JOHN AS A BANKEB AND EXPRESSMAN 305 There are five of these Companies in all, the Yung-Wo, the Sze-Yap, the Sam-Yap, the Yan-Wo, and the Ning- Yung. They contract with their countrymen in China to transport them to America, insure them constant work while here at fixed wages, and at the expiration of their contract return them to China again, dead or alive, if so desired. They each have a large and comfortable building in San Francisco, where they board and lodge their members, when they first ...arrive, or when sick, or out of work, or on a visit from the interior. Chinese beg- gars are rare on the Coast, and our public hospitals con- tain no Chinese patients, although John before landing has always to pay a " hospital-tax" of ten dollars. This is what it is called out there ; but, of course, it is a robbery and swindle, which the Golden State ought promptly to repeal. These great Companies also act, as express- agents and bankers, all over the Coast. In all the chief towns and mining districts, wherever you enter a Chi- nese quarter or camp, you will find a representative of one or more of them, who will procure anything a Chi- naman needs, from home or elsewhere ; and faithfully remit to the Flowery Kingdom whatever he wants to send, even his own dead body.
