Mr. Speaker. I shall not detain this House at any great length in the discussion of questions having. in my judgment. nothing to do with the pending bill. which has for its object the absolute prohibition of Chinese immigration. How far this proceeding is in defiance of the free principles of our Government and in violation of sacred treaty obligations has already in this debate been most ably and justly argued. In the few minutes I shall occupy I shall confine myself to the practical questions which are so apparent that lie who runs may read. For. sir. while I shall I hope be faithful to the interests of the people of Massachusetts whom I have the honor in part to represent.
