I can not hope. after the extended debate already had. to add much to what has been so ably said on this question. Coming. however. from the Western coast. where we have the Chinese in our midst in large numbers. I desire to call the attention of the House to some of the evils of the importation of coolie labor. This is a British industry. Most of the laborers that are imported into this country come from a British colony in China. a city controlled and dominated by the ruling power of the British Empire. Hongkong. They are shipped in British bottoms to the city of Vancouver in British Columbia. There that city charges each coolie laborer a per capita ttx of $50 for his entrance fee. and he is then smuggled into this country across the Straits of Fuca. among the San Juan Islands. along the Pacific Railroad. down the Columbia River. and along the Canadian Pacific Railroad as far as it runs. coming in wherever they cat get a chance from the Canadian borders. There are men engaged in the business of piloting them who charge the coolie laborers so much per head for guiding them across the line and into this country. It is a regular industry among some people. These people are here in violation of the act of Congress known cs the Geary law.
