The American home is indeed the unit of the Republic. In the final analysis. great issues which engage our attention from time to time. in fact the destiny of the Republic. are determined at the American fireside. Abolish the American home. and the days of the Republic are numbered. 371.8 Immigration which ignores this great potential fact is a serious menace. and is not to be desired. The immigrants who have so materially added to our national strength have come mainly from those countries where the home and family relations are sacred. and they have built among us frugal and virtuous homes whence wholesome influences have permeated the entire community. The home is. indeed. the nations supreme defense. Can you conceive that the Chinese who are excluded by the terms of the bill before the Senate would erect homes throughout the country. as has been done by the immigrants from the United Kingdom. France. Germany.
