President. I trust there will be no farther delay in the passage of this bill. at least that as short a time as possible will only elapse before we can come to a vote upon it. I know that the employment of Chinese on our coast has been of advantage to some individuals. to some enterprises. but "the greatest good to the greatest number" is not the result of their immigration to that coast. I know that very respectable men. men of high character. employ Chinamen. It is very natural that they should do so because they can get their labor at wages from 30 to 40 per cent. lower than they can get the labor of white men and white women.
