There is something so honorable in work. something so noble in industry. that the ingenuous mind regards injustice to .the toiler with mingled feelings of indignation and contempt. This is a grave proposition and I earnestly hope that the chairman of this committee will at least be liberal enough to provide sufficient money to protect the honest laborer in that section of thecountry where I reside from the continual violation of this law. The question of immigration is a grave and important one. and especially that portion which relates to cooly labor. We have to the east of us 300.000.000 of discontented people. and to the west of us 400.000.000 of uncivilized and unchristian races. Upon this. our native land. these two streams meetone white and the other yellow.
