W. Three halves. and we have annexed Asiatics by the thousand. We have annexed 37.000 contract laborers and 25.000 or 30.000 Asiatics who are not. contract laborers. and now we try to flatter ourselves- overthe delusion. that we aregoing to make a Territory in the center of the Pacific and ultimately admit it as a State into this Union. Is this. the material out of which an American State is made. with less. than 1.200 voters who are Americans. with a population. of Asiatics whose males and females: are in the proportion. of 10 to 1. for under their system of importing labor the contract provides. that I woman. only hhall be brought for each 10 men. So whert they bring in 10.000 Asiatics they bring in 1.000. women. Does this. brothel. then. in the Pacific. possess the elements. and will. itever possess the elements out of. which you. can.construct an American State? It is all nonsense. it can not be done.
