The chinese Question.

zephyr in favor of the 'ssolid South"
on tie Chinese question. These so.caIl-
ed orators "pont with pride" to the
plank in tie 'soiid south" platform
(which proves the party to be IN SYM
pathy with the poor white man and np
posed to the leprous Chinee" The Ma
Democratic plato rm
contains an ambiguous reference to tie
Chine.e matter, to be sure. but it really |
has no meaning-it is simply the ''mo-
las<es spread Upon the bread to ca;cI. |
flies.' The "plank' does not propose
or promise any relief, but simply says
"N more Chinese immigration, except"
and here's where the dodge comes III
Except Tral elers" How Oh earth
are Cinnamon to get here except they
travel And are not all Cinnamon
travellers They are all transient per
sons, SO far as this country Is concerned
ard every mothers sou of them expects
to return to the flowery kingdom at the
earliest possible moment. So it will be
seen that the the declaration practically
means s'no more Chinese immigration
excer: all Chinese who have mitd TO
ccme 70 It further says !: Except
for education" It doesn't explain what
kind of education. Therefore they may
come to be s.educated' in the making
OF shoes, saving wood, building houses
branch of industry to complete their
! political education, or even to pursue
ard perfect their Knowledge of the doc,
| tr.nes OF Coutucius, and tor these "edu-
catiorar" purposes they may come.
Md are not these the very reasons
IS hjch brought them here, and which
still brings them ? But there is still
! another except: Except for foreign
commerce." This lets i'll all tie great
Chinese companies, and any and all
Cinnamon he!orging to them, tor you
| cannot admit the agent and exclude the
see that Il G eleventh. plank i'll the solid
South Democratic platform is the
mere<t nnnsense-a silly and weak at
temp, of the bTiga1iers to catch sillier
| Democratic flies with Chinese molasses?
Here is the plank entire
Observation-Disclosures of the Bur
| lingame treaty no more Chinese in-
migration except for travel, education
aud foreign commerce, aud therein
carefully guarded.
If such stuff means anything, it means
tl.at tie Chinese shall enjoy all the
rights guaranteed them under tie Bur
lingame treaty, and the solid South
Demuc1atic party guarantees to "care-
fiiI guard" those rights II is no
seere. that the solid South Is trying to
| secure all the Chinese labor tor the
South, To replace tl;at of the negro,
hoping to make as good use ot the Chit
nese as they did of the negro in the
ante belJ,tm times. With four or five
million Chinese TO do the labor of the
South, and with three votes for every
five Chinamen, the South could be held
'.snlid" for all Time TO CT me. The :ssol-
i'll Soutli' dues not want the Bur.iu-
game treaty me1dled with, ard the
Northern Democracy have no Will that
conflicts with that of their busses. The
Democracy having been The party OF
aoro slave labor, it Is unnatural TO ex
pect II 10 give US relief from Chinese
servile labor
Tie Republican party, on the other
hand, is committed by its record and
traditions to prevent the existence o
slave labor IN this country, aud to the
Republican rarty the people can Iool
to have remedied any and all evil,
: growing out of Chinese immigration
and these remedies will be lawtn "
legally aud honorably applied, SO tia
our Government will not gain the i'll vii
of the Chinese empire, or the country

able commerce now existing betwee
the two countries, brought about by th
Burlingame treaty.
D | What the Republican Party Proposes
Upon its record and its candidate
the Republican party asks the country
approval, and stands ready to avow it
purpose for the future. 1t proposes t
rebuild our commercial marine, drive
from the sea by Confederate cruisers
aided and abetted by foreign hostility
1t proposes to foster labor, industry am
enterprise. 1t proposes to stand fo
! education, humanity and progress.
! proposes to administer the Governmen
