What is the result? The law has been a dead letter upon the statutebook. as shown by the evidence now being taken by a committee of this House in New York. The President and his Secretary of the Treasury. with ample means at hand. have made no considerable effort to enforce this law. But the gentleman from Indiana [Mr. ByiNUm] complains that the Republican party and General Harrison have not flvorcd legislation to prevent Chinese immigration. I have not the time to go into the detail of legislation touching the Chinese. That has been ably and fully covered by my colleagues.
