TO THE FARMERS:
Since the date of our last advertisement to
you we have sold 1100acres of land, and being
all the land held by us in behalf of the various
Loan Companies we represent. except the
Shaw farm of 200 acres in Kinloss, and which
we are offering very cheap and on very easy
terms of payment.
Several farmers have, however, placed
their farms in our hands for sale, so that we
hope be able .to apply the bulk of the
dema or farms as heretofore. But as our
sales a needed 1000 acres last spring we would
request those in want of acheap farm to apply
early. as the spring time will now soon be
here. We can grant very. reasonable terms of
payment forall our sales and a low rate of
interest.
If you wish to renew or change you mort-
gage, or put a new• mortgage on your farm, or
send money away in payment of the interest
or principal of your mortgage, we can guaran-
tee .you satisfaction and at a, very trifling
expense.
We lend money on farmers' notes fer long
or short time, and can supply all demands on
reasonable terms. Sale nc,tes a specialty.
We do a general banking business of all
kinds with Merchants, wattle Dealers,
Shippers and Farmers,

THE CHINESE QUESTION.'
Are They a Curse or a Benefit to British
Columbia.
1111
To the Editor of the .Sentinel: •
DEAR SIR,—In your issue of June
10th there appears an article on the
Chinese question eminating from Lulu
island, B. C.,, the writer of, which has
evidently inbibed considerable of a
prejudice popular with certain classes
in this province.
Will you Mr. Editcr kindly allow
pie space to 'present some phases of
the question which the I. N. M.' has
carefully omitted ? Although the.
Chinese question may have but little
interest to the people in Ontario; yet
many of -your numerous readers may
think it strange that this crying evil,
this bane of the province, this curse of
the country under which our • fair
province groans and languishes, should
be permitted to continue when a
quietus could be obtained as easily
as the I. N. M. seems to intimate.
The people of B. C. are not noted for
quietly submitting to injustice, and
in this case the reason ..for their toler-
ating, the evil will be more clearly
apparent on a more careful examination
of the question. That the. chinese
form an element of cormpetition in the
labor line is, in a restricted sense,
true, but let us consider what lines' of
labor 'they. follow and the result of
their labor •before we have them
anathematized. They are the laundry
men of the .province. In this depart-
ment they are very Expert, doing
their work rapidly and well and at
reasonable rates. • Would our anti-
chinese agitators prefer to pay 100
er cent extra to have their linen
tarched in order that their money
might remain in the province ? 111e
thinks not. Or are they longing for
a situation before the wash tub or . by
the laundry board ? Perhaps.
As domestic' servants they are a
necessity ; men of Anglo Saxon blood
by instinct, bathe the work of the
kitchen and the • sculliery ; female'
se wants cannot he had, 1)Ut . here. the
Mongolian is at home. In all the
leading hotels in the province and in
many. private houses both in city, and
rural districts, they cook our victuals,
wash oar dishes, sweep our floors and
make our beds, and none but they are
here. to do it: Yet notwithstanding
the enormous number of,cninese cooks
in the province a sober white ,cook
can, at any time' command wages that
.in the east, cuuld..seeni fabulous. In
the neighborhood of the cities they
engage in market -gardening, usually
getting possession of some semi -barren
nook which white men would not
cultivate, and by diligent and careful
tilling produce astonishing results. •
. Far up the banks of the Fraser we
find them quietly, patiently, rewashing
the refuse earth from which the gold
diggers have gleaned the richest sands
and making good pay from that which
white men have thrown away. In
the salmoii canneries they are extensive-
ly employed 'at work"which few white
men could • be induced to, undertake.
Were chinese labor prohibited in the
canning business, our leading canners
tell us that one of the first results
would be the closing of every cannery
on the coast. This statement may be
to strong but nevertheless the last few
years have witnessed too many failures.
ih the canning business even with the
advantage of cheap Chinese labor. •
Land clearing and ditching' are
branches of labor extensively followed
by the Mongolian.. Against these the
heavy artillery of the anti -Chinese
agitator is directed for here they anta-
gonize white labor. But who reaps
the benefit, from their work ? The
I. N. M. says "their employers."
Who are the employers ? The farmers
