lization. American ships will carry
the American flag and American prod
ucts into every land and returning
pour into the lap of the nation the
golden stream Of universal trade. The
time of the hermit nation is past; the
time for exclusion has gone BY. Here
after We must think and act upon a
world basis in keeping with that new
nternationalism that has been born
through the agonies Of mankind.
Today, all over the world, men are
dying for their ideals, Prussianism and
democracy. Prussianism recognizes
no law but natural law; it believes
might makes right; it worships at the
altar Of force; 1t breaches the gospel
of hate.
Democracy recognizes natural law,
and builds on it i~ntelligently; 1t makes
for true liberty by teaching that no
man has any rights who does not first
recognize the rights of others; 1t
makes for fraternity by preaching love
instead of hate; it governs by human
law, but Is governed by moral law. De-
mocraey is a religion, a religion of
brotherhood among men, a religion
that says, Thou shalt not lie; thou
shalt not s%teal;" a religion that de-
mands more of the Golden Rule and
less of the rule of gold in government
and in our daily lives; that does not
array class against class, but pre-
serves the rights of all by causing each
to respect the rights Of the other; that
equalizes conditions, not by dragging
down those who are up, but by lifting
up those who are down; that does not
attack wealth honestly acquired, but
wages unending war against the privi-
leges that produce u~nearned wealth on
n hand and undeseryed poverty on
the other; that protects property
rights but recognizes the fact that
property rights should never be incon-
sistent with human rights; that ac-
cords to each individual the right to
worship God according to the dictates
Of his own conscience, whether he be
Jew or Gentle, Catholic or Protestant;
that gives to each man an equal oppor-
tunity to participate in government
and to live and labor upon the earth
that God has given to all and to enjoy
untrammeled and unrestricted the
gains of honest toll; that seeks as q
remedy for existing wrongs not less
government by the people, but mora
government by the people; that holds
laws are made to be enforced, not to
be ignored; that seeks more Of service
and less Of selfishness. The capacity
of a people for self-government is to
be determined not by the extent Of a
nations dominion, but by the happi-
ness and welfare Of the average nan
1t is the average mar for whom democ-
racy stands, and it is for him this re-
public has become the t~orch-bearer of
liberty for all mankind.
This is the democracy for which we
are fighting; this is the democracy for
which Woodrow Wilson stands; and
this is the democracy 1 shalkcontlnue
