The Secretary of the Treasury may authorize the payment of such compensation in the nature of fees to the collectors of internal revenue. for servies performed under the provisions of this act in addition to salaries now allowed ny law. as he shall deem necessary. not exceeding the sun of t1 for each certificate issued. Approved May 5. 1n92. This act. as I have said. is radically and widely different from the bill known as the Geary bill which passed the House of Rep~resentatives. By this act and all existing laws providing for the restriction of Chinese immigration the restriction or prohibition of immigration is confined to Chinese laborers. one class of Chinese. Chinese officials. teachers. students. merchants. travelers. and in fact all other classes. may freely come to our shores. The act as passed continues existing restrictive legislation for ten years. while the Geary bill was unlimited as to its duration.
