JUDGE HELLO'S VIEWS.
A Letter t the VorUlna;mii.
The following letter from the Hon. W. D. Kclloy,
Irlvlng Tile views upon the coolie labor question, will
)t read with interest : .
TO TUB WORKWOMEN OF miI.ADEI.rHI A.
ftetitleinen: Justice to you, In common with the
laboring people of the country at large, requires
we to invite your attention to the following state
ment: I regret the necessity that compels me to make
tLis communication, for 1 hare no taste for per
sonal controversy, and never engage in It willingly.
But it cannot always be avoided. Defamation may
fee pressed to a point at which, endurance ceases to
be a virtue and becomes a shame, as silence may
fee construed by the community Into admission of
the truth of falsehoods widely and persistently cir
culated by one who has hitherto enjoyed the confi
dence of the community. Yet, notwithstanding
this, were the criminal practices to which I am
&bout to refer intended only to affect my personal
nd political character, I would, in the faith that
mj daily life would amply refute them, treat them
with the silent contempt with which I have hitherto
treated such aspersions; but these falsehoods are de
signed and Intended to afiect your rights and inter
ests, as well as my character, and my duty to you
constrains me to expose them, loathsome as the
task may be.
In May last, while the tariff' bill was before Con
cress, the leading free traders of the country as
sembled in convention at Washington for the pur
pose of devising means by whicti the protective
provisions of the existing tariff should be repealed.
They found that though there were a few mis
guided Republicans in the House who favored free
trade, that the body of the party, constituting a
majority of the House, were in favor of sucli pro
tection as would at least secure to the laborers of
America our home market at the existing rates of
wages. Having, therefore.no hope that they could
induce the present Congress to establish tree trade,
they determined to try to elect a majority of anti
rrotectionists to the next Congress. Their conclu
sions were published to the country in formal edi
torial letters to their leading organs and in a brief
nummary through the Associated Press, ami will
doubtless be remembered by many of you.
Jn order to secure their object, they agreed to
Consider the question of free trade or protection as
the only issue in this Congressional contest, and
that if the Republicans in close districts nominated
j rotectionists, they would vote for the free-trade
candidate, though he were a Democrat, and that in
districts which are decidedly Republican and pro
tective, in which a free-trade Republican could be
induced to run as an Independent candidate, they
would, in compensation for this, exert their influence
to induce the Democrats to nominate no candidate,
and support the renegade Republican. In pursuance
of this programme, which was, as 1 have said, an
nounced to the country in May last, and which, if
successful, will in two years close half the work
shops and mines, and reduce the wages of every
workingman in the country, William li. Thomas is
an independent candidate for Congress in the
Fourth district, and the Democratic convention
Las nominated no candidate; and should ho bo
eiectrd, let his personal wishes be what they may,
le ilier have to unite with those who hive
ji,'i::...t ; for your destruction, or cheat and da
those who manipulated the Democratic con
tention, and thus secured him the remote possi
bility of election.
The importers and agents of foreign manufac
turers, who furnish the fuuds with which the war
against our tariff is maintained, know mo to be a
pronounced and extreme protectionist. They know
that as soon as the war closed I announced my pro
gramme for the future, and that it was most dis
tasteful to them, as It involved. the postponement
of the payment of the public debt, and the earliest
possible repeal of internal taxes, and the removal
of duties from all articles of food or raw materials
lor manufactures, such as tea, collec, spices, ivory,
chalk, paper stock, sulphur, argols, kryolite, and
an infinite number of tropical productions.
1 say that they know that such were the views I
entertain, and am constantly pressing upon the ear of
the country, for the war had scarcely closed before
1 proclaimed them iu a speech, of which more than
fcalf a million copies have been circulated in
pamphlet form. It was made in the House of
.Representatives, January 31, 180iJ, in favor of pro
tection to American labor, and I submit the follow
ing extract as an illustration of its spirit:
"1 am not anxious to reduce the total of our debt
and would, in this respect, follow the example of
England, and as its amount has been fixed would
not for the present trouble myself about its aggre
gate except to prevent its increase. My anxiety is
the tuxes it invoices shall be. as little oppressive
as possible, and be so adjusted that, while d tending
ear industry against foreign assault, they may add
nothing to the 'cost of those necessaries of life which
ive camud produce, and for which we must therefore
Ivck to other lands. The raw materials entering into
cur manufactures, which are yet unable to pro
duce, but on which we unwisely impose duties, I
would put into the free list with tea, coffee, and
ether such purely foreign essentials of life, and
would impose duties on commodities that compete
with American productions, so as to protect every
lecble or infant branch of industry, and quicken
those that are robust. would thus cheapen the ele,
mi nts of lij'e, and enable those whose, capital is eia
tnirktd in any branch of production to offer such vjfies
to Die skilled workman oj all lands as would steadily
tuui rapidly increase our numbers, and, as Is always
the case in the neighborhood of growing cities or
towns Of considerable extent, increase the return for
farni h'bor; this policy would open new mines and
quarries, build new furnaces, forges and factories,
and rapidly Increase the taxable property and taxa
ble inhabitants of the country."
