President. by these hasty and illconsidered measures we may retard and jeopardize the business interests. and woe to the party and to the man who. for a temporary advantage in an election. will violate the great principles which ought to govern the actions of nations and thereby make it impossible for us to extend our commercial facilities. It will be a sad day for the country. The Senator from Nevada ought to restrain his impatience. His people are harassed by these Chinese. I know. for I have witnessed it. Undesirable and bad as it may be. we have no right to strike such a blow pending the consideration of the treaty. The treaty as it came to this body effectually excluded further immigration. The Senate amendments. not material. caused the delay. but for that the question would have been satisfactorily settled.
