They are coming to this coast in great

prevented will come annually by the mil
lions.
Americans cannot and do not want to
be compelled to compete with them. They
can live cheaper than wild goose and
are as wiry and tough as a piece of raw
hide. They have no more love for this
country than a rattlesnake has for a
young turkey. About all they consume
comes from India They wear a roll of
cloth about fifteen feet in length (product
of India) instead OF a hat. They wind
and call it n .turban.' They cut wages
and every dollar they get goes to India
to pay the fare to this country of their

seem to be cousins to one another, and in
