ON SUNDAY MORNING, BEP. I^TH. • A keen lawyer had Christ under a cross examination and this was one of the ques tions. Christ’s answer enlarged tho idea of neighborhood, and the idea has been enlarg ing ever since. It once seemed a figure of speech to call peoplo on the other sides of the earth our neighbors, but nations are so rapidly intermixed. Steam power from South ampton t,o New' York, from China to San Francisco, and iron tracks across the conti nents andi cables under the seas, make tho* world oire neighborhood. Is the Chinaman, a neighbor? Does he belong to the race of which God is the Father? Is ha a brute or an immortal? How ought you to treat him? Will he help or hurt us? These important questions are pressed up on the attention of this Nation and decide them we must, and decide them we will. It will be as agitating question in Brooklyn as iu San Francisco. I want to have you start right in your opinions, and for that reason 1 give you the result of my summer observa tion in California, where the Chinese popula tion has become a tremendous factor. Arriving in San Francisco Saturday, Au gust 7th, I had been but a few moments in the hotel when the highest officers of tho State called upon me in the interest of the anti-Chiucse sentiment. From that time and for many days from morning till night there was scarcely a half hour in which, by com mittee or document or letter, the subject was not presented. The Chinese quarters, call ed Chinatown, are shown to most Eastern people who get to California. The papers this week say that President Ilayes was shown Chinatown, but the roughest part was covered up so that he should be deceived as to bow bad it was. No one can say that of my inspection, for it was the one interest of the gentlemen who took me there to make me see the worst side. The five gentlemen who took me there were openly opposed to the Chinese emigration. Dr. Hears, a most obliging gentleman, the President of the Board of Health, went with me at the request of the Mayor, and there is no man on the continent more pronounced against tho Chi nese than Dr. Hears. So I saw Chinatown at its worst. It is bad enough, filthy enough, dreadful enough; but underground New York is 50 per cent, worse than underground San Francisco. New York American vice is five-fold more brazen than San Francisco yellow-covered vice. The difference in mal odor is the difference between whisky and opium ; and the malodor of whisky is a hundred fold worse than the malodor of opium. The drowded tenement houses of New York are more fearfully crowded than the Chinese quarters. As I told them face to face in their Grand Opera-house, if their three hun dred police, together with an extra force of five hundred police sworn in from among their most worthy citizens, would, in the name of God, and in tho strength of the law, go out to do their whole duty, in one night they could break up the last iniquity of Chi natown. Do you tell me that- 280,000 law abiding people of San Fraucisoo could not put down the 20,000 bad people? From my observation this summer, and ten years ago, T give my opinion, an opinion in which thou sands of the merchants and clergy and best people of California agree, that o£ all the for eign population who have come to our shores within the last forty years, none have come more cleanly, more industrious, more sober, more courteous, more harmless, more genial than the Chinese. I have in my possession a long list of affidavits by the first farmers, merchants, manufacturers and professional gentlemen of California, testifying as to their | integrity and hard work, and ingenuity anil love of good order. They have no equals as laundrymen, and in many of the homes I was told that they had no rivals as house help. One of them, I was told, would do the work of three ordinary servants. It is objected of them that they underbid other workmen, being able to live cheaper than other nationalities. Mistake 1 They get higher wages in many departments. No such wages are paid in Brooklyo for domes tic services as are paid the Chinese servants in California. So far from hurting the com pensation of others they have made possible vast enterprises which have given employment to other people. But suppose that in any case they did underbid. If you turn them out on that account then you ought to turn out all those people who work the sewing machine, or reaper or hayrack, since these machines underbid tens of thousands of hard working people who toil only with the hand. But the fact that refutes all of these stories about the ruinous competition of the Chinese is that wages have been higher in California than in any State of the Union. When there shall be twenty thousand Chinese in New York and Brooklyn, as chore will be, there will be just as large wages for all our people and more prosperity than now, for then in stead of one million of people, we shall have three or four millions. Again it is objected that the Chinese do not spend their money where they make it. False again! They pay rent in San Fran cisco for residences, wash-houses, and so on. $2,400,000 yearly. Would you not consider $2,400,000 added to the income of Brook lvn a prosperous addition? The Chinese pay to the State of California a tax of over $4,000,000. They paid in custom-house U ties to tjie United States ie one year $8,404. 