House OF REPRESENTATIVES,. }
WASHINGTON, D. c.,
January %, 1880.
To H. L. Morev, President of En-
ployers' Union, Lynn, Mass:
DEAR SIR-Yours in relation to
the Chinese Problem came duly to
hand.
l take it that the question of en-
ployees is only a question of private
and corporate economy, and indi-
viduals or companies have the right
to BUY LABOR where they can
get it CHEAPEST.
We have treaty with the Chi
nrse Government which should be
religiopsly kept until its provisions
are ahrogated by the action of the
general government. and 1 am not
prepared to say that it should be
abrogated UNTIL OUR GREAT MANU-
INTERESTS ARE CONSERVED
IN THE MATTER OF LABOR.
Very truly yours.
J. 4. GARFIELD.

the State. They don't know KEEL

Before the next issuo of the FAR
MER is printed the Presidential con-
test will he ended-ar least SO far
as the coming election can have
any influence. The late elections
III Ohio and Indiana are claimed as
victories for Garfield. We do not
think SO. It Is true that GarGeld's
Congressional District gave its full
Republican vote. say $4,000 major
lty. When V ting for Garfield,
tins district has given him less than
1000 majority. Will the Republi-
cans of his district, who since his
dabbllng with the Credit Mobilier
and Salary Grab. have refused to
vote for him for Congress, now
come up and vote for him for Presi-
dent? They vote the Republican
ticket. but not for Garfield So it
will be over the country generally.
Many independent Republicans will
refuse to vote for Presidential cau-
,lt.ate whose record is So disreputa-
BILE. I'm this State, we haye no
doubt tue eutire Democratic ticket
will succeed. There is not the
of II chance for the success
of amy Radical candidate in the |
State. We believe Hancock will be |
triumphantly elected, and in that
belief wepatsntiy await the victory.
