The Chinese problem is being discussed in England. in France. in Russia. in the English and French and Dutch colonies of the East Indies. by the ablest magazines of the world. and by the foreign press. I have here copied at considerable length an article from the London Times. which is so important that I am almost tempted to read it. wherein they show the effect of the Chinese upon the English colonies and in the United States. and say that in their belief. so far as the United States is concerned. there is a graver crisis arising from the influx of these people than there was from the slavetrade.and the abolition of slavery. The Revue des Deex Aoudes. the great French magazine. says with regard to this matter: If nothing happens to cheek this movement before the end of this century China winl have cornploteiy overrun California. end. pushing forward her waves of emigrants. she will spread toward the rich and ferhle plins of the center of the American continent Only a war of extermination can then take from iem what they will have peacefully conquered by the sole force of numbers. work. and slow. patient economy. What elci a war will be one can easily imagine. and this new conflict of rates wilt attain proportis hitherto unknown. And again. the same magazine says: It is evident that whenever the Chinaman becomes a permanent resident. the invasion will increase by giant strides and the American population will disappear in these ompact masses of Asiatics. Without the reverse current ]ioniward California woul have been long ago a Chinese colony. Aside from the question of foreign influence and as to its influence upon California.
