TEE reasons which led to the passage of the
Chinese Exclusion bill were sound and reason
able The Southern people who understand
what it IS to have in Auglo-Saxon communi-
ties members OF an alien and inferior race
appreciated most fully the wisdom of the
bin. and it received the unanimous support
of their representatives Nevertheless. is it
at all unnatural that the Chinese people
should look with dislike upon American resi-
dents IN China and think that their presence
Is inconsistent with the spirit exhibited
by the American Government. Many
years ago, when China excluded all
foreigners from its territory, the English
took advantage of some cause OF quarrel TO
send an army and feet against the Chinese
Empire and forced its Government at the
point Of the sword to throw open its gates to
English citizens and to English merchandise
This would be precisely what the American
Government would do if the Chinese authori-
ties took steps TO shut out American citizens
and American goods. And yet no one
could blame the Chinese for retaliating
in tins manner for the passage OF the Chinese
Exclusion bill. So far the Chinese Govern
meut has only been able to craw the line at
Blair but in his exclusion the Chinese people
have probably escaped an evil not quite Of
the proportion Of the inroads of another
Iamerlane, but still al evil Of very serious
character.
