"No lie I uf the truth," whether told
by preacher or politician. In a sermon
preached In Boston, Ms., prior to the
nomination uf Grover Cleveland, after
paying a tribute to tt I til Wauwt of 111
magnificent Is orlng to w ife and child,
I ald : "Had ho glim to Rome wide
hlrth, the country could have trusted
him. Rut when wo rcmomlr Hint ho
who voUsmI t ho Protectory bill, a toon
a ho became President, according to

tbfir""tt oneo attention was called to
his veto of tho l'mtoctory bill. In a
Mormon preached In 1881 I used this
language: "It will bo remembered
that ono of tho many reasons urged by
tho opponents of Grover Cleveland was
th. .'i ho hod unjustly vetoed an ap
propriation of 020,000, Included In tho
supply bill of 188.'!, 'for tho support and
maintenance of Juvenile delinquents at
the Catholic Protectory.' He said,
'Tho name of this Institution Implies
that only ltoman Catholic children are
there provided for, Jf this be so, this
fact furnished a good reason why pub
lic funds should not bo contributed to
its support, A violation of this prin
ciple, in this case, would tend to sub
ject tho Htato Treasury to demands In
behalf of all classes of sectarl in Institu
tions, which a duo care for the moneys
of tho Htato and a Just economy could
not concede, ond which would have a
Justification In precedent."
Thousands on thousands approved of
it, and voted for a man that dare suy
note Home. Hro came our sorrow.
No sooner was Grover Cleveland warm
in the Presidential chair than he wrote
a letter to the T,ady Huperlor of tho
convent in Albany and sent her a check,
People wondered ot it. Then came
other facts which gave immense sorrow
to the hearts of patriots. Without
enumerating them, I will simply say
that In May, 1888, I went to Washing
ton to attend tho Uuptlst,aniilversarles.
I was invited by five different ministers,
who were tho pastors of prominent
churches, to preach, but was told that
I must not say one word about I toman
Ism. Tho subject of Humanism was
tabooed, I Inquired tho causo and
found to my surprise and sorrow that
Washington was lovtho lap of Homo
that 1.1,000 department clerks were tin-',
dor the surveillance of Home, and that
if I should touch Hoiuunlsm in any
church tho clerks there in attendance
would bo disturbed and that It would
not do, Then It was the nubor came
to me, to which I have referred, and In
the preface to "Washington In tho
Lap of Home," then and there written,
I said "If It Is not true, us is charged,
that a private wire runs from the
Whlto House In Washington to tho
cardinul's palace in liultlmore, mid
that every important question touch
ing the Interests of Humanism in Amei
- lea is placed before his eye, bofora it
becomes a public act, it is true that tho
cardinal Is a factor In jtolltles. Human
ism is the dominant power In tho Cap
itol of the United Klates. Lincoln,
Grant, and Arthur withstood it and
suffered the consequences. The power
is unseen. It is shadowy. It Inhabits
the air and infects it. Homanism is
the malaria of the spiritual world. It

mankind.
This boo t shows that Grover Cleve
land left "tho Presbyterlun Assembly"
In Philadelphia to ride with tho cardi
nal at tha head of a procession which
they Ixdioved was to number 50,000 and
was to march to tho grounds whero the
corner-stone of the Jesuit University
was to bo laid, which procession in an
swer to prayer was broken up. It
shows that 1"),0(K) department clerks
wore asked for money twice a month,
and If they did not respond tho yellow
envelope was sent them and they wore
dismissed from tho servlco for one rea
son or another. This I saw with my
own eyes, and for weeks every Monday
morning wo sent great Jong petitions
and placed them In tho hands of his
private secretary asking hlni to look
Into tho matter and have tho law en
forced which shut all nnns out of
the departments. Ills denial docs not
do away with this fact, which thou
sands romemlicr. No attention was
paid to them while, Grover Cleveland
was President, ' Mt under Benjamin
Harrison's administration Uncle Jerry
Husk issued an alarm and they have
boon shut out of iho great department
buildings and I hope out of all. A t any
rate they ought to bo excluded from
every public building in tho United
Htates and from the entrances of our
navy yards, and wherever men are cm
ployed in tho public service.
