A man in Persia will always remain a Persian, a man in Switzerland will always remain a Swiss, a man in Austria will always remain an Austrian, but all foreign nationalties coming to Amer. fca were intended to be Americans: This land tis the chemical laboratory where foreign bloods are to be inextricably mixed up and race prejudices and race antipathies are to perish, and this sermon is an ax by which I hope to kill them, It is not hard for me to preach such a sermon, because, al though my ancestors came to this country about two hundred and fifty years ago, some of them came from Wales and some from Scotland and some from Holland and some from other lands, and | am a mixture of so many nationalities that I feel at home with people from under every sky and bave a right to call them blood relations. There are mad caps and patriotic lunatics in this country who are ever and anon crying out: “ Amer- ica for Americans” Down with the Ger mans' Down with the [rish! Down with the Jews! Down with the Chinese! are in some directions the popular cries, all of which vociferations | would drown out by the full organ of my text, while I pull out $he stops and put my foot on the pedal that will open the loudest pipes, and run my fingers over all the four banks of ivory keys, laying the chant: “God hath mads of one blood all nations,” Lhere are not five men in this aulieace, por five men in any audience today in America except it be on an [ondian reserva. tion, who were not descended from foreigners if you go farenough back. The only native Americans are the Modocs, the Shawnees the Chippewas, the Cherokees, the Chicka. saws, the Seminoles and such like. If the principle America only for Americans be carried out, then you and I have no right to be here and we had better charter all the rteamers and clippers and men-of-war and yachts and sloops and get out of this country as quick as possible. The Pilgrim Fathers were all immigrants, ths Huguenots all im migrants. The cradie of most every ons of our families was rocked on the bank of the Clyde or the Rhine or the Shannon or the Seine or the Tiber, Had the watchword “America for Americans” an early and successful ery, where now stand our cities would have stood Indian wigwams, and canoss instead of steamers would have tracked the Hudson and the Connecticut; and instead of the Misussippi boing the main artery of the continent, it would have been only a trough for deer and antelope and wild pigecas to drink out of. What makes the cry of “America for Americans” the more absurd and the more inhuman is that some in this country who themsalves arrived here in their boyhood or arrived here only one or two tions back are joining in the cry scnped from foreign despotisms they MY “ Shut the door of escape for others” Getting thém selves on our shores ina life boat from the shipwreck saying: Haul the boat oa the beach and let the rest of the passengers go to the bottom' Men who have yet on them a Beoteh or German or English or Irish b crying out, America. for Americans: What if the native inhabitants of Heaven, I mean the angels, the cherubim, the seraphim bora there, should stand in the gate and when they see us conung up at the last should say: “Go back!
