with the fact that in . country Of 50,
OOO.OOO inhabitants there are less than

denounced with cOwardice because w

that all the States and Territories now
afflicted with the presence Of Chinese
contain something like l, jOO, 900 people ?
The Chinese will not seek competition
with the large population east Of the
Rocky Mountains 10 long US they can

they can become an Inconvenience tn

lies use them as domestic servants, when
it is y recognized fact that they are cIm-

UNPARALLELED REPUBLICAN, TsEAcH-
cry.
Republican Senators, by a series Of
treslcheru,s acts unparalleled for their
lxaseness, have ~ far refused to extend
to u any relief. The Republican Presi-
dents have interIUSed the executive
veto between the deliberate legislation
Of Congress aud the people Of this Oast.
Both political parties in national con-
vcnt,On have resolved that Chinese i'm
migration should he arrested. Party
resolutions and Congressional legtsIa-
ton have demonstrated who our enc
mics are. We know from what source
the opposition comes. All the Senators,
save one, from six New England States
are against US. The merchants and
n,oneyed men Of New York are against
us. The Eastern clergy are for the most
part against Us. Every railroad
millionaire in the East Is against US.
Every Republican in the Senate Of the
United states who represents corporate
wealth rs in opposition to III. Under
this continuing opposition, and In the
absence Of restrictive legislation, the
city Of San Francisco IL going to the
dogs. Property values decline, and
business interests are being destroyed.

business Of the East; that we should
ZEE steam lines pouring out upon our
shores great and profitable commerce,
and that In that TINA San Francisco
would have one million Of inhabitants.
Half the time has passed. The railroads
have been built, the steam lines are e.
tablislled, and San Francisco has fewer
white inhabitants than on the day Of
the prophecy. The steam lines bring
their Asiatic slaves; oil kinds Of bust
ness languishes the death rattle b In
