Unlike European immigrants, the Chinese are not free and independent men. They do not come here to become citizens. Until it can be shown that they are fit to take part in free government, they should not be allowed to supersede the Caucasian race. "Cheap labor," said Miller, "is not the cause of national wealth, but of national poverty. Temporarily, and under peculiar conditions, cheap labor might be an advantage; but where we are confronted by the fact that the introduction into our country of an alien race of men, who perform the cheap labor, operates as a displacement of the natives of the soil, man for man, and substitutes a non-assimilative, heterogeneous people, utterly unfit for and incapable of self-government, the question assumes proportions which are not to be measured by the application of mere economic theories."
