Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1882-11-02


but l do think that this explana
tion is due from me, in justice
to the Republican party, Il
Cassidy is trying to give the
Democrats the credit of passing
that bill.
THE RESUMPTION ACT.
"Mr. Cassidy said the resump-
ton act was simply joint reso-
luton that passed both Houses
of Congress, and that it did not
require the signature of the
President, and that the Demo-
Gratis all voted for it. The truth
of that is simply this: a joint
resolution does require the sig
nature Of the President, but
this was not a joint resolution at
all. It was an act and did re-
quire the signature of the Presi-
dent, and not one single Demo
crat voted for it when it passed. j"
Senator Jones then took up the
CHINESE QUESTION
And said: ~ have given my
close attention 10 this subject out
of season and in season. have
Iabored necessarily to rid this
country of the pestiferous
heather. know that the coun-
try n1,,st get rid of them. Every
bill Introduced excluding them
was drawn up by Republicans.
Page, Miller and myself drafted
the ten-year restriction bill.
The veto Of the twenty-year bill
was the most fortunate thing
that ever happened to this
country. If it had become a
law the gates of China would
have been opened and this
country would have been tlooIt d
by these pestiferous Mongolians.
The certificates the bill required
them to have before coming
here could and would have been
fraudulently obtained and sent
to China by post. Armed with
their certificates the people of
that nation would have come to
this country in unlimited num-
bers. Republicans saw this and
the Pacific coast representatives
Immediately took steps to draft
a new bill restricting their COM
ing here, and it will eventually
rid the country of their presence.
RAILROAD MATTERS.
Senator Jones then took up
the railroad question, and asked
what would have been thought
20 years ago if a charter had
been grented a corporation to
build Il wagon road and had
given but one man or one COM
pany the right to haul wagon
over the road. "Mr. Cassidy
takes up the Reagan bill and
fiaunts it in the faces of this
people, knowing that TO men
ton that bill is like waving a
red fl g in the face of an in
furiated ball. We shall soon
have 200, 200 miles Of railroad,
and l do not believe the Reagan
bill can regulate SO vast an in
dustry. l believe that the plan
to free the people from the yoke |
is to build an air line with the
money that the government can
borrow at - per cent. interest !

road any more than it should !
run or control wagon road or
any other highway. Let there !
be six tracks if necessary. Let !
any man or company of men
start a transportation business.
The road will not be over
crowded. There will be no col |
isions. The numerous trains
on the government
built road could move by each
other as easily as they now do
IN roads owned by Jay Gould,
or Stanford & Co.
The same tagging and other ar
would hold. Freight
would go down enormously and

When the Reagan bill comes up
IN the Senate it will be discus

word and line by line before it

God that such is the case, for |
