Donald? I was not her6 in the Sixtythird Congress. I think it was. when they passed the shipping bill. but I understand that bill provides a literacy test for seamen. and that the purpose was to take the Chinese and other foreigners who could not speak the English language off our ships. John A- Donald is the greatest representative of the opposite view who runs ships in and out of New York Harbor. On every one of his seven ships every possible place that can be filled by a Chinaman is filled by a Chinaman. Further than that. the British have a literacy test in their law somewhat along the same lines as ours. with this exception. that it shall not apply. to subjects of Great Britain. Therefore every man on John A. Donalds seven ships. every Chinaman. has to certify that he is a native of tht island of Hongkong.
