Whenever in the opinion of the Government of the United States the coming of Chinese laborers to the United States or their residence therein affects or threatens to affect the interests of that country. or to endanger the good order of the said country or of any locality within the territory thereof. the Government of China agrees that the Government of the United States may regulate. limit. or suspend such coming or residence. but may not absolutely prohibit it. The limitation or suspension shall be reasonable. and shall apply only to Chinese who may go to the United States as laborers. other classes not being included in the limitations. Legislation taken in regard to Chinese laboyers will be of such a character only as is necessary to enforce the regulation. limitation. or suspension of immigration. and immigrants shall not be subject to personal maltreatment or abuse. That is one class. See how broad the powers are of the Government of the United States. with the consent of the Chinese Government expressly stated in article 1 of the treaty of 1880.