379. Now, take back that falsehood about Chinese not paying any money where they make it. Ido not wonder that many of them send home their money and do not make large investments i;i this country. How much of your money would you invest in a land where you were not allowed citi zenship, and might any moment have to suf fer outrage or expatriation? Ido not wo : ■ der that the}' have their bones sent back to China. It you and I were treated as badly in Brooklyn as the Chinese have been treat ed in California, we would not want to be buried within 3,000 miles of the place where such indignity was possible. We won; i nr jguo : If they do such things to us while we j have our arm strong for defence, what may .they not do when Wc oecome helpless? But FOR THE PEOPLE. what an inconsistent tiling t is for us to com plain that they send their money home 1 Have we not for the last twenty years been complimenting and praising the German and Irish serving maids for that, denying them selves almost every comfort, they have sent so much of their wages to their fatherland? Is it not to their everlasting, credit that they arc so kind to the old folks at home that they send their wages to Ireland and Ger many? Perhaps you have not been told what is done with much of the wages which the Chinese send home. Hear it, and blush that you have ever derided them so unjust ly. Their parents in China are serfs, the subjects of a base feudal system, and much of this money goes to liberate these parents from bondage. I "have this from a mandarin high in authority. If your father and moth er were in bondage, would you not pay some thing to set them free? Do you not sup pose the Chinese love luxuries as much as you? Shall their magnificent self-denial for others be the cause of their assault ? liut, it is objected, they use such close economy. Well, that is a crime of which our nation is not very much guilty. I think in this we may learn something from the Chinese. They are not only economical, but they pay all their debts, two peculiarities for which, of course, tlfey ought to be punished. What a low order of civilization these Chinese have, for they work all the time, live within their means, and pay all they owe! Such habits ought to be put a stop to. It is objected that they are Pagans, and that their dress is so very different. What do you refer to now ? The Chinese queue ? Whj% George Washington wore a queue, Benjamin Franklin wore a queue, John Hancock wore a queue, our great grand fathers wore queues. Anything that Wash ington, and Franklin, and John Hancock, and our revered grandfathers did must have been respectable. Besides that, again and again, our American dress lias been more absurd than the Chinese apparel. The crinoline mon strosities of twenty years ago, the coal-scuttle bonnets of our grandmothers, the powdered hair arid knee-buckles of our grandfathers, and at different times the elaboration, the over-topping and appalling mvstery of woman’s head-dress in our time ought to make us lenient with Mongolian eonspicuities. As to their other religious peculiarities—-for their dress has a religious significance—can it be that in this country a man’s religious belief is to be interfered with ? Do you suppose the Pilgrim Fathers and the Huguenots and Revolutionary Fathers would have endured what they did in behalf of religious liberty in this country if they had supposed their descendants would ever make the style of religious belief the ground of residence or citizenship ? If our government is to stand, the Joss-house of tlie Chinese is to be as secure and undisturbed as the Cathedral of the Catholic, the meet ing-house of the Quaker, or tlie church of the Presbyterian. If the choice must be between a religion that persecutes, and insults, and stones a man be cause of the color of his skin or the length of his hair, of the economy of ills habits and the industry of his life, on the oue hand, and the Paganism which bears patiently all this abuse, keeping right on with its work—ifl must make a choice between such a religion and such a Paganism, give me Paganism. If yon have a superior religion, in a kindly and persuasive way present that superior religion. And this brings me to tell you 'what I saw arid heard of the glorious work being done among the Chinese in San Francisco. My first Sabbath morning I spent in a Chinese mission church, and had there the opportu- nity and joy of telling these Mongolians o! Him who came, not an American Christ, nor a Chinese Chirst, nor German