It means that the scenes of squalor. of poverty. and distress found among the laboring poor of Europe. which make the heart sick to contemplate. shall be the future lot and portion of the great laboring classes of America. Ay. Mr. Chairman. it means more than that. It means that the importation of Chinese coolies. which today. like a great cancer upon the bodypolitic in the Pacific Coast States. threatens their lives. shall be renewed and be unrestricted. The very contemplation of such results shocks the sensibilities of every friend of labor. I pray God that in my time the economic principles which lead directly to such results will never find sway or control in America.
