It is, of course, to be expected that our friends en the Pacific roast will take advantage of the geaty recently sigued between China and the United States to disk from Congress a theisure affecting the Chinese immigration to America. some of our politicians who look forward to Pre- dential honours have taken up the Chinese question and declaimed at length on the evils of Chinese immigration, expressing the fear that tr fair donions would be overrun by a horde of Asiaties. The indifference of the Eastern people to the Chinese question arises from the fact that we know very little about it from prac tical experience. The general sentiment of the ween the indifference of New England and New country, however, has been to steer clear bet- Vork about a question which is not present t them and the demagogism of ruftians in Cali fornia who have taken advantage of the Chinese rapine.

There are many things to be said on this subject, especially in favour of the California view of the car. The coolies belong to the lowest class in China, and represent a degraded, inferior form of its ancient and picturesque civilisation. On the other hand, they have been of advantage to the United States. It would be a curious question to decide the practical worth in the mere material matters of money and labour of the Chinamen to the Pacific coast. it would be a great calamity to the in- dustrial interests of that coast if the Chinamen should suddenly leave it. We question if even the most advanced reformers and agitators would not regard the sudden exodus of the Chinhman as an almost irreparable calamity. But, while the ways, the fact that they represent a teeming, vast Chinese have been of service to America in many empire; that is it is within the power of China to throw into America inillions and millions of these swarm over the Pacific coast and practically labourers, and that, if not checked, they could occupy it, is the real point to be considered.

Out of his class come the best citizens. Ifthe induence of the immigration of the Chinese to the United states is to weaken or diminish or lessen the moral force of our working classes then it should be restricted. A great deal is due to China as a Triendly nation, and one in whose fature we have a growing interest, but a great deal is also due to the labouring people of our own States, and especially those living on the Pacific coast.- New York Herald.