In view of these circumstances, and tha fact that
the Fourth district of Pennsylvania is the greatest
manufacturing district iu the country, and that a
majority of its voters depend upon their labor for
their life, the undertaking of Mr. Thomas would
seem to be a desperate one. To succeed ho must
Lave the votes ot the workingnieu of the district.
With these against him his canvass would be hope
less from the start. How were these to be secured'.'
There was nothing in his personal history to arouse
the sympathy of workingnieu; tor, although lie is
abundantly rich, and has for more than thirty
years been a large purchaser of labor, he has at no
time, in auy ot their struggles, ottered them a
helping band or words of sympathy. It would not
do to proclaim the glittering fallacies of the freo-
trade school, ana euueavor 10 pemuaue uie intelli
gent workmen of the district that our government
is bound to allow importers to buy the productions
of labor where thev can buy them cheapest, and
pay but nominal duties upon them. No! His con
victions upon this subject, and his entanglement
with the Free Trade League must be concealed,
and there was therefore nothing which promised a
chance of success but the destruction of the couii
dence of the workingnieu of the district in his com
petitor, the present representative.
A more conscientious, a less reckless man than he.
before undertaking this work, would have inquired
whether facts existed by which it might probably
le accomplished. Hut to Win, li. Thomas, as
events have proven, this was a question of small
moment. With the reckless disregard of truth of
which 1 am about to convict him, he evidently
concluded that he could make all the facts he
needed, and that you do not remember the local
history of the past ten years, and are unable to de
tect a falsehood though it relates to your own inte
rests and the proofs are all before you. Reference
to the nauseous personal slanders with which he
garnishes his public speeches would be out of place
ere; nor will 1 pause to notice the rancorous but
ludicrously absurd falsehoods with which he has
crowded his autobiography, recanUy published,
with a tattering likeness of the author, un
der the title ot resolutions and speeches of
t.tiural Wm. B.Thomas and FJward D. Stokes,
Ksq., but may remark that having been printed for
. gratuitous distribution, it can be had at the street
corners, and may be accepted as a curiosity. My
purpone at this time is to bring to your attention
the falsehoods and forgeries perpetrated by Mr.
Thomas in his letter of September 1 to Science
Council of United American Mechanics.
This mendacious epistle appeared at length iu
most of the city papers ot the 2d lust. It purports
to have been written iu reply to a request fjr an ex
pression of his opinions ou the coolie question, but
iu almost wholly devoted to the falsification of my
Opinions ou the subject. To this end Mr. Thomas
cites a portion of a speech he had made as early as
the 18th of July last. It is as follows :
"However devoted Judge Kelley and his chosen
organs may be to the doctrine of a protective Unit,
they are in favor of free trade in at least one a tide
io which I am most decidedly opposed, f allude to
the traffic in coolie Chinese laborers. lvKlleY him
self is enthusiastically in favor of the introduction
jf this Bpecies of labor. In order to obtain the pub
lication of his views on this subject, the J ndge mm
aged to get himself interview ed by a reporter of his
organ, The Press, who reports his sayings at great
length in that paper of Augusts, Ki'ii."
Why was my name intioduced into a letter, the
Kile object ot which was to express the opiui u of
the wriu-r ou a direct question as to Ir.s ou opin
ions? Was it not iu the hope of securing his elec
tion to Congress by impressing the geiitU-iueu t
whom he wrote with the conviction that 1 was fal-n
to their interests and the pledges of mv Pt life".'
Hut you may say that the introduction of 111 y nam )
is a mere mutter of tante, and that two real q'ie
tion is, "is Mr. Thomas' statement irue?" And to
this question I answer, "No, and ha knew it to
be ftt.se when he wore it." Tho man docs not live
who Lus btfurd ljO bay on word in favor of tha
traffic In coolie Chinese labor." 1 have always
been opposed to It, and in 1802 assisted in framing
and passing a law to prohibit, if possible, its intro
duction into this country; and 1 again assert, and
will proceed to prove, that when William H.
Thomas penned that paragraph bo knew that he
was writing a libellous falsehood, in support of
which he could not produce a particle of honest
proof.
