"F KID AT .Tanuahy 31, 1879
Coming tea Head
The telegraphic dispatches pub
lished yesterday informs us that
the house of representatives, by a
Vote of 155 against 72, on the 28th
'passed the bill to restrict Chinese
immigration precisely as reported
from the committee on education
and labor, and that the bill now
zroes to the senate. From this it
-will be seen that the Chinese bub
ble is drawing to a head pretty
fast. The entire question has
engrossed 'more attention at Wash
ington, this winter than it has ever
o
received at the hands of public
men. The secret of this -is that
both political parties are manceuv
oring for campaign advantages in
California next fall.
The bill which has so nearly
'unanimously passed the house is
the same that was supported by a
recent report from the committee
ou labor and education, -to whom
the subject was referred, which re
iterates the views -wHch have long
been prevalent with reference to
the Asiatics on this coast. Several
eminent men addressed the house
on the topic, and among them,
Gen. Garfield of Ohio, Haskell of
Kansas, Marcy of Mississippi, and
"Willis of Iventucky, chairman of
the committee which reported the
bill. ;Fwo of these gentlemen are
republicans and two democrats.
Tf nothing unforeseen happens,
the ball will be opened speedily in
the senate, and if no parliamentary
mistake is made, a vote will be
reached in time for the bill to be
come a law at this session.
The chances arc that the Chi
neseproblem will now be thorough
ly and satisfactorily settled. It
can hardly be said that any very
deep or close attention has been
bestowed upon, it up to a very re
cent date at the east. For a long
time there was rather a tendency
to believe that the ..people of this
coast "were asking'more than could
be'graiited consistently wd the
principles of, our government.
There was a disposition to consid
er, protection from cheap labor a
novel demand, something that had
never been heard of before, and
something tha't could not be tol
erated. It must certainly be re
garded as ouepf the marvels of
the times fhat the -section of coun
try in which these ideas were
general should have been so utter
ly oblivious of what has been done
for it, in precisely the same direc
tion. The parties who profess to
;believe that the American laborer
could not be protected from the
competition ojLcheap Asiatic labon,
i$0re now enjoying the benefits of
"She jmost. gigantic, far-reaching and
searching system of protection,
resting on precisely the sameijasis,
"that has ever been devised.
The tariff which is now in force,
-and which may be pronounced the
mot-exclusive 'that has ever been
drafted, reposes upon no' other
foundation thanthat on which the
-Qhinese question. stands. It was
'conceived, elaborated and enacted
$for 'the sole purpose of .protecting
American labor from the conipetl-
.tion of the "pauper labor" of
Europe. There is no other arsj;
ment that has ever been heard of,
that has io
V&
can be urred in favor.
of the rwistrial .policy which we I
have been sOxlong pursuing. It is
the whole burtren oi the song and
the foundation of the edifice. A
tariff running all the way from 30
' 1M - " !. U,n
W WyW . y,. UCC .W0C
to protect the American miner
from the competition of the Eng
lish miner in Cornwall; to protect
the American weaver from the
competition of the like artizan in
Lyons, and to protect the Ameri
can mechanic and laborer in at
least 1,000 forms of employment.
In the great majority cf cases
the government derives no benefit
whatever from this colossal prohi
bition. The price of the native
article is raised, by the amount of
the tax levied. The additional
price goes into the pockets of the
manufacturers, and is supposed to
be distributed by them among arti
sans and laborers. Certain it is
that if protection was proposed
alone for the benefit of capitalists,
it would never have been 'Adopted.
To insure the success of this pro-
tection of American labor from the
"pauper la'bor'' of Europe, an army
of civil servants is kept up at the!
public expense. This army ox
ceeds by several thousands the em
ployes of any power in the world,
though we are supposed to be
maintaining' a republican govern
ment which is, or ought to be, dis
tinguishable from the monarchial
form in nothing so much as its
simplicity and cheapness. But
while all this is done for the pro
tection of labor on the other side,
the proposition to protect labor on
the Pacific side from tho compe
tition of the Asiatic coolies, was
met with something like positive
derision.
Then we heard a screat deal o
the universal brotherhood of man,
and other generalities supposed to
be applicable to the case. 'But
there was a dense Yorgetfulnoss of
this great truth when the tariff was
under consideration. Probably it
was supposed not to extend to
the Cornish miner, or 'the Lyons
weaver, or the Manchester cotton
spinner. It would seem that we
.are only brothers with the heathen
non-assimiiable Asiatic. In the
whole course of our histony there
never was a more glaring instance
of short-sightedness and injustice
of one section of the republic to
ward another than that manifested
by the east, toward the Pacific
coast, in the matter of Mongolian
immigration. Kept above the
competion of European Jabor by a
tariff, prohibitory, nearly, in 4 he
whole field of labor, and meant to
be, it seemed for a while to be held
that the small demand of the Pa
cific. coast to be protected against
a still lower form of labor compe
tition could not be granted.
This was not the treatment
which one part of the Union should
extend to the other. If the east
had no protection at all for its
labor, there would be Some logical
consistency in the attitude assumed
by some of the organs of public
opinion. But the lower house of
congress has, by its action, part
ly remedied this great wrong. -It
is competent for congress to lay
down the rule that -if the east is
entitled to protection from the
"pauper labo?' o'f Europe, the
west has a validtilaimto 'be pro
tected from the still more degraded
i labor of Asia.
