SATUItDAY OCTOBER 51. 18S3
SOME FALLACIES OF LABOIi.
A wkitki: in u recent number of
the Orerlfind jToiilhhf gives what
may be called the off side of the
cheap labor question on this coast.
Two views have always prevailed
touching this question, viz., the
maioritv and the minority view.
The former was recently expressed
in California in a popular vote on
Chinese immigration in which the
negative vote was so strongly rep
resented that it was hardly worth
while to note the cisrht hundred
votes in the affirmative. That
vote fairly expressed the public
sentiment of that state not only
touching Chinese immigration, but
as a consequence, of cheap labor.
The minority represented about a
thousand persons, mostly capital
ists or large ranch owners. These
believe in cheap labor because
tht-re is an immediate personal
benefit to accure from it to this
cltiss of cmnlovcrs. The broader
view is entirely ignored. The
large question of state polity, of
what is best for a. young and grow
ing state, does not concern them
in the least.
Now the prosperity of Califor
nia has not, up to this date, de
pended on cheap labor, but upon
labor which has commanded rela
tively high prices. Labor has
been turned into capital. Proba
bly every California advocate of
cheap Chinese labor wnt to Cali
fornia as a poor man, and the suc
cess of his life has depended upon
the fact that he was well paid for
his labor, and was thereby enabled
to turn it into capital, lie got his
start in this way. It is not cheap
labor which has built up that state,
but labor which has commanded
such a price that the laborer could
emerge from that condition into
one more correctly described as a
capitalist. Now what has been
good for California or Oregon in
that early stage of growth, will be
good at the second stage. Since
the Chinese restriction act was en
forced the volume of white im
migration to California has been
greatly increased. This immigra
tion will not only turn labor into
does not depend upon that,
class of labor. After set
ting forth all the imaginary
evils which might come from the
restriction of Chinese immigration,
the writer cencludes: "If the
people of California would go on
prospering, and to prosper, they
must demand and obtain the re
peal of the act. Otherwise, their
industries will retrograde. Many
of them will be dwarfed to utter
insignificance, and some of them
will be blotted out and all will be
held in abeyance until such time
in the distant future, when Cali
fornia shall teem with an in
dustrious native population, which
shall be to the employer of that
day what the Chinese have been
to the employers of the present
day. The void created by the ex
clusion of the Chinese from our
state, will never be filled by im
migration from the Atlantic states
or from Europe.'
The argument of this writer is
the narrow and selfish one. The
changes have been rung on it for
the last ten years in our sister
itnto. Tim white immiorant who
"--"-- o
-works for somewhat higher wages
because he wants land, wants a
home, wants citizenship, "s in
jpvery way more desirable for the"
state than immigration which
wants none of these things. The
difference is a radicallone. Cheap
mongolian labor, for a fe-w indi
vwlnnlc wlin rln not care ;i Conner
for the advancement of the state,
so that their own private interests
can be promoted, alien labor which
iipvpp rnn lm naturalized. Or on
the other hand, labor at somewhat
higher rates, for a class of white
immigrants who will be incorpora
ted into the country, into its
citizenship and into its abiding
interests.

the state. Now these is a viu
difference between the two classes
o laborers. One offers compara
tively cheap labor, but does not
"want any permanent home here
and no investment of capital. It
maintains from first to Inl:in alien
attitude.
The other wants homes, a
permanent settlement and all the
advantages which the country will
afford for himself and children.
In short he wants to become an
American citizen as soon as possi
ble. His children refuse to be
recognized by any other national
ity than American. Th state

the writer cpioted seems to lament
that this class of immigrants now
going to that state want land and
houses, and will not therefore sup
ply the want of cheap labor, which
has been enlarged by the Chinese
restriction act, which the writer
thinks ought to be repealed. The
mischief which has been perpe
trated in this instance is that some
of the eastern papers have quoted
from this article as voicing the
public sentiment of California.
These views represent about a
thousand employers, hardly more.
The minority hastilways existed in
California. But such a view does
not. represent the normal and
healthv public sentiment of that
'State.
A hundred thousand Chinese on

at his home near Newark. New
Jersey, Oct. 20th. recalls August
20th, 1SG-1, when the ninth na
tional Democratic convention in
Chicago nominated him for presi
dent of the United States. ITow
long ago it seems! Twenty-one
states were represented. Scat
tered over the other fourteen were
men that McClcllan had com.
mantled still in armed argument
with their southern brethren. On
the. third day McClcllan got the
nomination bv a vote of 202.V to

dleton, then, and now, a promi
nent Ohio man, got the vice presi
dential nomination. The national
election came off on the Tlh of
November follewing: the issue
was not purely Republican, or
purely Democratic; it was "shall
the war go on?'' or, "shall the con
federate states be recognized?"
There were 233 votes in the elec

and Johnson got 212; McClcllan
and Pendleton, 21: of the popular
vole Lincoln had 2,210,007; Mc
