The true northerner., 1882-04-14

In the first place to make shorter experiment,
with the view hereafter OF maintsiping perma-
nently only such features as time aud experience
may commend
transmit herewith copies Of papers relating
to the recent treaty, which accompanied the
confidential message OF President Hayes TO the
Senate on the 10th Of January, 1881, and also
herewith returned, which was handed TO tho
Secretary OF State by the Chinese Minister In
Washington. CHESTER A. ARTHUR.
EXECUTIVE MANSION, wAsMsoros, April 4, 1854
OBJECTIONS SUMMARIZED PRESIDENTS
NOTES.
Following are the memoranda attached to tho
veto message:
/. The time fixed in the bill, namely, twenty
years, is unreasonable. The language OF
Article l, that "laborers" shall not be abso-
lutely prohibited from coming to the United
States, and that, Suspension shall be reason
abe," as well as the negotiations, indicate
that brief period was intended. total pro-
hibition OF the immigration Of Chinese labor
ers into the United States for twenty years
would, in my opinion, be unreasonable and
a violation OF the meaning and intent Of the
treaty.
q The inclusion Of "skiiled labor" in the
bill is an addition to the words and intent Of
the treaty. 1t will operate with harshness
upon the class Of Chinese merchants entitled
to admission to the United States under the
terms OF the treaty. The shoe merchants
and cigar merchants Of China manufacture
the goods they sell at their places Of busi-
ness, and to shut out "skilled labor" would
practically shut them out az we'll since 1t would
prevent them from carrying on their business
in this country. A laundryman who keeps his
shop and has small capital with which to pros
ecute his trade cannot In any lust sense be
termed "laborer." and the merchant tailor
comes in the same category.
g. The clauses of the Till relating to rcgistra-
tion and passports are vexatIous discrimination
against Chinese residents and immigratons,
when article provides explicitly that they
shall be entitled to all privileges conceded to
the subjects OF the most favored nation. The
execution Of these provisions Of the bill will
cause irritation, and, in case Of loss Of pass
port or certificate OF registration, Chinese res
idents entitled to remain may be forcibly ex-
PEELED from the country.
4. II the bill becomes q law 1t will leave an
impression in China and its Government of the
strangely misunderstood character of the
treaty, or that Congress has violated some Of
its provisions, and this will tend to prejudice
the intelligent classes against the United States
Government and the people, whom they now
greatly admire and respect.
8. There is no provision in the bill for
transit across the United States OF Chinese
subjects now residing in foreign countries.
Large numbers Of Chinese live in Cuba,
Peru, and other countries, who cannot re-
turn home without crossing the territory of
the United States or touching at San Fran
cisco. To deny this privilege, it seems to
me, is the violation OF international law and
the comfy Of nations, and, il the bill becomes
law it will in this respect result in great hard
ship to many thousands Of innocent Chinese in
foreign countries.

Act Well Your Part.

Whoever hesitates to utter that Which
he thinks the highest truth, lest it should
be too much in advance of the time,
may reassure himself by looking at his
acts from an impersonal point of view.
Let him only realize the fact that opin-
ion is the agency through which char
acter adapts external arrangements to
itself-that is q unit of force, constitut-
ing, with ether such units, the general
power which works out social changes !;
and he will perceive that he may prop
erly give full utterance to his innermost
convictions leaving it to produce what
effect it may.
1t is not for nothing that he has in
those sympathies with some principles
and repugnance to others. He, with all
his capacities, and aspirations, and be-
liefs is not an accident, but product Of
the time.
He must remember that while he is a
descendant of the past, he is a parent of
the future, and that his thoughts are as
children born to him, which he may
not carelessly let die. He, like every
other man, may properly consider him
self as one of the myriad agencies
through whom works the unknown
cause; and when the unknown cause
produces in him a certain belief, he is
thereby authorized to profess and act
out that belief. For, to render, in their
highest sense, the words of the past:
Mature is made by no means,
But nature makes that mean; over that art
Which you say adds to nature, is an art
That nature makes"
Not as adventitious, therefore, will
the wise man regard the faith which il
in him. The highest truth he sees he
will fearlessly utter, knowing that, let
what may come of it, he is thus playing
his right part in the world-knowing
that if he can effect the part he aims al
well If not-well also though not &C
well. .-Herbert Spencer.

A RECENT letter from East Saginaw
reports that salt is selling actively ut 10
cents barrel, decline of 45 cents n
barrel from the price at the commence
ment of the year. Large stocks are on
hand, and the cutt ng of prices by out
siders is the cause for the decline. A
month ago it was estimated that there
we're over 800, 900 barrels of old salt on
hand, but it has, since the decline in
prices, moved freely, and the impression
is that there will be slight advance in
price within the next sixty days. Man
ufacturers, however, expect season OF
cheap salt. The works are being put in
shape for the seasons operations, and a
number are now manufacturing. A
dozen or more new blocks have been
erected during the winter at various
points in the district.

The Spanialds visiting Canada pre-
vious to the French, and finding no gold
or silver, which they were in search of,
often said among themselves, "Aca ada"
-"there is nothing here" The Indians
learned this sentence and its meaning.
When the French arrived, the Indians.
supposing they had come for treasures,
repeated to them the Spanish sentence.
The French supposed this incessantly-
recurring sound was the name of the
country, and gave it the name of Cam
ada" which name it has since borne.

THE Mississippi bubble" was the

by John Law, Scotchman. 1t was SO
called because the protector was to have

rated 1717, failed 1720. The debt was
G2O8, ,OOO, 900 sterling. Law made him
self sole creditor of this debt, and was
allowed to issue ten times the amount

this paper currency. Immediately the
paper money was at discount, a run on
the bank set in, and the whole scheme
burst.
