stery of the back window, namely the Amer
ican sunset Now, want you all to stay out
and keep to your Places I am sure the
Father Of the whole human race would hear
Of it and chastisement would come, and,
whether by earthquake or food or drought,
| or heaven darkening swarms Of locust
and grasshopper, or destroying angel
| Of pestilence, God would rebuke our
selfshness as a nation and say to the
four winds Of Heaven; This world is my
house and the North American is no more my
| child than is the South American and the
| European and the Asiatic and the African.
And built this world for all the children,
and the parlor Is theirs anda is theirs For,
let me say, whether we viii OF not, the popu-
lation Of other lands will come here. There
are harbors all the way from Baflin's bay to
Galveston, and if you shut fifty gates there
viii be other gates unguarded And if you
| forbid foreigners from coming on the
steamers they will take sailing vessels And
! If you forbid them coming on sailing vessels
| they viii come in boats. And if you viii not
| let them come in boats they will come on
RATS. And il you will not allow wharfage
to the raft they will leave it outside Sandy
Hook and swim for free America.
Stop themi You might as well pass law
alighting on the clover tops, or pass law
forbidding the tides Of the Atlantic to rise
when the moon puts under it silver graphing
hooks, or a law that the monday sun should
not irradiate the atmosphere. They have
come. They are coming now. They will
come. And if | had voice loud enough to
be heard across the seas would put it to the
utmost tension and cry, Let them comei You
stingy, selfish, shriveled up, blasted souls
who sit before your silver dinner plate piled
up with breast Of roast turkey incarnadined
with cranberry, your fork full and your
mouth full, and cramming down the super
| abundance till your digestive organs are ter
! rorized, let the millions Of your fellow men
have at least the wishing bone.
AMERICA HAS ENOUGH ROOM FOR ALL
But some of this cry, America for the
Americans, may arise from an honest fear
lest this land be overcrowded Such per-
! sons had better take the Northern Pacific or
Union Pacific or Southern Pacific, or Atlanta
and Charlotte Airline or Texas and Santa
Fe, and go a long journey and find out that
no more than tenth part Of this continent is
fully cultivated If man with a hundred
acres of farm land should put all his cultiva-
tion on one acre, be would be cultivating a
larger ratio of his farm than our nation is
now occupying Of the national farm. Pour tho
whole human race-EurOpe, Asia, Africa, and
all the islands Of the sea-into America, and
there would be room to spare All the Rocky
mountain barrennesses and all the other
American deserts. are to be fertilized and as
Salt Lake City and much Of Utah once

like an Illinois prairie wave with
wheat or like a Wisconsin farm rustic

perhaps a century or two more, when
this continent is quite well occupied, the
tides of immigration viii turn the other way.
Politics and government affairs being cor

THE ADVANTAGES OF THE INFLUX OF NATIONS
It is through mighty addition of foreign
population to our native population that
think God is going to fill this land with rae,
of people 95 per cent. superior to anything
the world has ever seen. Intermairiage O.
families and intermarriage of nations is de
pressing and Gripping. Marriage outside o
ones own nationality and with another styl,
Of nationality is a mighty gain. What make
the Scotch-Irish second to no pedigree fol
brain and stamina of character, so that blool
goes right up to supreme court bench and t
the front rank in jurisprudence and merchan

other Lorraine. And hot blooded Spaniard
will unite with cool blooded Poander, and
romantic Italian with matter of fact
Norwegian, and hundred and fifty years
from now the race occupying this land will
be in stature, in purity Of complexion, in
liquidity of eye, in gracefulness Of poise, in
dome like brow, in taste, in intelligence and
in morals so far ahead Of anything now
known on either side the seas that this last
quarter Of the Nineteenth century will seem
to them like the Dark Ages Oh, then how
they win legislate and bargain and pray and
preach and governl This is the land where
