10 the President Officers and Members of the
harley Anti Chinese League:
We, your committee, appointed to
visit the Chinese residing in HALEY,
and notify them of the resolutions
adopted at the January meeting of
the League, beg leave to report as
follows:
We visited the various Chinese re-
sorts and places of business on Feb
ruary End, and notified them that the
citizens of Haley had determined to
rid themselves of their presence.
That they would have until the 1st
day OF May, 1886, to close up their
business affairs and depart, never
more to return.
That it was the intention of the
citizens until that time to protect
them in their person and property,
but that they must not attempt to
make any business arrangements, or
form any business connections that
would necessitate their remaining
after that time.
That the LIST day of May, 1886,
was the utmost limit of their stay
amongst US, and that it was expected
that the setting of the sun of that day
would see HALEY forever free of their
presence.
We believe the natural caution OF
the Chinese will compel them not to
disregard the warning given them,
and it is the firm belief of your com.
mittee that the work sought to be
accomplished by the League will be
brought about quietly and peaceablv
and in the spirit manifested in the
resolutions adopted at the last meet.

regard to the Chinese; all who ha
been brought in contact with them fo
any length of time, all people of al
classes, were united in the belief tina
they will have to 60. They will hav
to go in order that the Caucasia
might stay, as the two races could no
live side by side. The white ma
could not compete with Senate
Hoar's little brown man in any ave
cation, trade or calling. To be sure
as yet, the white laborer suffer, d mos
from his competition; but if permit
ted to increase in our midst the pre-
LESSONS would soon suffer to as grea
an extent as the laborers did. Blu
these men are protected by the Bu'
linRame treaty and laws of the Unite
States. How, then, can we get rid c
them, peacefully and lawfully? B
