I do not propose to go into a history of Chinese law or Chinese polity in this brief debate that I have here this day. and in which I shall participate for a very short time. I speak of my information. Of course I do not suppose that the bosom of China is very widely opened or unlocked to anybody. but I know enough of that despotic government to understand perfectly well that if a minister should come here and make a representation that the Emperor of China desired to prohibit the immigration of laborers from China to the United States when that was not true. and he had no authority for saying so. he would lose his head.
