House Without Amsndmsnt
The Senate bill to limit Chinese ina
migration was fully concurred in by
the House, not q single amendment
proposed to the measure which came
from the Senate having been agreed
to.
Among the closing speeches made
In favor Of the bill was that of Mr..
,wAshend, Of Illinois, who argued
that it was Democratic measure, and
that II it became a law all thanks
would be due to the Democrats of the
Senate and the House of Represents
tives, assisted by small minority of
the Republican party.
Mr.. Page, of California, took the
door for the closing hour Of the debate,
but yielded portions of his time to
several friends of the bill.
Mr.. Curtin, of Pennsylvania, said
that Congress had low come face to
face with a square, unadulterated
question of labor. One hundred thou
sand Chinese laboren in California
took the place of enc hundred thou
sand American laborers, and the
naked question was presented to Con-
gress whether that state of facts shouli
continue. When the Pacific Coast
came and asked that American labor
should be preferred the whole Ameri-
can people were touched by the ap-
peal, and 1t was the light and duty of
Congress to protect American citizens
against the introduction of heather
Chinese labor. This American Gov
eminent should set up for itself and
say to all the world: We shall say
who shall come and who shall not
come; who shall become citizens
and who shall not"
he protested against compelling the
people Of California to undergo the
evils of Chinese immigration. Put
100, 900 Chinese down in Massachusetts,
TO displace the enlightened workmen
Of that great State, and the violence of
Puritan denunciation would dwarf
the utterances o. the sand.lots and
brambles Of California. In conclusion
he stated THAI he would vote for the
bin a. it stood, because it was thought
by the Representatives of the Pacific
coast that it would remedy the evil of
which they were complaining.
After brief speech by Mr.. Cannon
(Ill.) in support of the bill, Mr.. Page
(CI.) took the floor and closed the de-
bate, when amendments were voted
upon

Iowa, to limit the peorid of suspension
Of immigration to ten years, was re-
iected-yeas, 100; nays, 13l.
