BONDS AND JAPS.
Dennis Keamey Is On the War Path
Again.
He Denounces With His Old Time
Yigor the Bondholders and
Japanese.

DenhlS heafney, the Well-knoWn agl-
tator, who won fame years ago on the
sand LOTT in San Francisco, has buckled
on his armor again after long rest.
Dennis slogan used to be 1.-THE Chinese
must CO." The Exclusion Act and other
chinese legislation quieted him, but now
he is out with a new one. This time he
says the Japs must go. He has been
making speeches of late in San Francisco,
and last night he spoke from dry goods
box at Fourth and K streets in this city.
A very large crowd gathered about the
orator, blocking Fourth street. They
heard him all through and frequently APP
plauded him. Kearney speaks with his
old-time vigor and has lost none of his
ability to denounce people and things he
does not like.
KEARNEY'S REMARKS.
He opened his speech by saying that
although he had only been in town few
hours many old-time acquaintances had
called upon him and thanked him Tor the
stand he had taken against Japanese i'm
migration. This speech he was making,
be said, was the twenty ninth one he had
made on the subject. Twenty eight of
these speeches were made in different
parts of San Francisco.
"a great many of you remember the little
handful of men that met here way back
in 1877, and organized branch of the
Workingmen's party of California, the
principal plank of whose platform was
the stopping Of Chinese Immigration.
Our warcry was, The Chinese Must

two years later Congress passed the

by President Hayes. Three years later,
that is to say in 1882, the first Restriction
Act was passed. Applause. In 1884 it
was amended so as TO plug up some holes
that were made in it by the man dealers
through the courts. In 1888 a total ex-
clusion bill was passed, and last March
Congress re-enacted the Scott exclusion
bill, with an amendment that all the Chi
nese now in the United States shall be
tagged to prevent their being struggled
across the border from Mexico and Can
ada.
This little bit of important political
history is mentioned here tonight just
to show you what the little handful of
men who met on the sand lots of San
Francisco. fifteen years ago, accom-
plished. We forced this Government of

man notion we also ridiculed, and to-
.ay we find armed bodies of United States
Jflicers patroling our borders to prevent
the Canton man dealers from smuggling
any of their slaves into our country.
The absentee money-lenders-the

the bars against the importation of
slave laborers. High interest can only
be paid by slave laborers. So these
foreign Shylocks are rushing in another
brand Of AsiaJic slaves to fill up the gap
made vacant by the Chinese who are shut
out by our laws.
The prejudices raised against the China
man on account of his tail and wearing
his shirt outside mis- breeches are re-
moved in the case of the Jap. Poverty
IN his own country compels him to go
naked, but when he touches our shores
the man-dealerS put an American suit of
clothes on his back so as to make him
look like an American, which he does in
dress only. Japan proper has about
d, 000, 600 people; in territory it is about
che size of our State. There are no
horses, wagons nor wagon-roads in that
country. There is no room for either.
The Japs play horse and mule. They

women at the age of 10 years get license
from their Government to follow the
calling of those unfortunates in our coun-
try which charity and shame alike forbid
my mentioning. There is no such thing
as virtue in Japan. The men and women
of that country are as free to mingle to-
gether as are the beasts of the field.
These men are being brought here now
IN COUNTLESS NUMBERS
To demoralize and disorganize our
domestic labor market and to be educated
in our public schools at our expense We
are taxing ourselves to educate the
golden youth of Japan. We are paying
out money for the purpose of allowing
fully developed men who know no morals
but vice TO Esit beside our sons and our
daughters in our public schools that they
may help to debauch, demoralize and
teach them the vices which is the custom

dangerous, and will be harder to stop be-
cause of their American dress. We must
shut them out before they get their six

then find it much harder work TO pass a
law against their coming than il will be
by making the issue right now.

two years TO bring this Japanese issue be-
