I believe in the doctrine of equal rights . but I would rather there were a wall of impenetrable tire built arouid the Chinese Empire tha3 that the admission of Chinamen into this Republic of ours should establish caste and classilications of society based upon blood and nationality. Mr. Speaker. that means an "irrepressible conflict" in this country. it means that you are to have the Mongolian. the African the Caucasian. and what little is leftofthe Indian clearly classified. It means that you will open the door in the West for the Mongolian and close the door in the East for the Caucasian. Every Chinaman in this country today is a substitute for and has kept out mm honest German. Irishman. Welshman. Englishman. or other Caucasian. The tide of immigration comes front the Caucasian race just in proportion as inducements are offered to it. The tide of immigration comes hero just in proportion as you will pay wages better than they can carn in their own country. The tide of immigration from the Caucasian race will stop just so soon as you get down to this lower stratum of Mongolian slave labor. Sir. let the Celestial Empire remove the brand of slavery from Chinese labor and there will be no clamor for this bill. Gentlemen.
