Organizations of this character. wherever they may be found. whether upon the Pacific coast or the interior of the country. or on the Gulf or the Lake shores. are willing to disregard the welfare of the masses of the peoplenot only their physical. but their moral and their spiritual welfare. They stand ready to override every consideration which should control an American citizen imbued with a proper appreciation of American manhood in order to get the benefit of cheap labor. although in getting it they degrade men of their own race and blood and fill their country with moral lepers. who would contaminate its manhood from ocean to ocean if there were enough of them here. The honest. genuine. bona fide opposer of Chinese exclusion will find nothing in this bill to offend him. Why this great solicitude for the Chinese? I take it we are doing no injustice to the Chinese when we keep him at home.
