It is time to speak now. and voting against this bill is voting worse and with more light than any man ever voted in the Senate. It is a pretense to say that you want to exclude Chinese. and say boldly that China may keep the treaty two or three years and that you will wait her good time. She agreed that the immigration should stop last May. and when we acted upon this treaty it was satisfactory to her. She holds it back and sends us this continual stream of laborers. and continues the traffic in vile women. and continues all this pestilential work. and the people of the Pacific coast are asked to wait patiently the good pleasure of China. but we tell her that they may come here as cooly slaves under contract and not come from any other country. But we are told China has four hundred millions of people and an enormous trade. and we must not offend her. and we must not legislate to protect our own people.
