We find the samecondition of things existing on the Pacific slope. where the imported Chinee is competing with free American labor. We find the same condition of things to exist in the south with the greaser from Mexico. All that we ask in this bill is that the Congress of the United States will see that decent. respectable American labor. that has come here to make this its home and Americanize with us. shall not be placed in competition. first. with convict labor. and. second. that it shall not be placed in competition with alien labor that does not come here to make this its home. but simply to maraud upon us. and earn our money and take it back from our country. I demand the previous question on the bill. The previous question was ordered. and under the operation thereof the bill was ordered to be engrossed and read a third time. and being engrossed. it was accordingly read the third time.
