Tie sonate debate on tho bill limiting tho
transportation Of Chinese to tho United
Stntes to not exceeding fifteen persons by
any ono vessel, was M earnest one. Stripped
Of itH sontimontalism, the opposition to tho
bill coull really interposo no Wild objection
to either the legality Or tho cxpelicnoy Of
tho legislation. It will bo noticed that tic
further removed from personal contact with
tho Chinese tho moro intense wns tho objec-
tion to tho exclusion Of tho Coolie serfs, and
tho stronger wns tho gcntimoutality .wl.1cl,
demanded for them freq mud unlimited
almission to this country. :, Thu advocates
aud frlonds Of Coolio immigration objected
10 lilo Inv on scvornl grounds, Lilo principal
Of which may be stated as follows:
~ That our intercourse with China is
regulated by lreaty, and tint Congress- Ind no
power to thus nbrogato treaty. (o) Tint
it invites retaliation by China. {:D Tint
until lately wo lad no trado with Ohina,
mud that tho trade, espocinIy IN cotton man-
ufaotures, transferred recently TO this coun.
try, may bo givon back to Grant britain.
~ Tint tho larga American population in
China may DO, in retaliation, subjected to
insults and loss Of bnsIncss II not cxpul-
sion. " That tho prospective tra,lo with
tue hundreds Of millions Of Chinese will be
lost to tho United States forever. (G) That
1t Is donial of hospitality md right of
asylum which arc extended to all other
people.
These objections are altogether moro fauci-
ful than substantial. In tho first plaoc,
every natiou Inns OF necessity tile irhoront
right to regulate md control the migration
to and residence of peoplo Of foreign coun-
tries within It's limits. THIS power IL oxer-
ciso,l ty every Government, md cannot bo
Justly questioned. 10 nrguo otherwise
would DO 10 contend tint Government iuay
bartor or cetlo nway its own power to rogu-
lato and govern its own domestic policy.
Tho right to abrogato treaty is also uu-
questionable; whom Tho a5rogation iuser.
feres will. no property contract, tho power IL
absolute. Notices may bo required III m aot
of courtesy. hut they aro not cs6outial, md
IN tho Chinese treaty mono Ia required.
Tho Objection to tho bill bec.usu orr trade
with China is alleged to DO increasing, cs-
Ieclally in exports OF American cation

The Coolies in this country have tlso liberty
to 60 anywhere within lhe limits Of tho
United Statos, to engago IN any branch Of

bnsincsa is oIeh to them. Tho Americans in

nuntty to reside. 90 tho American restrio-

tatea by tho Chinese Government, would not
seriously nilent tho American population
present Or prospective in Uhinn.
Our principal imports from China aro tea
ansl silk. and We export California flour mud
some cotton cloth. China may impose a
discriminating duty on American aour and
cotton, thereby puniahing her own constn,-
ors, and 1nay Impose m export duty On toa
and silk soht to tho united States. In this
caso wo would simply have to purchase
Chinese silk and tca from Hong Kong, or we
would build up a trado in silk aud ten with

Tho allegation That this discrimination
