The Newtown bee., 1896-10-30

When Louise Michel, John Most and Emma Goldman are applauded for their doctrines and are followed by crowds of sympathizers,
 WHAT ARE WE TO EXPECT?
 I'll tell you what we ought to do: we ought to keep such pests from landing on our shores. Our immigration laws are fearful. It was said by an English states man, many years ago, that we were sow ing in this country the seeds of a social and political unrest that would over throw our government as surely as the Huns and GoGhs overthrow the power of Rome. We believe in quarantine against infectious diseases. We establish our quarantine stations, inspect incoming vessels; and if infectious diseases are found on board, detain these vessels or send them back to the port whence they came. We will not let the cholera or the smallpox get into our cities to spread it's dark mantle of de8th over our homes.
 We will not do that, but we let into our land what is far worse than all the infec- tiOus diseases combined, and what means more fearful consequences to us all. We let the anarchists in here; we let in those who know nothing about submis- sion to government, who do not want government, who are demagogues at heart, who are hostile to our institu- tiOns, who would make it their proudest boast to bury aud blast all these things which, as American citizens, we hold dear.
 Do you know the facts? Without re- gard to the proportion between foreign born and native, the fOreign-born stand responsible for 72 per cent of the crimes committed; but when you take into ac- count the proportion between the for eign-bOrn and native, the foreign born are responsible for nearly 93 per cent of the crimes committed. This is 8 fright full showing. What fearful accusation to write against those of foreign birth whom we receive upon our shores, that they are responsible for all but 7 per cenG of the crimes what a land this would be, could the stream that has been flowing to us from the Old World in the past 50 years have been pure stream, could we have had only those come to us who came to throw their fortunes in with us. to develop our industries, and to make under this free sky and upon this free soil true American homes All honor to the industrious i'm migrant, with arm of might and heart of oak, who comes here with his wife and little brood, that he may flee the opDres. sion of Europe and breathe rhis freer air; all honor to him, say. We will open our arms to receive him, we will make him our neighbor and friend. But against those who come here to plot aQd plunder and ruin let us surround our selves with a wall as firm and strong and high as the wall of China. elfdefense is the first law of nations as we'll as of men. AgitatOrs, lawIess men, are the worst foe we know. Those who do not create 8 dollars worth of wealth them CpiUnC hUt CFaiF1 fhair Iiy1S0 hx- Izso dupes of the labOring man, are enemies of this country's life. l tell you, my friends, he who stirs the classes of this country to riot and strife aims a blow at the COuntry's heart. The patriot is man who respects the law.
 The patriot is g man who fears God, Believe it, you cannot have good na- ti0n unless you have good Christian citi- Zens. ''ln Goa we trust"; we write that legend or our coins, let us write it upon our hearte. The better the Christian. the better the patriot. It does make a d ference whether man loves God and houOrs the Sabbath day and takes the Bible for his guide. It does make a ference to that man; it does make a difference to his country. You cannot expect man who has no reverence for the "higher law to have much respect for the lower law. The true Christian is the enemy of all vice and crime. He is the bitter enemy of anarchism and all forms of disorder. He is the abiding friend of peace. I speak to Christians | to day. 1 congratulate you upon your trust in God. l congratulate you that | He holds this nation in the hollow of l His hand. Underneath the strife of | parties, underneath the hustle and clamor | ana trample, I hear the still, small voice l say: l"This is the land which I have chosen; here is the habtation where I | love to dwell" Rise thou into sweet | ecstasy, o my soul, for ''the Lord God 1 reigneth".
