I repeat. on any hostility to the African. it is not based upon any want of goodwill to the African. it is based upon the belief thai aiatins and races. as they have been constituted by the God of nature and by political and geographical divisions and arrangements. get on better as separate families with their separate independence and their separate institutions than they do amalgamated together. unless their origin their race. their tendency. their nature. is such that being put together they assimilate and become one perfect. homogeneons. and prosperous mass. I think that is the ground upon which this bill stands. It is the opinion of those who have promoted this bill. and I share in it. that it is not useful either to the people of the United States or to the people of the Chinese Empire. that an enlarged and growing and increasing immigration from that country to this should take place. The race. the religion. the habits. the modes of thought. the developments of the two nations are entirely different. and when I say they are entirely different. I do not mean to say that the Chinese race. the Chinese religion. the Chinese development is not better than the AngloSaxon. nor do I mean to say that it is.
