Since exclusion has been placed upon the statute books China and Chinese and the Six Companies have been found prolific in schemes to evade the law. And why? Because they come here under a peculiar contract system that makes it extremely profitable to those interested in Chinese immigration. And then there are great steamship lines and great railroad lines to and in the United States which see in the breaking down of the barriers incalculable profits in the carrying of Chinese. first across the ocean and then across the land. first in the steamer and then in railway car. It has been said that capital is without conscience.
