Speech #470057666

I do not intend to take up the time of the Senate for more than a very few moments longer. andI hardly deem it necessary to do so. for I do not know that f can throw any further light on the proposition I have been discussing than I have already attempted to present. Very strange arguments have been made on the floor of the Senate in reference to this proposed legislation. I find the honorable Senators from Massachusetts. both of them. and the distinguished Senator from Connecticut asserting doctrines that if carried out according to their views. so as to prevent legitlation on this subject. would force on us the evils that would necessarily flow from a continuation of the immigration of those people not only to the Pacific coast but to other portions of the United States. In my opinion those evils would be almost incalculable. Look at the very case cited. and admitted so far as the two Senators from Massachtisetts are concerned. though neither of them was present.
