CIIIXAMEX AGAIN.
Several Radical papers have discussed
oar article in the issue of week before
last on "Chinese Labor,.. South." The
Oregonian applies the word "adrcitne'ss"
to the argument of that article and says
that it affords a striking proof of tho flex
ibility of Democratic principles. In an
ewering, it further says:
'There is niifbcro in tbo world any fiM of; la
bor which "the white men will not touch," pro
vide? it Trill j) oy. Hut tha Democrat mys list the
J?onth must h ito cheap lsbcr or she cn produce
wo cotton. Ho, wo answer. Oregon must have
hcp labor or rho can produce no iron, but little
wheat and few wooleu Ktds. Oregon Is just aa
much interest sd in hiring cheap labor aa any
Southern State can be. It is absurd to lay that
Chinese labor competes with white labor in Ore
gon, but that so fuch competition ean take place
a the South. The distinction raited by the Al
bany paper is simply a dorioe to rescue it party
Irora the dilecicaa into which it U thrown by the
mbarratint; demand of the Southern Deraoeraej
c the iotrod ictiun of large numbers of Chiaeee
-aoorert."
True, there is nowhere a field of labor
that white men will not touch provided it
will pay. But the field to. which wo
alluded it will not pay white men to touch.
And here is just where tho diffcrenco is
between the South and Oregon. Here
the employment of white labor in the
production of iron, wheat and woolen
.goods has paid, docs pay will pay.
In I860 the South produced 1,7G7,
13SG,333 lbs. of cotton worth $191,806,--655.
In 1567, three years after the war
had closed and while tho South was en
joying tho beneficent sway of a patriotic
Congress, it produced 471,573.300 lbs. So
that with free labor a great part of which
is still cheajer than white labor in the
2urth, and with the price advanced fully
a hundred per cent., there was a falling
off of nearly three-fourths in the cotton
produced between the two periods. The
demand for this single article, already so
tnormous, is likely to be doubled in the
next twenty years and the importance of
its production to America is readily seen.
The effect of our failing off has been to
stimulate the cottcn culture in other por
tion of the world. The British govern
ment, through its cocsnls and commercial
agents, has made nuRercns and well di
rected effort to this end. The dispatch,
cs published in this paper ouly last week
.Stated that that government was project
ing a railway system iD India to facilitate
;thc transportation and thus foster the
growth of cctton in that country, on ac--count
ef the ineufUcieut supply fToni
America. The destruction of slave labor
lias, thus brought into existence formida
ble competition to America. To be suc
cessful in competing with these we must
find cheaper labor as cheap or nearly so
as that in India, F.ypt, Turkey, Liberia,
British Guiana, Fcgee Islands and many
Other places where cotton is being succcss-
li 1 1 JF kuiuiat.u. VUl n title laUUUTS CSU
not go into this competition and will not.
The Cooly as wc said before is the great
-desideratum. Here he is in nobody's
way. Here lei him take the place made
racant by the slave. Within these cir
ctnnFcribed bounds let him toil and set
-all of the spindles in the world in mo
tion; and build the South to an unexam
pled prosperity, and himself become a
benefactor of the human family.
But you cannot apply this reasoning
"to Oregon any more than you can trans
form eotton and sugar plantationg into
acres of wheat or rice fields into meadows.
- Oregon must hare cheap labor or she
can produce to iron, but little wheat and
few woolen goods." Her labor is cheap
-enough for all of these result. White
.labor hw been successful in respect of
these pursuits from the first. Our far
mers and manufacturers J. are prospered
.and with the additional facilities for trans
portation now promised will enjoy ample
remuneration for the labor employed at its
present value. In other words it pays.
Jn the production of wheat, iron, and
"woolen goods they are not competing with
-the cheap labor of India, Egypt, Fegee
Islands, Liberia, etc. And now pray
don't expect them to compete with China
labor. Freemen raise wheat, slaves cot.
toa. This is the instructive lesson cf these
fines and has been of all times. If the
Oregonian means to say that wc must
have cheaper labor, why don't it say so
atjance? Say to the working men in Or
Cgou: "We intend tobringhere one million
coolies; we, will swarm all of the fields
of industry with them; we will have Ia-
Dor skilled and unskilled at 31 and 38
cents per day instead of 81,50 and $2,00.
For that sum you must feed and clothe
jour family and educate your 'children
and pay your taxes." Why do not these
advocates of Coolie immigration put their
Hags over their tents and let these men
"whose earnest every day work upholds
or social system see tho designs and
principles of the men for whom they are
ssked to vote. :
We want population to make this coun
ty great. To make it richer you say
"'yes in the essential elements of society

Hot slaves for toil men in sympathy with

E?a covet theie are the inhabitants we

Cf saying that instead of them we shall
be overrun with pariahs, coolies, slaves
of China masters, who come hero .driven
and herded, who bring with them dis
ease and idolatry, who rear temples in
stead of churches, who taint tho nir
with moral leprousy. Who will take tho
responsibility of driving our mechanics
from tho workshops and our laborers from
the field, our whito women from tho vo
cations of honorable lifo to pauperism and
prostitution as has been done by this very
means in San Francisco f

periment that will bo followed with terri

our numbers ten times over vrith these

pectation that the ten and their descend
ents, who will incrcaso in ten-fold greater
ratio, will always prove dociio and obedi
ent to the one. The result will bo this :
Our Anglo Saxon institutions and the
good and beautiful that belong to them
will be choked out by the growth of an

