Mr. Speaker. there is no prohibition in that platform . there is so violation of aty treaty there is no repudiation of long mrid wellestablished principles. there is no national dishonor. but the foreshadowing ofjucst precisely snch a bill aste threaty anthorizes. and as I am ready acd anixious to support and vote for today. It proposest when ticessary. to lmit y. restrict regulate. or suspendnot absolutely to prohibit fo: twenty yearsthe immigration of the people of China into this country. To such legislation no reasonable man would object. and such a bill would command the voice and vote of every Republican in this House. I would by all just and reasonable measures. when necessary. protect our people from the evils of the socalled "ecolylabor." from criminals. from prostitutes and diseased persons. by providing by the most stringent regulations that such persons should not be landed upon our shores from China or any other country.
