No man can prophesy what result may come from it. lint we lave at least answered the demands of the country that the legislation should be had. I shall not go through with all the various matters which have occupied the attention of this Congress. but there are one or two others to which I will refer. The Pacific coast has been for years agitated by Chinese immigration. The question within what restrictions or limits the Chinese should be allowed to imtuigrate to this country other Congresses had confronted as we confronted it. We believed a policy should be determined upon and the subject be removed from politics. that the people of the Pacific States and of the whole country. however the question might be determined. would be better off if it were settled.
