It performs the last funeral rite over the dead body of that false and nonsensical dogma of governmental policy that "all men are created equal." It proclaims that this Government will not be controlled in its action on great questions of public policy by the inspiration of our emotions. or legislate under the influence of mere theoretical abstractions as to the natural rights of man. It deals with the practical realities of earth. with men and things as we find them now. with great questions of public economy. and of political and social science as they are presented to us today by the light of experience and of history. It seeks to protect and preserve American civilization and American Christianity against the inroads of Asiatic heathenism and Eastern semibarbarism. and it teaches our people the great lesson that their first and highest duty is to those of their own political household. and to their own blood and their own race. More than a generation has passed since that great statesman and wonderfully sagacious man. Stephen A.
