There are about a half million Of colored people in the State of Georgia. and yet their aggregate wealth is only about $7.000.000. But. Mr. President. suppose we should acquire the islands. what will they be when we get them ? Upon this head the inconsistency of the Senator from California strikes me as remarkable. He made a long and able argument here not long ago to satisfy the American people that the importation of the cooly labor upon the Pacific coast and the immigration of Chinese should be stopped. The Americans on the Pacific slope are driving the Chinese away. But where do we find them when they leave California?
