President. I do not intend to go to any length on this subject. except to say that I believe the laws are now sufficient. and I can not believe that we have agents to enforce those laws who are so cruel and wicked. as is said that they will deliberately turn back those who are entitled to come in -As to the boycott that is going on. nothing you can do here will present it. It is not the coolies who are doing it. It is the higher class. They are crying "China for Chinamen. Asia for the Asiatics." That we will have to meet. We may sell them some cotton cloths now. South Carolina may manufacture some and send them to China. but the day is not very far distant when there will be no market in China for cotton goods from the United States.
