To such we are ever ready to extend the open hand and welcome them to our political and. social franchises and privileges. and far be it fromme and the honorable constituency I represent on this floor to shut the doors against any of this class. Our laws not only shelter and protect them while hert. but demand for them the same rights and protection accorded to Amnericanborn citizens wherever our flag floats. whether on land or sea and to this end we will. if necessary. use the strong arm of the military and naval forces of the United States. But I deny that this land is an asyltm for that class. who seek our shores for the mere purpose of curiosity or trade. with no appreciation of our free institutions. who refuse to adopt our customs or conform to our habits. who are not devoted to the cause of liberty or equality. who come here simply for purposes of temporary profit. or are brought here as coolies by companies formed in Chinanuder contract for servile labor. who refuse to assimilate with us. and who are unfitted by eduction. habits religious su perstition. and by their inborn prejudices to assume any of the duties that seciqty imposes on the citizen. All other countries have shown their apprtciation of ou institutions by accepting. in good faith the generous invitation we have extended to their citizens or subjects. Some of the best citizens of other countries have come here for the purpose of making it their home.
