Rensselaer Republican, Volume 16, Number 7, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 25 October 1883 — Chinese on the Pacific Coast. [ARTICLE]

Chinese on the Pacific Coast.

The Chinese fairly swarm in all parts of the Pacific Coast region. In all the larger and even in many of the smaller towns we find the “Chinese quarters,” in which the diamond-eyed Mongolians reside, do business and have their public houses of entertainment. The “Chinese quarter” of the city of Portland reminds one of a street in Hong Kong; it is Oriental and full of Chinese trade and traffic. Should the Eastern section of our country ever swarm with these exotics as does the Pacific slope, it would have “cheap labor” to its heart’s content, but we are well satisfied that it is not of the kind it . needs or desires.— Chicago Journal. - ‘‘Wake up here, and pay for your lodgings ” said the good deacon, as he nudged Ihe sleepy stranger with the contribution box . The Chinese should be good fighters—fast colois do not run and the Chinese certainly wash well— Bouton Bulletin. '* Clutbvllle, Ala,—Dr. W. Carter, says: -“I have used Brown’s Iron Bitters in my own , family for indigestion with great benefit.”
