The Pro-Coolies

1t is little surprising to learn that
IN this community there are people
who do not approve of the position
taken by this paper in relation to
Asiatic labor. The ANTI-IMpERIALIsT
is in receipt OF no less than three
communications from people who live
in Thurston County, who consider it
unjust and unwise TO close our door
against the coolie labor OF the Orient.
One correspondent says that we can
best carry on Our Outstanding
mission by permitting these people to
come among us, and by contract, as
simulate something OF our Christian
thought and standards" There is
something in the Good Book to the
effect that a man is worse than a
heather who is unmindful OF the needs
of his own household. Shall we re.
duce our own working millions to a
coolie level of life in order that w
may have the means "by contract Of
rubbing piano finish on these ma.
hogany heather?
Another correspondent insists thai
the presence of the Chinese and
Japanese among us will be positive
advantage. He dwells upon theil
patience, their frugality, their willing
ness to work for what they can get
He points with pride to the fact tn a,
they never strike or indulge in any o.
those RESTLESS agitations that result ir
repeated and ever increasing de
mands." He assures us that theil
presence in this country in sufficient
numbers would increase the "confi
dence of capital" etc., etc. Even so
We will not undertake to dispute an,
one OF these statements. Il is true
that their presence in large numbers
would increase the confidence O
capital" But what we want to see il
an increase in the confidence of labor
We want to see such conditions pre-
vail in this country, that the man who
has to work for daily wage may fee
q measure of confidence as to the
future, both US to his own daily bread
and his children's welfare. We would
like fewer strikes and less labor I'M
rest and fewer labor crises; but We
want to see that time come as q result,
OF a recognition by capital Of the
rights of labor, and not as result o.
free-born American labor being brough,
down to the level of the spiritless serf
There is a patience that is virtue
the calm waiting for opportunity
but there is a patience that is mere
servility - the result of a spirit
thoroughly crushed. The coolie'.
patience is of the latter quality, and
we hope never to see the day when the
American laborer will be distinguished
for that quality.

How easy it was for Mark Hanna to
settle the coal strike in Pennsylvania,
although it was known that it was
done only as party expedient to con-
ciliate the man who carries the dinner
pail in the same hand that does his
voting. II will not win this time, for
the man who delves in the bowels OF
the earth for tho bare means for keep
ing body and soul together, knows
from bitter experiences that there
never is concession made by the coal
barons that is not followed by an extra
turn of the screws. The barons, while
they heard with their ears, saw with
their eyes the wink by which Hanna
