I should prefer to exclude the seller rather than the purchaser. Let us make the bill as perfect as possible. so that our citizens may derive the greatest good from it. We are all in favor of the provisions excluding the Chinese coolies from this country. It may seem ungracious to select one nation from among all the nations of the world and say to her "Your citizens shall not be permitted within our borders." but selfpreservation demands it. The protection of American labor demands it. and the protection of American labor is one of the most important objects which the Republican party has in view.
