ABOUT Tin; FOREIGNER.
Senator Works in his rather high
mimled speech on Americanism,
could not refrain from giving the
foreigner a slap. That may be part
of the later day Americanism, but
it is simply unwarranted.
Speaking of the high minded folk
who are doing all the up-lifting he
laments that “their effort to purify
regenerate and elevate the citizen
ship of the country has” been made
infinitely heavier and their object
more difficult of attainment by the
admission to this country of un
desirable. inefficient ignorant and
criminal immigrants from foreign j
countries, knowing nothing and j
caring nothing about Americanism \
or our free institutions”.
So the hyphenate is the goat |
whether or no.
Yet jail and court records will
very easily convince Works or any- ■
one who needs convincing that the
native son can easily bear the ]
palm. It is not foreigners or for-j
cign born citizens that inspire the
lynchings in the south; the murder]
frolics of New York gangsters are j
the work of Americans and when 1
a crooked election is pulled off no
one can lay it at the door of the
foreign born citizen because he is
not entitled to father it.
It is all right to make foreigners
the goat, but when it comes to plan
ning and scheming crime, and in its
materialization in the economic po
litical and social world it is the na
tive born that delivers the goods.
The hyphenate is a’l right as a
straw man to lambast When it comes
to political speech making but it
will be found upon investigation ot
outrage or incitement thereto, the
hyphenate is in no class at all. He
is an also-ran.
Of the eigthy-four odd thousand
jail commitments for the year
1904, the figures of which we hap
pen to have handy, and which will
be a fair average (Reports of Cen
sus Bureau), forty-one thousand
were native born white and tewnty
K’X thousand colored Americans. The
balance were either foreigners or
unclassified.
Frederick L. Hoffman prepared
some interesting homicidal tables
for American cities covering a per
iod of eleven years, and Memphis a
purely and typical American city
with an American born population,
leads them all with a per centage
of 52.7, while Milwaukee
which contains more foreign born
probably in proportion to its size
thin any other American city is
lowest with 1.9—quite a difference.
Nor is it all right to represent that
the illiteracy of the foreign born is
the cause of an illiterate menace it
there is one. The native white and
negro illiterates in America reach
the formidable total of three mil
lion and three quarters, while the
foreign born illiterate of all ages
hardly number a million and half.
The total male illiterates of voting
age of all the combined illiterates in
America hardly equals two million
and a quarter and the corrupting
influence of the illiterate foreigner
in politics is therefore quite neglig
ible. Now for the foreigner’s side
of it. There must be some allowance
made for the ruthless destruction of
their ideals. The foreigner comes
to Amorica firm in the belief that
liberty prevails. He has often
enough heard of the Declaration of
Independence, and he has no way
of knowing that with four fifths of
the people the right to life liberty
and the pursuit of happiness is just
a farce. He believes that the courts
are rigidly just, that the police pow
er is honest and impartial, that a
fair deal is assured Jiim and his.
Yet he is more often than not
victimized from the very start; offi
cialdom becomes synonimous with
graft. He is preyed upon by bunco
men and employment sharks going
to work, and miserably exploited by
the majority of the larger corpora
tions. He lias been driven to revolt
iu the steel mills, in the coal fields,
in the metaliferous mines and he is
shot down without regard to human,
and deported or jailed with no re
gard for constitutional rights. He
sees class decisions dishonor the
courts, he sees privileged corpora
tions lobby their legislation through
He sees the powerful corporations
like the coal companies in Colorado
deny them all political rif^its and
est^ilish by their corporate power
a condition to use the language ot
the State Supreme Court where:
“No free, fair, open election as con
templated by the constitution b. poss
ible, where private companies so
throttle public opinion, deny the
free exercise of choice by sovereign
electors, dictate and control all elec
tion officers, prohibit public discus
sions of public questions, and im
perially command what citizens may
and what citizens may not peace
fully and for lawful purpose enter
upon public election and public ter
ritory".
Now we do not mean for one in
i slant to say that foreigners are dis
! criminated against in the United
1 States. They are not. And if the
1 hand of corruption or illegality or
outrage falls heavy upon the for
eigner it also falls with impassive
equality upon the American. It de
] pends entirely whether the foreigner
j is rich or whether he is poor, and
! whether the American is the head
of a great interest or is an Amer
ican working man. One thing that
is done is that the American and
foreigner are treated alike accord
ing to their social status. The for
eign corporation gets the use of the
gunmen and they will shoot down
witli the same light heart the Amer
ican striker as the foreigner, and
the American who leads a strike
with determination stands just as
good a chance of being jailed, rail- '
roaded or deported even though his
ancestors arrived on the Mayflower
and were aides de camp to George
Washington as the gink who passed
through Ellis Island. Take William
D. Haywood. He was deported, kid
napped, jailed and arrested many
times because of his being identified,
with the strenuous side of the labor
movement and the fact that his an
cestors arrived with the Pilgrim
fathers and fought with .Washing
tpn and in the civil war is wholly
immaterial. What is material is
that he is General Secretary of the
I. W. W.
When M’Kinley was assassinated
the outcry against foreigners was
intense, but his assassin was a
young American. And that young
American’s act resulted in placing
laws upon the statute book which
restricted immigration and makes
eevry foreigner a suspocted anarchist
and assassin.
But what we want to get at in
this educational talk upon the for
eigner is that when these politicians
are giving their attention to the
evils of the liypenates and blaming
all on the foreigner they are just
barking up the wrong tree. It is
not a race or national question. It
is essentially an economic question.
The effects that Works deplored
are all effects of an economic
cause. He blames the individual,
but the individual is merely the
creature of a certain economic en
vironment which results in- produc
ing such as he is. And it is there
where one must begin, American or
foreign born, if they are to make
possible the high ideals the best of
them have concerning Americanism
Happiness, human welfare, mo
rality, contentment are not national.
They are human possibilities. They
can be menaced in America as in
apy old world country. And what
ever land one is in will depend very
much upon what- the people make
it, remembering' the environment
makes the people.
