Worse than that. Mr. President. six years after that time. when according to the Senator from Oregon they were coming in in shoals all the time. our Republican friends were so much in love with the idea that all men. whether they were black. yellow. or white. were the same thing exactly. and that a Chinaman was as good as an Irishman. with all these evils depicted to them. with Governor Stanford standing on the shores of the Pacific coast. in a State which had to bear the brunt of this immigration. warning them. in the language quoted by the Senator from Colorado. that these fellows would not do. warning them that they were destructive to our civilization. and all1 that sort of thing. they made the treaty. They did not do that ignorantly. They did it with their eyes wide open.
