which they came.
These Chinese coolies are by nature simply
labor machines and they will not suffer in the
slightest degree through their employment in dig
ging the canal. In one aspect the bringing Of them
to the canal zone may be act of philanthropy,
since under the terms of the contract they will live
and labor under more cleanly, healthful and gen
orally better conditions than those which surround
them in their native China.
The canal must be dug and recent costly ex-
periments have proven that Chinese coolie labor
is the only kind fit for the Job.

CHINESE AND THE CANAL.

The Panama canal commission has not altered
its determination to dig the big waterway with
Chinese labor. 1t is going right ahead and speci-
fcations have been sent to contractors calling for a
supply OF 1000 laborers each month. The contract
period is OF two years duration and ten hours a
days labor, with additional pay for overtime.
Objection has been made to this plan, chiefly
by President Gompers of the American Federation
OF Labor, but it would seem to be based upon
theoretical rather than upon practical grounds In
no way the employment OF coolie labor on
the Panama canal conflict with established condi-
-tions OF labor in this country.
The interoceanic waterway is an enterprise
undertaken outside the territory of the United
States and it is work in which American labor
could not be induced TO engage Under any eireunt
stances. The labor that is employed must be for
eign and must remain foreign. There is no DANCE
whatever that it will ever come into competition
with American labor.
Present laws exclude coole labor from th
United States. so those employed on the isthmu
can find no place here. Their work done on th

WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 20, 1906.
DOOM OF THE MERCENARIES.

The decent Democracy OF the city of Provi-
dence has come into its own again 1t has tri-
umphed over the Swiss mercenares who i'll the
past disgraced and betrayed it, and who in the
present are plotting to treacherously sell it out
to the political enemy.
The success OF the representatives OF the real
Democracy in wrestling the control of the city
committee from the Hessian element that seized
it by the assistance of Braytonism's partisan
board OF canvassers and registration, has given
new hope and cheer to the loyal and sincere mem
,ers of the party, not only here in Providence but
throughout the state.
That it was by scandalous trickery, aided,
abetted and made effective by the ruling of Bray
tons board OF canvassers, the guerrilla element
usurped the Offices in the Democratic city COM
inittee and impudently undertook to dectate the
party policy and direct its affairs is matter OF
common knowledge.
II is equally well known that this band OF poll
tica freebooters was repudiated by the ultimate
authority in the Democratic organization-the
state central committee. 1t was declared not to
represent the party and to be not OF the party.
Nevertheless. branded it thus.
treacherous and traitorous this gang OF mercen-
aries and mischief makers presumed to hold fast
to the offices it had stolen in the hope that by re-
tanning them II could render ala ana CoilllOrt 10
the Brayton oigarchy and secure reward for such
shameless faithlessness.
Happily the militant spirit OF the city Demo
cracy would tolerate such outrage 1t has
grasped the power hlched from it and will exercise
it throughout the campaign in way to make
victory sure and complete.
The conspirators against Democratic success
who have been exposed to the contempt OF all
honorable mer and stripped OF all potency for mis-
chief will not long offend decent Democrats by
their presence on committee upon which they
sought membership only that they might sell il out
for pay. The decent Democratic electorate will. a
month hence, see to it that they are driven from
the places they disgrace into dishonored oblivion.
In the past these traders in treachery realized
substantial but filthy profit, from their contempt
ible traffic Hereafter that revenue from their
own shame will be cut off. Driven out of the
party they served only TO betray, branded for what
they are, mpotent for either good or evil Bray
tonism corrupt and malign as it is will no longer
employ or pay them.
Who these men are il is unnecessary to set
down here Their acts have pilloried them before
the public. Without party or principle, Stunned
by all decent citizens cast off by the very oligarchy
the money OF which tempted them to dishonor,
they will pass from sight and from mind and the
political atmosphere OF the community will be the
purer for their passing.