Christ, nor a French Christ, nor a Spanish Christ, nor an Italian Christ, but the round world’s Christ. There they stand this morning, doing a work renowned in heaven, though little appreciated on earth —the Presbyterian Mission of Dr. Loomis, the Methodist Mission on Washing ton street, the Congregational Mission near the Park, the Episcopal Mission and other great charities. The Chinese make grand Christians, and there will be live hundred million of them yet, when according to the prophecy the land of Sinim shall surrender to the one God. Will not this generation of Christians seem small enough and contempt ible enough in the future, when it shall be found out that these Mongolians were brought here, not so much by the stigmatized six Chinese companies, but by the God of the Bible to have them Christianized, and then multitudes of them sent back for the evange lization of their native country. Now, my friends, these Chinese are either onr inferiors, or our equals, or our superiors, if they are inferior, ( here is no danger that they will be come our masters. Flat heads cannot rule high foreheads. Stupidity will never dominate large brains. If they are our equals, then they ought to have equal rights. If they are our superiors, then we cannot afford to insult them. Do you know who these men are ? Their ancestors have forgotten more than we ever knew. Education is far more general in China than in America. You cannot find a China man that cannot read and write, while you can find tens of thousands of Americans who cannot write their own name. Ages before our nation heard of it the Chinese invented printing, paper, making gun-powder, the mariner’s compass and porcelain. Five hun dred years before Christ came Confucius anticipated the Golden Rule, and when asked to compress into one sentence a directory for human life, said, “Do not unto others what you would not have them do unto you.” I think the Chinese are God’s favored na tion. Why ? Because lie has made more * them than any other kind of people. More over, He lias made China the wealthiest of all lands. Oh, the ruby, and the amethist, and the porphyry, and the turquoise, and the jasper, and the agate, and the sapphire, and the lapis’ lazuli, and the crystal! Enough precious stones to build the four walls of heaven ! Oh, the gold, and the silver, and the copper, and the salt, and the coal, and the iron that lie waiting for the cellar door of her great hilts to be opened? Oh, the rosewood, and the ebony, and the camphor, and the j cypress, and the varnish-tree, and the cedars, and the ivory, waiting to be transformed into ne cabinet-work of the nations 1 Oh. tho wheat, Dd the barley, and the mango, and the pine apple, and the orange, and the per simmons, and the cocoanuts, and tlie rice enough to provide pudding for all the earth, and tea enough to refresh alt i-afjyms. You stupid man to begrudge tlie Chinese room here! Why, it all implies a permission to go there. Before many years there will bo more Americans in China than Chineso in America. The question all over China will be, “ Shall the Americans go ?” If Ameri cans went to California by emigrant wagons When it took six months, do you not sup pose that New Yorkers and Long Islanders will in great multitudes go to China when tliev can go in five weeks? It is the design of Providence to put all the nation on wheels, moving them East, West, North, South. The tide happens to be setting this way, but after one world is tolerably populated the tide will set the other way toward Ireland, toward Germany, toward Switzerland, toward China. All the natives will intermarry until far down In the future a man will have the blood of fifty nationalities in bis arteries, and there will be only one nation left occupying the five continents—one grand homogeneous, grand hearted, all climated, five-zoned, world-en circling Christian nation. They broke to pieces at tlie Tower of liable ; they will come together at tlie throne of Christ. Under the shadow of one they were confounded, under the light of the other they will be harmo nized. Again it is objected that tho Chinese who come to this country arc mere slaves under tlie bondage of the Six Chinese Emigration Companies—Sim-Yup Company, King-Chon Company, Sang-Wo Company, Wing-Yung Company, llop Wo Company, Yan-Wo Company. Now, say the two political plat forms, we don’t want any slaves of such com panies introduced here. Hear this one fact: tiie Six Chinese Emigration Companies give free passage to these Chinese, they contract ing with the Companies that they will work : t out after they get here. This is as honor able and righteous as any contract ever made in New York or Brooklyn. I want to go to Italy to study art, and have not the money to go with. You say : “ I will pay all your expenses, if all the pictures you make the first year in Rome you give me.” Right! Is it not just as right for the Six Chinese Com panies to