Mr.. Bacon-1 understand the propo.
sition as formulated by the Senator
and even as considered by the commit.
tee. to be predicated upon the condi.
ton that the Chinese must be brought
In there for n certain purpose. under
bonds limiting them to certain kinds OF
labor?
Mr.. Burton-Yes. sir.
Mr.. Bacon-The question desire to
ask the learned Senator is this: When
you take a man into n country on n
bond permitting him TO do only a GER
tain kind of labor. under penalty OF de.
portation II he engages in any other
kind of labor, is not that a species OF
bondage? The word bondage comes
from being under bond. There may be

bonds Of slavery: there may be bonds
imposed by pecuniary considerations

consideration which limits mans lib
erty.
