SAN Francisco, Cal. Feb. %, 1879.
The City Council of Los Angeles yesterday adopted
the following and telegraphed it to the PRESIDENT
The people of the Pacific coast have had thirty
years experience with Chinese coolie slavery, and
they ought to know something of its practical
working and they ask protection against the fearful
scourge. Our Eastern brethren in general do not
understand this question practically as they have
had no such experience therefore their clamor is
senseless
President Lincoln killed African slavery after it
had attained gigantic proportions. President Hayes
now power scotch if not to forever strange
Asatic slavery shores in its infancy. In be-
half of tho people Of our city and Commonwealth
we fervently but respectfully beg that he will not
lose the golden opportunity
