vote away our liberties? The bad China
man who does not vote is far less dangerous
than the bad IriShman, German, Frenchman, or
SDaniard who does vote. The unreasonable talk
about the Chinaman should have no considera-
ton with reasonable men. Those who denounce
him will steal his earnings and then imprison him
for resisting the robber. The worst classes of
Europe come here and strive to appropriate all we
have and to rule the country. 1t is time to look
to that element and TO put check upon 1t,
rather than to be beating the air about Cinnamon.

They will live and improve the country where the
European and American will starve and accom-

"haythen." Because the great government of
England is fettered by an entailed land monopoly
that is curse to her people; because Russia or
Germany suffers from oppressive laws; because
France Spain, and Italy are prieSt-ridden and
hide bound by ancient customs, We Stop over

This class is strongly allied to the party that de-

naturally enough, these are Democrats almost
without exception, which is another example of
