Almost every Chinaman in the United States came here as a slave or under a contract. bound for a longer or shorter period. The contract is made in China. and the most onerous conditions imposed. The emigrant. as he is called. but more properly the slave. is consigned to one of the six Chinese companies in the United States. who see that the conditions of the contract are complied with to the letter. They have a system of government among themselves. by which they are enabled to enforce their mandates. So stringent and exacting is their code and so strictly is it administered that there is but little doubt that manyof these creatures have suffered death as the penalty for its violation. and this. too. in direct defiance of our laws.
