mostly raw materials, put upon the free

their production in this country.

In 1820 only one Chinaman landed in
the United States. It was five years before
another came, and the third did not arrive
until 1829. In 1842 we received only two
and the same number in 1852. Soon after
the war tbe Chinese began to pour in. Our
biggest Chinese year was 1882, the year
before the exclusion of the Celestials from
our shore*. It brought u* 35,014 Chinese.
Th« crop of the previous year was 20,711.

We had been under the impression that
this (>et name was reserved for statesmen
of tlie party to which the Constitution be
longs, and to whoso interests it i* so wholly
devoted, hat evidently we were mistaken.
The whisky ring statesmen must include
all who oppose what the Constitution
favors.
Rut no; that cannot lie the pro|ier man

for the journal to which our Atlanta
friend is accustomed to refer as tlie chief
organ of the whisky ring, printed in
Louisville, is the foremost champion
free silver as well as free trade, and many
tariff reform Democrats of prominence,
including the Senators from Kentucky, are
of the same way of thinking as to silver.
Perhaps a little examination of history
will make plainer who are the whisky ring
