l pity the poor heather Chinese, but
l feel for the American people more.
John is trying to benefit his own condi-
ton and that is not blameworthy. The
causes that have reduced him to slavery
are at work to place us in asimilar sordld
condition, and even now we are but lit
tie better than our slant-eYed brother.
Our misfortune is that we cannot live on
rice and rats, with an occasional feast
upon chicken.
The Chinaman, like ourselves, is used
as a machine IN the hands of the mon
opolists to- increase their wealth, the
Monaghan machine being preferred by
the capitalist as there is great. saving
of oil and tallow, for the same reason
our city aristocracy prefer John to our
wives and widows; for more reasons
than one; because he can do his work
cheaper and at the same time rent those
old novels all over the city that org mt to
have been burnt down some time ago
and not have been spared to become
harbors to breed filth and disease in all
parts of the city.
AS workingmen we have no quarrel
with the poor heather, for he is a
brother in adversif Ike ourselves; but
for the man who Imports and employs
these foreigners, because he can use
them as an instrument of exploitation, l
have, and every other honest man
should have, the most bitter contempt
And those professed Christian philan-
thropists who want them brought here
to learn western Christianity, willie
poor women living within the sha lie OF
these temples of Mammon are being
forced into prostitution for morsel OF
bread by being placed in competition
with this cheap labor. Shame on such
pretenses before nigh heaven. Well did
Christ say of such: "Woe unto you
make one proselyte, and ye make him
twofold more the child of hell than your
selves"
The poor heather Chinee was much
better Christian and nearer to heaven
before he came here than he will be on
his return, after being indoctrinated
with western ideas of the religion of to.
day. Ye capitalistic Anarchists who
set every mans hand against his
brother man in this struggle for life,
"He have laid up for yourselves treas
ures in the last days, your gold and your
silver is rusted, and their rust shall be
as witness against you, and shall eat
your flesh as fire."
What is to be gained by turning your
oH n people adrift as tramps and pau
pers and employing Cinnamon? Do
they buy and use more of your produc.
tions than your own people2 Is it for
the benefit of your country that your
own people be driven out and foreigners
employed Will it be for the better
menU of your institutions? Will they
fight your battles in case of war? Oh
shame on Americans that will sacrifice
honor, kindred and everything in this
mad competition and greed for gold.
Where are the Patriotic Sons of America
in this struggle against foreign invasion 4?
1t is idle to say that there is no danger
as this foreign foe does not vote. Let
them come in sufficient numbers and
you will have to retreat as did the proud
Romans before the Huns and Goths.
1t is much easier to keep an enemy
out of your land than it Is to turn him
out when once in, or to assimilate him
to your institutions. You may assim1-
late the Asiatic race, but the Mongolian
never.
Brother orkers, this is your fight; it
is your bread that is in danger; vote for
no man who uses the Mongolian ma
chine to increase his wealth; stand to-
gether like men and be strong.
