If you do not pass this bill and Congress adjourns. this whole question will confront you at the next session. and this evil will go on increasing and increasing. The House of Representatives are considering charges now against our judges. who have hitherto stood above reproach and their decisions respected in every part of the Union. because under your laws and the decisions of the Supreme Court they have had to issue writs of habeas corpus and allow Chinamen to come in. I do not believe that one in ten has a right to land under your act excluding contract labor.
