13 tlie Cliinese Qitetloa a Parly
. CJ,nc3tlon.l
democratic legislation has been so' un-
Crlendiy to Chinamen, and the press and
f.fdividual members of the Democratic
party oppose the importation and use of
coolies with such earnestness that it can
not leave a doubt in the mind of any can
did person, of the fact that the Democratic
'p'arfy l opposed to Chinese immigration
to this country.
On the other band, the Republican party
Ins held out to the Chines'? such induce
r.r.'nt.s for immigrating to this country, and
the press and politicians of that party es
loiisj the cause of tho Chinamen, and de
Ttml them with such partisan zeal, that
, 'thoro can be no doubt of the fact that
Chinese immigration is a party measure
v. lib tho Republican party. Yet, at the
f ame time that the Radicals are battling
lor their Chinese allies, and crying out for
more - Chinamen and cheap labor, they
;s(o!itly deny that the Republican party,
'a;; a party. is particularly favorable to
Chinese immigration. The question then,
is : Is the China question a party question
and do the Republican press and poli
tician,' make themselves the special cham
pions of tho Chinese? AVe will now ex
amine the facts in the case and in doing so
shall quote from the Oregoubrn alone, for
the reason that it is tho leading Republi
can paper of this State, and is the best ex
ponent of the doctrine of the Republican
party cn this, as well as other party issues.
That paper of the 2Gth of October last
bus the following :
An unparalleled, out-age on the white
race is reported to have occurred at the
State Fair. A Chinaman did tho best
"plowing that was done on the ground!
ilere is material for the next Sunday Lead
er ! Why has n't such a powerful argu
ment against the pagan races been turned
-Jo account before this.
We do not know whether the best plow
ing at the State Fair was done by a white
man or a Chinaman, neither do we care
-which did it. Rut if the best plowing was
done by a Chinaman, we cannot see that
that fact qualifies him for citizenship, or
exalts him above his proper level. Yet,
. the' radical, press exult over the fact as a
great victory, and something extraordina
ry. Had the plowing been done by a white
" laborer, a class of persons so heartily des
pised by radical politicians, it would not
have been mentioned with snch a flourish
by the Oregonlan, if that paper had notic
ed it all. It is not the champion of the
white lab n-er, its whole valuable time is
devoted to tho championship of the Chi
n.'seanl in toadying to the moneyed aris-
.. ioeraey of free America."
Always the champion of the inferior
races, and with face set steadfastly against
the laboring whites, the Oregonlan of the
7 h of October says:
There are some amongst us who express
fears lest Chinese labor may effect a gen
eral reduction of wages on the Pacific
slope. Rut tho greatest danger in this re
gard is not to be feared from Chinese la
1)1,1'. It is the competition of the white
-.labor at the east, which the Pacific railroad
5-; bringing upon us, and which will stead-
ilv increase as we obtain more and better
f.ieilith s for communication with the east,
that is destined to bring down, wages in
many branches of industry here.
Again, that paper says, in the same ar
ticle :
, V.'e have now one railroad across the
continent. That railroad has already prac
tically demoralized the industry and trade
. of California. Why? Recause it has let
in the- cheaper labor and cheaper capital
4 of the older States, or rather, annihilated
. California capital and industry.
We call attention of those who are making
- f.icl) a pother about Chinese labor to the
fact-that Chinese labor has nothing to do
with bringing about these results. They
spring from competition icilh white labor,
-and cheaper capital of the east, with our
own high-priced labor and capital. The
-labor-of tho comparatively few Asiatics
tui the Pacific slope amounts to so little
that its effect in reducing wages is scarcely
r.ppreciable ; and those who would effec
tually protect the working men of these
States against lower wages, must organize
to lea' bade the injlxence of the loicer icages
and cheap atpllal of the Al'a.dic slope.
We certainly think that the OregonianU
jesting, when it says that the Asiatics or
Chinamen are comparatively few on this
: coast. Rvcry person living here knows bel
ter than that. Rut that assertion may be
oneof its arguments for moreChinamen and
still cheaper labor, for Republican papers
are constantly demanding this. Rat when
white laborers, racn and women who
would make respectable citizens, and add
something to society, want to come here,
they are rebuffed by snch pipers as the
Orcgouian, and an effort is made to preju
dice and array the laborers of this coast
Against the white laborers of the east
wh are seeking homes on the " Pacific
p'iipo.- When it says the working men of
theso States must organize to beat back
the
the
iwWi
wages and cheaper capital of
Vtlar.tie elope, it certain!- means to
ke?n back
the laborers themselves. But
we do not hear that paper advocating the
beating back of the influence of lower
China wages. Let this be remembered,
and well considered by all.
