A coolie, whether he Is Indian or

den of the lowest social condition of

and he never ia clothed in more than
just enough OF cotton breech cloth to
cover his nakedness. He can carry
more OF a load quicker and farther and
with greater certainty that It will arrive
at Its destination in good condition,
than any other brast OF burden. For
his pay he receives just enough money
to keep bod and soul together.
Like every other business or profess

separate and distinct from every other
caste. From time immemortal there
