The American Language [excerpt]

     Wherever crime or pauperism is found in America it may be traced back to some crusht [sic] family in Europe, whose descendants came to us with so low an inheritance, mentally and physically, that it will require many generations of American environment to lift them from the fallen state of their progenitors, to the level of American civilization, where men with the pride of manhood look each other in the face as equals. The wretch Czolgoz, was not the product of American civilization, but that of Europe, where unequal laws, social customs and military rule, degrade and brutalize the masses.
