Theodore Roosevelt in Ameriecay There have recently been many signs of a popular awakening to the fact, that much of the foreign immigration to our shores is of a highly undesirable kindj and, together with this, there have also appeared, here and there, symptoms of the revival of the old feeling of dislike and distrust of all immigrants, good or bad—a feeling whose fitful slumbers, ng the pastsixty years, has been varied once and again by spasms of erratic activity, whose outcome has often been ludicrous, sometimes harm- ful and occasionally both. Although these two phases of senti- ment 8o often appear side by there is properly nothing wh common between them. It goes without saving, that it is vi- tally important for all decent American citizens, no matter where thoy were born or what creed they profess, to_join hands in keeping out men whose admis- sion into our commonwealth can result only in harm to the body politic.. Bi5 e SRS o side, yet atever in But all this has nothing whatever to do with a feeling of hostility for foreign- ers simply as such—a feeling com- pounded of fear, contempt and jealousy —which even when it does not manif itself openly in political agitation, is always latent in the breast: siderable portion of our citizens, discreditable })rujudinu, s an satisfy himself by a brief examination of the facts. Of course, it must be ad- mitted that the behavior of some of the present immigrants—indeed of some whole classes of immigrants—affords a partial justification for this prejudice; yet even a slight study of our past his- tory is enough to show us that both the fear of, and hostility toward, our fellow citizens of foreign birth or ||'nentuge, are, if not wholly baseless, yet based on very insufficient’ grounds. l'l he people who feel this fear and hos- tili of no incon- Itisa man can y seem to forget that our whole his- tory ismade up of wavesof immigration; and that this immigration former 1y, as now, drawn from the ranks of many widely-different nations. A common mistake is to talk of our ~cmlutlunmy ancestors as forming a ‘*horhogeneo body, one in speech and blood, whereas, in reality, the Americans of Sthat day were of quite as hetorogeneous com posi- tion as are we ourselves at present. Americans of 1776 were so far from being one in race that it may even be doubted whether half of them were of ure, or nearly pure, English blood. In ew hng]nnciv the English blood was purest; but even in New England there was an Irish admixture—much larger than some New England historians are willing to admit—dating from as far back as the time of Cromwell, by whom the Irish were fivst shipped over. There were also many French Huguenot: One of the great New ingland revolu tionary families was that of the Sull vans; one of the very few revolution, battles fought on New England soil we won by the Irishman Starks;and the most formidable rebellion that ever took pluce in o Now ngland state was chris by the name of its leader, Shes 0 Shdv in its Anglicised form). This same rebellion was put down by a gov- ernor with the Ir doin; and the simi not numes of Revere and Fanueil among the best remembered of rginia, then the n ~0n\\ one outside (\( New ud where the people of English ck were largely predominant, con- Hugue- are tained also many Hugue mans, besides the Scotch-Irish along 1t-z western borde In middle state llmL is, in New Yor! Penunsylvar v, and Delaware, the people h' blood were certainly in the md those of French, Dutch, 1, Swiss and Swedish descent were, taken together, more numerous, in proportion to the whole population, than is now the caseinany group of American states,even inciuding Minne- sota and Wisconsin. Similarly, the Carolinas and Georgia contained 'com- munitics speaking French, Dutch, German and Gaelic, while the mountaineers, and Virgin Ivish, so tha as in Pennsylvania were mainly Scotoh- t in the southern colonie: also, the !)-)uln- of puro English sto were greatly in the minority. Certainly such a showing as this ought to remove from the mind of the most apprehensive all fear avising merely from the var and extent, of the present immigr The “Ger- man beors and ,” who haye come over this century, form a relatively smaller part of our population than did the Dutch and German boors and Scoteh and Irish cotters a contury back. In no one of our states at the present day are the foreign and non- }']ngllsll clements 8o plentiful as they were in New York and Pennsylvania at the time when the first continental con- gress was asserabled. The noxt assertion to be considered, is the one to the effect that the people who come over here to-day compare unfavorably with the people who came over here prior to 1776; or,in other other words, that the llumlgl'llllh of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries were of a better class thun those of the nineteenth, Beyond question, one of the most seri- ous evils from which, as a nation, we now suffer, is to be found in the char- acter of part of the immigration to our shores. The question as to how this immigration can be best checized, is of the greatest importance to the future well being of our people; to solve it would be a feat of practical statesman- ship, beside which the solution of tho E + difficulty,‘or of the reform of the if, or of the question of the reduc- tion of the surplus