Favorins Chinese Cheap Labor.
NEW YORK, Nov. 15.-The Hoyald has
the following editorial: Our special
dispatch from San Francisco reports a
demagogical attempt of the Collector
of that port to exclude all Cinnamon
from landing there, whether they are
IN erchants or laborers: but Judge Hoff-
man is not demagogue, and when the
case was brought before the u. 5. Dis
trict Court, the Collector was frustrated
and rebuked as he deserved to be. How
eyer, the fact that the chief of the fed
eral revenue service on the Pacific coast
should volunteer to put q construction
of his own upon the Chinese immigra-
ton statute with the design of increas-
ing its stringency Is significant of the
spirit of the community to which he
pandered. Being politician, he pro-
baby counts the rebuke of the court as
of slight moment in comparison with
the increase of popularity he has gained
among the hoOdlums. 1t deserves re-
mark that the Chinese question is rap
idly approaching new phase, OF which
New York merchants will do we'll to
take timely warning. Pacific coast pol
iticians have b1lldozed the Federal
Government so successfully in the mat
ter of Chinese immigration, that they
are working themselves up to demand
supplementary legislation of a prOhibi-
tory character at "a no distant day IN the
matter of Chinese imports. They asked
Congress to forbid the coming of Chi
nese labor into 80 States III order to
protect three of them-CalifOrnia, Ne
vada and Oregon, whose united popula-
ton is less than that of this city-from
its competition on American soil, and
Congress yielded to the request and has
shut Chinese laborers out of New York
because they are unwelcOme in San
Francisco. Now they are growing fear
full that the excluded Cinnamon will
soon become successful competitors,
although restricted to working ON Ash
attic soil, and accordingly they are pro.
posing to petition Congress further to
shut Chinese manufacturers out of the
whole country, New York included.
San Francisco newspapers are looking
forward to the time when Cinnamon at
home will manufacture for themselves,
and SO cheap that they not only can sup
ply their own markets, but ours as well,
unless Congress comes to the rescue
with protective customs duties which
will eclipse the most extraordinary pro-
visions of the present tariff.
