Excerpt from A Statement for Non-ExclusionThe chapters that are devoted to the recital of outrages that were perpetrated upon our helpless yellow brethren during the early history of the State of California show a disgraceful condition of civilization, which, we pray, is haply passing away. The reader will find here a sketch of the present Anti Asiatic exclusion crusade from its embryonic state, through its complete growth and development. It will be seen how we, the favored residents of this Pacific Coast, manufacture grievances to order, and how successful we have been hereto fore in making the rest of our countrymen believe that we were suffering from the invasion of an insidious foe, which was constantly forcing his services upon us in spite of our most determined efforts to discourage him. No attempt is made to reply to the various specific charges that have been filed against the Chinese. The time was too short, and the statements made by the present day exclusionists are so un reasonable, so ill-digested and so contradictory, that they usually are answered by each other or are unworthy of serious consideration.The charges of immorality and non-assimilation which are constantly urged against the Asiatic have not been discussed here, for the reason that most of those who are loudest in making such charges are the very people who have no morals to boast of and who are doing all in their power to hinder the assimilation which they allege to be impossible.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