itsell, would sink into absolute insignificance. We are made the harborng-place for shouls of %, and be it remembered t the nnnumhn of many so-called “political” offenders of the present day is quite as murkedly noxious as that of any other class. Moreover, much of the “‘clieap labor” that comes here from' cortain Furopean states is of a kind not caleulatod to produce good eitizenship, Yet, granting all this, there still seems good ground for the question that now, as formerly—in spite of a multi- tude of indivi and, possibly, one or two race excepti ns—the immigration hither is made up of, on the whole, the best, hardiest and most adventurous in- habitants of the European countries. From Germany, ficandinavia and the British islands we get far more men of the stamp of Andrew Carnegie, Judge Burvett, Carl Schurz, John Royle 0 l{ull) and Hjalmar Hjorth Boyesen, than we do of additions fo the eriminal class, such men as Most and O’Donovan Rossa. There ar¢, probably few Amer- can students of contemporary history, oapable of forming 8n Intelligent judg- ment, who do not honestly believe that Amerioans are, taking them altogether, and, notwithstanding some very mnrked and disagreeable faults and failings, superior to any other people, in Europe or elsewhere, in the traits and capaci- ties that fit them for self-government and for performing the @uties incident to citizenship; but far-seeing students must also admit that most of the foreigners who come here will very soon-—at the slowest, in the course of a couple of generations—make Ameri- cans, notonly as good as, but,moreover, absolutely m\lnhngun)mhlu from, the rest ot us Besides, it is well to remember that, from the outset, from the days of the first white settlors on this continent, we have had to contend with the dangers al ng from certain kinds of unwhole- yme immigration. Before the New Englanders had been domiciled in the home of their choice for two genera- tions, the more serious of them became greatly alarmed on account of the rapid deterioration in morals consequent, among other things, upon the importa- tion of “‘redemptioners” and the like. Condemned English criminals, captured Irish rebels, and sodden, starving Ger- man labormen were imported wholesale to New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia and the Carolinas, as apprentices and bond-servants, to give rise to a pecu- liarly us and shiftless race of social outlaws. It is very, doubtful if we now receive, rélative to our popula- tion, a8 great a number of immigrants of bad character as were sent to the colonies prior to the revolution. But, of course, the founders of our peovle, the exiles for the sake of political or religious freedom, were superior to any of their successors of to-day. The enormous bulk of the immigrants of the present time come from the Brit- ish Isles, from the Germanic lands, and from Scxmdinugin, the exact countries that, though in varying proportions, furnished ~the great bulk of the firs settlers of the various colonies. There y few German, Gaelic or French s, and, probably, not very many Scandinavians, borne by immigrants of the present day, which® were not also to be found here in the last century. With greater or less rapidity, all th peoples have been fused together in the past, and the fuging will go on just as steadily in the future. At the time of our birth as a nation, we already differed in blood, as well as in manners from vhe British; the word American already had more than amere geographical significance, and the streams of humanity that have since flowed to our shores have, after all, but slightly altered the proportionsin which our elemental race-strains were alveady combined. The Americans who first gave us a name and & nation—the descendants of the early English, Dutch and Swedi. adventurers, and of the Puritdn, Hugue- not and Scotch-Irish exiles for con- science sake—also made the mold into which the nation was to bhe cast. All subsequent immigration to our shores, of whatever race, have perforce been run through it. Formerly, as well as now, there were some base alloys in the metal filling this mold; but then, as now, the good outweighed the bad; and good and bad alike came out indelibly stamped as American, The influence of foreigners within our borders upon us is sometimes serious, but it is nothing compared to our influence upon them. The change in our national character during the past century has been due to our own growth, and but little to the character of the accession to our population from the outside. The grandson of the immigrant who came here at the beginning of the present century has become exac| like the great-grandson of the Americs fought in the )Mulutmn, id differs from the man of does the latter's own descendant. As regards the mere question of race, our whole past history shows thatnearly allthe people represented among the present immigrants were also repre- sented among our forefathers who fought for independence, in much the " roportion resent; and as , Dutchr Swede, Frenchman lways been turned bsolutely 1776 no more than into Amerlean citize tinguishable from their fellow oxC lent reason be the case In glancing at the r have in the {umm rative of the last part; t carn on in colonial New York in 1 it seems amusingly modern times to read of the fears felt about the ‘solid” German