Perhaps t m fact that the colored man is a voter henad something to do with this change of opinion. Facts set mere theories at defiance. It is a sad mistake to say tha labor in this country is injured by the immigration of a working people. We have too many broad acres to till. too many forests to clear up. and too many waste places to make productive to be injured by any present possible increase of thrifty. healthy. and honest labor. But I hear some gentleman say that every 100.000 Chinese laborers that come here displace that many white men.
