Well. the ladys sewingmachine. that she takes into her parlor and uses sometimes as a recreation and sometimes as a task. supplants the necessity of the sewingmaid and thereby diminishes the compensation or the rate of wages of the sewingmaid. Your reapers that traverse the vast fields and savannas of tfalifornia. all your labotsaving machinery. indirectly. not as directly. affect the laborer.. 13utmy opinion is that this is a thing temporary in its nature. Tret the incoming immigrant as he ought to be treated. give him the protection of law. and make his home sacred to him. and my judgment is that it will require a very limited period of time in which to solve the whole problem. A man comes from a distant country where labor is lower than here. he does not adopt the lower scale of labor if he is skilled to occupy the higher grade. nor does it diminish the compensation of labor unless the supply is beyond the demand. But I insist that this labor -in California of Chinese has advanced that State a century beyond where she would now be had she been deprived of it.
