I wotld styself as soon think of destroying all the nules or all the dontestic animals in the country. or of destroying all the engines and laborsaving machinery in the country. as to either expel or repel a class of docile. patient. obedient. frugal. and industrious laborers. whether skilled or unskilled. But I pass that. because conceding to other localities the same rights that I demand for my own. and resting upon the maxims and dogmas of local selfgovernment and home rule. I am prepared to say that the communities upon the Pacific coast have a right to judge for themselves as to the propriety in an economical sense of this immigration. and when they have spoken through their authorized representatives. with their declaration I shall be content.