say: “You are poor, and I will give you clothing, and outfit, and passage and food across the Pacific Ocean, on condi dion that for a certain number of months or years you will give me all you make.” That is just before God and all reasonable men. The Chinese who come to this country are no more slaves of#he Six Companies than } T ou lawyers are of the clients who give you a retaining fee, than 3’ou builders are the slayes of the capitalists who prepay you for under taking a job. These Chinese have only been prepaid before embarkation, and are now working it out. The Anti-Chinese planks in the political platforms are a lying swindle on the credulity of this nation. I tell you people of the Atlantic coast that this Chinese scare is the most groundless and absurd humbug that UsrS been practiced on the American people. After twenty-five years of emigra tion, as compared with the enaigr&tlou of other i nationalities, it is the saow flake oa a aea. Do not he afraid they will overcome us. The Chinese Government is ©boosed to tho departutfe of'her people, and at tjie slow rate they have, been’qoming, conquered with other 1 llaifirinalities, they will never trouble us with tlihir number;). . " ... What a,pitiable thing it is that the two great political parties had, for the sake qf jetting the Electoral vote of California, put an anti-Chinese plank, thus insulting the lar gest nation 1 God ever created. I was not surprised at the Democratic party, because they have always said that the color arid race question was a reasonable question. But when I saw the Republican party, which had fought a four years’ horrible war for the sake of establishing* that all colors before God and the law had equal rights, when I saw that party surrender that National principle which they had purchased with the blood of 500,000 men, and widowhood and orphanage, all the land over, making a dif ferent regulation for the yellow man from what they had made for the black man, I said of that party, “ Her scepter is gone.” The simple fact is this : In 1784, nearly a century ago, the American flag first appear ed in a Chinese port. Ever since we have been begging the Chinese people to come out and come over and be sociable and neigh borly. In* 1844 the Government of the Uni ted States said practically : “ Oh, you dear Chinese ! Do come over and see us. Come and bring your work with you.” In 1858 we practically said: ‘‘Oh, you dear, dear Chinese, we can’t live without you. Do, do come and see us and live with us.” In 1868 we sent Mr. Burlingame, a skillful Embas sador, to say practically : ‘‘ Oh, you dear, dear Chinese, you have no idea how much we think of you! You are oil our minds day and night. We dream about you.” Mr. Burlingame acted so pleasantly that he has been deified hy the Emperor of China, and has become one of the gods of that Na tion. The Chinese said, “Will you protect us ?” “ Oh, yes, you shall not only be pro tected, but you shall be welcomed. You shall worship what god you will. Dear me. if you will only come we will do anything to make you feed at home.” Overpersuaded and against all their national habits they came. But finally the pot-house politicians got hold of the question and stirred up against the Chinese tiie hoodlum of San Francisco, the most accused population with which any city was ever afflicted. Kearney their archangel. And the Chinese are mal treated as no foreign people have been ; brick batted and 3iain in the streets ; as no other Nation, made to pay tax for the privilege of entering the country; after arriving here, made to pay a tax to a Government which refuses to defend them; taxed for street cleaning, while not one dollar of it was spent on their Chinese quarters. In other words, our United States Government, in the sight of God and the Nations, broke its treaty. , Eight hundred thousand dollors did the Chi nese Government cheer fully pay as inletn *Vk '*• v tr- i*m<*nt *f an'ue A *ieri- S TERMS. $1.50 PER ANNUM, ) SI.OO For Six Months. cans in China. The Government of tbei United States refused fc> pay indemnity foe wrongs indicted on Chinamen in this oomo try. In the name of Almighty Ged—the' Got! of Nations, who made of one blood all impeach the United States Gov crmnent for its perfidy toward the Chinese. * l. want to forewarn people of the At lantic “Coast agitinst joining in any crusade against the Chinese! as they are now coming into these States. While von meet the mul titudes of Europe at Castle Garden with hopes for their future prosperity, have the same treatment for the children of Asia who by the great Union Pacific and Central Pa cific Railroad are being forwarded over tho Sierra Nevadas. Offer them civilization and Christianity. There is no gospel in tho brickbats. Under a Government like this there is no room for violence. The most insignificant, abandoned, besotted, leprous Chinese that ever lay in lazaretto will live as long as God lives. He