peace, An erican commerce, American
home philanthropy, American protection
to the most valued social interests OF the
Pacific coast, and on the broad ground Of
wise and timely guarding Of modern civil

contact with overwhelming numbers
of an ancient and incorrigibie
social barbarism on American soil. Our
language TO be concise, We mean 1t is
to he comprehensive to the last degree,
and when we recommend the APP
proval OF the billin ;heinterests Of Ameri.
can labor we mean to protect It from the
descending grade toward squalilness and
want, and when we refer to American

the west on this subject, which is over
whelming, should be regarded by the east
as conclusive. We are on the ground
and know whereof we speak.
