ABSTRACT

In this chapter, the authors show that how the special conditions of the age have immensely multiplied the crowd of the unadapted. All the unadapted of the universe direct themselves to the New World. Despite these invasions, the danger of which no American statesman has hitherto understood, the English race is the majority in the United States; but the other races—Irish, Slavs, Germans, Italians, negroes, and so forth—are for ever increasing. The dangers which threaten Europe threaten the United States more immediately. The War of Secession was the prelude to the bloody conflict which will take place between the various classes living on American soil. The Americans got rid of the Chinese by forbidding them to enter the country; of the Indians by enclosing them in territories surrounded by vigilant guards armed with repeating rifles, having orders to slaughter them as soon as the pangs of hunger drove them to leave these enclosures.
