Chairman. in the short space of time allotted to me it is hardly to be expected that I can say much upon this question. I simply desire. as far as in me lies. to voice the sentiment of a million and a half of American citizens upon a subject that so closely relates to American labor as does the matter now under consideration. But. sir. it is not my intention to discuss the policy of restriction of Chinese immigration. That policy has already been clearlyand unmistakably outlined in the act of 1882. of which this bill is amendatory. This bill presents no new nor radical phases of this. to us oi the Pacific coast. most vital question.
