If so. it does not lie within their mouths to talk about sentiment and humanity. We have had another treaty with China on this subject. made in 1881. And. very singular to say. with all the agitation on the Pacific coast. with all the depth of feeling with which America has voiced her sentiment on this subject. it was not even understood by the Chinese authorities when the movement was started that we objected to any immigration of laborers. The only hint of change in our treaty relations they seem to have was that we might want to regulate the admission of certain criminal classes. I am glad to say that the correspondence shows that our commissioners did not intend to be misunderstood or to be misled on that question.
