THE CHINESE QUESTION,
Another Act which passed the House last session was the Asiatic. Restriction Act. Now there was no doubt that some measure was necessary to stop the influx of Chinese (applause), although Auckland was not so much troubled in this respect as were some other parts of the colony (applause), as there were not so many Chinese here yet. He felt that in this matter of the Chinese he must blame the working men for not acting consistently, when they looked at the fact that in Wellington they were supporting 130 Chinese fruit shops in preference to those of the Europeans, and yet were at the same time asking the Government to restrict the Chinese from coming into the colony- (Appiause.) The same state of affairs would take place here if it was not stopped, but if the working men were not consistent in this matter how could they expect the Government to do anything for them. (Applaust.) Here in Auckland ot the foot of Wakefield-street the two shops kept by European women, and one by Chinese. The other night he noticed there were no customers in the shop kept by European women, but three were waiting to be served in tha Chinese shop. If this was not stopped, the result would be the same state of affairs as existed in Wellibgton, where the Chinese pretty well controlled the fruit trade. (Applause.)
