Some surprise may be felt at the
story that all but six of Lincoln's Chi

the white man and the Chinaman The
Americans expenses in the larger city
will be larger because conditions there
tend to make him want more and
richer things, and thereby to increase
expenses regardless of whether prices

Increase. The larger cities, having
those advantages in transportation IA
cilities and rates that made them
large, are in fact able tc sell the nee
essaries of consumption at lower prices
than the smaller cities, and the nee
essaries are all the Chinaman buys.
Hence he lives more cheapiy in the
larger city, where even rents, due,
partly to greater economy of space,
partly to the cheaper transportation of
building materials, partly tn the lower
per cent of profit demanded in the
larger and older place, are lower than
would be expected of a congested dis
trict The race problem, as it affects
the Chinaman, is not for US yet.
