tred increased prices, thus helping

Auli.Chinese Meeting.
CHICAGO, April lG.-fhe anti-Chinese
.,aatinr at Seainen's Hall last evening
-.s great success in point Of attend
80 and enthusiasm. All the seats
vsre occupied. 1t was the first of a
~r;es to be held under the auspices of
=. Trades Assembly, who hope to create
hms a public sentiment which shall
srread over the country, and bring
.hou. n re-enactinent of the bill. Mayor
Harrison presided. The tradesmen
srsssnt were called to order by Mr.
Rocsrs, President of the Assembly.
Nsyor Harrison was chosen Chairman.
His Honor, who was warmly greeted,
MD be had not prepared a speeoh, but
the subject was ono to which he had
s;ven much thought. When the 'news
same from Washington that the Presi-
deat had vetoed the bill restricting
Chinese immigration, there was feel
ine Of pain in the hearts of nine -tenths of
ne people west Of the Alleghanies, and
fboussnds east Of those mountains, and
thsrs was Indignation on the part of
millions, especially in California, where
IL Chinese were curse and nuisance.
IApplauss.l Hayes blundered, but Ar
thur went deeper into the question, and
I'll called on to eulogizs tho Chinese,
md 70 applaud them. The Chinese do
not work for our benefit alone, bu. ON
aapount Of their greed for gold, which
~ don't spend hsre but take to China
sith them to enjoy. They (the work
n1n) did not intend to say anything of
sparty nature, but it behooved him to
nmark that the party behind Arthur is
1esling that he has committed terri
y blunder, and was doing its level
hsst TO correct it. fApplause.] Demo
sgats had not sunk enough in folly to
sttsmpt to check the passage Of re-
sfietive Chinese bill. Tho question
N whether we were to allow that vast
his Of humanity, 400, ,000, 600 of people,
tosae here. William HALEY, of Sac
s1esato, was the next speaker. He be-
m BY saying the better class of news
papers Of the vest were with them on
he question, mentioning the Chicago
Tribune. He had lived in California for
sight years, and he told what tho Chi
nsss were 10 that State. The Burlin-
eams treaty, which was responsible for
their coming, was a dclusion; the Chi
nsse caring nothing for it as was antici-
pated. Morally, socially, physically
and politically we do not need tho Chi
ness. They were disappointment in
California, and arc not desirable neigh
bors. They were simply imitators, or
iginating nothing. They did not pro-
gress. On the contrary they have been
going backward for 200 or 250 years. He
wanted to see monopolists 60. [Chcers.]
Lsland Stanford and other pluaderers
had turned California into moral and
physical desert. they having no SYM
pathy with the feeling and hopes Of white
vorkinamen. Referring to tho veto, he
said the Presidents reasons were very
weak. Monopolists and their hireling
preachers telssrophsd him to do it.
Ihsss men were in league against the
peoducing GLASSES Of the country, and it
~ time there was change. Cap
planse.) No people ever stood as much
nthose Of California, having the rom
edy in their own hands. He did not
mink the President should have vetoed
everything indiscriminately, aud es-
recially whom the will Of the people was
DISTINCTLY expressed and clearly under
sood upon any measure. (Applause.)
Ins President had no right to say that
- Pacific Coast should be the slop pail
NJ Asia, preventing the development OF
u country. California might be not
eniy the pride Of tho United States but
q the whole world. The following was
ADOPTED:
WHEREAS, there is a radical dis:inc-
uoo IN tho race, civilization and man.
- Of life between the American native
snd the Chinese, who come to the
United States merely to make money,
pend next TO nothing, and to take
MAY with them all their savings on a
