They are slavish and more patient than Europeans. and they have their own institutions which they worship. and if we allow them to conic here they will occupy the soil. Open the gates to China and she will populate this country. Give the Chinese suffrage and the Chinese Government and the owners of Chinese laborers would control our elections. They would bring them here by contract. naturalize them. and control their votes. When these facts were known in the East there was a universal conviction as to what was proper to be done. We now know that it is no discrimination against any race that has a right to be here.