President fl rant has in no instance made a great
er mistake than in removing Mr. Wilbur, A man
cf tho most benero'.ent and unselfish niotlrcs, be
had labored for cij;bt years with untiring cal fr
the improTcment at the Indiana at Simcoc, and
was really accomiiHsbtng a great work in their
behalf. -They had perfrct confidence la biro, and
his influence over them was large and beneficent.
That such a man, under auch circumstances,
should have been Hnnidanted by a young and un
tried military officer, was great mistako; and if
Mr. Wilbur will consent to return to his pot we
hope our Senators and others baring influence at
Washington will endcaror to have him reinatated
in a place which be has filled with to great advan
tage to the Indians, the (lovernment, and this
portion t'f the country . Orryonian.
Humbug! President Grant has made
no mistake in the matter. Don't he
know that Wilbur can't run politics over
on Sinicoo to any advantage ? The mis
take he made was iu ordering tho remov
al of Simpson, Meachera, and Lafollettc
whose benevolence consists in dabbling in
the affairs of the counties of Yamhill,
Polk and Benton and in carrying, if pos
sible, those counties for the Radical by
means of federal patronage. But that
was corrected after Williams made his
late hasty trip to Washington, ffhe in
fluence of these men in these doubtful
counties is the slender thread upon which
"our" Senator hangs his hopes for re
election. Tho h5pe that he will use his
influence to return Wilbur to his post
looks like a joke. Show William where
Wilbur can probably bo the instrument
of procuring a vote in the Legislature for
' my reelection" and ha'll make another
round trip to Washington in four weeks
to have him reinstated. Williams hadn't
any use for anybody who can't take part
in "Just fixing me.'

Mn, Tcnstn. "What do you thtuk of the

Mn. Traim. " The honr Js too late for debate,
but I will boil down your bUtory In a paragraph.
The early pionrers were heroes. Half a century
hence you will be spokm of as the great column ot
progress. They wers giants in thoso days. (Ap
I'Uuno ) Six months tn tha UufTalo and Indian
trail, fiein foier and starvation, and six daya on
tho Pacifio Railway iu a Pullman Hotel Car, are
two distinct eras in civiliration, as shown ia my
epigram on the I'tiHman PmUco Car."
Train don't talk all of this incongruity
for nothing. Tho idea underlying nil of
this, is that the State muH help build
Railroad.1; must change its Constitution
get into debt cover itself with mortgages
-scatter abroad it interest bearing Bunds
All very nice ; but it won't' wash here.
Mr. Tram we believe is a railroad dabbler
himself owns Mock in the U. 1. R. R -
a road built by (Jovcrumcnt and owned by
aprivatc corporation. he wants Oregon to
saddle herself with dbt, and build a road
which is to be the property of a few indi
vidua!. Perhaps Train would generously
consent to become a part owner would
find it as good an Omaha lots.
V s . I t a
it me in i iron u is sucn a non-paying
institution when built by private cash, we
are afraid it won't make large returns if
built by the State.
From Portland to Jacksonville, there
are more than twice 20,000 people more
than twice that number in the counties
which the proposed Kast Side Road will
bisect. Hero are name figures, based on
the popular vote of 18GS : Clackamas,
0,4 13, .Marion 12,20, Linn 11,510. Lano
7,4G0 Douglas 6,790, Jackson 0,050 To
lal 51,205. This docs not include the
counties upon the Wct side of the river.
31 r. Train is welcome to these figures. We
hope he will avail himself of them.
Suppose the road built to Eugene, where
Traiu says it mut stop, its construction
can't exceed in cost two and a half mill
ions wont reach it. Six per cent, inter
est is 8150,000. Within the year of the
completion of the road to that point, Lane
county will singly pay it that sum for
freight; Marion will pay it a much hrgcr
sum, and Linn will double it. This ia no
idle speculation. It is calculated upon the
products now sent to market, as derived
from attainable and authentic sources.
Linn county will pay this year $150,000
upon her grain crop, add to this her bacon,
butter, eggs, wool aud other products, and
you may approximate what she pays on
exports alone. But tho marvelous effects
that all ra:iroada have had upon the coun
tries through which they are built, show
that the capacity for production is the
true basis upon which to calculate the
business that a road will receive, and this
would multiply our figures many times.
Mr. Train thinks we cannot compete in
inducements to cjumigrants with Iowa,
Missouri, Kansas and Nebraska. We
certainly have a soil as productive. We arc
much nearer to the two gates San Fran,
cisco and Pugct Sound by which the
commerce of Asia is to enter. We can
get our 450 million pairs of boots, aud our
450 million felt hats to China quicker and
cheaper than they. The crickets do not
cat our crops. Our bridges are not torn ur,
our towns blown down and our harvest
fields inundated by tornadoes and floods
in July. Moreover,' aa evidencing the
comparative resources of Oregon and the
State3 mentioned our citizens have more
dollars per capital than they.