vote and of the hostility with which the con- 50 ive or Episcopa rty regarded the “Irish be: bly a good half of the de: lants of these [rish and German voters of 1768 were ardent knownothings in tho middle of the pres- ent century. Nor does our past history show any 1 for fearing lest the increase in certnin sects will work an change 1n our body politic. Since the revolution the Methodist and Baptist churches—the former espceially-—have grown enormously and - have become the most important in the land, but as far as this has had any effect, it has been for good. The Reformed church, to which most of the F'rench and Dutch and many of the Gormans belonged has become com- pletely Americanized, the Lutheran, of which more hereafter, is rapidly be- coming s0. The Catholics, who were s0 numerous and influential in M land in 1776, divided on the question of independence, precisely as did the yavi- ous Protestant sects and---except on one point to be discussed lnwrm&m same olds true now, for there is not a e in the union where the members of evory religious body are not to be found on_ each side of ev: u\; question of public policy from the tariff to probibition. It 18, of course, true that the rate of speed at which Americanization pro- coods differs widely among different groups of foreigners, and even among different groups of the same race. By the beginning of the present century the Dutch were almost completely amal- gamated with their B n;,hulx neighbors in New York; yot it is a curious fact that there are still to be found families --and ove or two instances could be pointed out not a score of miles from New York y Hall—where the house still that of Ho scendants of our pr man population have blended indissolu- bly with our other race elements; but in parts of Penneylvania the Germans, or, as Lhn{y ara called, ‘‘Pennsylvania Dueth, ’ still form & partiaily undigested lump in the state’s stomach. In the country districts the Irish are rapidly absorbed; but in portions of the great citios llu congregate by themscly forming separate eddies in the gum. current of American national life, Yet in no ease can any group of immi- rants avoid its fate. ‘T'he most it can 0is to retard it. The movement is slow at one point and fast at another; but it goes steadily on the whole time, and usually at a constantly accelerating rate of speed. The one overshadowing fact in this process of con.‘»lulo Americanization, the one side of the question that should be always borne in mind, is the enor- mous benefit it confers upon the person who i8 Americanized. The gain tothe country is real, but the gain to the indi- ua)” himsell is everythiong. Immi old speech is l:m of the de- frlnbs who remain aliens, whether in rungq or in political thought, are of litsl benefit to the country; but they themselves are the individuals most damaged. The man who es completely American- ized—who brates our constitutional centennial ead of the queen’s jubi- lee, or the rth of July, rather than int Patrick’s day, and who ‘‘talks United States” instead of the dialect of the country which he has of his own freo will abandoned—is not only doing his plain duty by his adopted land, but is also rendering to himself a service of immeasureablé value. This last point is one that can not be too often insisted on. The chief inter- ost sor vy Americanization is thatof the individual himself. A man who speaks only German or Swedish may novertheless be a most useful American citizen; but it is impossible for him to derive the full benefit he should from American citizenship. And, on the other hand, impossible for him, under any circumstances, to retain the benefits incident to being a member of the nation of which he has left. It would be hard to imagine another alter- native where the advantage was so wholly on one side. The case stands By hecoming completely Ameri- d’ the immigrant gains every conferred upon citizen- ship in the country to which he has come; but, if he fails to becoma Americanizod, he nevertheless loses all share and part in the nation which he has left, and gains nothing in return. He cannot possibly remain an English4 man, a German, or & Scandinavian; all hecando is to refuse to become an American, and thereby make himself a kind of mongral waif, of no importance anywhere. Under no circumstances can he longer have a part in the history of his former country; indeed, it curious fact that his former countrymen will probably feel a certain dislike or contempt for him until he ranks as wholly an American—and then he ocou- { aposition such as we rightly be- ieve is held by the citizen of no other land. The nation from which he sprang can have no part or parcel in his career. Gallatin became one of the foremost statesmen of America; but had he re- fusod to assimilate himself to his fellow Pennsylvanians, and thus never have appeared in American history, he would nevertheless have lost all hold on Switz- erland, quite as much as was actually the case,and would mercly have do- barred himself from making an honor- able mark anywhere. If the immigrant heartily adapts him- self to his new surmuudmga, he may reach the highest position in the land, save the presidency. He may serve in the cabinet or sens like the Scotch- man, Beck, the Irishman, Shields, or the German, Schurz. To his son the presidency itself is