IN WORKERS BUSY
Ko Lima v iiiiiii, ii.iiiuii in mum, in ururr to t'lt'itr nil uiu
lamls ot western Oregon. In taking this view ot the
subject, he has shown that his political range of vision is
very short and narrow. Like manv other statesmen, es
pccially of the stand-pat element, cheap labor appeals to
too doctor as an economic advantage.
As one born, if not raised under the British flag, that
esteemed gentleman is possessed of the idea that labor is
?i commodity which the buyer should have the privilege of
buying in the cheapest market. This has been the accep-
im Diuisii economic tucory uiiiii recent years, u is mo
idea of plutocracy in this country. It is the principle the
capitalists of this country have 'been contending for and
arestill fighting for. tt is the old mud-sill theory of the
laborers social and political status.
In this country as well as in England, the laborer, is no
longer recognized as a laborer only, but. as a citizen and
voter also. Because the laborer has forced the issue, wo
arc beginning to admit, without argument that what, in
jures or degrades him as a laborer, impairs and degrades
nun as a sovereign citizen.
The political effort of this nation is being directed
towards building' better citizens out of normal uieai and
women, instead of destroying them to make cheaper labor
ers for the profit of employers. Wo would say to Dr.
Withycoinbe that the world is ceasing to lobk upon the
laborer as a belt, wheel or rod of a machine.
ITr. Withycoinbe may not know he nmv refuse to ad
mit it but the Chinese agitators who came from Califor
nia were possessed'of gi eater humanity niul political wis
dom than he, and were"" inspired by a desire to prevent the
"peonizing" of the Pacific coast, and we should honor
them for their humane and heroic efforts.
i 1 il. i? ?- 11i1 n -"
-Yr me nine uv. linycomoe reiers to v. iiinese were
plentiful all over the coast. They were not only employ
ed in clearing land, but in many other oeciipsitious. T'hey
were employed in mining, logging-, railroad building, fann
ing, domestic service and in fact in every pursuit except
perhaps flic building trades. Wherovora white man or
woman went to seek labor, they had to compete with and
labor by the side of the Chinese.
The standard of living of the Chinese was far below
that of the white citizen and he therefore could work
cheaper and his wages fixed the scale, and the white man
had to come down to that wage level, even though it in
volved a change ot the white man's standard ot living,
If Dr. "Withycoinbe knows anything of the history of
mauKiuu lie ougiit to Know that when tiie laboring people
of our nation arc put in competition with unlimited num
bers, of laborers with a lower standard of lirinir. that such
competition will be destructive of the superior race, lie
ought also to Know that it one race is required to labor
with an inferior race in morals or intellect, that the super
ior race will suffer and degenerate like the poor whites
of the south did from the competition of African slave
labor, the effect of which is still seen in the descendants
of those poor whites of the southern states.
At the time the doctor refers to the'anfl-Chinesc agi
tationOregon was a comparat iveiy poor state. The sons
and daughters of the farmers oftciisought emplovment in
the towns, on the railroads and m the mills. If the daugh
icrs sought domestic
had to compel
ploynicnt on th
ers mm irucK wniKers, ami laoorers, and the s'liue was
true of other employments. The wages paid the Chinese
was from one dollar to one dollar and twenty five cents a
day. And their labor was efficient, equal in many occu
pations to white labor.
Jiut the people of this coast rebelled at the dollar stand
ard of living, which would be standard of living on this
coast today, if not still lower, but for the efforts of the
agitators so-called. Jf the Chinese should have contin
ued to come to this state and clear lands, they would have
entered every other employ nient they could, and 'that
would have meant a Chinese standard'of living and race
amalgamation with them.
And for what would this price have been paid ? Por
a lew more acres of forest destroyed, a lew more acres in
cultivation. Better far that the forest primeval should
remain the home of the wild beast, than to be changed at
such a cost.
I Jr. Withycoinbe has probably spoken sinccrelv and
honestly, but has said enough to show that his political
ideas are those of the past, and not of tho present. Jle
is not in sympathy with trie struggles of the laboring peo
ple of the world for a higher standard of living for them
selves and families, and a better citizenship, but rather
wan uieir exploiters.
