This same Huntington letter contains
also the following political wisdom:
II hope the matter 1.-THE Chinese re-
striction law will not be allowed to rest
in its present unsatisfactory condition"
So say we all of us. The matter
should never be allowed to rest until it
is impossible for the Chinese to evade
the law, as they do now by perjury and
other frauds. And, in the opinion of
many judicious persons, it should not be
allowed to rest until all those who have
illegally entered the country be first Sc.
verely punished and then sent back to
the land where they desire their bones
to be buried and, along with them, every
American who directly or indirectly has
connived at, or encouraged, their impor-
tation.

THOSE "pRETENDED FEARS"

To me the pretended fears of overrun-
ming our country by Cinnamon seem IN
sincere or ridiculous. T Hunting
tons letter.
No doubt, Mr.. Huntington, the pre-
tended fears" seem to you ridiculous.
You own immense properties extending
over thousands of miles of land and sea;
vour interests reach almost half around
the world, and therefore your own self
love ought to dictate to you a broad and
liberal policy to your fellow countrymen.
But that is not the case. 1t is no dis
credit to GU that you were once tape
measurer in small dry goods store; but,
unfortunately for yourself and the
world, your soul did not survive it. 1t
appears that the rule that, to sell ayard OF
tape at one cent, which cost three.quar.
tiers of cent gives profit. when once
established fully and firmly in your
mind crowded out all other considera-
tions and views of life and that it has
never been replaced by anything in keep
ing with the immense wealth which has
come to you, and which ought to have
brought with it larger and better out
look on the struggles of your fellow
Americans. The transportation lines un-
der your control would do better bust.
ness Just now, if the Chinese restriction
act were wiped off the statute books.
That is enough reason for you. To you,
there is, in that fact, a mighty logic, so
full of force that the reasoning Of Soc
rates or even the clear precepts Of the
Saviour would fall powerless upon your
mind against it. The pretended fears
seem ridiculous" to you who are so
wealthy that you can buy prince ito
please your adopted daughters fancy.
You do not fear that the Chinese labor
ers will compete with you. But are you
aware that you have fellow Americans,
men and women, who work hard from
dawn to dusk for from three to six dol
lars week? Is the pretended fear"
insincere or ridiculous to them! Would
you bring even more ruinous competi.
ton to them-to drive those sovereign
human beings into the poor house or
worse? No doubt you would, if the div.
idends on your transportation compan.
les shares might be made larger. Not
that you need the money-oh no. He
who can buy princes for playthings
doesn't need few dollars very badly
but you wantto increase your power-you
want to be great. But you never will be
great. There never yet was man with.
out soul who became great Yet there
is consolation for you. You will have
one of the elements of greatness, You
will be notorious.
