A Plea for the Chinaman

"Every just person must feel his or her sense of justice outraged by the attacks which are being made by public men upon the Chinese who come to this country. It is a shame because the persecutors have every weapon in their hands and the persecuted are defenceless - for the Chinamen are defenceless." A defense of the Chinese population in Canada, written by Edith Eaton/Sui Sin Far in 1896.
