While the sheets of the second half of this volume were passing through the press, I received a letter from Mr. Denis Kearney, making remarks on some of the statements contained. As he responded to my invitation to state his case, made in reply to a letter of remonstrance from him, I am anxious that all the justice I can do him should be done.
Chinese immigration is excluded.
There are a few smuggled in over the borders of British Columbia on the north and Mexico on the south. I spent the winter of 1887-8 in New York and Washington agitating for the total exclusion of the Chinese, which resulted in the Scott Exclusion Act of 1888. My next fight will be to get Canada to pass an Anti- Chinese Exclusion Law. At present she is being made the dumping ground for Asiatic pests who are afterwards smuggled into our country. This, my dear sir, must not be considered a voice from the tomb.
