Let me give you an illustration from the great metropolis of the Pacific. a city which in the short space of a quarter of a century has grown from a Mexican hamlet to. in many respects. the second city of our great Republic. Number its three hundred thousand Caucasian souls. its hundreds of nsillions of wealtha commerce excelled by but one city on the continent . its people as intelligent. virtuous. industrious. and patriotic as any. and generous to a fault. as the distressed of all parts of the globe will cheerfully testify. The six blocks in San Francisco now occupied by the Chinese coolies. or slaves was once the heart of that city. Thrift and enterprise once were there. These blocks but a few short years ago were inhabited by people of our own race. surrounded by their loved wives and little ones.
