Chinese civilization and American civilization meet upon the shores of the Pacific. and we have got to breast this storm. this influx from Asia in our Stats. We see it m all its bearings. in allits evils. We so thatit is driving our own citizens and European immigration from us . we see that if it is to be cqntinued. with our now commercial relations. with steam commnication with China. in the course of time they must outnumber us. China might spare one million or five millons of its surplus population without experiencing the sensation of a vacuum. They will come if there is a field for them. and they will enter at once into competition with our people in every field of labor. If you should extend to them the elective franchise. they must have absoltely the control of tht State. There is but one word that prevents their beingj made citizens. the word "white" in our naturalization laws. Stin e that out. and Californiawill surrender to the Mongolian. I have a pamphlet here which was recently sent to me. from which I will read a passage. which presents tieo subject as fully as any words of mine can illustrate. it. It is as follows: By their coming as servile labor. they add nothing to our military strength. nothing to our material wealth. nothing to our political welfare. nothing to our moral improvement. nothing to our educational interests. notldtg to our architectural beauty. nothing 1c ore estheti taste. and no refining influence to our social inter. course. but ttcetly to the contrary o? all these so that the only osihblo advantage of their preserco is to cheapen ths price of citizen labor. Bet ne rsallyto chea~pen the price ostan article is to iejmre tlse elms of tpersons interested ic Its prodection . en to cleapen the price of citizen latter is to igjurs the whole lebrimug rlase because labor isttir capital. ifut as te price of labor and capital is always re niate~l in imrlotsccertlilg to eupplvaunod ea.ae exceos of servile larhc.wll retlce the deunatmu tot citizen lalo. herefore doe.pen the later si a citizen. by intadicing a lower re of cervile laborer.. is to exclude the citioen. and often a whole family. for one orcvie laborer tml o fycd. That presents the case precisely as it is. There is another phase of this Chinese immigration. so called. to which I desire to call the attention of the Senate. I have stated that they do not come here i the character of immigrants. with wives and ehildru nd the surroundings of home. but we do have female immigration. They bring females under contrnets for purposes too vile for me even to mention in this Chamber. Their persons are bound for a term of years. and yomg girls from fifteen to twenty years of age are brought to California. owned entirely by those who brig them.
Identified stereotypes
The speaker generalizes that Chinese immigrants add nothing positive to American society and threaten to take over California if given the right to vote. They also bring women for immoral purposes.
