This he cannot do when brought in competition with Chinese labor. He cannot compete with those people without meeting them on their own plane. which means that he must content himself with a mere existence must forego the family relations. and be a stranger to the home and home comforts of our civilization and be compelled to herd in droves and domicile in dens. This is Chinese civilization. and to it the American laborer must be reduced or be driven from the land. if there is to be no restriction to Chinese immigration. I know we boast of our prowess as a nation. and regard ourselves as the highest type of the human race. and therefore some are disposed to say that if our people cannot compete with the Chinaman they ought to be supplanted by them. The individual who is ready to act upon that proposition is ready to exchange American civilization for that of the Chinese.