is immortal. That Chinese Nation is going to be saved whether Trans-Pacific or Cis Pacific. In the millennial glory will yet stand side by side Europe, Africa, America and Asia. The Rocky Mountains and the Himalaya will an swer each other with salvation echo. As to the whole question of Chineso emi gration let me encourage you by the thought that the God of nations will regulate that in the right way. Ever and anon in this coun try we fiy about in great excitement as though every thing were going to pieces. But God never gets excited. The Chinese question is going to be settled. What a time we had with the slavery question ! For half a cen tury the North proposed one thing and tho South proposed another thing. Matters grew worse. Missouri compromised; that didn’t settle it. Fugitive Slave Law passed that didn’t settle it. Riots in all the cities; that didn’t settlo it. Ecclesiastical Courts passed resolutions, and Congress deliberated for a quarter of a century ; that didn’t settle it. Lovejoy’s printing press thrown into the Ohio river, and Pennsylvania Hall burned in Philadelphia, and negroes shot, negroes tar red and feathered, negroes hung—all that didn't settle it. Then God rose up and said : “All human wisdon lias failed. I will settle it.” And he settled it at Shiloh, and Cor rinlh, and South Mountain, and Gettysburg —settled it by the graves of one million of brave Northern and Southern dead. So this Chinese problem is vast, complicated, tre mendous. Chinese emigration is a ques tion higher than the dome of your city halls, higher than the heathen goddess on the top of the Capitol at Washington, higher than the highest clmrch-steeple, so high that it is on a level with the throne of God and the same power that controls the tides of the ocean, sending this way and that, will de cide the great tides of human emigration, turning them wherever He will. If lie say come, they will come ; if He say go, they will g°- Do not get nervous about their coming and build a high, strong wall to keep them out, while you let other Nations come in.. Such a wall would bo shaken with the earth quake of God’s indignation from boneatli and * struck with the thunderbolt of God’s wrath from above and it would heave and rook an 4 fall upon the demagogues who constructed it, and upon the Nations that favored it and upon Christianity that was too cowardly to, denounce it, and Got] would say : “ I built that Arabrican temple for civil and religious libert}' and the ; Gospel that would have all ru.cn saved. I/ounded that temple in tho blood of the American revolution. Its arch es were lifted by'the shoulders o/ men who died for their principles. Its baptismal fonts were filled with tears of those who were exiled from other lands, coming hero for refuge. Tho swords of your patriot an cestry were the trowels that mortared tho foundations. But you have sacrificed on your altars the swine of passion and hate. You have defaced the pillars by unholy land. Let it go down, column and captal, arch and dome; and in some other land, among more, generous people, and in some brighter age, of the world, I will demonstrate before earth and heaven how I would have all men equal and free.” The Family Rudder. A Comstock man who was having his hair cut in Virginia City the other morning, gave the barber particular instructions not to re move a long lock that projected in a some what unsightly way from the front of his head. “It don’t become you.” said tho barber. “ Can’t help that,” said the customer. “ Better let me take it off,” said the bar-, ber. “Just 3 T ou leave it as it is,” said tho man. “ But,” persisted the barber, “ I can’t give you a smooth, decent cut if I leave tho hair so long in front. I can’t see what you want it left there for?” “TbatG because you don’t know what it is—you don’t know tho use of it.” “ I know that it’s a bunch of hair and know that it is very unbecoming just whero it is.” “ Yes, a bunch of hair, and something more, than a bunch of hair—it’s the family' rudder/** “ The family what?” “ The family rudder. When things don’t go right at home my wife always grabs that lock of hair. She would feel lost without it. When she gets hold of that she can handle, me, steer me in the right course, so to speak, and when I go in the right course all is well. I’ve got used to it now, and don’t mind it. Should I lose ra3 r hair and become bald, or. should you give me a fighting cut all over. there would be no way of steering me, E shoukl become unmanageably and sooner or later a total wreck. No,sir; don’t disturb tho family rudder.” The “.hermit” polonaise defines tho figtir#, loosely' bnt is drawn to the required size by a rope or wide belt at the waist; the skirt is almost as deep as the under-skirt, and is turued up en revers in the washwoman style ; the sleeves cut wide and deep are also turn ed up, and the neck is finished with a cardi nal cape, a cow!, and narrow, uprig! t collar.
