No one can rightly judge of this class of Chinese by the educated. intelligent Chinese officials and travelers or even the occasional enterprising Chinese laborers seen in the Eastern States. The vast population in China is composed of many classes. There is the educated. intelligent. and wealthy class. and there is the miserable. degraded. vicious class. who live in vice. squalor. destitution. and starvation all their lives. Of the latter class mainly arethe coolies imported into this country by the Chinese Six Companies. Their condition in this country is no better than that of slaves. They go where they are sent. and do what they are told to do by their masters.
