Perhaps in the whole history of the
war there was no such night as fol-
lowed. Hooker and his subordinate
generals worked at the reconstruction
of the lines to be ready for the fight
ing which everybody knew must come
at dawn. Bodies Of troops were moved
in the darkness and through the
woods. Hooker had to complete new
front, facing jackson, as well as main
tain his old front facing Lee. negi-

before the mistake was discovered.
The same was true on the Confederate
side. Scores Of soldiers fell that

the Six Companies do not sell their hu-
man CATTLE They hire them out. They
receive a stipulated sum for the work
of their hands, and they also receive
payment from each coolie for procur
ing employment for him. The coolies
are therefore free; but to all intents
and purposes they are slaves. Never
theless, they look upon the Six Com
panies as public benefac- DIS. They are
provided with employment, and have
their transportation paid for them,
which, of course, they have to pay back.
The coolies are paid about $25 per
month. The Six Companies CONTRACT to
provide the board and lodging for their
coolies; and they charge enough to al
most absorb all of their earnings. Con-
scquently this trust" which deals i'll
human beings, simply permits the
coolies to live and make rich their bene-
factors (?) by their toll.
Now be it understood that the Six
Companies employ highbinders, just
as American corporations may do. You
must understand that highlander is
simply an executive officer, OF chief OF
police or a sort of sheriff. The Six
Companies have no connection with any

Six Companies, the strongest trust"
in the world. OF course they shut out
of business many smaller dealers; but
that is one of the results of the law
of the survival Of the fittest, and the
Chinese recognize that law spontane-
Ously.
The headquarters of the Chinese Six
Companies are in Canton, and the
American headquarters are at San
Franchises; and the Six Companies have
representatives all over the world
wherever there is to be found a col
Ony OF 1,G00 or more Chinese people.
All orders and all transactions ulti-
mately go on record in the home Of
fees at Canton, China. There is where
the bulk of the money made goes, too.
Not only is this a trust which is
contrary to the modern ideas of our
people, but it is trust" organized for
dealing in human beings. The princi-
pal business of the Six Companies is
supplying coOlie labor in large fields
Of enterprise, cnch as building rail
roads mining and ordinary labor re-
curing no special skill or fitness for
peculiar employment. The Six Com
panies supply Chinese laborers for the
mines of Brazil, Chilli, Ecuador, Bolivia
and other countries. They furnish la
borers for the guano deposits of Peru
and for the Peruvian inter beds. At one
time there were 10000 Chinese coolie
laborers employed on the Pacific rail-
roads, and mary of them are still en-
ployad on those roads, keeping them in
repair.

called slavery or slave trade, because

Especial Washington letter.

ii seldom happens to one Of our people
to nave an opportunity to converse with
an educated Chinaman, one who can use
the English language with facility.
Therefore it was a treat for the writer
to recently spend an hour in converse
ton with polished and cultured gen
tleman of that race, who told many
new and interesting things about his
country and his people.
In reply to an inquiry concerning the
SIX Companies and the Highbinders'
he gave an elaborate description OF
them, which is herewith reproduced
Sfrom memory. In a newspaper there
appeared a dispatch concerning the
threat of one Chinaman against an
other, the threat Of death, unless $500
should be paid to ''highbinder." The
newspaper account gave no particulars,
and the average reader would suppose
that brigandage was carried on by
high binders. and with the consent Of
the people in the Chinese quarter.
Whenever any act of violence is
committed by Chinaman it is GUS
tomary in this country to attribute it
TO a highlander, when, as a matter OF
fact, highbinders are not guilty Of any
injustice, and certainly are not re
sponsible for brigandage or lawlessness
OF that character. But first let us I'M
derstand the Six Companies; then we
can understand the highbinders better.
When you read in the newspapers pO-
litical editorials denOuncing trusts,
and when you hear orators of all pc
lit;cal parties shouting themselves
hoarse and growing red in the face
and big in the neck with their patriotic
declarations, you may understand that
they are denouncing something older
than America, as a factor in the affairs
of the world. Long before Columbus
| secured the support which enabled him
to cross the ocean and discover this con-
tinent; and long before Eric the Red
sailed from Iceland to the coast of Mas
sachusetts, trusts" were in vogue in
China. This shows that there is moth
ing new under the sun.
The Six Companies constitute a
"trust," and a powerful combination il
| is. too. Just how old it is cannot be
stated, although, of course, the branch
in this country has been in existence
but a limited number of years. But
trusts" have existed in China from
time immemOrial. Long before there
was any Fourth of July to celebrate
in this country the Chinese were max,
ing gunpowder, and making tirecrack-
ers, and the goods were disposed of by
trust"
This Six Companies trust" was or
| ganized by merchants for their own
betterment. 1t became necessary be-
cause competition was strong, and
ruinous to trade. There was one body
of merchants doing business in Hong
Kong, and there were five companies
doing business in Canton. They were
constantly cutting prices, and under
mining each other, until they all real
lied that ruin was before them; and so
for self-protectiOn and advancement
they pooled their issues and formed the
