Political cartoon. Features two captions:

1. A quote from Joaquin Miller: “As early as 1854 this cry against the Chinese began to be heard along the wharves and about the hotels of San Francisco. It came from the Irish laborers and porters, and also from the Irish ‘help.’ The Chinamen did not vote, and so had no champion. This is the key to the whole question. This outcry against the Chinaman has from that day been a political shibboleth.”

2. Imagined dialogue:

“Anti-Chinese ‘Statesmen’– ‘These fellows musn’t be tolerated any longer; they can’t vote, and are of no earthly use to any of us. They must go.’

Joaquin Miller–‘You are taking a mean advantage of these harmless creatures; you made a treaty with them; they trusted your word, have built your railroads, and washed your dirty linen, and now you propose to kick them out. ‘It is pitiful to see great minds prostituted to such selfish aims.’’”
