And it is because they want him that the Chinanan is in California today. I have talked with laborers there and they have told me that men who go to that country under the impression that there are fields of employment open to them are comlelled to leave because the Chinese laborer is preferred. Ife is nmore docile. more servile. and answers better the purposes of that class of employers who. with the importers of contract labor. would prefer slaves if they could get them. I know that the laborers of the Pacific coast are asking for this legislation. but itis your soealled. better classes. it is your gentlemen in your banks. in your hotels. and in your countinghouses. your mining and railroad owners. that employ the Chinaman. And Chinese labor is not always cheap labor.
