I know. and everybody knows. that if I have a principle I am going to stick to that principle. My principle Is. after careful analysis and study. that I am prepared to meet any argument upon any American platform that the 1890 census discriminates and is not American Justice. My friend. the gentleman from Oregon . during the debate. said that we ought to close the doors of the United States to immigration. Why does le not stick to that proposition? I would commend him for his stand. but when lie comes before this committee and seeks to justify the 1890 census he forgets about his little bill in the committee. which demands the closing of the doors.
