PHILADELPHIA, March 4.

Beeeher lectpred before three thousand per-
sons last night, on " The New Men Of the New
Nation" 1t treated on immigration. and had
much to say OF the Chinese. Last week, he said,
we held our breath to see II the great disgrace
was to be cast upon the nation. but thanks to
our President the struggle WAS avoided. The
Chinese in California had been mobbed, stoned
aud heavily taxed, to support schools that they
were no. allowed to attend. and were not allowed |
to vote. Since the Jews had been expelled |
from Spain, there had no. been so wild schism |
as the driving out of the Chinese from Cali. |
FORMS. He defended the Chinese, and showed |
What great works they had performed here, and
said il they did not send their money home
they could not send back the results Of their
labors. The great secret of all this opposition
to the Chinese is that they had no vote. Mr..
Blaine says this generation must settle the
question Of whether the religion Of Christ,
or Of Confucius, should prevail in the
West. Confucius never had any religion, and
never taught any. He taught domestic moral
philosophy, under the paternal government Of
domestic political economy. II he were com.
PEELED to choose between Confucius and religion
represented by the hoodlums, he should choose
Confucius. We need cheap labor, because there
is cheap and low grades Of work to be done
labor which white men in California will not
do. II there is anything that California wants,
i. is cheap labor. It is-suicide to drive men
away who do what white men will not do. He
spoke Of the high wages paid before the Chinese
came, instancing the prices Of cooks and
chambermaids, who.used to,get from SIS to $loo
per month. 1t was good thing for the mon.
opolists in this case, but 1t was unquestionably
bad for the community. We need our under
class to be hewers Of wood and drawers of
water. Our people will not do this. It will be
the greatest mistake that was ever committed in
California il these busy, humble laborers are
driven out. He believed that II there was q
fair bipartisan vote in California there would
not be this war on the Cinnamon, which had
been instigated by 1rishmen. Irish blood is
rich; it is fervid, it Is potential it is like some
wine-it is better diluted. Beecher said that
China is not sbarbarous country; 1t is civilized
nation, End he ridiculed, the idea Of there being
. food Of Cinnamon to America. Thye are as
much attached to their country as we to ours.
We are just as likely all to go to China as they
are to come here. There is only one Chinamsn
in the United States to 500 white men. Beecher
concluded with vigorous demonstration of the
Chinese bill. as having been inspired by poll.
ticians for base political purposes, and said We
should be thankful that from the shame and
disgrace which threatened our country by its
passage we had found deliverance.
