HARRISON'S CHINESE RECORD.
a Clear. Honest and Accurate Review of 1t by
Hon. John ID. Long. of Massachusetts,.

The Boston Daily Globe deserves o good deal
of credit for its enterprise in securing from ex-
Gov. John d. Long q clear, truthful and nom
partisan statement In relation to General
Harrison's record on the Chinese question.
Is 10 printed in full below, and should be read
by every fair minded wage-earner in the coun-
try.
Harrison, when Senator, voted 10 1882
against what was called the Page bill. 1t was o
bill which. as he and many other sound lawyers
believed, violated the provisions Of the treaty
then existing between the United States and
China, and there was, therefore. no other way
In which be could honestly vote. being q states
mar and not a demsgogue.
but as 20 excluding the Chinese and stopping
the outrageous system by which they were
dumped upon the Pacific coast, he was in favor
of accomplishing that object in the only way
possible-by some bill that should be in har-
mony with existing treaty obligations, or by
making q new treaty that would insure exclu-
sion. In fact. the Page measure, after it be-
came law, was found to be Intellectual, and fur
Their legislation was necessary. A bill was
therefore introduced two or three years ago, in
the Forty ninth Congress, by Mr.. Morrow in the
House. and by Senator Fair In the Senate. In
the latter it was referred TO the Senate commit
tee on foreign relations, Of which Senator Har-
r1son was a member.
at was q vigorous bill, carefully prepared by
members or Congress representing the Pacific
slope, and approved by United States officials
who were familiar with the difficulties of en-
forcing Chinese exclusion. 1t was drawn by
Mr.. Morrow. who had been assistant United
States district attorney. and it was an advance
on a1y previous legislation. The Senate COM
mittee unanimously reported IL back favorably,
and IL passed the Senate with no dissenting
vote. Senator Harrison, therefore, voting for il,
although Senator Hoar. it should in justice TO
his position be said, opposed it in debate.
1T is said that in 1882 Harrison voted against
an amendment Of Senator Farley providing that
no court should admit Chinese TO citizenship.
But. as Senator Edmunds then pointed out, our
naturalization laws already forbade Chinese
naturalization. Ii had been so decided in the
courts. Senator Edmunds therefore proposed a
substitute for Farley's amendment, as follows:
Nothing IN this act shall be construed to change
the existing naturalization laws 30 as to admit
Chinese persons to citizenship Senator Harri-
son preferred the Edmunds amendment to tina
Farley amendment. as any sensible man well
might, and voted for the former, which fully
covered the very point sought for in the anti
Chinese interest

The desperate and unfair methods pursued by

10 more likely TO be benefited than damaged by
the savage and untruthfnl attacks of the vicious
hyenas who have pursued him with relentless
bitterness ever since he has been in public life,
and moro especially since his nomination at the
Chicago convention. Since that time he has
made scores of speeches. brief. appropriate and
suggestive, and in the very first. We believe. he
counseled a campaign upon principle and dis
couraged offensive personalities. The policy he
then outlined has been religiously adhered to,

there is not an unkind word directed at any
Democrat, nor so much as an ill-natured allus-

The Mills bill Is Southern and English in its
every phase. Almost everything raised or man
ufacturei in the South 10 protected; and almost
every exclusively Northern product, like wool or
salt. is put on the free list. The duty on cotton
Is not made very much lower. because cotton is
largely manufactured in the South, but the duty
on carpets is lowered from about 60 per cent al
vAlorem to 30 per cent ad valorem. because the
South does no. make CARPETS, but England does.
IL the disloyalty of the Democrats party had
been put to the most trying tests, it's disloyalty
could not be possibly proved more clearly than
IL has been proved by the passing OF the Mills
bill in its present shape. fhe Mills bill is only
the forerunner of that free trade with America
which is the hearts desire OF England, and
which Grover Cleveland and her other Demo-
cratic alles seem determined she shall attain.
