Every voter can cast his ballot without any mortal knowing how he voted unless he chooses to give the information. I am free to say that I do not believe there isa single unprejudiced individual uponthatcoast who has had an opportunity to observe the effect of the presence of the Chinese. or had experience with them. but would be glad if they were gone. not one who is not satisfied that their presence is a curse to the country. I feel satisfied that the 883 votes favoring this immigration were cast by employers of Chinese. who are making a profit from their labor. and hence their notion was purely selfish. We then have the unbiased and deliberate Judgment of California that the Chinese are a people not homogeneous. a people wanting in every element harmonizing with our society. and from their moral. religious. and political training disagreeable and dangerous members of the American community. It is unnecessary for the information of this House that I should enter upon a description of the character. habits. and customs of the cass of Chinese who immigrate to this country. An exhaustive investigation by a committee of the senate of California. also by a committee of the Senate of thoUnited States. with the distinguished Senator from Indiana. Mr.
