This is unquestionably true. and the same thing appies in relation to the State of Oregon. The whole immigration is not a voluntary one. it is controlled. as stated by the Senator from California. by these six companies. by these masters. if you please. in whose control and under whose subjection is every Chinese. male and female. that comes from the empire to our shores. and. as stated. the ballot in their hands would but add to the horrors of the situation. But. Mr. President. can the Congress of the nation. in the face of the Burlingame treaty. provide a remedy constitutionally or consistently equal to the magnitude of this great evil ?
