They will. in contact with the civilization of Europe and America. remain Chinese. and so a reason exists for keeping them out of our country that exists for keeping out of the country no other class of people who desire to come here. The Senator from Minnesota said that Chinamen did not come here to remain. but they came here with the intent to return. That is the objectionable feature of this immigration. it is objectionable because they come here simply to take money out of the country and return to their homes. They take no part in building up the society in which they live. The lowest immigrant who comes from Europe. whether he be a convict. pauper. or otherwise. comes here and contributes something to civilized society. he puts his children in school. and the great mass of them contribute materially to the prosperity of this country. but China contributes elmply what is contributed in any count by cheap labor. The Chinaman comes in competition with the American laborer and deprives him of opportunities. While the Chinese laborer is absolved from all obligation to society whatever. the American citizen is compelled to bear all the burdens of society.
