Let me cite single witness to the
result of the method prescribed by the
author of Christianity.

There is another most remarkable
example Of this prejudice of race which
has happily almost died out here.
which has come down from the dark
| ages and which survives with una
bated ferocity in Eastern Europe. l
mean the hatred of the Jew. The
persecution Of the Hebrew has never.
so far as I know, taken the form of
an affront to labor. In every other
particular the reproaches which for
ten centuries have been leveled at him
are reproduced to do service against
the Chinese. The Hebrew. so it was
said, was not Christian. He did not
affiliate or assimilate into the nations
where he dwelt. He was an unclean
thing. dog. to whom the crime Of the
crucifxion of his Savior was never to be
forgiven. The Chinese quarter of
San Francisco had its type in every
city of Europe. If the Jew ventured
from his hiding place he was stoned
His wealth made him the prey Of the
rapacity Of the noble. and his poverty
and weakness the victim. of the rabble.
Yet how has this Oriental conquered
Christendom by the sublimity Of his
patience? The great poet of New
England, who sits by every American
freside beloved and perpetual guest.
in that masterpiece of his art, the
Jewish Cemetery of Newport, has de-
scribed the degradation and the tri-
nmph Of these prosecuted children OF
God.

[ do not controvert the evidence
which is relied upon to show that
there are great abuses, great dangers,
great offenses, which havA grown out
of the coming Of this people. Much
of the. evil l believe might be cured
by State and municipal authority.
Congress may rightfully be called
to go the limit of the just exercise of
the powers Of government in render

We should have capable and vigi-
liant consular officers in the Asiatic
ports from which these immigrants
come, without whose certificate they
should not be received ON board ship.
and who should see to it no person
whose labor is not his own property
be allowed to come over. Especially
should the trade in human labor under
all disguises be suppressed. Filthy
habits of living must surely be within
the control Of municipal regulation.
