FAIR PLAY FOR JOHN CHINAMAN.
Vigorous Appeal by the Rev. Madison C.

Vigorous Appeal by the Rev. Madison C.
Peters.
The Chinese question was discussed by the
Rev. Madison C. Peters at the Bloomingdale
Reformed Church, New York, Sunday. DIR.
Peters said:
I'm the name Of God, who Of one blood made
all nations Of men to dwell on the face Of the
earth, protest against our unmanly, un-Amer-
lean and un-Christian treatment Of the Chinese.
They are human beings, having the same parts,
affections, passions and the same material rights
as other men have. When we needed cheap
labor to develope our country we begged the
Chinese to come. In 1874 our government be-
gan to coax them to come. The Chinese came,
against all their prejudices. and our treatment
Of them has been one long scene Of prejudice,
brickbats. taxation and robbery.
The Chinese are no worse than the same
number OF class of any other nationality In
our riidst. bespeak for the Chinese American
fair play. Having simply failed to register
because they were misrepresented by counsel
AZ to the const,tutionality of the law. there is
no reason why the discretionary power of the
authorities should not be used to extend tenn
porarily the period of registration. II we have
Christian civilization let us present il to the
Chinese in a Christian way. We send mission
aries and money TO China and profess O deep
interest in them thousands of miles away, and
there they are an interesting object to us. but
at our doors We avoid them, and the very minis
tiers who make the most eloquent pleas for the
Chinese in China will, without protest, allow
the Chinese in America to become the victims
of political cruelty. II the Chinaman had a
vote our demagogues in Congress would profess
great love for the Chinaman. and they would
go around on election day with an opium pipe
sticking from their pockets"
The Rev. Edward p. Payson Of the Canal
Street Presbyterian Church said regarding the
Chinese exclusion act: 1.-The Chinese make
good citizens and have shown themselves in the
main TO be honest and Industrious. They did
not come TO America in order to try to run the
country or the cities in which they settled
The Chinese in Frisco alone paw enormous
sums in taxes and license fees to the govern
ment. sums, it seems, entirely out Of proper
ton to their number. They should be treated
according to the methods Of Christianity"