Agiia. the Orrgoh'a-i of the 2 Sib. of Oc
tubcr, ia refurrlrg to an article in the E.v
:.":-:;:s", ta'ks a little dLGereatly from
what it did the day before, when inveigh-!
ing against the white laborers of tho east
ern States. It says :
Again, we arc told " that we have had
Chinese laborers on this coast for some
time; yet they have not opened up any
new avenues of industry, or been the
cause of any increased demand for white
labor, ibe author of this statement has
certainly been enjoying a Rip Van Winkle
nap. lias He ever heard of the Central
Pacific Railroad, built by Chinese labor;
has he any knowledge of a railroad run
ning through Oregon City, built mainly
by Chinese muscle?
Yes, we know that there is a railroad
being built through Oregon City, and have
on several occasions called attention to the
fact that cheap China laborers were em
ployed in preference to white men, and
pointed it out as one of the results of the
Chinese immigration scheme of the Re
publican party.
Rut whit strikes us as something very
peculiar is : that the Oregonlan of the 27th
saji, " The labor of the comparative few
Asiatics on the Pacific slope amounts to ?o
little that ili effect in reducing wages is
scarcely appreciable." And tbr n, in its
issue of the very next day boasts of tho
railroads built and being built on the Pa
cific tlope by "Chinese muscle." Rut such
little inconsistencies are not uncommon
with radical papers, and politicians. We
have not time to pursue this matter further
at present, but will give it more attention
hereafter.
In another column we publish another
extract from the Oregonlan which full j? ex
plains the main reason for Republican
partiality for the Chinese.
, : -O-
Large Ii.cpullieii .Majorities.
For several years past, the juries select
ed in this county, and particularly the
grand juries, have been Republican by
very decided majorities. Such things do
not happen by chance but are the result
of partizan maneuvering. Will the States
man, or any other Radical paper, take this
as a text and give us a dessertation on the
crime of " packing juries" and tell us
about " a wrong that cries to Heaven?''
Rut, candidly, we do not expect any
such dessertation. Republican papers do
not talk about juries packed" by Repub
lican officers ; such things are all right in
their estimation. Rut when these pack
ing arrangements by Republican officers
become a little too bold and glaring these
same Radical papers, without any founda
tion in fact, will attack some Democratio
officer, aud accuse him of partizan parti
ality in the discharge of his duties, for
the sole purpose of covering up the too
bold partisan partialities by Radical offi-
cers.

Elcc-
That the Radicals practice frauds in or
dcr to carry elections hardly needs proof
at the i resent time. It appears that in
the late election in Pennsylvania the Dem
ocrats were beaten in this way and intend
to" have an investigation of the matter.
Pomcroy's Democrat says :
We notice with much gratification that
the Democratic papers of Pennsylvania
are agitating iiito the canvass of the votes
ot the recent election in that State. They
propose" to call a Democratic Stale Con
vention for the purpose of considering the
propriety of contesting Geary rs right to
the seat-. This duly belongs to the State
Central Committee, assisted by Judge
Packer, and it is very clear that if the
frauds committed by the Jacobins were
overhauled, as they should be, Geary
would be ousted, and the man who was
elected by the popular vote given the po
sition. So long as the Democracy quietly
submit to fraud, just so long will frauds
be committed : but let them take a bold
and earnest stand in defense of their
rights, and the cowards will soon learn
their places and keep them.

A RnoiCAi. dig at Gkaxt. The Spring
field, Massachusetts, Republican, has the
following :
. On Saturday, Gen. Grant said, in talking
of Risk's request for information as to the
financial policy of the Government, " I
don't know but that I should have felt in
sulted by such a proposal had it come
from any other but a person like Fisk.
Rut coming from a man so destitute of
moral character, I did n't think it worth
noticing." On Monday, Gen. Grant ap
pointed Mr. George II. Butler, a nephew
of General Butler, aud a noted lackey and
procurer of FisK's, for whom the best that
could be said would be that he was no
more " destitute of moral character" than
his late employer, to the office of United
States Consul-General for British' India,
resident at Calcutta. If Butler can have
an otiice, we do not see why Fisk was not
entitled to a knowledge of the financial
purposes of the administration. Butler,
though a resident for some years of New
York, got his appointment as a Californian,
and was endorsed by the Senators of that
State and New York both. It was a pret
ty impudent piece of business all around,
apparently.

