I have no fear that a law will not be passed within a few days which will exclude Chinese. The sentiment of the whole country demands it. the safety of labor demands it. and Congress will comply with such demands. The situation is not now as it was in 1870. when the struggle lasted over the 4th of July to prevent the extension of the right of naturalization to the millions of Asiatic coolies who were being imported into the country. The sentiment is universal. or nearly sm. that Chinese laborers shall not be permitted to come here. The earnest discussion of this bill shows too plainly the determination of the people which is behind it.
