The "Chinese question" is looming up in
the near future as one that is likely to give us
trouble, and it should therefore receive at this
time the careful and dispassionate consideration
of all thoughtful men. From a well-considered
article entitled "Our Impending Chinese
Problem," by Raphael rumpelly, we quote as
fallows:
Leaving out nil other questions, the capa
city of America for receiving emigration is at
present boundless, as compared with the capa
city of all the world to supply i.t. An eminent
English geographer has carefully calculated
that the two Americas are cupal le"of support
ing thirty-six hundred millions of inhabitants.
Room and subsistence are not wanting. The
capacity for absorption of labor is scarcely
more limited. The end of the long-continued
exodus from Europe cannot be far oil'; to
think otherwise is to believe unjustifiably in
a rapidly-approaching decay of the nations
beyond the Atlantic. Social and political re
forms raising the condition of the people,
especially that of the women of the lowest
classes, the increase in industrial prosperity,
and the continued drain of skilled labor to
foreign countries, seem to be silently working
throughout Europe towards the establishment
of a proper balance between population and
means of support.
The Chinaman in this country was for years
excluded from all participation 'in the develop
ment of the national prosperity, and was
grudgingly allowed to work only in those gold
. diggings which were considered worthless by
the American. But when a pressing necessity
arose for labor on the public works of Cali
fornia and Nevada, the Chinaman was found
to answer every need: nnd now, having be
come identified with ouV internal improve
ments, he has obtained recognition as a neces
sary element of population the execution of
great enterprises is based on his co-operation.
For weal or woe. the Pacific Railroad is uniting
more distant extremes than the two shores of
our continent.
The facilities for crossing the Pacific are
yearly increasing: and so is also the
knowledge of America in China. Unless
obstacles be placed in the way, immi
gration will increase rapidly; with additional
encouragement it will soon become enormous.
Having no rights, exposed to continued ex
tortion, treated with contempt and indignity,
branded as an idolator, and charged with
every vice by his scrupulously just, religious,
and virtuous neighbors, the Chinaman, feel
ing that he has no position here, seeks Cali
fornia as the pearl diver does the bottom of
the sea, and returns as soon as possible to the
free air of his native soil. Place these Chi
namen on the same footing with other immi
grants, and the result will be that, while
many will return to the home of their
forefathers, a large iortion will make this
the home of their descendants. This was and
is the case in the Dutch East Indies, where
they were less oppressed than in California.
Under these circumstances, if this immigra
tion should be proportionate to the necessity
for relief that exists in China, or to the capa
city for receiving it here; or, again, if it
should bear the same relation to the parent
population that the emigration from Ireland
and Germany bears Jo the home population
of those countries, the male adults of Mon
golian origin on this continent would soon
outnumber those of the European race.
When we consider that the prejudice of
race is with us a part of the foundation of
politics; that the moral characteristics of
various nationalities become important
parts of the framework on which
parties are constructed; that the op
posing armies which fight with the ballot,
and at times threaten the sword, are, to a
large extent, massed by races; when we con
sider this, and tlien turn to the prospect of a
homogeneous mass of people among us, their
male adulU outnumbering largely those of all
other component parts of the population and
having no sympathetic bond with us in their
language, traditions, or, so far as it goes for
anything, their religion; then the social and
political importance of this great problem
dawns on the niiud.
To the thinker who has come to look upon
the Americas as the birthright of the Euro
pean under the tuteluge of the Anglo-Saxon;
presenting the prospect of a hemisphere peo
pled with a new race built up .from the best
elements of the European, numbering more
than twice the present population of the
globe; a race whiea wi)i bo homogeneous, en
joying the most complete means of intercom
munication by steam and electricity, having
one anguage one f emu of ' government, an3
one idea of God; to him the startling possi
bilities involved in the problem before us
come as the discovery of neulectel rlnt
which may invalidate the results of years of
calculation.
If the probabilities -of the case boar any
proximate relation to the possibilities, the
teeming populution of our hemisphere two or
three centuries hence may have more Chings
and Changs in their genealogical trees than
Smiths and Browns; for, other things being
equal, the predominant blood will be that of
ihe race best able to maintain an undimin
ished rate of increase; and the vitality of the
Chinese nation during a constant struggle for
life seems to bespeak for it at least equally
favorable prospects in less crowded homes.
With an emigration from China standing In
the BAiue ratio to the home population that
the driiin from Germany holds to the popula
tion of that country, we should have an influx
of more JJian one million Chinese yearly.
Ten years Of this rate would place upon our
preponderance of male adults of Mon
golian blood over those of all the families of
man among us.
The perception of this possibility cannot
but awaken in the mind of the.true Amurican
the gravest thoughts. The social, political,
nnd ethnological questions involved are of
transcendent, importance.
Ihe question of the prohibition or the
heavy taxation of Chinese immigration is
almost sure to lie one of the earliest and most
bitterly fought political issues of the Far
West. The hostility to the Chinese of the
