Who was it that originated a bill repealing this law? It originated in a Democratic House of Representatives. Not only was the law allowing the importation of contract laborers repealed. but an amendment was made afterwards. with the approval of President Cleveland. which made the vessel bringing them to this country liable for the expense of transporting them back. and by a clause I offered. which was adopted. if it failed to do so. prevented it Itrom entering in or clearing from our ports. This President Ceveland made effective by his approval. I leave this House to determine which has manifested the greatest affection and which has bestowed the greatest blessing upon the laboring man in this case. the honorable gentleman from Pennsylvania or the President whose message he criticises.
