It ought to be so now. It would be so now if we were not afraid of disturbing the interests of trade. if we were not afraid of disturbing the immense bank balances which have been accumulated by the wicked greed of men who fear losing. if not a part of their capital. a small per cent of their earnings. The American flag ought to cover the American citizen. naturalized as well as native. They have equal rights. and the man who chooses to deny it denies our history and prostitutes his country. The American citizen ought to be able to claim the protection of its flag. he ought to be able to have the protection of the flag without all these miserable delays which come upon us.