white laborers, especially of the Irish, is
already beginning to show itself openly in
the most violent acts of intimidation. But it
is not difficult to foresee that any legislation,
which has for its object the suppression of
any social element or force that has once
shown itself to be a necessity in rapidly car
rying forward the system of internal improve
ments on wnicn a large part of our material
industry rests, must ultimately fail.
We may therefore assume that the recogni
tion of the necessity of Chinese labor in the
Far West insuros an influx of Chinese pro
portionate at least to me extent 01 tne great
system of public works which will be needful
for the growth of the Western States and
Territories. We shall see, further on, that
these Asiatics arc obtaining strono foothold in
almost nil other branches of labor, because
they answer the requirements better than any
other class of people. It is therefore not im
probable that they will nnd their way, in large
numbers, to this side of tho Rocky Mountains.
Is it probable that the party warfare of the
country will leave this enormous quantity of
possible pol. Ileal lorce in the latent condition
pertaining to aliens
Gaining the right to vote means gaining
:i: . i. i . e i
i;iii.t-iinmp, lutj ruiuovni 01 uisquanricauons,
and the protection ol their distinctive inte
rests nnd customs to a degree proportionate
to the number of their votes. Having ob
tained these, the Chinese emigrant will be
come, beyond a doubt, a permanent citizen.
With this prospect before us, it may not be
uninteresting to glance at the characteristics
of this race, both in countries to which they
nave emigraieu, anu in tneir own nome.
Twenty years of contact between the two
races in California have done little towards
removing the prejudice against the Chinese.
They have poured steadily into and out of
the country, but, surrounded by barriers,
they have been forced to form a world of
their own. Within this some fifty thousand
men nave been thriving, while many of them
have mnassed large fortunes. Many an enter
prise, too, has swamped in failure, which
Mould have given brilliant returns but for the
tyranny of white workmen who prevented the
employment of cheap Chinese labor. This
tyranny is niej with at every step: from the
court-room, where the Chinaman is denied
the right of giving evidence in mixed cases,
to the "gold diggings," where white rowdies.
acting as self-appointed collectors, levy the
mining tax, which is never assessed upon
Americans. Recent! v, however, various
manufacturers, farmers, and others, braving
mat. wiia oeast, tne Irish mob, have begun
to employ Chinese labor, and with such suc
cess that capitalists see in it the sinew and
muscle ol the Far West.
A writer in the Oca-land Monthly, March,
ISC'.t, says of the Chinamen:
'What they want Is employment and such pay as
will support tliem ami leave something over to send
bark to the father ami mother, or to the wife and t.hn
children, left at home. So accustomed have they
always been to jrive a full and honest day's labor to
muse w uu mive nireu tliem. that t lev exneet to tr vn
their employer the service of their muscle and their
skill (luring all the hours of the clay, only asking a
reuHonublo time for meals, together with the atipu-
loiin nua micu ineil worn la liuutv
The owners of woollen factories nraise them
as the best of workmen. The officers and
foremen of the Central Pacific Railroad on
which some ten thousand Chinamen nr said
to be at work speak no less highly of them.
Their work is full and honest, no laggin-2 and
story-telling, no whisky drinking, and few
ngnts. Overseers declare that they can drill
more rock and move more dirt with China
men than with an equal number of men who
claim this kind of occupation as their spe
cialty. What they lack in bodily vigor is
made up in persistency and steadiness.
Indeed, California is just beginning to feel
how suicidal her course towards Asiatic labor
has been, and she is finding that her material
prosperity is increasing apace with the inno
vation upon that policy. The Chinese are
found now in woollen, paper, and powder
mills; in the borax works; in the hop planta
tions, fruit orchards, and vineyards; following
the reaping machines on farms, and working
the salt-pits on the coast; doing almost uni
versally the cooking, and engaged in hundreds
of branches of industry that would be impos
sible without their cheap lafcor.
Tho sure result of this will be that, in a few
years, the small savings of these workmen
will, by accumulation, transform the coolie of
to-day into the capitalist, contracting tq build
railroads, owning large farms or factories and
lines of whips, and making great commercial
combinations. This is certain, for no people
on the face of the earth advance so unswerv
ingly in the accumulation of capital; and in
its investment from childhood upward they
combine the shrewdness of the Jews with the
many-sidedness of the Yankee. What the
Jews have been in banking, the Chinese may
easily become in general commerce and in
dustry on the Pacific coast.
The llioerile Magazine for July presents
an interesting variety of reading matter for
young people, including one of Hans Chris
tian Andersen's delightful sketches. The
present number is finely illustrated, and is
fully up to the usual standard of excellence.
DICTIONARIES.
How They are Marie The (iermnn "VV'or
lerbueli." The rU Mill (huMe says:
"The great 'Worterbuch, or dictionary of
the German language, set on foot by the
Brothers Gi-imm, has now reached about ihe
midway of its course towards completion. It
is seventeen years since the first instalment
appeared, and its progress has been carried ou
continuously and methodically ever since.
The work itself forms an important era not
only in the history of German literature, but
in that of other European nations also; and
it is not uninteresting to glance back over
Home particulars of its origin and execution,
as we find them stated in a recent number of
the German periodical the Garteuliube.

