If we could have sufficient appropriation to carefully and honestly adminisler the law. and appoint sufficient numbers of inspectors to guard the frontier. I believe it would not be long until the question would solve itself in this manner. The people of the great West are thoroughly interested in regard to this matter without regard to party. It is a battle of the white man against the Asiatic. of the American laborer against the worse than pauper labor of Asia. In this contest every white man except the sentimentalist is arrayed on one side. and the Chinamen is on the other. There is no question but that the Chinaman is a detriment to our modern civilization.
