The State and municipal authorities may deal as best they can of course with these evils where they find them exiting within their respective jurisdictions. but the belief is on the Pacific coastof course there are exceptionsbut the general belief there is. if I am not mistaken. and it is my unqualified opinion. that the only way to put an end to the immigration of even.Chinese laborers to this country is to enact an absolute exclusion law. one that will not recognize the right of persons to come in as merchants or in any other capacity except as diplomatic and consular officials. That is what the House bill does. It is the same bill. as I said in respect of its repressive provisions. that was introduced by me in 1886. and which has been introduced by me at every session since. and as has been already shown it met with the general approval of the press and the people of the Pacific coast.
