AMERICAN LANGUAGE.

We Will Have 1t as Soon as We Have q Pure
American Race.
It is heretofore been the belief held
by the philosophers and thinkers from
the earliest times that language is an
evolution growing in development as
human thought needed vocal vehicle
for expression, Savage tribes with an
extremely limited range of ideas, and
whose actual transactions of daily life
embraced only the simplest facts,
wonld necessarily have need for an
extremely simple and scant language.
AS they might advance in civilization
and culture, they would improve their
language to meet the necessities of ex-
preston. The invention of alleged
universal languages by the act of a sim
gle individual sets all the laws of lin
guistic evolution at naught, and can
therefore accomplish nothing useful in
any large sense. The history of the
English language presents great
number of facts which illustrate this
evolution. Since no race SO far as
known possesses an indigenous or
original civilization, but has ALWAYS
learned from some external and superior
source, SO there is no language which
is complete in itself, developed from
indigenous roots without admixture
from the exterior. The English tongue,
composed as it is of many diverse ele-
ments, has. long been undergoing the
processes of evolution which must con-
tinue to operate for a great period in the
future. so that the day will come when
the language will be as different from
the English of to-day as is our language
from that of Chaucer. In America the
development must take to itself forces
and forms which will never come into
operation in the mother country, and
finally through their Intervention we
will have distinctively American Ian
guage. 1t is impossible to formulate
an American language until we cease
to have constant and extensive acces,
sions Of foreign immigration; until,
indeed, we can assimilate and absorb
all tho admixture Of foreign blood.
Then we will have an American race,
then we viii have an American Ian.

you come to harvesting, go around the same
