Mr.. HOAR. I am reading from
the San Francisco Bulletin of the 9th

different labor at that time. It is a

wish to read to the Senate one
most remarkable example from Cal

1882, in regard to the claim that the
Chinese live on rice, cheap and filthy
food, and thereupon reduce the STAN

American labor. 1t seems that Chi

Humanity, capable of infinite
depths of degradation, is capable also
of infinite heights of excellence. The
Chinese, like all other races, has giver
US its examples Of both. To rescue
humanity from this degradation is
we are taught to believe, the great OBJ
ject of Gods moral government or
earth. It is not by injustice, exclu.
sion, caste, but by reverence for the
individual soul that we can aid in this
consummation. It is not by Chinese
policies that China is to be civilized
believe that the immortal truths OF
the Declaration of Independence came
from the same source with the Golden
Rule and Sermon on the Mount. We
can trust Him who promulgated these
laws to keep the country safe that
obeys them. The laws Of the universe
have their own sanction. They will
not fail. The power that causes the
compass to point to the north, that
dismisses the star on its pathway
through the skies promising that in a
thousand years it shall return again
true to its hour and keeps His word
will vindicate His own moral law. As
surely as the path on which our faith
ers entered a hundred years ago led to
safety, to strength, to glory, so surely
will the path on which we now pro.
pose to enter bring us to shame, tc
weakness, and to peril.