I am not here as a Itepuhllcan or us a
politician. Borne ono asks, Have the
nuns been shut out of all tho depart
ments ur.diy President Harrison? I
do not know, for I have not been in
Washington for two years, but previous
to that I lectured there and found them
still traversing the departments, ond
In great meetings we protested against
the whole business. The hospitals are
largely in Homan Catholic hands and
some terrible facts were brought to tho
attention of the people.
Just hero let us thank Coil that the
people have had their attention called
to tho aggressions of Homanism as
never lsforo. Homo got a black eye
when tho Orangemen's telegram pro
tested against tho nomination of a man
felt to bo subservient to Homo, and In
Chicago the titter Ignoring the Tam
many, tho business partner of "The
man of tho Tiber," and tho denial of
this alliance with Home on the purt of
Grover Cleveland, are full of encour
agement. It is unfortunate that Mr, Cleveland
did not discriminate a little, Tho wire
part might 1st dilllcult to prove, but
thousand know that tho latter part of
the statement Is true,
Why deny it? Is Jt wrong If proven
true? Will Mr. Cleveland If elected
agree to relegate Humanists to the
place occupied by other denominations
Presbyterians, for instance? Would
tl?e country stand discriminations In
the favor of Presbyterians or Baptists?
'All would answer, No! Why, then,
permit Homanlsts to bo an exception?
It is a'jrgod tlmo to ask tho question of
all candidates for the suffrages of tho
people, i f-t the board question bo dis
cussed through oil Its moods and tenses.
'1. Bhall an alliance be tolerated be
tween the State ond tho Homan Catho
lic Church? Why do the nuns manage
so many of our government 'hospitals?
It cannot bo that they ore superior as
nurses, for tho history of tho war shows
the contrary, f
Why should there Isj a female semi
nary built In close proximity to every
government post In hopes of having
Homan Catholic girls capture our young
officers? ,
Why should priests have such power
In securing ttpjiolntmorits In every de
partment of social and civil life? Why
should Mr. Cleveland deny that Homan
Catholics wero in charge of nearly
every division of the departments?
Was it wreng to have it so? Many of

What Grover Cleveland said against
tho tariff we w ill say against the siwer
of Home : "We are not at enmity with
the rights of any of our cltlens, or our
countrymen. We are not recklessly
heedless of any American interests,
nor will we abandon our regard for
them i but Invoking the love of fair
ness and Justness which belongs to
true Americanism, and upon which
our Constitution resin, we Insist that
no plan of legislation shall 1ms tolerated
which ha for its object and purpose a
forced contribution from the earnings
and Income of the mass of our cltlens
to swell directly the accumulations of
a favored few."
To-day Homanlsts are In bondage to
Rome. Their wages are farmed out
and their earnings are mortgaged to
tho church. Tho promise of spiritual
help hold out to them Is foiAided on a
lie, and "No He Is of tho truth."
Not only is tho money of tho poor de
manded, but their votes ore sold as
sheep are sold In tho shambles. This
fills every congressman with fear. Any
question In which Homo Is Interested
Is watched by priests, who are ulways
present, and If the vote of any congress
man is averse, tho whole Homan Cath
olic vote Isaiulnst him. Then again
It Is possible to buy the Homan Catho
lic vote, no matter how Homanlsts may
personally fool in regard to the man to
bo voted for, A member, of Congress
lost his seat because a man of wealth
went to the bishop and oltured to build
him a chapel, providing tho Homan
Catholic vote was given lilm. Hun
dreds eaino to him and expressed their
regret that they must vote against
him, but vote against him and the
chapel wus built In u country nominal
ly Protestant. Now I understand there
are those connected with Urungu, or
ders that call this politics, and declare
that they are opposed to having politics
touched In those discussions.
