I do not relate this anecdote in disparagement of the Jew. his superiority in trade must be admired by the Gentile. who is compelled to do his bidding. I do not want to place my race in competition not only with the servile labor of the cooly slave. but with the overreaching avarice and patient cunning of the wily Chinese. The Mongolians already occupy twothirds of the globe. and number twothirds of the people. Wherever they come in peaceable competition with the white race they must prevail. If we open our country to them. with our rate of wages. our laborers can not exist. The only way that the people of Western Europe can maintain themselves against Asia is by superior physical power and the use of arms. They can not maintain themselves on the field of industry. they can not supplant Asiatics. but will be supplanted by them everywhere. That is my experience from a careful observation of these people for the last forty years. I have offered a resolution calling on the President of the United States to negotiate a treaty with China excluding Chinese altogether. except embassadors and diplomatic agents and merchants engaged in foreign trade.
