During that time the land was as full of trusts as Egypt was of lice. frogs. or flies. and it is as full of trusts yet. If that $500.000 had been effectively expended by the Department of Justice in vigorous prosecutions. every trust in the land would have been killed dead as a smelt long before this. The great body of the American peopleparticularly the laboring peoplewant these Chinese coolies kept out of here. It makes no difference how much it costs. and it makes no difference whom it makes mad. Congress did its duty by passing a good exclusion bill. and then supplemented that action by doing its duty by appropriating $600.000 a year for two years.
