I have done better than read the statement of Admiral Yarnell. I was reading the newspapeis at the time of the big fight to protect the Pacific coast from the immigration of these Ignorant coolies that worked for a dollar a day. They did not even get a dollar a day. When I was a boy the six companies flooded this country with Chinese. The only reason we do not have a worse Chinese problem today is because they did not bring in any women. The Chinese were all bachelors. They were all single. who were brought into this country to labor and naturally they died off after the Exclusion Act went into effect. There were enough Chinese on the Pacific coast to have colonized that country and taken it over from the white people completely. San Francisco today would be a Chinese city if you had not enforced this law that we are now trying to repeal.
