Speech #470031739

I do not state this casd too strongly. I find in a newspaper from California. dated the 24th of February. not a week old. the Call. published in San Francisco. a report of the trades assembly of the Chinesecminittec. and an appeal niade "To the working teen and vomien of the United States." which I have read. and by which I have been much impressed. Senator Morton. our late associate. has been cited as in sonic way giving indirect approval to the continued and uninterrupted immigration of Chinese laborers into this country. and yet I find by this paper. that when he had in 1877 conducted an investigation into this very question. in the very communities most affected by it. and where the cry of distress was loudest. he concluded that it had "b jcome painfully evident that the Pacific coast muss iu tiae i thcr becooe Anmrican or M[ongolian." That was his judgment in 1877. Years have rapidly and constantly reaffirmed its justice. and when it comes to thatand that is the issue presented to the American people or presented to the American SenateI ask how can there be other. or ought there to be other than one reply?
