with most vile and unprincipled and evil
acts, the kind things that have been done
yeus You were starving upon inadequate
wages in your native lands, and we have
given you such compensation as no
other country has paid to laborers.-
You were ignorant, and our common
schools were thrown freely open to you
and your children, and in our night
schools we teach your adults and our
schools from the primaries to our highest
universities of learning are open to your
children. If you profess religion, we
ask OF you no questions concerning it,
You may worship as you please Christ
the God, the sun, the oaks, the Pope, the
tablet ofyour ancestors, the white bull
Buddha, Mahomet, or the devil, and We
seek to put no constraints upon your con.
science. We give you equal protection
of our laws we defend you in our
courts. If sick, we take you to our free
asylums il criminal, we welcome you
to our prisons. We have no property
entailod from your acquisition. We have
no laws of prin-ogenture; no laws that
place traps and spring>guns ifyou poach
for game or fish. We have millions oil
free acres of government domain which
we invite you to occupy without payment.
Our mines are open to your labor. Ev-
cry vocation is open to you. The high
est political honors are within your
reach. When you die you may transmit
your accumulatiols to alien heirs. In a
word, we make you citizens, and place
you on the same plane with ourselves.
All professions, all civic honors, all mill.
tary achievements, all arts, industries,
and employments are offered to your
competition. If there are any wrongs
in the enactment or execution of the laws,
we offer you the electoral urn, and give
you equal voice with the native born to
correct and remedy them.
That all this is true you know. Look
about you in our community. First, you
Catholics. Look to your clergy, your
churches, their millions of accumulated
wealth. Look to Jesuit College on Mark
ct Street, and the other palace of learning
and religious worship now being erected
on Van Ness Avenue. You Irish and
Germans, look to your saving banks with
nearly 10000 900 of deposits to the
bankers, bonanza kings, millionaires,
Senators, Governors, State officials, lead
ing merchants, prominent business men,
honored and honorable citizens, who
under our laws and the generous hospi
tality of our political and social system,
have attained wealth, honor, and honor
able positions. How does it happen that
there are to day in San Francisco fifty
thousand prosperous, wealthy, honorable,
and respectable citizens of foreign birth
in the enjoyment of their homes, their
churches, their clubs, and their innocent
recreations at rural picaics, and you two,
or three, or four thousand discontented
grumbling, mpecunious, political NAL
contents are down here among the flea:
upon the sand~lot, cursng God, the Con
stltution, and the American people that
you have had bad luck ? | will answer
you, and you may kick back with all the
maleyolence of your ignorant heads and
your malicious heels.
You are an idle, drunken, worthless
vagabond lot. You drink too much beer
You hang about corner groceries, anC
you play "pitch seven up" for whisky
You are worthless ward politicians
You waste your lives pursuing dema
gogues who are more worthless thar
yourselves, more idle, more ignorant
more selfish, and more criminal. Ifyor
would go to work, there is plenty Of worl
to do. IT, you will stop drinking whisky
give up Chinese cigars, save your money
follow your wives advice, stay at home
nights, and go to church on Sundays
you can save money, buy a homestead
become independent, educate your chill
dren, and by sobriety, industry, ant
economy, become honored and respecta,
BILE American citizens. instead of remain
ing what you area discontented, worth
less set of ignorant foreigners. Yol
ought to be ashamed of yourselves. -
There is not millionaire, nor prosperous
business man in California, that has no
had his days of adversely, his days of tri
al, poverty, and hard labor. Those whC
came to California in the early time en-
dured its hardships. Some fell under the
burden, and filed early graves; some
prospered, all toied, all struggled; and
now you-most ofyou either late corners
or men of unthrifty, idle, end dissolut,
habits-what do you demand That w
divide with you?
Not much We will see you collect
lively and individually damned first
You must work as we did, and If yot
won't work, you shall have no beer, NJ
whisky, nor pitch nor seven up
You shall not help yourselves by threats
nor by violence. You shall not bring
about agrarianism, and division OF prop
erty, by politics or Constitutional tricks
We are not afraid of you as politica
party, nor of your shillalahs. The tim'
has not come in California for Nihilism
nor Socialism, nor Communism and i
your ieaders-yonr Kearney, your Beer
stecher, your Clitus Barbour, your Freud
your Vacquerel, your Bonnet, y'ul
Larkin, your Tinnin, your Howard, you
Terry, and all the other demagogues whC
deceive and mislead you all the dray
men, corset makers. cooks, hair dressers
lawyers, and demagogues whoaA. yol
have set up as political eracles-woulC
tell you the truth, they would tell yot
