Mr. Stem in bit opening apcech fi x <-<1

pig tail mun wa* ju*t the thing for our
country ; in hi* second effort tbe aante
gentleman *> rather < aim—thinking it
our duty to help the poor (>letial ; that
the coat of our labor i 100 high and that
laboring men would learn to he more fru
gal if Chinete came over here in great
number*.
Mr. Van firmer rather upset hi* com
petitor'* reasoning, asserting that thia
< la*a had been a cure lo tbe land and tbat
they could be very easily pared. The
matter of cheap iabor he declared antago
nistic to our principle* and hoped tbe lime
we* not far distant when it would have no
advocates. in glowing term* he thanked
our lbpreMnutive in Congro**, Hon. A.
CurUn, for hit vote on the bill lately

Mr Scofield, In hit eloquent and faaci
natmg way held hi. listener* tja-ll bound,
dealt only in fact* and made a very con
vincing .peech. The comparison, a. made
by him, between tbe reialive support of
Cbineae laborer, and tbo*e of any other
, nationality, wa* a bomb thrown into bit
cnemie*' work* that played tad havoc.
Mr. le-alher# though brief, *poke right
to the point, arid It la aurmiaed that hla
opposition to tbe coming of the Mongolian*
had aonn-tbirig to do with the curt manner
in which he diapoaed of hia part of the di
