I have other statistics to show thiit several thousand of those who thus ctame were illiterate and should not have been admitted. How they got by is more than I can tell. I think we will be able to prove that there tire intny thousands of these 53.000 who have been admitted ald who have paid head tax were actually brought in here in violation of the contract labor laws of tile United States with their liad tax of $8 each paid for them. As Arivn S soon as we get this bill passedthe clauses In It which give a little more leeway as to the deportationwe will then be able to throw out of the United States a whole lot of these Mexicans (ontrulcted to .e brought in here at $5 per head plus the head tax of $1. .1r. SARATT. Will the gentleman yield?
