For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Title A name given to the resource Letter from A. W. Loomis to Henry, March 13, 1889 Subject The topic of the resource Pamphlets; Witnesses; Census; Foreign workers; Sex workers; Adoption; Abuse of rights; Chinese Americans Description An account of the resource Loomis writes to Henry rebuking his claims of abuse of the Chinese immigrant population. He claims that while the acts have reduced the rates of immigration, the average Chinese wage has risen. He relates that his own employees are paid well and are always helped should they ask. Steamship fares have been fixed to allow for cheaper passage. He denies all claims of slavery among the Chinese, stating that while sometimes women are sold to brothels, most children are adopted rather than sold for debt and that the system of concubines is rather Abrahamic. He advises Henry to more carefully weigh his statements in the future. Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Loomis, A. W.
