When the Senator says that this bill is drawn in a spirit of hatred. and when he intimates that it should be understood that the Senators who support this bill are actuated by the same sentiments that actuate the sandletters of San Francisco. he does us injustice. lam for the protection of every Chinaman by every means known to the law. I would give him the same trialby jury and the same protection at the expense of the Government that I would give the best citizen of Massachusetts or any other man who lives in this land. It is not quite fair for the Senator to attempt to make it appear that we. who believe that there is an impending evil and are anxious by the processes of law to restrict this immigration. are joining with a class of people. exceedingly few in numbers. who are disposed to do personal violence to the Chinese in this country.
