It is a substitution of Chinese and their civilization for white aen and AngloSaxon civilization. This involves considerations higher than mere economic theories. If the Chinese are as desirable as citizens. if they are in all the essential elements of manhood the peers or the superiors of the Cricasian. if they will protect American interests. foster American institutions. and become the patriotic defenders of republican govermnent. if their civilization does not antagonize ours nor contanuinate it. if they are free. independent men. lit for liberty ard selfgovernment as European immigrants generally are. then we may begin argument upon tile question whether it is better or worse. wise or unwise. to permit white men. American citizens. or men of kindred races. to be supplanted and the Chinese to be substituted in their places. Until all this and more canbo showntheadvocates of Chinese importation or immigration have no base upon which to even begin to build argument. But in saying this I would not be understood as seeking to avoid the economic question in respect of the relation of cheap huborto the production of national wealth. Far from it.
