We feel that we should have the united. earnest. and liberal support and efforts of all in endeavoring to solve this much vexed problem. I understand. as we all understand. that under our Constitution and laws we welcome all men. The cunning hand. the inventive brain. the vivid imagination. the profound insight. the rollicking humor. each contribute some element to the great whole. Immigration of honest. clean. healthy. industrious labor is an unmixed good. The importation of convict. cooly. or any other labor of that character is an unmitigated evil. The appropriations heretofore have been of a limited character and not sufficient. in the judgment of the officers. in amount to guard the border and keep the Chinamen from entering our country.
