I wish to put myself upon record as opposed. not only to this report of the committee of conference. but to the principles upon which this bill in its original shape is founded. The Senator from Massachusetts has furnished a conclusive argument to show that there is no necessity for this legislation. either to limit. restrict. or prevent the migration of Chinese here. If it be true that the Government of China is oppesed to the emigration of thos3 people from its borders. what remains but to have a treaty with China absolutely prohibiting all kinds of Chinese coming here and fixing the details of the methods by which they shall be excluded or punished if they come? That is certainly true if th Chinese Government are opposed to their coming here. But I have another objection.