XAi-URALIZATIOX.
According to Washington letters, lead
ing members of Congress express a pur
pose to press at the coming session some
important amendments to the naturaliza
tion laws. Ry the changes which it is pro
posed to make nd man's rights will be in
terfered with, and no obstacles placed in
the way of any man achieving all the
privileges of citizenship. Rut the endeav
or will be made to confine the power of
naturalization to the United States Courts,
where it properly belongs, and where it
can be exercised without 'fear of abuse ;
and further, it will be sought to permit
the final papers of citizenship to be per
fected at the end of four years, but the
right of franchise not to be exercised until
one year after the taking out of papers.
In this way the-term of probation will not
hi prolonged, and yet all inducement for
fraud will be removed. Oregonlan 23rd.
We have beeri expecting this movement
for some time. The important amend
ments to the naturalization laws referred
to means the etriking out of the word
white. By so doiag " no obstacle will be
placed in the way of any man achieving
all the privilege.-! of citizenship." This is
what the Radicals have been driving at
and gradually approaching for sometime.
And this very proposed amendment to the
naturalization laws explains tho reason
why the Radical politicians have been
manifesting such intense love for the
Chinese. Tho loth amendment will be
probably carried through by fraud and as
soon as that is accomplished tho Radiols
wish ty open the doors of citizenship to
them in order to compensate for the loss
of intelMgent negroes which left the party
ai soon as they were sufficiently educated
to distinguish between right and wrong in
politics.
Hit let it be remembered that to make
room for these new Republican voters the
Radicals would drive respectable white
laborers from the land.
Iiadical ''UmIc and Ruin."
From the Iowa Statesman.
In the wide range of human thought
there is nothing that can equal the pre
sumption of the radical promises made
during the last Presidential campaign.
They were sure to have good times if
Grant was elected. Money was to be as
plenty as the honey-dew of Egypt, and ev
ery branch of industry was to be prosper
ous. There is now a serious question to be
solved: "Have they redeemed their
promise?" Ask the mechanic whose
hands have been idle nearly all summer.
Ask the merchant whose goods are get
ting musty on high shelves. Ask the
day laborer as he begs for employment.
Ask the manufacturer whose mills are clos
ed. Ask the farmer who is now selling
his wheat for thirty cents a bushel, in
greenbacks equal only to twenty cent
per bushel in gold.
There are but two classes that would
express themselves as well satisfied the
bond holdrs and the money-gamblers.
They could not be better pleased.
But the dismal prospect before the bus
iness man, themechanic, the.day laborer
and the farmer, should cause them to
pause a moment and view the prospect
before them, from the present aspect of
affairs.
And every man who voted, or still votes
the radical ticket, voted for this condition
of affairs.
We saw the result as plainly one year
ago, as we do to-day. We warned the peo
ple then wo tell them now y on are
warming the serpent in your bosom; when
it revives, it will turn -and sting you.
Our prediction has been fulfilled; and to
day the producer is paying "for his folly
and his vole.
And the worst is not yet. Our govern
ment gamblers must continue their ruin
ous policy until it will be impossible to
exchange a bushel of wheat for a postage
stamp. Men will starve foremployment,
and widows and orphans vill go begging
for bread.
In'fte face of all these facts, there are
thousand who still hug tho viper. Blind
to their own interest they are determin
ed to diebravely with their folly.
Oh, says one, you are a Democrat? What
of it? If Democracy can give prosperity
then let us have Democracy. Let us have
profperityand consequent enjoyment e
ven at the sacrifice of our most cherishod
prejudices.
What is Democracy ? Let tho history
of our nation's prosperity spe.-vk.-
Tbe Ohio Patriot has the following :
"When the good old Democratic party
was in power, did you hear of spies nos
ing among your private goods to see if
you have complied with the provisions of
an unknown and unpublished law?
Did you ever hear of stamps?
Did you have to swear to how much
money you made?
If a manufacturer, did you have to make
a mouthly report to some lazy official at
five or ten dollars per day ?
Did you hear men (as you now do) ad
vocate the policy of paying the laborer
with paper rags aud the money shavers
with gold ? o
Did your hear of a lax on every thing
you est or wear in addition to a State,
county and municipal tax?
Did you hear of a President riding
about in a stcumboat wholly to his own
use at the expense of the people, when he
was receiving a salary of $25,000 per
year ?
An A nowt is for lis to turn upon the
tyrant who has crushed us ; and work, in
view of our returning to the " good time
coming," for ourselves and our posterity
that we may transmit to them what our
fathers bequeathed to ns " Life, liberty

COURTESY OF BANCROFT
PROFANITY.
