And that is not all. We are not only two or three or four when they come. but we remain two or three or four forever. because no matter how long these unassimilable races are here. we never become one. and can not become one without sacrificing things of great importance. without lowering our very race itselfnot its standard. not merely its thought and its civilization. but its blood itself. I sought to get an amendment almost identically the same upon the last immigration bill. and proposed to offer it at this time later on. and had mentioned it to some of my friends. but tile Senator from Missouri has offered it in this shape. and I want to vote for it. although I think it could be better worded.I say. gentlemen. you can not stand consistently before the American people and tell them that you vote for Chinese exclusion while you vote for African admission. when you know and I know and they know that the Chinaman is of a very superior race to the African.
