His wants are circumscribed by the narrowest circle of human possibility. Without the American home. the isolation of families. and the influence of family ties. our form of society. government. and civilization would be impossible. The Chinaman who comes to America has none of these. he needs no home. his physical wants have conformed to his inherited character. he can sleep in a promiscuous crowd. in narrow quarters. where an American would suffocate. and live on a pittance that would unfit an American child for the active duties of life and dwarf him to the Asiatic type. Is it right to subject the American laborer to this competition? How many ages will it require to reduce his real wants to this necessity I How will the conditions of society be modified when the great body of American laborers realize that they are born into a condition of toil and must not hope for the consolations of home or the love of wife and children Will they be consoled by the glittering generality that our race fears ud conflict and that if it cannot survive any it ought to accept defeat?