For the ExTEnriiisE: . ,
Among all the Vices to which the hu
man race arc addicted none is more prev
alent than profanity. It pervades all
classes or society. In the highest circles
of refinement the disgusting oath grates
upon the ear, and mingles with the low
ribaldry and profane jest of the rabble.
It is becoming a " crying evil." Ladies
are insulted on the streets by persons
guilty of using profane language! Boys
just beginning to talk are permitted to
take the name of God in vain. Pass along
our streets and you will hear the little fel
lows tittering the most fearful oaths.
They have not the fear of God before their
eyes.
JriTbus the whole social system is pervert
ed. It is a rank poison, a deadly malaria
producing a diseased condition in all who
come within its influsnce. ' It acts like
blight upon the soul, it is a plague spot,
destroying 'man's true nobility, degrading
his whole being. It is one of the most
barren sins that are committed. There is
no necessity for it. There is no excuse
for its indulgence. It does not better the
condition of a person in any way. Men
sometimes think that it adds strength to
what they say ; whereas it weakens their
statements ; for the very fact of their tak
ing the name of God lightly upon their
lips presupposes a doubt of their being
believed. Often when in a passion men
will indulge in the most appalling pro
fanity. Their profane oaths are but the
smoke from the fierce fire that burns in
their souls. They cease to be men. and
are but incarnate devils. Such men are
indeed "empty old hulks" stranded upon
the shore, deserted by all the nobler
lite; and unless they receive tne ever
blessed gospel of Christ, being ?y it reno
vated and made pure, they will at last
beat against that shore which i3 forever
shrouded in eternal darkness. Profanity
is so general amo
the masses that it.-
great sinfulness is overlooked. Associa
tion has taken away from it, in a isoasnre,
its heinousness. One of the most fruitful
sources of profanity is to be found ift the
use of " idle words."
habit thus- form-1
ed will almost inaperceptably lead to
" profane word'
Children need to be regarded rt'lb
grext care, else they will take up the pro
fane expressions which they hear. How
sad it is that the little ones are ever ex
posed fo' those who are profane. The
hope of the next generation is in the chil
dren of this-. 3t neces?..iry then that they
be trained up to fear God and keep his
commandments. Mothers and fathers did
yon erer tfeink frow whetice those dear
ones came, and whither they 'are going?
Did you never think tfiat they are sweet
nngels sent to draw j our hearts heaven
ward to be a connecting link bctv?cv?i
you and tho better land?
God rcqirires that yen train those; lTftfe
messages of hi leve for hh horror and
glory. Let not the sfinny icTirs of their
childhood pass over t'em iri neglect. Let
their early footsteps tivad in tSe Klysian
fields of God s sunlight. tv'hile their
youthful hearts are uncorrup?-f. import
ant right principles. Sow the seed of vir
tue and truth, and in after years yon will
reap a reach reward. The old adage
"As is the boy so is the man' is very cor
rect and has been verified in thousands of
cases. Train them to fear God remem
bering always the command given amid
the thunders of SinaT, Thou shalt not
take the name of the Lord thy God in vain.
the Lord will not hold him guiltless
that taketli his name in vain." All who
arc interested in the welfare of society
should lend their iml'.icnce to check the
onward course of this sin. Mi:n live year
after year taking the name of God in Val'i-
without thinking of Him, or having a
thought of a hereafter ; but the Lord will
not hold them guiltless that take his name
in vain. Some birds build their nests in
the trees on the banks of a rushing stream.
The sun shine3 for them as for other birds ;
the rain and the dew, and the soft sighing
breeze rocks their nests and they waible
their songs ; but the river is ever washing
away the ground underneath, and sudden
ly they are swept dewn the strong current.
So it is with the profane swearer the path
he is treading leads to destruction. Pro
fanity ia a blight upon our fair land.
Within our halls of legislation may be
heard the . profane oath. Ssatesmen and
warriors men in high stations lead the
way. Many of the newspapers that enter
the social circle around the hearthstone
admit with in their columns profane lan
guage and thus help to casta daik shadow
over our country. Like the Simoon of the
desert it leaves in its track many blighted
souls. There needs to be a great awak
ning on this subject Let us arise with
the true dignity of manhood upon us and
cast from us this shameful sin, and no
more debase ourselves by the use of lan
guage that is disgraceful and degrading
and most ot all is in violation of God's
commands. PROFUNDUS.
