I do not justify the brutality of the treatment of those Chinese who are here. it is greatly to be regretted. it is greatly to be condemned. but you must deal with things as you find them. If you foresee a conflict upon that coast by reason of an immigration that calls for the interposition of the military. I think it is a good deal cheaper and more direct way to avoid the trouble by preventing the immigration. I have heard a good deal about their cheap labor. I do not myself believe in cheap labor. I do not believe cheap labor should be an object of legislation. and it will not be in a republic.
