Excerpt from Of What Use Are Common People?: A Study in Democracy

America has recently become painfully aware of her common people. The awareness itself is old, but the unpleasant sensation produced by it is new. In years past the common people of the United States were thought of as the salt of the earth, the backbone of the race, the great body of unselect from whom emergency might on occasion draw the very type of material required for a pressing need. This earlier national awareness of a great body of common people as an integrant part of the population was comfortable, whereas today Americans feel, or are seeking to make themselves feel, that the presence in the body politic of this great element of common people is a matter for deep national concern.
