The presence of the blacks is the greatest evil that threatens the United States. They increase, in the Gulf States, faster than d...o the whites. They cannot be kept for ever in slavery, since the tendencies of the modern world run strongly the other way. They cannot be absorbed into the white population, for the whites will not intermarry with them, not even in the North where they have been free for two generations. Once freed, they would be more dangerous than now, because they would not long submit to be debarred from political rights. A terrible struggle would ensue.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »

From the very nature of progress, all ages must be transitional. If they were not, the world would be at a stand-still and death w...ould speedily ensue. It is one of the tamest of platitudes but it is always introduced by a flourish of trumpets.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
I prefer an income tax, but the truth is I am afraid of the discussion which will follow and the criticism which will ensue if the...re is an other division in the Supreme Court on the subject of the income tax. Nothing has injured the prestige of the Supreme Court more than that last decision, and I think that many of the most violent advocates of the income tax will be glad of the substitution in their hearts for the same reasons. I am going to push the Constitutional amendment, which will admit an income tax without questions, but I am afraid of it without such an amendment.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
