To some individulsthat may be true . but to the great mass of the people. to the laboring classes of the people. to the producers of the country. it is not true. It has been a drawback to the best interests of that State. It has prevented immigrants frons other countries from finding a home on the Pacific coast. Hundreds and hundreds of people you may meet on this side of the mountains who inquire why it is that foreign immigrants are not more numerotm on the Pacific coast than they are today. and the answer given universally is that it is on account of the presence of the Chinese laboring class in that region. Why. sir. I was somewhat astonished at the honorable Senator from Massachusetts the other day when he said that the Californians. using the expression of the lawyer. were estopped from setting up any right to oppose the inrmigration of this class of people there.
