I cannot see how that is to be accomplished. By the census of 1870 it appears there were in: this country 2.033.000 laborers. men and women. engaged in manufactures. Now. then. suppose this Chinese immigration is unrestricted. suppose that the citizens of that country were permittedto comehere without limit and that this population would flow inhere. as undoubtedly it would if there were no opposition to it. it lies in the nature of things. and in the relations of labor and social economy that it would drive out the laborers of our country. It would not elevate them. it could not do that. Where and how would they be elevated?
