No people. however proud or strong. need flatter themselves that they are beyond the reach of vicissitude. Though they be. like the Ethiopians of old. the favorite associates of the gods. they may descend to the abasement and turpitude of slaves. We can not afford to go even halfway down to the Asiatic level in order to proportionately uplift their civilization. We have enacted laws which stand like cherubim with flaming sword at the gateways of the Republic to drive back the hordes of the dark and degenerate races of the East. lest they may enter in to infect and to degrade us. Whatever may happen.