of British Columbus. And doe' not
the province at large profit by that
which enriches,the farming community
If 'two acres of .land can he cleared
and ditched by Chinese labor where
only one could be so redeemed by
white labor, that extra acre produces
annually to the province more than
the celestial sent to the Flowery
Kingdom as • aresult of the work.
Yet the Lula Island scribe talks, of
the "drain on the farmers." I contend
that every acre of land cleared, every
rod of ditch dug and every furlong of
dyke built means wealth . to -the
province. And, if a farmer has a
certain amount of capital to devote to
improvements is it not to his own
and his country's benefit to employ
the agency that gives the best returns
for that capital, whether that agency
be white, red or yellow, whether it be
human flesh and blood, hippograph, or
steam engine.
The I. N. M. justly claims that a
great amount of capital, is required to
-develope the industries of British
Columbia. But capital lies paralyzed
without- labor. Nothing hut hardy
muscle can ever subdue the intermin-
able forests of our uplands, or redeem
the peaty marshes • by our streams.
And the more cheaply labor can be
obtained the more of it will be employ-
ed. These wailing cries about
competition from the orientals are but
echoes of the roars of rage that greeted
the advent of the steam engine, the
powerloom, the grain thresher, and all
other labor -cheapening devices. Yet
although these things antagonized the
laborer and had their share of abuse
the, race survives and old earth has
work for all our- hands., Yes, right
here, in the midst of the Chinese there
is work and pay for any man who
likes work better .than whiskey.
Your correspondent objects to
Chinese immigration because they
return to China wheit they have
accumulated from S500 to $2000 and
complains. that they do not invest
their capital here. Does he know
that a Chinaman cannot own real
estate in British Columbia however
able and willing he may be to pay for
it ? But there is at least one Chinese
millionaire on the Pacific Coast and -
numbers who can count their dollars
high into the thousands. Let those
who would banish the Orientals .from
our shores remember '"Tts a poor rule
that won't work both ways." What
of the multitude of British' subjects
that are making their temporary
home it 'China. and amassing their
fortunes "here ? . Do they intend to
remain':in, the 'Central Flowery King-
dom, invest their fortunes there,
.cultivate a que, marry a rosy-cheeked
Mongolian lass .and settle down. and
help to advance the interests of that
country? "Ay there's the rub.
What a national order would arise
should the Emperor of , China exclude
from those shores all • foreign merch-
ants ? • And yet has he not as good a
right as we to do so.? A fiat, from
that monarch could„ lay our Pacific
°trade pulseless and, cold. Our cities
expect to be emporiums of Asiatic
trade, yet some of our people court
Asiatic hostility by 'advocating. rank
injustice to the Oriental people. ° The
China steamerscertainly require
garantiuing as contagious diseases are
are occasionally introduced by them.
But this is true of all foreign trade in
all countries. ,'he quarantine is not
an "unknown quantity" on the St:
Lawrence. Smallpox, cholera and
leprosy have found their way to our
eastern shores through , foreign com-
merce. "'Tis strange 'tis . passing
strange" for the Atlantic steamers
plying to and from Europe do not
import Chinese.
Your correspondent would insure
our good health by excluding from the
country all who are subject to these
afflictions. Why do these things by
halves ? Why not at once and for-
ever stop all international trade and
communication, keep all foreigners
away, keep our own citizens under
our own kitchen roof, and let our
friend find "a lodge in some vast
wilderness" where free from the taint
of foreign influence, . he can bask in
the sunlight of his own selfish glory,
unincuniberea by the competition of
those with whom he imagines our
tendnoble Anglo-Saxon race cannot con-
.
Mr. Editor to continue this subject
in, this issue would be trespassing upon
'space. Hoping some future time to
have the pleasure of again addressing
your reader's .and thanking you for the
use of your columns I am,
Yours truly,
Wm. McDonagh.

Lucknow that one young man who was
in more haste than some of the others
endeavored to drive past agate of the

lout of a wagon agoing the opposite

made a speedy exit and after reaching.
terra firma they turned to view their
means of .conveyance and found it
minus. a wheel'.. At almost the same
instant, the double team ahead dashed
into the ditch. and capsized the rig
