] I | men who would not quietly submit to all its actions 4. Counsel, the press of Nebraska and Wyoming, will submit briefs to the effect that in many ways this grasping corpora- tion has oppressed the people, confiscated values and crippled industry; that it has be come a successful tax dodger by manipu- lating legislatures; that it has screwed down the wa pf its own employes to the last living point and finally added the last straw to the overloaded but patient people's burden by importing cheap Chinese laborers from British America in defiance of United States statutes. You will give due weight to the law breaking position of the Pacific road, It is a principle in law that one may not plead his tort in hisown defence. ‘The corporation can have no standing in this Court of the American People when it appeals for sup- port as against a community whom it has oppressed by means that put it outside of the pale of law. You will not fail to inquire in this con- nection, also, whether the Pacific Road has any right to engage in mining, manufactar- ing and trade, at all? 5. Your Jury will not over-look the fact that the people of this country paid upon the Union Pacific Railroad more in money and lands than the road cost to construct; that the U. S. government is a partner with the U. P. corporation in the ownership and and operation of the road; that in these of confiscation, monopoly and outlawry, therefore, the govesnment is in the position of a robber and oppressor of its own people as much asare the offivers of the road, Th peoele, oppressed and goaded a3 they are have for years witheld their hands from their present oppressors because they did not wish to raise a hand against the United States. But when the Chinese came on the scene as the tools of further oppression, the gathered rage of twenty years broke on their defenceless heads. Thus your Jury will sce that the Rock Springs massacre was not of a piece with the other anti-Chinese outrages that dis- graced this country. It was a blow a dangerous monopoly and at governmental oppression. It was not even a labor demon- stration; no labor strike was back of it; the trades unions denounce it, It was the ex- pression of the oppressed people of the Ter- | ritory. No jury can be found to indict one of these assailants. Every paper in Wyom- ing and Nebraska is on the side of the sliughterers of the _ illegally-imported Asiatic tools of the Union Pacific Road and the United States government. In a word, this was not a massacre, but + bloody protest against wrong; not a ri but a rebellion against a government pr ing on its people. c. BB. Saint Jumbo.
