Every foot of American soil has been purchased with the blood of our fathers. and they have bequeathed it to us. their children. as a sacred heritage. and we should preserve every foot of it for our American citizens and their posterity to the furtherest generation. I want the American flag to always float over American soil owned by Americans and not to float as a mockery over soil owned and controlled by aliens. I might say. by way of parentheses. that If we shall throw down the gates of immigration. If we shall by treaty or statute law permit the yellow race to have equal rights In this Government with the people of the United States. then in a few years the Government of China and the Governments of the East could duplicate every citizen in America. and It would not in any way injure that country or those countries. but would be a relief to them and would render less troublesome the congested condition of their population. and our population in America would be doubled by aliens. We should preserve the soil for America and Americans. and that through our State laws.
