| ENHANCING THE STATE
When | was in the Senate | il
creased the size of Nevada one Dc
gree on each side, and brought i
new mining and agricultural land.
but if we are to take rank anon
the States we must have more ter
ritory. We have more Territorie
than we can make States. Idah'
canno; make State, and they pro
pose to annex part to Washington
Territory. Wyoming cannot be q
State, and there they make a new
division. Nevada ought to make a
new State.
| The speaker then showed on the
map how they could take part Of
the Territories of Idaho and Wy
oming. This he said would give
the State a size and Importance
that would wipe out the name of
the Rotten Borough Applause.
The State would be too big to buy.
The vast sums squandered by the
! purchase of people had been sunk
| in the hands of a few mercenary
wretches. and the people had never
seen it. Applause.
NATURAL RESOURCES.
There is chain Of lakes and
rivers from Mono Lake to Cali
fornia, and by proper handling
million acres could tie irrigated.
Not over three per cent was used,
and the rest ran to waste. BY a
system Of reservoirs and dammlng,
great wealth could be added to the
country. Out on Walker river a
man who had been in water litiga-
ton told me that half the fee of
one Of the lawyers would have built
reservoir that would have given
him all the water he wanted.
| suggest photographic and ty
geographic survey, and when the
real facts are known the Z. s. Gov
eminent Will come to the rescue
and by uniting with the State can
help the development SO as to make
a leading agricultural State Of Ne
vada. The best land in the State
Is not yet taken up; only the cold
land along the streams We can
make this State the leading State
of the West by enterprise and
thrift. [Applausel
THE CHINESE QUESTION.
The Chinese question is Of great |
importance here. The Importation
Of the Coohe has nearly ruined the
rising generation. An attempt was
made in Congress to naturaIiZe the
Chinaman. Mr.. Sumner made an
attempt to give all colors a chance;
Chinese and all. | objected to the
bill: Williams. of Oregon and myself
fought the proposition, and we pre-
vented it from passing.
The speaker then gave an inter
esting history Of the fight in the
Senate, by which the proposition
was beaten. Nineteen Republicans
md eight Democrats stood against
he naturalization of the Coolies.
Europe has meyer been able to
,elonize Asiatic land, and when
he boards of Asia reach they stay
Naturalize them and they will stay
or ever. Had the Asiatics dis
covered America first We would not
,e here. Let no more Chinese
ONE. | don't want a Restriction
Act, | want an Exclusion Act.
Applause.
They have been 20 years inter-
into our social system
Wy idea is to cause a public senti-
nent to grow that will gradually
.et them away. Cease to employ
hem, get rid Of them, but do it
awfully, and let me tell you that
GU can't get them out without
Government help, Applause.
If we persecute' them they will
~ aside our Restriction bills and
axe up the Chinese Indemnity
ills, as the Democrats did last
Winter. Appeal to the East in the
:ght way and tell them how impos
ible it is to mix the seryile labor
f the Orient with us, and the East |
ill be as strong anti Chinese as I
on are Applause and cheers s
;ut tell them that you will kill the {
hinese and drive them out by i
