MORE ABOUT THE M0REy LETTER.

II there was any doubt as to the ger

OF Gaifield's Congressional record on the
Chinese question, would instantly dis
pei it. His career has been uniformly
in favor Of unlimited Moneolian immi-

measures looking to the relief OF the
laborer by providing s'me means for
freeing the country Of the pig.tailed rat
eaters who crowd every vessel which
crosses the Pacific, and who are already
found in every town and village
throughout the land. The fact OF the
matter is that the sentiments expressed
in the letter, and the sentiments Gar
field has repeatedly expressed on the
floor of the House are identical; they
eminate from one and the same person,
and his weak attempt at denial, read,
in the light OF the annexed telegram
from Washington, will only provoke a

a magnificent chance to put himself upon

And Here is How He Improved 1t,

Mr.. Garfield make the point Of or

1t will thus be seen, despite the
declaration that the Chinese were crowd
