pensation inhnitesimally small when
compared with that demanded in the
western world. He entirely supports
the contention of the labor leaders Of
the United States that Chinese labor
must be excluded, because he affirms
that II II were permitted to enter into
competition with the ordinary labor of
America II could not fail to acquire an
ascendency over 1t. not on account of
degraded habits and methods OF liv.