Then it Is hopeless to proceed. Homo
now knows how to pull tho wires, and
Protestants sit still and allow them to
do so.
!, What ought to be done? We an
swer, l real ull alike, There Is no rea
son why every American should be ex
cluded from employment, so that the
favorite of a priest might bo taken care
of. Hay ltund act It and all will 1st
well. Tell Rome to take a back seat,
as wus done at Minneapolis when the
Orongo resolution wus published for
the first time and the name of Homan
ism was spoken In a great convention,
As WHdono when Tammany (which is
but another name for Homanism) wus
compelled) grind her teeth In rage
when the lenders suw that their rule
was not absolute beyond Now York,
As Lord Salisbury said, Homo Is al
ways and every whero opposed to Lib
erty.
Americans, wo know this to bo true.
Let us avow it. Homo has gone far
too far; let us coll a halt. This Is tho
time to act. We are almost at the top,
This letter Grover Cleveland that
does W)t dirriy shows the sensitiveness
of the man to the charge that he sold
out to Home. Let him bo asked for
guurunteei that Homo shall tukoahock
seat, with Harrison, Weaver and Bid-
well, and let m, antl-Homanlsts give
our support to tho man who will tie
true to tho (lag and to Mbortyfv

cold and contemptuous almudoumcnt
by Homo of IsiurlNiulstn and monarchy
In Franco. Amnrlcans In particular
have a sieolul Interest In looking Into
the true stgnlllcauce of this latest move
en tho part of tho va'.lean. No dynasty
In huroH has done more for Homo and
for the papacy than tho descendant uf
loiiis Capet, The glories of bourbonlnm
are the triumphs of Homo. Tho key
note of the history of France Is loyalty
to I tome. Ono scion of that Ill-starred
house of Citjiet figures as a saint In tho
lli ilium calendar, and duo mention is
made of his sanctity and his miracles In
the breviary. Another bourbon sullied
forever an otherwise respected name,
ami still another steeped his bauds in
innocent blood to deserve tho praise of
Homo. While tho bourbons continued
powerful, Home was not slow to show
her gratitude and to strengthen herself
in strengthening tho hands of her
servile ally. When under Louis XVI.
tlie people of Franco first began to
show signs of discontent ami worn pro-
paring to make a strong demand for
their ancient llbiirtles, Hie Jesuits
lolldly ranged themselves on tho side
(if despotism, ami the sharp und heavy
knlfo descended on tho nock of the heir
to a thousand sins. A priest stood at
the side of the grim-looking Instrument
of death uuil held up a crucifix und
cried, 'Ascend to heaven, 'soul of the
son of Ht, Ioiilsl'
U'iroly iHomo was ) bound to this
dynasty by tho strongest bonds of grat
itude. Surely the bourbons had a right
to claim her as a friend In need. For
ton centuries monarchy und Humanism
had In France been convertible terms.
Why now this betrayal of a friend?
Why does Homo break without A blush,
without one word of apology, those
strong ties of ancient friendship? Ah,
but was it friendship? Had It been un
honest and sincere union? History
cries 'No.' Homo knows not what
friendship Is; she cannot be sincere,
Let us learn a lesson from tho fate of
bourbonlsm und monarchy fu France,
Wo need not waste any sympathy on
tho bourbons nor drpp one tear of re
gret for tho political system they
represented, but wo cannot without a
feeling of abhorrence and disgust con
template the base policy and the
traitorous Ingratitude of Homo,
"Why has J tome coldly turned away
from un old but weakened und useless
friend? The unswer Is simple, Homo
Is not and cannot 1st loyal to any form
of what she calls temporal government,
Lot no man 1st deceived. Whether
Home professes loyalty to republican
principles or to kingly rule, whether
she blesses oligarchy or despotism, she
Is always In reality ulra-inimluw, I, e.,
her Interests lie beyond tho mountains,
They center In Homo. Homo swore
allegiance to bourbonlsm and monarchy
only to betray both when her til tramon
tane policy demanded a change, Home
vows fealty to American principles for
a ol!!sh purpose and not in good faith,
Is there on American who thinks she
will hesitate to deceive heretics when
she betray her oldest friend in Europe?
