I care not whether the life be the life of an individual. a family. a race. a nation. or of a civilization. God has given to everything worthy of life in this world the instinct and has made it a duty to resist attacks from whatsoever quarter. and although your problem out on the Pacific coast is not as serious a one as that with which we are struggling in the South. it may in time become so. There will come a time. if the influx of Chinamen goes on upon the Pacific slope. when the demagogue will. in order to bolster up party purposes. demand that the Mongolian be equipped with the suffrage "in order that he may defend himself." I do not remember a single effort of any great man that is so indelibly impressed upon my mind as that of Thomas Jefferson. made early in the history of this country. when he tried to prevail upon our forefathers in Virginia. not only to stop the importation of negroes.but to emancipate and deport them. He failed. He acknowledged that the failure of the effort was because the people were not prepared for it.
