This is a question which should be considered from the highest plane of statesmanship and patriotism. aside from partisan feeling or sordid motives. But. sir. several of the gentlemen upon the opposite side of this House have made use of this discussion to serve political ends and inveigh the Democratic party. They have unfairly and incorrectly stated the past action of political parties upon this question. As no one on this side has replied to these criticisms I have sought the floor in the closing hours of the debate for the purpose of more accurately defining the position of the two principal political parties with reference to Chinese immigration and the protection of American labor.
