The Chinese Reaction.

mOdlhcatlOn OF the Geary ACT can
scarcely be considered with patience.
1t is urged along mostly by a lot of
cranks who have no knowledge
whatever of the facts of the case.
The coldbloodedness with which
they are willing to consign the Paci-
fic States to Mongolization is duly
appreciated in this part of the coun-
try. 1t must be regarded as an evi
dence of the peculiar sort of broth
erly love which is found occasion
ally at the East.
The sympathies of these pseudo
philanthropists always cluster
around some distant race of barba-
rians, and the lower they are in the
scale of humanity and the more de-
based they are in their habits the
more earnestly they plead for them,
at the expense of civilization. With
all this gush for the Asiatic, who is
now the object of their most earnest
solicitation, they have no bowels of
compassion whatever for their own
race, people and fellow-citizens.
They have always to travel abroad
for the dearest objects of their love.
The popularity of their conduct is
mostly traceable to their method of
reasoning. These snivelers as rule
know everything intuitively. They
disdain any real examination of the
facts before coming to an opinion
AS might naturally be expected,
these impressionable people easily
fell prey to the man-dealers, who
are using whatever is really credita,
BILE in their views to the promotion
of the vilest purposes. The devout
among them, with their wide-open
mouths, instead of doing anything
to promote the cause of humanity
by espousing the cause of the Chi.

the introduction of modified form,
of that labor system, which used tc
go by the name of the "sum of al
villainies," and upon which, we are
bound to assume, they once waxec
eloquent.
The Chinese laborers imported
into this country come under con
tracts to labor and service for lons
periods, and the Six Companies SCI
to it that they do not get out til
their contracts have been fulfilled
} This trade in men is supplemented
by the vilest traffic in women know
in the history of the world. 1t is O
such a character that it cannot b
