This entire afternoon we have heard pleas on behalf of these very people. that we should permit them to come and after they have earned their money we should tell them to take that money and go back from whence they came. And these appeals in behalf of such aliens come from gentlemen who at all times favored and advocated stringent. yes. complete restriction. and the same gentlemen. notwithstanding their appeals for relief for their sections of the country. will. nevertheless.
