Same Facts Atout ihe Chinese.

p,of + W. Gillian. who has made a
.mnrebensivo study Of the "Chinese
o,a.,ion contributes an article to re-
:, number of the North American
Review.
Singapore is the distributing point. -
late as 1871 that city contained only
few Chinese, the population being
.,ieay Malays. But already Singapore
h. nearly hundred thousand Chinese,
and is second Canton. In twenty six
Gears 100000 have entered Chill and
p.ru. There are 10000 in Cuba.-
They are pressing into the Sandwich
I.,Dds Fly thousand have gone to
Australia and VIC have 10000 San
Francisco.
In China a man receives for days
cork from ten to sixteen cents. In CAL
iforbia he receives from three to FIVE
d,llars
Prof. Gillian very naturally concludes
that the possible inflow from popula-
lion Of $50 900, 000-a third Of the
worlds inhabitants something ap-
pslliug
An American manufacture employs
Chinese workmen at low rates. Other
manufacturers are compelled to do the
same. Presently rich Cinnamon appear
who buy out the manufacturers, and the
entire business becomes Chinese"
Prof Gillian finds that the Chinese, as
a whole, are a good people. But "the
upon California has been
vile" The picture that he paints of
"Cbinatown"--its filth, its gambling,
its prostitution and general vice-is hor-
rible. 1t is also true.
