The Chinamnn does not come here with

all prostitutes, whom they buy and se

they have a most exalted opinion of the
Flowery Kingdom and its Institutions,
mud look upon us with the supremest
contempt. All our wonderful achieve
men,s in the arts and sciences are but
the crndities of barbnrinns in the esti-
nation Of these self satisfied creatures.
We can teach them nothing that will
tend to make them American citizens, Tor

lean that does not pertain directly to the
accumulation Of dollars and cents.
n ", Mr.. Raub, you tell us these peo-
people are kept "pack,d together in their
filth" by American capitalists and "Cnnlie
Brokers'" That sounds very well to Ohio
readers who know nothing Of the matter
But | ask you il you really believe that
the Chinese quarters IN all The cities,
towns and viIl'ges Of this State nre kept
in the indesci ibaIly flty, crowded con
dition in which we lin ! all, through the
influence Of Capitalists" and "hrokers ?"
| am sure that yol know better. They
were born IN filth, raised in lilIh and mos,
unqualified by filthy will they remain unto
the end of the chapter. Nothing but
their own low, beasli, tasls and desires
keep them dirty and filthy beyond des-
ERUPTION.
And you further state that they are
unreasonably taxed, yet pay it all wilhont
question. Ask any ASST tssur or tax collrc- |
tor in this Stale If that be true; if they
are NOT the slipprieSt cass with whom |
they have to deal. Not only slippery but
actually rebelliOns, in many instances
opposing these officers oi the law in the |
performance Of their duties, with deadly |
weapons. But few weeks since Mr., Van

more peaccable, wor ny man does not re- |
side in this State-wus attacked by n |
Chinamnn Of whom lie was irving to col |
lect poll tax. The Chinaman without the |
least warning drew pistol, struck him on |
the hand with it So rs to disable his right |
arm, aud then attempted to push him over |
forty foot precipice into the middle ft rk |
OF the American river. The opporlune |
arrival OF white man upon the scene |
saved The lie Of Mr.. Van Emon. saw |
that honest, industrious, inofensire, tar paying
Chinaman rs he was being taken down t.
Auburn for trial. This isunlv one case
out Of the many that i could cite Of the
same nature. Your great imagination"
surely ran away with you on that point, MIR. |
Raub.
AMI you assure us hat "He adds so
much to the whole stock Of produce, that
the supply il equal to the demand, and he
gets but nominal price Tor his goods"
Very good. But suppose that in lieu of
these Cinnamon, Europeans with families
dependant upon hem were keeping mp this
equilibrium between supply and demand
Would not our country he much belier uh
Yea, verify. If you are II fairmindei,
thinking man, You must admit that it
would. But You may answer that such
exchange is impracicabe. / affirm lIual
il is not. The first step to I've taken in this
direction is to stop Chinese emigration to
the United Stnles abroga the BurIing-
anne Treaty, and the problem will solve it,

revolutions. 1t * because | apprehend |
