We have been weaned away from our natural leaders. We have been taught
to look to those who cannot even speak our language and who do not hold
our institutions dear. A people that turns from its own leaders, or a
people whose leaders have been turned from the sacred responsibilities
of the high office of leading, is in a precarious position, and becomes
an easy victim to confusion of soul. There is a dearth of voices in the
land today, the prophets are dumb, or are reading beautiful essays to
the people. Suspicion has been sowed like darnel seed between classes of
the same race, the people have been broken up, and the subversive Jewish
influence supports the oligarchy of unserviceable wealth at one end of
the social scale, while it stimulates the baser elements of industrial
unrest at the other end. And the race thus rent asunder to its own
undoing, does not see this—capital does not see, and labor does not
see—that the leaders of chaos are alien in blood and soul.
To keep American and Christian the school, the church, the legislature,
the jury room and the Government, is the most potent resistance that can
be made to the evil influences which have been upon us and which this
series of articles has partly uncovered. The strength of all subversive
influence is in proportion as we cease to be what we ought to be. The
evil influences surrounding this people can succeed only as they change
this people into something less than it ought to be. Therefore, to go
back to the old landmarks, whereby we made all the progress we ever
made, is not only the part of wisdom, but the need of the hour. The
school must be cleansed. The jury box must be kept inviolate—trial by
jury has almost disappeared in Jewish New York. The church must be
un-Judaized and Christianized. The Government must be Americanized. Let
there be the utmost freedom of thought and speech, but let there be also
with it a discrimination which will prevent the people being victimized
by every spurious idea, every “gold brick” economic proposal which comes
along. It needs only that men be awake to their better interests and to
leave no place in their scheme of life for the practices which destroy
the very foundations of confidence.
Surely it must be understood by this time that the Jews rule, not by
reason of their brilliance or their money, but by ideas which are not
even properly Jewish, but Babylonian. They have captured the castle from
within. They have been able to do so only because of our ignorance of
the lineage and dignity of the stock of ideas upon which our
civilization has been founded. Our people needs to engraft itself again
on the parent tree and draw again the sustenance which made it great and
fruitful.