He had written to General John A. Logan and
other gentlemen with whom I had differed in the
debate on the tariff, begging thorn to send him
some evidence that I was in favor of coolie labor,
and I dare him to publish their replies. But more
than this, he had before him when he wrote that
letter, and professes to quote from it, my inter
view with Mr. Gilbert as it appeared in The Press
of Augusts!?. 18G9. not 1870. as he says. As he had
preserved it for aearly a year, and found it to be
his only resource, he had doubtless conned It well
enough to discover that it related to what 1 had
seen of the voluntary emigrants from China then
on the Pacific coast, and not to the question of the
importation or einplovment of coolies, and that its
whole drift was decidedly against it. What do you
think of the honesty of the man who, to induce vou
to vote for him that he may betray your interests,
iblishes the assertion that I am "enthusiastically
in favor of the importation of Chinese coolie la
bor," and attempts to prove it by a garbled extract
from a paper which he knew to embrace the fol
lowing passage:
"Question Is our commerce with China likely
to increase with much rapidity; and if so, what
will be the probable effect of its increase upon the
industries of the country?"
"Answer So much for the answer to
the lirst portion of your question. With regard to
the remaining portion, concerning the ultimato
effect of this rapid increase of our new commercial
relations upon the country at large, the answer IB
far more difficult. To state that answer satisfac
torily would necessitate a full interpretation of
the luturo policy ot tuo people 01 this country witn
regard to the Chinese laborer; and of course any
statement ot that Kino at tnis ttme would necessa
rilv be based upon the indefinite probabilities of
the future. This much, however, I may say: If we
are true to our Republicanism and cnrtstianity tne
effect must prove highly beneficial to both coun
tries. Hut if our people adopt the policy of selfish-
nets, and regard the Chinese as J ree-traders regard
all ifrkingmenas mere raw Material, to be con
sumed in the cheap production of goods, no one
can predict the consequences. Thus far tho
latter policy has prevailed, and you will
find China existing in San Francisco and
Sacramento as palpably as in Canton or Hong
Kong. In San Francisco the Chinese quarter is a
distinct and separate locality. Passing through
certain squares of Sacramento street, you are in the
Chinese market. Look into what store you will,
and the parties encased in it are Chinamen and the
customers Chinese. You visit either of two the
atres at night, and you find the actors are Chinese,
the audience or tne same nationality , and rue pi
a portion of the history of China, continued from
the last evening, and to be continued on the next,
and so on through the year. They have their gamb
ling saloons, and their resorts for the victims of
opium, witn tew exceptions, tne women 01 tneir
race are brought over as matters of commerce.
They are women from tho rivers, and not from the
interior ot cnina. xnuB tne uninese trom our wes
tern shores, as a class, retain their individuality
and their national characteristics; theu are by force
of circumstances a distinct and separate people; and if
as such they are to pcrvaac ine country, tuetr presence
among us will be a constant source of annoyance,
uisturoance anauangcr."
If to denounce a thing as a constant source of an
noyance, disturbance and danger, and as fraught
with consequences which no one can predict, is to
advocate it, then Wm. li. Thomas is a truthful and
honest roan, and has not attempted to swindle the
workingnieu of the Fourth district into voting with
the Free-Trade League. If he has the proof that I
have uttered one word in favor of the employment
of coolie or other laborers at wages lowor than the
average American rates, why does he not produce
it ? Having made tho assertion, why does he at
tempt to sustain it by falsehood and forgery ? If
there be proof he has it, for he has employed my
bitterest foes to trace the record of mv life step bv
step for the last thirty years, as is shown by refer
ence to events of that duto in his autobiography. If
thev have found proof on this point, let him pro
duce it and show honest men that they may with
safety rely upon his word.
"What!" I think I hear some of you exclaim,
"was Wm. B. Thomas lying when he told us what
vou said through ThelPress of the 10th and 23d of
July, 1G9Y" Yes, gentleman, Mr. Thomas cut that
entire story trom tho whole ciotn. 1 never uttered
or wrote one sentence of what, in his infamous let
ter to Science Council, he says 1 published In The
Press of Julv 10 and 23, 18ii. Nor does The Press
of either of these dates, (for I have examined them,
and caused others to do it) contain a word that
purports to have bian written by me, or to have
been extracted from anything I ever said or wrote.
