Now. sir. it has been very correctly estimated that these people are shipping from the Pacific coast not less than $8.000.000 per annum. Whatevcr the amount may be. it is that much lost to our people. I assert that these Chinese immigrants create no wealth which would not be created were they excluded. If the labor they perform was performed by our own or a kindred people. the profits of that labor would be invested at homewould add to our national wealth and greatness. Does tiny gentleman undertake to say that our country is as Vell off with ou1V labor performed by a class of people who are transrmitting all their earnings away trom our country?
