There is considerable opposition to Chinamen in this State. It does not
wholly arise from "sand lot" orators either. These "little brown men"
are industrious, patient, cheerful, obliging. They make the best of
servants. But the average working man of America cannot compete with him
in the labor market, and I would be sorry if he could. I hope the day
will never come when the working man of America will be reduced to such
cramped conditions of home life as "The heathen Chinee" luxuriates in.
Paganism can live where Christianity cannot. A hut will do for a pagan
Zulu. When he becomes a Christian, he wants a shirt and a house.
"Chinatown" in any California city, and especially in San Francisco,
where sixty or seventy thousand are housed and herded in a few blocks,
will open the eyes of Eastern men as to the wisdom of restricting
Chinese immigration. But there is no question as to our duty to those
that are here. We cannot afford to let them live and die in their
heathen vices. The best solution of the Chinese problem is to
Christianize those that are here. The best way to reach China with the
gospel is _via California_. Make Christians of these and they will
become missionaries to their brethren across the Pacific.
