the opinion that the importation or
of Asiatic laborers to this
country should be not restricted, but alb
5Olutely and entirely prohibited. A dis
tinction is sought to be made between the
immigration of Chinese laborers
and the importation of coolies, but it is
distinction without a difference. The 1
whole population of China has been sub
ected for thousands of years to the most
,ruel despotism. During this gloomy
period not one single brave declaration for
liberty mas Geen made, not one blow for
reedom struck. The Chinese race has
olved the problem of achieving the maxi
mum of production with the minimum of t
consumption. The question is often flip 6
