The object of the amendment is to prevent the coming into the United States and to take away from Hawaii those Asiatic laborers who came in under contractsome twentyfive or thirty thousand of them. It is not enough that the amendment offered by the gentleman from Massachusetts may exclude them from the United States proper. Whether it does it I can not tell. because I merely heard the amendment as it was read in the confusion of the House. but granting that it does. that. to my mind. is not sufficient. They ought not to remain in Hawaii. The contract system ought not to be maintained there. but they should be deported and should be dealt with in Hawaii. as well as in other parts of the United States. as are Chinese here against the provisions of our law. made. I suppose. for due reason and sufficient cause for the exclusion of the Chinese. I would like to have these ontract laborers taken out of the Hawaiian Islands as well as prevented from coming to any other part of the United States.
