The New York Sunday Mercr-ry
the following as an inter
view with a Pennsylvania Congress
man “A now steamship visiting headquarters: with
capital of million company, dollars, the a
ten
Congressman says, has been formed
to United bring States, Chinese and laborers to hence tho
the Chinese population one year this
in
country will be increased fourfold,
and five years hence there will be
a million Asiatic mechanics and
skilled artisans at work among the
factories and mills of the Atlantic
coiist. The Six Coolie Companies
of Han Francisco some time ago
made arrangements with John
Roach to build twenty iron ships,
each of which will pack and convey
three thousand Mongolians to this
country, to work for twenty-five or
thirty cents field a day. of Desiring to en¬
large their operations, they
sent their agents East to interest
silk, cotton, stove and other manu¬
facturers in their sherries, and tho
result lias been the formation of the
I of.
“The stock was all subscribed
some limesince, for capitalists saw
that it would pay from the start;
but it has been kept very quiet in
order to avoid influencing the polit¬
ical campaign. John Roach has
already gone to work on the ships,
and six of them are in a forward
state of completion. 1 do not know
the names of the incorporators, who
are principally of Republican wealthy New York
gentlemen ties, together with few proclivi¬ Connec¬
a
ticut and New Jersey manufactu¬
rers; but I know from my own
personal knowledge that the ships
arc being constructed at Chester,
l’a., and thut Mr. Roach is building
them especially for the yellow slave
traffic. I do not scruple to call it
a revival of the slave trade. The
coolie will work for only nominal
wages, and the employers will reap
his profit in hiring heathen work¬
men at 81.75 a week instead of hav¬
ing to pay, as now, from 8!) to 818
for American labor. The owners of
Fail River now receive 25 per cent,
dividends on their investments,
but under the new Chinese arrange¬
and ments the they Mongolian will clear will f>0 per cent., dare
never
strike for higher wages.
“Under the Burlingame-Republi¬
can treaty these men are allowed to
come into this country without be¬
coming citizens, retaining allegiance
and to their own have Imperial all government,
yet the benefit of the
laws of the United States while
driving out American labor. The
scheme will pay enormously, of
course. As soon as tho monopo¬
lists have secured, os they expect, a
now lease of power through Gar¬
field’s election, with a promise of a
third term of Grant in 1884, they
will plundering give themselves up to the task
of labor.”
Pine straw is now quite an ar¬
ticle of exjvort in Wilmington, North

preparations and is used for stuffing
mattresses and for other purposes,
