and commenting on this fact, said:
"There Is something about these race
antagonisms that perhaps we do not
understand-—perhaps it is necessary
that we should not understand. The
fact that they exist an$ have never
been overcome is sufficient. And I say
this without the slightest Intention of
reflecting upon the Japanese people. 1
don't say that they are inferior to us—
they are different, that is all and the
difference is so striking, such a radical
difference, that the two peoples can
never become one people or become
amalgamated at all.
"The Asiatic and the American do
not inter-marry—will never inter
marry except in rare isntances. We can
never absorb them or take them into
our social life."
What Races Will Never Mix.
Citing the negro question to show
that the white race never will mix
with one of the colored races, Mr
Gearin said: "It was folly—the insane
criminal folly of those who thought
cheap labor, however obtained, a bless
ing—that brought these colored people
here as slaves, and« where is the man
now bold enough to say that it has
been a blesslngZ"
Speaking of the "crisis" in the south
over tho negro question, he appealed to
the representatives of the southern
states to deal with the situation there
as best they can in the interests of hu
manity, good government and right
eousness. He promised "hands off,"
leaving the. question to southern honor
loyalty and patriotism, and concluded
his appeal by saying
"But we say to you at the same time
in God's name, do not aid by your ad
vice nor assist by your endeavors the
plans of these "whose efforts if success
fully carried out will bring down upon
us a condition which will be worse—

far worse in the end than the troubles
which now beset you."
Declaring that the only principle
which should govern this country in
the protection of the laboring man is
to pay him as much as we can and
make him happy and at the same time
insure to his employer a reasonable
profit and no more, upon the capital in
vested, Mr. Gearin declared that if cap
ital refuses to hear this "from the lips
of its friends it will hear it- later from
the lips of those who are not its
friends."
Mr. Gearin declared that China
would be in a position to demand ad
mission for its cheap labor if the priv
ilege continues to be accorded Japan.
Concerning the President's message
on that subject. Mr. Gearin said: "And
in this connection I would commend the
essay on industrial morality, found on
the S4th page of the message, to its
distinguished author for perusal and
careful examination.
"There is not a single objection that
was urged against the Chinese laborer
that does not aupply with equal force
against the Japanese laborer. Why
then the discrimination?"
As a conclusion of a beautiful per
oration. Mr. Gearin siad:
"We are a homeogenous people, con
nected by blood and the ties of kinship.
And although we of the west are far
away from the nation's capital as the
longitude marks, yet we are a part of
the nation's family and sheltered by
the nation's protection.
"There are voices calling to us out
there—voices of cheer and good will.
And we stop at times and listen and
they speak to us of a brotherhood of
American labor and capital—a brother
hood of American genius and American
enterprise—a brotherhood of American
loyalty and American patriotism—and
it strengthens out hearts and cheers us
on because we feel that we are brothers
all and that you will listen to us and
sympathize with us and aid Ut—be
cause of our brotherhood."
