SO With their trade. Their dress, man
ners and mode OF life are Just the same
as they were centuries ago. Have they

whites IN any way improved 10 our msde
of life? II not, where is the advantage
gainedi
Millions OF our money il yearly taken
TO China and recoined into their money,
and that shuts 1t out from the world,
for no nation recognizes Chinese money
at it's par value. The Chinaman comes
here q slave of the Six Companies. and
goes back a rich man. What do We
gain? We have made him happy. Yea,
al the expense of some poor working
girl or woman of our own blood. How
many homes today are destitute on ac-
count of Chinese labor! Yet Mr.. Denny
thinks a Chinaman has the same right
here as a Frenchmap, Italian, German
or jew. Of course, 80 do all the Chinese
think. Mr.. Denny as a posr man and
Mr.. Denny a. q rich man are quite diff
ferent. IL Mr.. Denny and his family
worked their Raiden and run their wash
house themselves, and depended upon
that work for their support, they would
kick as hard as asy one IL they had TO
compete With Chinese labor. IL is quite
different getting $ll50 year for piece
OF ground used as China garden, and
having it rented for five years, from try
ing TO earn a living of of that same
ground at 81 per day. And Mr.. Denny's
idea is held to be good one by all of
the rocks of cash, high above the break
ers Of bard times, and quietly watch
their fellows struggling IN the torrents
beneath.
Also be says nothing is said about
the mighty influx of foreigners through
the Eastern doors of our land" Twenty
years ago Mr.. Denny sat safe in his little
cabin while war waced its wide desola
ton upon our Eastern shores. Was be
or his paltry property protected by the
noble Cbinssel Was he not a happy
man to think that there were So many
dirty foreigners came in to help all true
Americans save the country which rich
men are trying to pollute with the lep
rous scavengers of the Flowery King
dom!
Mr.. Denny says no one must dictate
to him whom be shall hire; yet il / buy
a town lot of Mr.. Denny, he saws shall
never sell spirituous liquors on that lot.
II be has that right, have the other.
IL man is true hearted citizen of
any country, and laws of the land or
social laws are passed with which he
cannot agree, II is much easier for that
ore man to leave the country than it is
for the whole country TO give up to his
selfish wishes, TO the detrinent OF all.
Let these men who want China labor 60
to China, where they belong but for
Gods sake give Us America with men
for our associates, our laborers, and in
time of need-oGr defense.
Let such rich men growl and grumble
at this move, but voice from many a
destitute home IN the East, echoed and
re-echoed from the Rockies and Coast
Range, will soon swell over this land of
ours, and he very streams and trees
shall catch the sound, God bless the
works of the Knights of Labor !" and
years hence its benefit will be seen and
our land be blessed with the presence
of "Js VS., Italians, Germans and French"
and all other true, loyal men. but never
