The advance. Mr. President. being made by the Mongolian armies of Asia on and over American States and Territories. cities. towns. and hamlets. although not yet perhaps sufficiently large to justify the assertion of the existence of present multitudinous invasion. is nevertheless. when critically viewed. of a character to excite the deepest apprehension as to the future. When. fifteen years ago. the subject of the propriety of restricting Chinese immigration was first seriously brought to the attention of Congress by Senators and Representatives from the Pacific coast. there was only here and there a nomadic Chinaman to be found in any city or town east of the Rocky Mountains. Then this species of objectionable foreign immigration was located mostly in the States of California. Oregon. and Nevada. and in the Territories of Washington. Idaho. and Arizona. but how is it today ?
