The Accursed Mongolian.
One of tho great factors in promot
ing the growth of the country has
been immigration. But immigration
up to the breaking out of the civil war
gave the South tho go-by. Freo labor
will never enter in competition with
alave labor, because it is too heavily
weighted down for the eucountcr. To
insuro success it would have to be
content with wages equal to or less
than the expenso of maintaining tho
slave. All tho immigration of a long
period settled down in the North and
West. It gave to the North the pre
ponderance which told in the conflict
for the preservation of the Union. In
California, by the influx of the Chi
nese, we have been reduced to some
what the same condition as the South.
Immigration does not pour in upon us
because the immigrant kuows that in
a large sense he will have to come in
competition with the semi-servile labor
of the Asiatics.
If the Mongolian curse had not
fallen upon us, the population 01 the
State would, no doubt, to-day be much
larger than it is. States which .only
produce a single staple have gone
ahead of ns partly for the reason
stated. S'. F. Bulletin.
Tho Australian government has
passed a law prohibiting further Chi
nese immigration to any Australian
port. From all civilized lands is heard
the same cry: "The Chinese must go,"
and, for the saute universal reason.
The beardless race which for three
thousand years has practiced economy
until they have ceased to long for
even the reasonable comforts of life,
and which through all these years
have been forced to work perpetually
to Jceep from starving, until now to
toil is their normal condition, are at
last prepared by a hundred genera
tions of misery to live on so little
food and to breathe so little air that
for a white man to compete with them
is impossible. The white man cannot
work after he has ceased to hope. If
poor, he is comforted through tho
week by the thought that when Sun
day comes he will have a day with his
loved ones, and that it will be crowned
by a generous feast. If ever so poor
there is, down in his heart, a belief
that some imo he will have enough to
buy a little home, which will bo all
his own, where there will be a garden,
and a climbing vine above the roof.
And when ho sees a race appear that
have no Sabbath, that have no hope,
no dream of anything in the future
but toil, and yet can work because
not one generous hope has ever
wanned their hearts, he recoils and
cries out that such a race must go.
A thrift that reduces a man's living
until they want but a moiety of air,
an economy which dries up the secre
tion until but a moiety of food is re
quired, and an industry which drives
a man on to labor without air and
without food make conditions with
which the native born American can
not meet and compete. And when
there is found added to these charac
teristics a brain vacant of all thoughts
which lift up and ennoble humanity,
yet subtle beyond description in tho
bearing which a transaction is to have
upon a final profit or los3, and which
at the same time is not controlled by
any moral sentiment, the dullest mind
can estimate how formidable is the
danger presented to all generous races
by these miserable creatures. And
then thoy are uon-combatauts. They
meet derision with a smile and perse
cution with a patience which bofiles
courage everywhere: Lastly, as com
pared with all other nations, they are,
in number, as the leaves of the forest.
If through their vast native land the
death angel should pass aud touch
with his seal tho lips of the first born,
as of old in Egypt, if on the morrow's
tlawn it should be found that there
are as many dead as all the inhabi
tants of our republic number, the loss
would scarcely make a ripple there.
Bv the end of the week every tear
would be dried, the awful gap would
be closed, and the same terrible front
of hungry millions would be presented,
ready with insidious step to resume
the locust raid upon any land which
offered food or presented a possibility
for toil. No" wonder that throughout
the earth brave men grow afraid as
they contemplate the spectacle; no
wonder that generons hearts cry out
against such hopeless competition.
