Amount.

1876. $4,000
1865 l50, 900
lSSS-90. $4,000
The amount asked for in the Appro-
priation Bill of Sc, 900 is extremely
moderate compared with the above
amounts former Legislatures deemed
wise to appropriate for this purpose, and
in view OF the present great demand for
labor and the probable necessity of intro
ducing at least 10, 600 during the period in
order to keep up with the demand OF the
various enterprises throughout the coun-
try, your committee recommend that the
item pass as in the Appropriation Bill.

am in accord with the report of the
majority OF the committee except in so
far that if the labor of Chinese is needed,
their coming and their staying here. and
their occupation, should be restricted in
such manner, that, except for the pur-
pose of supplying field labor, their num-
bers should not be increased, or the road
opened for them again to compete with
white labor. Further, l am not pre-
pared to believe that the introduction OF
so many as 10000 laborers will be re-
quired to meet the necessities of the
agriculturists.
