If I do not I hope I shall be allowed to put them in the RECORD. because I want the people of this country to know what my distinguished friend from Massachusetts thinks about it or did think about it. I do not know whether he thinks that way now or not. I do not know whether lie has been converted by what is called in debate here "the unanimous demand of the American people for this kind of legislation.I This other little piece of history to which I propose to allude will go to confirm the statement of the Senator from Colorado that the Republican party has been breaking its neck here for several years to try to stop Chinese immigration! On May 1. 1882. a very important act occurred in the House of Representatives. In view of the fact that the Senator from Colorado draws a distinction between the abrogation of treaties and the violation of treaties. let us see how the Republican party stood in 1882 upon a direct and squareout proposition to abrogate the Chinese treaty.
