The law that you propose to enact. that the Senator from New Hampshire proposes now to spread all over the country except New Hampshire and Vermont and the Northeast. would have excluded these Senators from coming here unless they had the manhood to work their passage. or had the friends abroad. not in this country. to have advanced them money enough to pay their expenses to get here. . I am opposed on principle. Iam opposed in deferenceto the traditions of this country. and I am opposed from a sense of respect for the work that these men have done in this country. to placing these people who are coming from abroad. under contracts to do labor in this land. upon the basis of the coolies. I do not want to extend the cooly system to them. I do not want to disgrace and dishonor them in that way. and I shall never vote for it.
