Speech #480052741

It excludes theimportationof coolies alone. It will not infringe treaties with any government. It will not be applicable to any other country than the Chinese Empire. because these coolies do. not come from other countries. and hence the bill can not in any manner be made applicable to other countries. I have undertaken to show that by this amended bill we make no. change of policy. None is contemplated. We merely seek to make. effective the law enacted by a prior Congress which proved inoperative. and abortive. All political parties in this country are committed to the doctrine that the further coming of cooly slaves to this country shall be prohibited.