At the suggestion of the publishing firm
of Wiedmaun, they undertook the compila
tion cf ao, exbaufttiye dictionary, whjeh. Wa,s

in German literature since the time of Luther

changes of custom may have produced them

fains with which the material had been col-j

contributed to German literature since tho
era of the Reformation. They then made ap-j
iiikjuiiuii to a vast iiumoer oi siuuents mrougll
out Germany, requesting them to read such
or such books carefully, and annotate or ex
tract for the purpose in hand. Many offered
their services spontaneously; anl it was a
proof of the national interest excited by the
project that among tho volunteers were lite
rary men of the most diverse opinions, pro
vinces, professions, and tastes. Jacob Grimm,
in his preface to the first published part, enu
merates no less than eighty-three coadjutors
in this" way. Then special directions were
forwarded to each. On a piece of paper of
prescribed size and shape he was to set down
each word which struck him as employed by
his author in any way unusual, characteristic,
or for any reason worthy of attention; and
with it the passage, prose or verse, in which
it had occurred.
"After a while a mighty mass of material
poured into headquarters, from east, west,
north, and south about a million of billets
in all, it is roughly computed. To sort them
was tho next business, and to arrange them
under alphabetical heads. Two men were
thus employed during a period of six months,
working from early morning to late evening,
collecting for each word the various citations
applicable to it, and fastening them in a bundle
together, then placing the whole in two
gigantic chests ready for the further process
of deciding the proportion of quotations and
authorities to be retained, and tracing chrono
logically and otherwise the shades and transi
tions of meaning. The genius and taste of
individual writers had to be considered as in
fluencing the value to be attached to their
testimony. Of the authors in the sixteenth
century, with which the range of investigation
begins, the greatest weight is attached to
Luther, to Hans Sachs, and to the remarkable
satirist Fischart, who, indeed, for this early
period of the literature, is considered the
most valuable of all. The seventeenth cen
tury, a period of stagnation, or rather of
retrogression in Germany, owing to the ett'ects
of the Thirty Years' War, furnishes no more
eminent authorities in the use of language
than Gryphius, Opitz, and Lenau; while for
the eighteenth century the foremost rank is
assigned to Lessiug, Jean Paul, and Schiller.
On the whole, the three authors most care
fully collated and analyzed for the purpose of
determining the changes and legitimate uses
of the written language are Fischart, Luther,
and Goethe.
. "For a time much doubt was entertained as
to the practical success of the scheme. It was
thought too vast in its proportions to be car
ried out by men who, like Jacob Grimm and
his brother, had other pressing business avo
cations to press their time, and the appear
ance of the first part of it in print was some
thing of a surprise to the skeptical. In lS."t,
however, a whole volume was completed and
published; in 18C0 a second made its appear
ance; in 18(12 a third Soon after this Jacob
Grimm, the chief prompter and manager of
the undertaking, died; he had been preceded
a short time before by his brother, his insepa
rable companion throughout almost the whole
of life, but hnd labored on with undiminished
energy till, while occupied with the word
'Frueht,' he too was called away.
"Happily, the impetus given by these famous
scholars did not die with them. Their under
taking was carried on with vigor by contri
butors they had enlisted in the task. Hilde
brand of Leipsic, Wiegand of Giessen, and
Moritz Heyne of Halle, have had the chief
hand in it since. Professor Hildebrand is
now busily occupied with the letter K.
"No similar work had previously existed in
the literature of any other nation. The Great
Dictionary of the Paris Academy came nearest
to it, perhaps, in importance; but then the
Paris dictionary was a record of words in
legitimate use only a kind of statute book of
the French language.
