Mr. President. a singular document has been placed on our desks purporting to be Senate Miscellaneous Docnsnout No. 36. styled an argument of Joseph C. G. Kennedy. adverse to the bills (409 and 477) "to restrict the immigration of the Chinese to the United States." and "to regulate Chinese immigration." This production. so dignified. emanates from a lobbyist in the interest of the grand slavemasters of the Pacific. called the Chinese six cornpan ies. Before I conclude I shall pay some slight attention to its author. First. however. I avail myself of its introduction here. and of the pending resolution. to address the Senate at large on this Chinese question. and incidentally to defend theconelusions of thejoint committee of the two Houses that investigated the subject at San Francisco. which are somewhat ignorantly and superciliously attacked in this document.
