I ask the gentlemen to ponder upon these things. and ascertain whether they are true before they inflict upon us still further the evils of Chinese irmmigration. China has deliberately made treaties with foreign countries. with Spain. for instance. in which they recognize the right of cooly slavery. This is a point which should not be forgotten. Allow me to read article 107 of the treaty between China and Spain. It is as follows: Chinese subjects now held to contract labor in Cuba who are incapacitated by aeo from work. and Chinese orphans and widows who may desire to leave the island and return to China. will be sent home. at its own expense. by the Spanish Government.
