I would not be quite willing to agree with the Senators statements as to the .treaty of 1868. Of course it was an application. by agreement. apparently. between the United States and China. of the general principle which permits the subjects of one country to go freely. on lawful errands. to another. and under the treaty of 1868 itwas an engagement upon the part of the United States that the Chinese might come freely into this country. Now. under the treaty of 1880 it was agreed that the United States might enact laws suspending the immigration of certain Chinese for a period of ten years. as I remember it.
