brain and vigor and we came out of
the melting-pot as Americans.
Lincoln saw the light when he said,
1--WE are made up of men who have
come from Europe-from Germany,
Ireland, France, Scandinavia. They
find themselves our equals in all
things. When they look through that
old Declaration Of independence they
find that we hold those truths to be
self-evident, that all men are created
equal, and they feel that they have q
blood of the blood and flesh of the
flesh of the men who wrote that Dec
laration; and they. are. That is the
electric cord in that Declaration that
links the hearts of the patriotic and
liberty-loving men together, that will
bind these patriotic hearts as long as
the love of freedom exists in the minds
of men throughout the world"
The Anglo-Saxon movement in this
country, urged by Andrew Carnegie,
by the will and bequest of Cecil
Rhodes, by the New York Tory press,
and by such British paid attorneys as
Elihu Root, is an insult to Lincoln
and all Americans who follow the lofty
aims of both Patrick Henry and
Abraham Lincoln. Washington was
an Anglo-Saxon but he established the
American conception of liberty and
dwells with us in memory as the
Father of the American people. His
farewell address is the broad and solid
foundation of our government. Crom-
well was an Anglo-Saxon but his idea
of liberty was to ruin Ireland and
drive the Irish into Hell or Con-
naught' The Irish do not hate
Englishmen individually but they fear
the nefarious financial institution call
&c the British Empire-a machine that
grinds out it's product by the sweat
and blood of millions of human beings
scattered over the earth. And the
Irish are right. They are justified.
England Denounced.
The patron saint of President Will
sons party, Thomas jefferson, was,
in the domain of the intellect, the most
fearless thinker and writer ever born
on earth. In painful contrast to Will
sons spineless administration, Jeffer-
son said, 1--WE concur in considering
the government of England as totally
without morality, insolent beyond
bearing, inflated with vanity and am
bition, aiming at the exclusive domi-
nation of the seas, lost in corruption
and deep-rooted hatred toward us,
hostile to liberty wherever it shows its
head, and the eternal disturber of the
peace of the world" And Washington
added that we should avoid alliances,
resist the intrigues of that favored
nation. who will attempt in the future
IN ic1o in NrHar -
influence and awe our republic coun-
sells. 1.-The great rule of conduct for
use in regard to foreign nations, in
extending our commercial relations, is
to have with them as little political
connection as possible"
But Andrew Carnegie, in an article
in the North American Review, insults
Patrick Henry, Jefferson, Washington
and Lincoln and all Americans by say
ing, Let men say what they will, l
say that as surely as the sun in the
heavens once shone on Britain and
America united so surely is It one
morning to rise and shine up and greet
again the reunited state-The British
American Union" And eve are de-
termined that our race shall be the
arbiters of the world" and that
national pride or patriotism must not
be a serious obstacle to this reunion.
All party divisions in American sink
into nothingness compared with the
| reunion of England and America.
This new nation, this British-Ameri-
can empire. must dominate the world. "
In other words, sounding like
Genghis Khan, There is one God in
heaven, there shall be on ruler on
earth, and that ruler shall be Eng
land
Provide for Conquest.
Cecil Rhodes, without hypocrisy or
equivocation, said in his will that the
object of his requests was 1.-The recon
quest of the United States of America
as an integral part of the British en-
pire."
II Woodrow Wilson, who assumes an
attitude Of supine graciousness toward
England and always a strict school
| marin tone toward Germany, would
| study the fearless patron saint Of his
party, Thomas Jefferson, he would
find this bold statement which he
could well apply now to our inter
national condition. jefferson said
England may feel the desire to
starve an enemy nation but she can
never have the rioht Of doing il at our