There is not even a shadowy foundation for' the
storv. It is the coinage i f his own dull brain and
evil heart. From the 10;li of June to the 5th of
August, 18G9, 1 was absent from Philadelphia, and
on the days referred to by iur. xnomas 1 was not in
tho United States, or within telegraphic reach of
them, but was on board the steamer Oriflamme.
traversing the Pacific Ocean. Yet, when speaking
of me in this infamous letter, so deliberately pre
pared, and to circulate which he has expended so
much money, he says:
"He also speaks through his principal organ, The
Press, on July 10, 18G9, as follows: "
"Able-bodied Chinamen work in China for about
two dollars a month, and are glad to get that. It is
but fair to suppose that home labor is cheaper. Un
der the contracts by which they are brought from
China they are to work out their passage money at
four dollars a month. Allowing the contractor fifty
per cent, more than the employer, he can afford to
supply us with the best of first-class labor at six
dollars a month. This labor, it must bo remem
bered, is trained, docile, respectful, and in abun
dant supply. To this matter we
earnestly call the attention of intelligence offices
and labor agencies of this city. They have in their
power to revolutionize their own business and the
social life of the place, and the first man who breaks
the ground will reap the harvest."
And aeain. Julv 23:
"By the termslof the Chicago platform the poli
tical creed on which Grant was elected, and which
he stands bound under his own baud to execute
our doors are open to the oppressed of all people
Surelv the Mongol is one of them.
"Koopmanschoop has left for California, but will
be back again in October to break ground in New
York for the introduction of this most valuable and
richly productive labor. We trust that he will not
be allowed to depart without giving us an experi
mental, quota, at least, of his first cargo. Let us
not be behind New York In obtaining this new
labor, which is simply condensed weaitn. our
mines, our public works, our private grounds, our
homes are suffering for just what China offers us
from her teeming plains, burdened with the surplus
population ot centuries cheap, trained, docile and
honest labor."
Was there ever perpetrated a viler and more fla
grant forgery than this? But, amazed at this proof
01 tne recKtess audacity or Air. Thomas, some ot
you may ask whether he has mado no honest quo
tation from any paper or speech of mine on this
subject. If you do 1 reply in the negative. I have
examined every production of his that I have beeu
able to nuu, and they are scattered broadcast, with
out discovering a single honest quotation. The
nearest approach to ft is in the following Instance,
which reminds me of the story of the disputant who
undertook to prove the truth of atheism bv a Quota
tion from the Bible, and sought to make out his case
by referring to the last four words only of the text,
which sav: "The fool hath said in his heart 'There is
no God. " He not only tears a paragraph from its
context, but applies it to a subject to which it did
not refer, to imported coolies, though it was spoken
with reterence to free voluntary emigrants from
China, aud as all this would not make it nuite
answer his purpose, takes out its heart by cutting
irom it tne worus "admitting mis, 1 gay, tor argu
ment sake, though it U utterly false." That you
mav judge for yourselves I give his quotatiou as 1
Mud it in his letter, inserting these words in brack
ets in their proper place. You will see that in in'
troducinz the Quotation he admits that I was sneak
ing of the class of people whom I had Been engaged
in an infinite variety of pursuits, including com
merce, banking, the medical profession, and many
ot whom had acquired sum in tne use or our labor
saving machines. Omitting what X have put in
brackets, he said:
"After endeavoring to prove that the Chinese who
come to this country are not all day laborers, he
proceeded to urge the policy of Introducing coolie
labor, as follows: 'Kven upon the theorv that they
are coolies, mere day laborers, and will compete
with our laboring people, (admitting this, I say, for
argument sake, though it is utterly talse.) the ques
tion would arise; will you not have thesp competing
with you here where you may Americanize them,
where you may imbue them with your notions,
where you may show them the folly of worktng for
less than their labor is worth, or shall, they have
your steam engines, power looms, spinning jennies,
and all your other labor-saving apparatus, wi:h
which to work iu China at the rate of two to ten
cents per dav?' "
Thus, working men of Philadelphia, I have, as
briefly as 1 could, brought to your attention a pow
erful conspiracy against you, aud disclosed the
means by which the conspirators hope to induce
vou to exercise vour political power against Your
selves. In view of the facts I have presented, those
or you who knew nun in tne pa-t will doubtless
woiider whether the William B, Thomas who was
once president of the Corn Exchange and Colli) 'tor
of tho Port, could iu those d.v have been im
pelled bv personal malice or political ambition to
indulge in such practices as I have exposed; or
whether, as some of his friend charitably uugest,
tht acquisition of great wealth and the li itterlcg
attentions of a distinguished aspirant for the Presi
dency, through whose influence Mr. Lincoln was
induced to make him Collector of the Port, and un
der whose Presidency he expects to be Secretary of
tne Treasury, have unseated nts judgment and
left him a prey to his own vanity and the cupidity
of a body of needy flatterers who avail themselves
of his name and purse to advance their own evil
designs.