open—as it was to the descendant of the Dutchman, Van Buren. If, on the other hand, he re- tains the speech and feelings of his for- mer country he can play n nent part here, whetheras lawy soldier or anthor, and he self-evidently fails to retain.the power to play any such part abroad. & any event he wholly losed hig former citizenship; the atttempt toJeep it merely results I’n the additional Joss of some of his chief privileges as an American. Our annals are filled with illustrious munes, names dear to every American t,which would never have bee hmud of had their fathers not been wise enough and patriotic enough to cast in their lots in. every way with that of their adoptqd country. Had the Spanish- ‘)L(lk\ng Fargagut, who came here in tury, ecducated his son among his fellow Minorcan immigrants, and taught him Spanish as his mother tongue, the United States would huve been deprived of their greatest admiral, history would have been by so much the poorer, and the loyal cause in the great il war by so much the weaker, but who can measure the immeasur: loss to Farragut himself? Had Custer’s people remained as un- affected by their surroundings, as has been the case with some Pennsylvania mmunities, then he would been zh life merely an insignificant idual in an unimportant body of men, who spoke a bastard Gorman dia- lect, and were looked upon by Ameri- ns with a tolerant good humor closely akin to contempt, and by such Germans as knew of their exi 1ce with even more pronounced distaste; whereas he has now won deathless fame, as the American arch-type of a skillful, dash- ing and absolutely fearless cavalry com- mander. If the French Louisianian, Beaure- gard, hod been sent to Paris to be edu- d, if his tongue and interests had remained French, then he might possi- bly have risen to the command of some Creole contingent in a Louisiana bri- gade, but he would never have taken his place in history as one of the most prominent confederate chiefs. Sheridan’s name is a talisman where- with to open every American heart, and it will shine; undimmed by time, as long as lasts the memory of the civil war itself. There is no school boy but knows him; no historian who does nov pay him reverence. There is no other iving American, save grand Tecumsch Sherman, who has such a hold on the passionate loyalty of our people, He alrondy has the highest military pos tion in our gift, there are many among his fellow citizens who are only with held by his own wish from endeuv to put Thm dnthe highest civil po as well. We claim him with jealous pride as being utterly and exclusively our own., Whether his parents were born in Ireland, or came over in the Mayflower, is a pniul of interest only to the genealogists; it is quite enough for us to know that he himself is an Ameri- can. Is not his a position that any man on earth might feel the keenest pride in filling? Awnd does any believe that he would now fill it if people had persisted in "identifying themselves with some body of Irishmen who | mained forgigners, and not Am and who busied themselves exc lun\\u-ly with the politics of a foreign power? So it was in the time of the revolution. Among ourifodemost generals at that time were Sullivan, Schuyler and Muhlenberg, The first was o Massa- chusetts man, tho seconda New Yorker, the third a Fennsylvanian. Nobody thought of calling them, respectiv on Irishman, & Dutchman, and a Ge man, any more than of calling Wash- wble 5 ington an ‘Englishman, They were Americans, ong and all, whether their blood was Eifglish, Irish, ‘Dutch or 'man. Had they not been genuinely A\ merican—had they still felt a longing to be something else in addition—they could never have lukun among us the commanding rank they d 1t was for this reason that, relatively, 80 many of our leading men have been of French Huguenot blood; as witness Mavrion, Sevier, Jay, Luurulm Revere, Bowdoin, and a host of others. The Huguenots assimilated themselves to their surroundings, and became Ameri- canized more quickly than did any other people; in consequence, they re- oeived even more than their share “of the henefits of American citizenship. Moreover, the harm organizations do thomselves by refusing to become Amer- is quite as_pronounced as with individuals., This has been strikingly shown by the history of the Dutch Re- formed Church. Diring the last cen- tury, the Dutch church in New York | dwindled steadily, because it refused to abandon the Dutch language, and. as a consequence, all the young men of abil- ity and enterprise, who wished to make their mark in the world, were forced to leave it. Finally, atthe close of the (‘enmn.!