Why. our extremity of views can be shown in the guards that are thrown around the class of merchants. The gentleman from California stated that under this provision a cooly had gotten in. Granted that was true. but it came out in the testimony that the man had paid a thousand dollars to evade the law. How many coolies will be able to raise a thousand dollars to evade the law. Why. many merchants of our country have not much more capital than a thousand dollars. and where a man is able to pay thatthere will not manycoolies come into our country who have to pay a thousand dollars. Why.
