Abstract

The Week
January 23, 1879 issue

add to cart   close window

The article focuses on political conditions of the U.S. and around the world, as of January 23, 1879. Nobody really believes that the Senate passed the Arrears of Pensions Bill from pure motives of national gratitude. The desire of inhabitants of the Pacific slope for the restriction of Chinese immigration has been brought to the notice of every Congress since the negotiation of the Burlingame Treaty in 1868. It must be borne in mind that in legislating against the Chinese, the Republican Party would be getting into more serious trouble than that into which the Southern question has already plunged it.
