Gen. GarfieId's Admissions.


The proofs that Gen. Garfield is mo-
opposed to the influx of Chinese into tho
United States, but, on the contrary, in
favor Of it. continue to multiply. In O
special dispatch from Cleveland to the
Cincinnati Commercial he says: 1T was
mistake on the part of some congressmep
to confound the emigration of the regular
Chinese TO this country with the advent of
coolies who may be brought under con
tract, and, perhaps, as slaves" He is
willing to make a treaty by which it would
be understood that slaves or coolies are
uot to be landed on our shores; but to
say that any well behaved, law abiding
person should be kept away. when desr-
Gus of coming of his own free will, aside
from the coolio system, would be hard,
and contrary to the intentions Of our
institutions"
This is enough 1t is a virtual admis :
sion of all that is charged against Gen.
Garfield He is in favor of unlimited and
absolutely free immigration of Mong golians,
with one trifiing condition: no slaves or
coolies shall come, He would throw the
doors of the Pacific coast wide open to all
Chinese who do not come as slaves or
coolies, and permit them to flow in upon
us in hordes. displacing American work
ingmen in our factories. foundries, mills
and shops. and substituting the China
rates Of wages for those which now pre-
vail here.
The condition that coolies shall be kept
out is downright nonsense. No slaves or
coolies are brought here. The great mass
of Chinese immigrants who came to our
shores-indeed, it may be said all of them,
come of their own free will, and are about
as we'll behaved and law abiding as the
average of the people. Our workiugmen
do not object that the Chinese are ill be-
haved and lawless; their complaint is that
having no families to support, avoiding
the duties, obligations and privileges of
society and citizenship. resisting assimila-
ton with the general body polite, caring
nothing for our institutions, and coming
only to make money, which they carry
back to their native land. they can easily
afford to work for half the wages that
American workmen require, and thus de-
grade the whole working class to their own
desplcable level. 1t is not slaves or cool
les who do this, but regular Chinese
and Gen, Garfield tells us that he knows
of no way of keeping them out-that to
forbid them would be hard and contrary
to the Intentions OF our institutions" "
Therefore. he would permit them to come
IN countless numbers, even though they
choke up all fields of labor and reduce cit
lzsn workinemen to The Asiatic condition.
