Why should they be excluded ? When they wish to come here as skilled artisans and laborers. wonderfully skillful in certain branches of manufacture. and contribute their labor and mingle with others. wlsy shoit]([ they not come ? All the* reasons against cooly immigration cease when you speak of these men. The immigrants that we want to exclude are those men who have no wives. children. or homes. who are inere pauper laborers. who are worse than pauper laborers. who are contract laborers. coolies. a class of maen who tend to degrade all labor. who can live so cheaply that no men. white or black. can compete with them. That is the mischief to be guarded against. that is the object to be sought. but now. because we have by the kindness of the Chinese Government made a treaty which enables us to limit the importation of laborers into this country. we declare that all Chinese shall be considered laborers except. forsooth. those described in the thirteenth section of the bill. All men are laborers practically by the construction given in the bill. except the following: SEc. 15.
