State has the right to override the Federal laws
The State cannot afford to do it. II violate
the United States Constitution, then any citizen of
the State has the same right to violate own
Constitution The argument holds good through
out He did not believe that there VAS any man
starving in this State. He had never employed a
Chinaman, and was not their friend, but be wanted
to do things right. Men may be out Of work, but
there is no excuse for any man being
out Of work. There are no stout, hearty
Cinnamon going from door to door. They all
have work. There hundreds OF men In
the State who have forfeited their inheritance
They will not take the land which the State and
Government offers to them. They lack industry
