Chinaman makes it. Ready-made cloth
ing is cheap the Chinaman makes it.
Cigars are cheap the Chinaman makes
them. Tinware is very cheap the Chi
naman makes it. Is San Francisco pros
porous? Is California prosperous? Cal
ifornia is the only State in all the Union
that shows decrease of population and
prosperity in the last two years. San
Francisco is the only great city in the
Union that has reduced its capital, busi-
ness and population since 1876. What is
the trouble? HiS the result of a degraded
and pauperized labor. The CbinanGn, ura-
der the ca8t-irOn habits of 5000 gears Of er-
perience IN famine and starvation, can work
and hUe IN a fashion that the aObite IabOrer
can not do, and | Hope to God he may neUer
be called upon to do. He can live on rats
and the white laborer cannot. He pays
nothing for education and the white la
borer does. The white laborer has a
house and the Chinaman has none. With
all these advantages in his favor, if a
white man completes with him he must
accept the conditions ofthe competition.
He must live and breathe and move and
have his being as his competitor lives
and moves and has his being"
And let it be noted, James A. Garfield,
the Republican candidate for the Presi
dency, distinctly declares, Over has OlOn sag.
nature, that manufacturers must substitute
CHINESE labOr-.for american labor. Storrs
shows how the thing works on the Paci-
fic Coast.
5000 CHINAMEN CUTTING LOGS,
Here is an item for workingmen to
consider. The Virginia (Nevada) Chron-
icle says;
"Messrs. N. Smart & Sons have taken
a contract from Yerington, Bliss & Co. to
cut and deliver in the Little Truckee, to
be taken thence to Lake Bigler, 100000
600 feet of logs the contract to be fin
ished in two years and 100000 feet to
be delivered by May next. The contract
price is So per thousand feet. The con-
tractors dispatched ten men to the scene
of operations yesterday morning. A few
years ago there were 1000 white men en-
gagged in cutting timber on the noun
tains around Lake Bigler, and they were
all making livings for their families.
NoU there are 5000 Chinese cutting timber
under contracts Sublet 10 three companies by
the 1Uhite men Who take the contracts from
YERINGToN, BLISS & Co. and there are Uery
fen aUhite men at lUOrk around the lake. The
Chinese cut the aUOOd for 81 per cord less than
the aDhite men demand, and they haze driUen
White labor almost entirely aoUay."
Driven white labor almost entirely
away" That is just what Garfield advo.
Gates in his letter to the Employers
Union Chinese immigration, he says,
must on no account be disturbed until
all employers are well supplied with this
pauper Chinese labor. The situation
around Lake Bigler is one which Gar
field would, of course, like to see repeat
ed all over the country Yet the Repub-
lican organs say Garfield is such devot-
ed friend of the American laboring man.

WHAT THEY SAY IN NEW YORK.
New YORK, October 23.-The Garfield
Chinese letter is the one topic in political
circles. Truth, in which it was published
originally; promised to prove that it was
found among Morey's effects by produc-
ing the man who found it there. The
Democrats who have been investigating
say that they can establish that Morey
lived in Lynn, and that the Employers
Union was organized there after the
strike of 1878, and for the purpose of de-
creasing the price of labor. The Nation
al Committee telegraphed the text of
it to every State Committee, and have
had it published broadcast all over the
country-had it photographed, and have
procured several thousand electro plates
of it. These are now being forwarded to
every leading Democratic and independ-
ent paper in the country and they will
be scattered all over the Pacific Slope.
They think it will insure New York,
New Jersey, Connecticut, California and
possibly Pennsylvania and Indiana.
A leading Jersey Democrat to-day said
that this letter had put new set of back
bones of the stiffest kind in his people,
and the shrewdest men now felt certain
that they would not only sweep the
State for Hancock, English and Ludlow,
but would carry the Legislature, which
elects a United States Senator, and
would make several gains of Congress-
men from all parts of the Union The
news comes that Garfeld's Chinese let
ter has caused a perfect revolution in
public sentiment, and that the Hancock
tide is now rising steadily,