‘nglnhw s definitely installed in the services, and the process of decay was stopped; but it had been permitted to go on 8o long as to prevent the church ever taking a leading position in the land. The Frenéh {;ugummt churches were abandoned by their supporters eyen more quickly, the Huguenots, as already said, throwing themselves from the outset he: life. The Swedish Luthern churches on the De re suffered almost total oxtinction in consequence of the folly of the ministers in standing by the old language; the congregations finally abandoned them entirely and soon after the revolution the minister sent out here by the king of Sweden returned because there was no one who could un- derstand his preaching. Before closing, one word to those who either foar, or profess to fear, the effect of the Roman Catholie church upon our institutions. To quict such foars, it would certainly seem only necess: for those people to call to mind Ca who signed the Declaration of Indepen- dence, and the part played by his fellow Catholics of Maryland in the revolution; or let them analyze out the legislative bodies of to-day—not confining thom- selves to the representatives of the lower wards of the great cities. T can k feclingly on this point, for among the score or two of men of really exceptionally honor and integrity whom I met during & three years’ legislative oxporience, a full proportion bore such distinetively Irish-Catholic names as O'Neil, Kelly, Costello, Welsh and Hhvh_\n It is perfectly true that now and then priests say foolish things— like the silly remark recently made by one in New ' York, to the effect that good Catholics must takoe their politics from Peter; to which the answer is that Americans would no more tolerate a theoeracy than an oligarchy or a monarch but do not some protestant preachers at times show quite as little wisdom? The sim- le truth is that in our systems of re- igion all have to become more or less republican and American, and there- fore all have to change somewhat from Lhe old-world form; the Presbyterian- f to-day differs widely from the nof the seventeenth century in Scotland and Geneva, and would be un-American if I were not the case; and similarly the wetical workings of the creed of American Catholies will be very difflcult in the outcome from the effect of that creed among Italian or Spanish ultramontanes. There is but one point in reference to which any feelings of alarm are in the smallest dogree justifiable; this is this public school system. We could suffer no national x-:mlnmfl.y more far-reaching in its effects than would be implied i the abandonment of non-sectarian com- mon schools: and it is a very unfortu- nate thing for any man, m' hndy of men, to be identified with op ion thereto. But it must be borne m mind that hos- tility to the public schools is not really a question of sects at all; it is merely an illusf ion of the survival or impor- tation here of the uttorly un-Amer- ican and thoroughly old world idea of the subordination of the layman to the priest, Not a few Protestant clergymen oppose our public schools on the one hand, and an ever- increasing number of Catholic laymen support thow on the other, At my own home on Long Island, for instance. the chief opponent of the public schools is, not the Catholie priest, but the Episco- palian clergymen, and he reinforces his slender stock of tritely foolish argu- ments by liberat quotations from the resbyterian theologian. The fight is not one between creeds; it ue between intelligent Ame laymen of evesy faith on the one hand w.\ ambitiov ish or misguided sup- of a worn-out sy cle ||luunt on_the including Episcopali well as Cathol oll, y at vthe much greater cost it. The boy school is be a good s0 at a of life, the per: brought up in the ¢ less qualified to n, but he is distant di 1toge in the ared to the boy brought up in then, it is well for an en, wherever born, to keep these things in mind. In the first place, ““American,” as a political term, has to do with what a man is, not with what his bivthplace was; for many of the most honorable names in our history are those of men born outside of our limits. The (unl who votes against an Trishman or pan simply because he is an Irishman or German, is_in reality quite as hurtfully un-American as is the demagogue who, in seeking to influ- ence our fellow citizens of foreign ori- gin, appenls not to their interests as patriotic residents of the commonwenlth, but to passions and prejudices associated with the nationality they have thrown off. the inevitable, :condly, ton is process of American- and cannot be stopped, though it may be retarded even for genorations. Finally. while it is an advantage to the nation to have eve immigrant become rapidly Ameri ized, yet the vital and_essential b is that done to the individual hims and this benefit is without any corre sponding drawback, for while it s in the immigrant’s powor to fail to become an American, it is entirely out of his power 10 remain what he formorly Tn any case he must lose his birthright; all he can do is merely to commit the suicidal folly of failing to elaim in ex- change his complete portion in the land he has ad opted. -— When nature falters and requires help, recruit her enfeebled encrgies with Dr. J.

Schilte, Cleveland, Ohio, Feb- ruary 5, 1887:* “We consider St. .)uvnhs()nl a very valuable remedy forburns.” Mr. A. Maskey, Wexford, Pa., Writes Feb- ruary 7, 1887: “1 have used St. Jacobs Oil for yoars and know 1t to be best for burns.”” Mr. J. W. Ames, Fairmont, Neb., February 7. 1887, says: “We find it just as efficacious for burns as for bites.” Mr. W. A. Scroeder, Gilbert- ville, Tn,, Febroary 11, 1887: “I have used it for burns, and can say it does its work as recommended.” Of course, in violent burns and scalds, and tho treat- ment of raw surfaces, the directions ac- companying each bottle must be stric tly followed. And if followed strictly, the soothing and curing influence of the ro- medy is beyond comparison. The cu is perfect, and a clear, smooth surface is the result.
