Thiat is not true of the conditions which exist In the Southern States. because they have been fixed by time. which we call not undo or recall.. But if we have any pretense whatever to the qualifications which should fit a man for a seat in this body we can look somewhat into the future and deal with the beginning of another great racial question which begins to loom in large lines on the horizon. and a greater. question than any that have troubled otler sections of the country in the past. It is not a question of how many orientals a month come into the United States but it is a question of having 168.000.000 orientals who ire.ready to come in or to send emigrants in to begin their competition in the industrial life of America. if steps are not taken to insure their exclusion. The Senator from South Carolina says that this amendment will not make any difference in the existing conditions. If it does not make any difference in the existing conditions. it does not affront any nation. -it does not name any nation. why does he object to it? It does make a difference in existing conditions because it puts upon the statute books of the United States what is now merely a patchedup informal understanding. illy enforced. througli which there are constantly -coming into the United States that stock which the Senator fronm California has described. which is to breed upon our shores those who do not have to comply with the naturalization laws of the United States. because they are born citizens. That is the difference which it makes. It makes It without the violation of a treaty. without infringing in the slightest particular any passport or gentlemens agreement.
