The bill is carefully drawn so as to do no injustice to anybody. No true American wishes to do injustice to any foreigner. be he European. African. or Asiatic. The bill amply provides for the rights and conveniences of Chinese entitled to enter or reside in this countrythe Chinese laborers registered as residents. or the Chinese teachers. students. merchants. and travelers who may wish to enter and remain temporarily in the United States. There can be no complaint against the bill on this score. The gentlemen who have appeared before the committee in opposition to the bill. the gentlemen who are so desirous of increasing their profits in trading with China. say that they are not pleading the cause of coolie labor. that they do not object to the prohibition of Chinese labor in this country. Then why do they object to this bill? They say all they care about is to make sure that Chinese teachers and merchants are not interfered with.
