Sir. the people are demanding a more drastic Chineseexclusion act. You have a drastic law now upon your books. It was made in contravention of a treaty. and yet it stands there. and before it expires there comes up the voice of our people saying. " Make this law still more drastic." Why? To prevent the tide of Chinese immigration that is coming into the great Western States and the East. Is not that true? But. not satisfied with that. every Congress has before it bills which would make it the harder for any European. no matter of what nationality. to come into the American land.
