THE CHINESE I'M RENO.
Remarks that Also Apply to Car
son City.

The anti-Chinese movement is
gaining ground in Reno. The ga
zette has the following sensible re-
marks:
There is at least $4,000 month
paid to Cinnamon in Reno, all of
which is taken right out OF the
channels of trade and never gets
back. This is a matter OF interest
not only to the men who are idle
from a lack of opportunity to labor;
to the families with boys who will
walk the streets if the avenues of
trade are closed; to the young wo-
men willing to do homework; but
to the business firms WHO now get
no share of all this money. If white
men and ,women are earning this
money 1t would circulate in Reno
over and oyer and over again, every
dollar of it paying several dollars of
debts each month, and in a years
time there would be a difference Of
$4,000 in the circulating medium
Of Reno. Imagine the difference
it would make. 1t would go for
rents, for dry goods, for clothing,
for groceries and for the thousand
things our civilization makes nee
essary, instead of all being sent
away to keep our circulating med
ium down to the lowest possible
cent.
We do not regard the inconven-
fence at all. When compared with
the benefits to be derived, the tenn
porary Inconvenience of changing
to white help is not to be considered.
Arrangements are being made for a
steam laundry and those who have
Chinese domestics will be able to
replace them very easily. If there
is not help now there will be plenty
soon for times arc hard and there
are a great many IDLE people on the
Coast and East who will be glad to
work for reasonable wages. In ad-
dition to that. labor will be made
respectable and many young women
and men growing up among US will
take hold and work.

In no year since the formation of
the State Government was there
such deep meaning and general
anti-Chinese movements in Califor-
MIA as in the year 1885. Yet in that
period, in the face of a sentiment
almost unanimous against Chinese
immigration. Without reasonable
restriction, our exports to China ex-
coed those of the year 1894 by ST.
425 ,5o6. Yet we have been indus
triously piled with the argument
that California antagonism to Chi
nese systems of civilization effects
our trade relations with China. The
truth is, that China will, as will any
other country with any sort OF indie
pendence, buy where she can buy
to best advantage, and her mer-
chants do not care straw whether
their countrymen are excluded from
residence in the country Of a desir-
able market or ot.-Record Union.
