The question I desire to ask the learned Senator is this: When you take a man into a country on a bond permitting him to do only a certain kind of labor. under penalty of deportation if he engages in any other kind of labor. is not that a species of bondage? The word "bondage" comes from being under bond. There may be bonds of different kinds. there may be bonds of slavery. there may be bonds imposed by pecuniary considerations. but nevertheless in each case it is a consideration which limits a mans liberty. Now. I desire to know from the Senator from Kansas. and I hope other Senators who agree with him will enlighten us upon that question. if it is not an approach to the slavery so often denounced here. and properly denounced. and which this country has absolutely repudiated. and with respect to which it has embodied in the fundamental law a declaration that it shall not exist in any manner. shape. or form in any place under the flag of the United States and the jurisdiction of its laws?
