The unparalleled prosperity of this country is so great in comparison with that of other nations and especially that of the Chinese Empire. that this wily race has and will resort to all manner of means in order to avail themselves of the advantages attained in this country to evade the law. as is evidenced by their illegal entrance across the borders and the evasion of the law which provides for the return certificates of merchants. The law admits the return of the merchant class. The coolie class have no difficulty of assuming the guise of a merchant and with a fraudulent certificate. easily procured. they are prepared to and are in this manner evading the law. The coolie class. with which we have principally to deal. totally disregard the nature of an oath. they do not. as a rule. learn our language or care to understand the principles of our Government. they have no regard whatsoever for our laws. but have laws unto themselves. and their unwritten traditions are more binding upon them than our statutes. If they have families they do not bring them with them. They do not assimilate with us in any way. nor do they share the burden of taxation. and under the Constitution of the United States they can not become citizens.
