What I greatly desire is precisely what I have attempted to state. to stop masses of these men coming and changing our system of labor and interfering with the peace of coniutmities. leaving alone the individual stray Chinaman who may coule over our border and remain by the desire of some citizen of America to relieve the burdens of his family or afford him needed hell). I ought to say perhaps that I am not so absolutely ignorant of the ectaracter of this labor and the troubles in California is might be supposed. from the fact that I reside near the Mississippi River. On two occasions of prolonged visits in California I have learned what I could of this subject. and have tried to discover what was the evil of this Chinese immigration. At the sime time I walked into the Bank of California and I saw behind the counter in a responsible position. as cashier or bookkeeper. I forget which. a Chinaman. with his long pigtail hanging down his back. respected by the president and all the officers of the bank and intrusted with their fullest confidence as they have long enjoyed that of the American merchants in hina.
