I am not going to lay down any such principle as that. But I say that when we do exclude any persons we should do it consistently. We should exclude all the Mongolians of all types. all the negro types. all the types and races which we do not consider quite equal to ourselves. and not draw a line so as to exclude only these particular Mongolians. There is no sense in that. no justice in it. We have today in this country 5.000.000 of negroes. more or less. to whom we have given the right of suffrage. Every one knows that the negro type is certainly not higher than the Mongolian or yellow type. Have they destroyed us? Here are my honored friends on the other side from the South who live among the negroes. side by side with them and in fellowship with them.
