COOLIE. TRADE PROHIBITED. THE A(3TS OF CONGRESS ON TIIE SUBJECT — THE PUNISHMENT EOli OEE ENOCHS, PINE AND I.M PIUSONM ENT. Il is well known tßit the wealthy Ran Francisco merchant Koopmanshap has recently strenously advocated the intro., dilution of the coolie labor system, which at present prevails only in the Pacific Stales, into all pai ls of the United Suites; that he stalled a gigantic project for bringing coolies into this country direct from China, that'lie was prominently concerned in the Memphis Convention, where the subject of cheap, labor was extensively discussed; that he subsequently came North with the expectation of receiving encouragement in his’undertaking; and that while here he proposed to import 10,000 Coolies for the use of fanners in the Atlantic States. But it appears that the Coolie Hade is strictly forbidden by law. His enterprise comys under an act passed during* the second ■iiliSS,U >- 1 oi .Bo IJi li'l.ji-■»**£von ill Coogre.-s, specifying that no citizen or foreigner coining into or residing within the United Stares shall engage iii tile Coolie trade uu dor penalty of losing the vessel or vessels ■ S(> engaged. In ihe same act it is provided that every person that shall aid or abet tin* building, eqtiipiug or navigating of any vessel intended fur the Coolie trade, shall, upon conviction, be liable to a fine not exceeding $2,000, and be imprisoned not exceeding one year. Another section of the same act makes it an offence to take on board of any vessel, or receive or trans port any Coolies who shall be intended lbr i the Coolie trade.. The punishment is a fine of $2,000, or imprisonment for one year. The first and most important section of the act reads as follows : ‘‘‘That, no citizen or citizens of the United Stales, or foreigner coming into or residing within the same, shall, for himself or for any oilier person whatever, either as a mas ter, factor, owner, or otherwise, raise build equip, load, or otherwise prepare any ship er vessel, or any steamship or steam vessel registered,, enrolled or licensed, -in the United Slates, or any port within the same, lor the purpose of procuring from China, or from any part or place therein, or from any other port or place the inhabitants or sub jects of China, known as Coolies, to be transported to any foreign country, port or place whatever, to be disposed of, or sold, or transferred, fur any term of years, or for any time whatever, as servants or ’appren tices, or to be held te service or labor. And if any ship or vessel, steamship or steam? vessel, belonging in whole or in part to citiz ns of the United States, and register ed, enrolled or otherwise licensed as afore . *■ \ * said, shall be employed for the said purpose or in the Coolie trade so called, or shall be caused to «p rue ure from China or elsewhere, as aforesaid, and subjects of the govern ment jI China fur the purpose of transport ing or disposing of them as aforesaid, every such ship or vessel, steamship or fißiHcyf sm 1, her tackle, apparel, furniture mini other appurtetiauces, shall be forfeited i to tiie United States, and shall be liable to b - -seized, prosecuted and condemned in :«»y j of the Circuit or District Courts of the 1 United States for the district where the* said ship or vessel, steamship or steams I vessel may be found, bciz.d or carried”— I N.

Then, what in now lire most flourishing part of America was as little known us the country arouud the mountains of the moon. It was not un til 1707 that B jotie left his home in North Carolina to become the first settler of Ken tucky. The first poineer of Ohio did not settle until twenty years after this time. A hundred years ago Canada belong to France, and the whole population did not exceed a million and a half of people. A hundred years ago, the Fredericks of Pros** sia was preforming those great exploits which have made him immortal in military annals, and with his little monarchy was sustaining a single handed contest with. Russia, Austria and France, the three great powers of Europe combined.
