The Chinese "Gráfia në Vancouya have sunt to the Board of Administration, av well as to the Viceroy at Canton, a strongly worded warning, pointing on the usoles-- nuss of their fullowcountrymen emigrating to Canada under proses conditions. Whether those who are already flusu have **a good thing" on and want to keep it të Themselves, vo whether the facts are xactly as they are represented in the gument muder review it is difficult to de- termine at this distance.

while they set of on a doubtful quest of few hundred dollars. The Vunconver warung goes into the history of Chineso emigration into Canada, and points out how the poll tax has been gradually zaixad until it now stands at five hundred dollars per man. It appears that last year the subi paid by Chinese canigrants to the Canadian Government amounted to $899,000, and strendy this year there have been eight hundred immigrants into Canada, who will hare paid, of course, $400,000. On,the other hand during this time about Afteen hundred Chinese Turs foturned to Kangang, and cach manico an average has only brought back about the hindred dollars. There fore there has been in lose on the Chinese side, the profit remaining with Dae, Gov- erment of Canada. The reasons for the present condition of affairs are traced to Royal Academy Picture and Sculp bentes. First, the great diminution in

Whon all these factors are consideral the cause of the present depres- sion is clear enough. Hence it has cano to pay that many Chinese have no work to do, and those who are in work can do little more than support themselves in food and clothes. The writers of the wat- ing therefore urge thast for the present no emigrista hould leave the Province, or, should they leave, then, they should know beforehand what they are going to do, and what their wager will h This letter lex hoon received by the Viceroy, and sccording | to the wish of the Chiness Guilds in Canada has been published throughout thu different prefectures of Kwangtong, so that all may read and know the facts of the case.
