Mr. President. is the mare incredible from the fact that when the Senator from Colorado. as he has often done with such power and eloquence. has appealed in this Chamber for financial measures of relief upon the silver question and other financial questions. he has found the Southern brigadier shoulder to shoulder with him upon those questions of affording relief to the great agricultural constituencies of this country. but he has found every time every New England Senator voting "No!" "No!" "No! on those questions. So it was when he asked that by legislation he should be protected from Chinese immigration. The Southern Democrats voted with him and his colleagues to exclude the Chinese. and until this last vote was given every New England Senator had always voted to allow the Chinese to overrun his constituents notwithstanding his protest.
