I represent not less than eighty thousand colored people. These with its in the South are our laborersnot exclusively or entirely. but they make up the great body of the laboring class of the South. While it would bo a llow and a grievous ijury to the laboring classes of the rest of this country to allow Chincse coolies unrestrained immigration to our country. to the Colored people of the South it would be a disaster and almost utter ruin. The Chinese laborer or cooly. as a general thing. as we all know. coies here without any family to support. and nature has adapted hitn to live on very little. he would tbrive on what the colored man would starve. He does and can afford to work for onehalf the wages which the colored man must have in order to get along.
