as a result of climate or education OF
habits, and the Malay will have the
projecting upper jaw, and the Cauca-

indicates that they all had one origin,
and that Adam and Eve were their an

l think God built this American con-
tinent and organized this United States
republic to demonstrate the s~tUpendous
idea of the text. A man in Persia will
always remain a Persian, a man in
switzerland will always remain a
Swiss, a man in Austria will al
ways remain an Austrian, but
all foreign nationalities coming to
America were intended to be Ameri-
cans. This land is the chemical labor
atory where foreign bl0ods are to be
inextricably mixed up and race pre-

and that sermon is an x by which l
hope to help kill them. 1t is not hard
for me to preach such a sermon, be-
cause, although my ancestors came to
this country about two hundred and
fifty years ago, some of them came
from Wales, and some from Scotland,
and some from Holland, and some from
other lands, and I am a mixture Of 80
many nationalities that / feel at home
with people from under every sky, and
have II right to call them blood rela-
tions. There are madcaps and patriotic
fanatics in this country who are ever
and anon crying out, s'America for

are in some directions the popular cries,
all of which vociferations l would drown
out by the full organ Of my text, while
/ pull out the stops and put my foot on
the pedal that will open the loudest
pipes, and run my fingers yer all the
four banks of ivory keys, playing the
chant, God hath made vf one blood
all nations.
There are not I've men in this audi
ence, nor five men in any audience to-
day in America, except it be on an In
dian reservation, who were not des-
cended from fore, liners II you go far
enough back. The only native Amerl-
cans are the Modocs. the Shawnees, the
Chippewas, the Cherokees, the Chick
asaws, the Seminoles and such like. If
the principle, America only for Ameri-
cans, be carried out. then you and !
have no right to be here and we had
better charter all the steamers and clip
pers and men-of-war and yachts and
slOops and get out Of this country as
quick as possible. The Pilgrim Fathers

steamers would have tracked the Hud-

of the Mississippi being the main artery
of the continent, it would have been
only a trough for deer and antelope and
wild pigeons to drink out of. What
makes the cry Of America for Amer
icansI" the more absurd, and the more
mhuman is that some in this country,
who themselves arrived here in their
boyhood, or arrived here only one or
two generations back, are joining in
the cry. Escaped from foreign despot-
isms themselves, they say. "Shut the
door of escape for others" Getting

OF curse we do well not to allow
foreign nations to make this country q
convict colony. We would have q wall
built as high as heaven and as deep as
hell against foreign thieves, pick
pockets, and anarchists. We would
not let them wipe their feet on the mat
of the outside DOOR Of Castle Garden.
If England or Russia or Germany or
France send here their desperadoes to
get clear of them, we would have these
DEsPERADoEs SENT BACK
in CHAINS to the places where they came
from. We will not have America be-
come the dumping-place for foreign
yagabondism. But you build up a wall
at the Narrows before New York Har-
Tor. or at the Gold,n Gate before San
Francisco, and forbid the coming Of
the Industrious and hard working and
honest populations Of other lands who
want to breathe the air OF our free in
situations, and get opportunity for bet
ter livelihood, and 1t Is only a question
of time when Goodwill tumble that wall
