But. Mr. Chairman. I am not willing to admit to our shores anybody whose presence tends to degrade American labor. The gentleman from New York asks why we do not .send the Chinese students home. We have no desire to do that. We have no wish to proscribe Chinamen on account of their race. All we want is to prevent coolies from coming here. The gentleman says that our jails are not filled with Chinese. If he would go to San Francisco he would come to the conclusion that many of the Chinese there ought -to be in the jails.
