An examination of the Chinese question," by Mrs. S. L. Baldwin, eighteen years a missionary in China, is a forty-eight paged pamphlet, which we presume can be had of the author, 85 Lexington St., East Boston. Mrs. Baldwin notices such objections to Chinese immigration as these: They come here as a sort of slaves. They are of the lower class. They will bring disease here. There is danger of the millions from China flooding our land. They do not come to stay. They pay no taxes. They endanger our morals by their evil women and they cheapen labor. They retain their own style of dress. Those who know the trechant pen that Mrs. Dr. Baldwin wields will know that this is a vigorously written pamphlet. The arguments for the negative of the question she discusses are tersely put and the facts well stated. Whatever the politicians may think of it, this Chinese question is not settled, and when the people come to be informed on the subject they will sweep into the sea the partial adjustment of the foreign immigrant question involved in the Chinese treaty. For ourselves, while we think this subject demands much deliberation and careful judgment, we burn with indignation at the summary way in which it has been sought to dispose of it. We recall Mr. Seward's sentiment, that nothing is settled until it is settled right. We commend this pamphlet to a wide reading, though portions of it are only stinging and bold satire.
