Koopmanschap. the great Chinese importer. at that time proposed to take the Chinamen to the South to labor there. They were brought here by the thousand. and most of them were brought under labor contracts.

The coolies can not come. they have no money with which to come. the great mass of them are too poor to come. and the laboring people of China could not come unless they were brought here by labor masters. and most of them have been brought here by labor masters. A few who are here have saved up a little by some arrangement with the Chinese merchants who brought them here. and they can go back: to China and return. but I do not suppose that 20.000 Chinese have come to this country with their own money and of their own accord. The contracts made with them are most horrible. and the mode of securing them is most disgusting.
