The Senator has several times called to our attention the existence of the negro population in this country as in soine way bearing on this proposed legislation. I wish to remind him that in just the same way that we allow the negro who is here to remain. we permit the Chinaman who has come by authority of law to remain also. so that the two classes are upon the same ground in that respect. As to the future. it seems the general policy is to exclude the Chinaman. I ask the Senator whether lie would be in favor of the exclusion of negro immigration for all future time?
