From this overflowing hive. under auspices and agencies similar to those by which our people have been overrun by These aliens. they can be moved in disturbing volume to every section of the Union. They can establish factories first in the Pacific States and then farther East upon a system that brings little or no revenue to the Government. no increase of prosperity or comfort to *he communities in which they settle. and can proceed. for the reasonsheretofore given. to establish a competition against both American products and American workmen. before which both will fall and disappear. This somber picture may become a reality. and our present inaction in the direction of restrictive legislation against the influx of Mongolians upon our soil invites and renders practicable every evil I have endeavored fairly to depict. In the interest of American productions and American producers. I implore this honorable body to interpose and avert these threatening ills.
