We havehad the colored race made citizens and voters. They were here. they had to be provided for. and they have been provided for by our civilimation. ht ths Anglo.Saxon race. powerful in individuality. strong in numbers and in sntelligence. was able to bear that. Btt these Mongolians are aliens to our civilization. aliens in blood. liens in faith. and clogs to the free movement of the wheels of Christian civilization and enlightened progress. Let the Mongolian race come here limitless in numbers (because they are as munerous hn their country almost as the sands on the sea shore) and you place such a clog on the wheel of progress as will in time stop it altogether. There is today direct railway connection between the State of Texas and the Pacific slope. A few days will carry a Chinaman or anybody else from San Francisco out into Texas.
