THE President saw fit to veto
the Chinese bill. The bill at best
was an odd piece Of legislation,
and its passage was a surprise to
all who knew of a treaty made
many years ago, which gave those
people a right to these shores.
The act was unjust to the people OF
China. 1t is foreign the the ge-
MUS of our country, and fraught
with peril to a great many inter-
ests. 1t would be breaking faith
with the Celestial Empire, and
and stamp this government with
inconsistency and reproach. 1t
would necessarily interfere with
our commercial interests with that
country, and the American mer-
chants now doing business in Chi
ma would lose all their property.
America cannot afford to give up
all for the interests of a few sand
lot orators. If the Chinese make
money in this country where
others fail, they should not be
cursed for their industry and fru'
gality.
