Mr. President. the American people have already taken a great stand on this question. and one that redounds to our credit. The question of immigrationas to who shall hereafter be entitled to come from foreign countries to reside in theUnited Statesis one that has not yet been fully worked out. there are likely to be other acts of exclusion placed upon our statute books. That immigration which threatens the direst results of all. the immigration from China. has been measurably stopped. Think what the results would have been had there been no exclusion act of 1882. of 1884. and of 1888. Probably. instead of there being 200.000 or 300.000 Chinese in this country. we would have had by this time a million or more Chinese in our midst. with all of their demoralizing influences. It is true that the Pacific coast has thus far felt the burden of this evil.
