the cause that brought on all this national ruiz
and destruction for, behold! it ID written in tw'
wOrds-Cass Legislation.
AS regards the various natiOnalities pouring II
on our shores and the general makeup Of thei
moral sense, We would repeat, they take on th'
character Of their early environments but mono or,
so ignorant not to know when wronged.
There was time when some people we're greatly
exercised to know whether the foreigner woult
fOreignize America or America Americanize thG
foreigner, but think that scare is past, and ths
question has shaped itself after this manner: Viii
America demoralize, debanch and rob the foreigner
indiscriminately and indefinitely America IL the
greatest country in the world to go to ksaven OF
hell from, and especially the latter.
Illinois has enough saloons in it to supply ths
drink trade, if properly distributed, for tht
Union, and Illinois is Republican State, and here
the foreigners vote 10 bought before the limbugel
has died out from between his toes, and that too
by American politician, and then imagine these
politicians talking about the ignorant foreigner
After taking out his naturalization papers this very
foreigner takes ont license, starts saloon and
says to the American politician: 'ECome and see
me, and he comes. After one campaign this 60
loon keeper rams for alderman and is elected.
Who is to blame for all thisi 1t looks to me al
il it was now about time to stop prating abonI
foreigners when the preacher and church going
people vote to give the foreigner a license TO de-
bauch, ruin and destroy the character and
lives Of our young men. What is license in lawI
A license is a permit granted by body Of com
petent jurisdiction Getty couDcir authorizing the
performance of an act without which (icense) it ie
illegal. The reader can see it is illegal to sell OF
give away intoxicating drinks without license,
therefore a crime, but by getting license the
crime is made legal The other day German
was arrested for selling drinks without license,
when the following dialogue took place: German
-'What for you arrest metz Oficer-''You
have no license" German ssWhat is dotf"
Officer - "Wel you must pay before you
can sell, for it is crime to sell beer without a
license" German - "a crime to sell midont a
license and no crime to sell init license. How is
dot" Oficer-"Oh, you must pay license fee Of
$500 in Illinois to run a saloon" German s'Oh,
oh. MY Got see how it was. / do the same
thing all the time, and if give you money it was
a crime, but if l gives you the money it was no
crime. My Got money makes crime virtue, and
virtue crime in America
When you come to understand some nationalities
you will find the principle of liberty deep seated.
trustI may not be charged with either sectional
or party bigotry when say that Of races tribes
that reach our Shore none seem SO dead es
whole to the principles of true liberty the negro
race After lifetime in this country and forty
years Of freedom in which and during this time hs
children and his children's children have gone to
the free schools and sit beside the white child;
still after all this the negro drops behind in the
race of life all foreigners that comes to our shore.
The negro seems to be made on the principle of a
threshing machine not intended to hold any
thing. The neglo problem is the negroes prob
lem. The destiny Of natiOns is in the white man to
stay.
This republic can not long endure running on
the present regime. There must be vigorous en-
iOrcement OF the law without any discrimination
between the rich and the poor. We arc new ap
preaching crisis. People have become educated
sufficient to know the law has been made in the in.
terest Of the rich. They see the line Of demarka.
tion clearly and are determined that monopoly must
obey justice, and the bsndEriting is on the wall.
Distrust marks the action Of men Of all schools Of
political Thought Our United States Senate has
lost the confidence Of the masses. Our courts have
lost the respect Of the people. Criminals in high
places defy the laws capital and labor are in hostile
camps mutteriDe Of discOntent permeates our no.
