Gentlemen say they simply want the educated Chinese classes to come over more freely. Thats the theory as it is propounded. but the trouble about this entire Chinese question is that all Chinamen look alike to us. and you can not tell one from tother or tother from which. [The time of Mr. CLARK of Missouri having expired. by unanimous consent it was extended five minutes.] They get the coolies in here in every sort of a way and by every sort of trick. The gentleman from New York [Mr. FrrzGEnALD] stated that the persons interested in getting coolies inthat is. the Chinese Six Companies in San Francisco. and a good many up on the northern border. and a good many on the Mexican bordermake a profit of from five hundred to one thousand dollars a head for every Chinaman they smuggle in. I read on the train today a piece in one of the Philadelphia papers. which I intended to cut out and keep to use here. not knowing that this question was coming up so soon. but I left the paper on the train. It gave an account of some place on the border where they had actually rigged up a tunnel to get the Chinese in here on the sly.
Identified stereotypes
All Chinamen look alike and are indistinguishable.
