Who can say that. in the inscrutable wisdom of the Great Creator. while He determined that civilization should begin in Asia and. marching through Europe. be thence transmitted to the American continent. barbarism. starting from the same place and traveling in an opposite direction. should not overwhelm that civilization. first beginning in our own fair land. Already it has a foothold on our Pacific shorea foothold firm enough to create the profoundest alarm in the minds of the people. Situated as we are. nearest of all civilized nations to these Asiatic hordes. so long shut up by the edicts of their benighted rulers. now let loose and urged on by the worst passions known to the human heartavarice. with all its degrading evilswho can say that at no distant day in the future our fair land. with its boasted fortyfour millions of enlightened people. may not be overwhelmed by an influx of hundreds of millions of these pagans. and our race extinguished. civilization destroyed. and the American continent given up to Asiatic idolators. Mr. Speaker. this frightfully pictured result is not impossible.
