HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,
Washington, D. c., Jan. %.
188O.-Dear Sir: Yours, in rela-
ton to the Chinese problem.
came duly to hand. I take il
that the question of employees is
only a question of private and
corporate economy, and individ-
uals or companies have the
right to buy labor where they
can get it cheapest. We have a
treaty with the Chinese govern
ment which should be re1igiously
kept until its provisions are alb
rogated by the action of the
general government, and I am
not prepared to. say that it
should be abrogated until our
great manufacturing interests
are conserved in the matter of
labor.
Very truly yours,
J. A. GARFIELD.

people were present. Speeches were made
by Col. Holloway. candidate for Congress,
in the afternoon, and j. T. Kenworthy,

the evening. The audience IN the evening
was fully 5000 and very enthusiastic. a
feature of the meeting Was the torchlght
procession. in which over 100 ladies car
ried torches and marched to the music of
fife and drum. Colored lights, fireworks,
etc. we're displayed all along the line. and
cheers greeted the procession everywhere.
Ii was a regular old fashioned rally and
done much good for the cause.
Mr.. Kenworthy's speech was pro-
nouncad by all as a scholarly effort
and while free from abuse, provoked
loud applause. Whenever Trumbull or
Hancock was mentioned. the audience
went wild with enthusiasm. No such
meeting has ever been held in Aledo in the

as it was. vas not more enthusiastic than
the Hancock and Trambull rally last
