It would be well for us to remember that supplication after supplication has come up here for years past from the people of those States. but so far our prayers and memorials have been unheeded. It is my purpose now to call the attention of the House to this subject. in order that during this Congress efficient relief may be granted to the people who are now being borne down by the presence of a horde of heathen serfs. During the last Congress the question of Chinese immigration was so fully and ably discussed. and there has been so much written upon the subject. it may be unwise forme to attempt anything at this time. But in view of the deep and direct interest my constituency have in the passage of this bill. and the keen necessity felt by the entire population of the Pacific coast for the adoption of some restrictive measure that will save them from being supplanted by a foreign and pagan race. I feel constrained to urge upon this House prompt action.