Professions of loyalty ore easily made.
Home was untiring In her professions
of attachment to monarchy In France.
We could easily cite a thousand In
stances, Yet when the real test came
these professions were shown to bo
hollow and worthless.
But, it will Isi objected, why not give
Homo a chance? It Is crue she has bo
trayed the royalists of France, but
what of that? It has never Isten shown,
objecting friends will say, that she Is
unfaithful to her political obligations
in a republican country. Let such go
with mo over the recent history of tho
oldest republic of the christian era, I
do not wish to speak l those alleged
republics to the south of us. Let us
briefly glance over tho history of
Hwlt,erland In the period extending
from 1H.I0 to 1H18.
In tho year lH.'IO a tidal wave of de
mocracy and reform swept over the
rock-lstund republic. Tho events In
Paris In the sumer of that year gave
now linH'tus to those Hwlss patriots
who felt the necessity of remodelling
antiquated forms and Institutions on a
broad, liberal, modern and national

the notvwdty of tlliNvnnii .) nmU after
the manner of t law ancient church.
Mlmrtly after thl one of Urn priest
pivachisl n crmon fraught with Pmt-
ordsnt Ideas, ami a ho was unw illing
to recant, ho was deponed from office
by an lnqulit,ory tribunal. The re
formed Cuihollc movement had alarmed
the til t ramontanes, and t hey now set
to work to prevent If potnlblo the re
currence or such ft movement, i he
Catholic or Ultramontane parly forced
the Issue, llrst on the full and complete
restoration of the convents, anil In the
succeeding years on the admission of
the Jesuits Into Hwltorhuiil.
And right here begins the remark
able resemblance between the Ameri
can war of secession and lite Hwlss
Roman Catholic confederacy called the
Hondorlniuil, that is, tho separated
federation, Tho Humanists who wero
powerful In seven cantons, conceived
the Idea of breaking a way from the old
Helvetian union and forming a now
confederacy, dedicated to tho proposi
tion tl'tit the Homan Church Issupreme
In political not less than In spiritual
matters, The Jesuits found an entrance
into the powerful cantoris of Lucerne
und Schwyz, Tho ono object of the
Jesuits was from thence forward to
split tho Hwlss union and to destroy
every vestige of Protestantism 1$ those
cantons which they already controlled.
Tho attention of the great American
apostle of Homan toleration Is here
with respectfully called to an instance
of tho Catholic brand of this'.iluiltty.
As soon as the Jesuits had gained com
ploto ascendency in the canton of Wul
lls, where the ProtosluutM, though In
tho minority, were yet a respectably
large part of the Inha'iltants, they
summarily suppressed all forms of Pro
testant worship und would not even
allow prayer meetings In private houses,
This, tolerant and persuasive cardi
nal, happened not In tho dark uges or
In tho days of the Mpuulsti Inquisition,
but In the mouths of Juno ami July In
tho year of our Lord 111, This oc
curred at tho very time when tho Pro
testitnt and lib ira! City of Zurich had
mode new und Urge concessions to the
Romanists, who are very scarce In the
community of Zurich, The Jesuits In
Wallls und the bishop of Wall Is went
yet further. They made It a misde
meanor to bury Protestants In uny
cemetery under the control of either
city, church or state. They reorgan
ised and subjected to their control
every school In tho canton, und the
bishop solemnly declared that tolera
tion was In contradiction to the funda
mental laws of the Homan Catholic
Church. Nor did the,, results atop
here, Tho good old domoorutlo form
of government was swept away; the
right of suffrage was curtailed; the
right to revise tho constitution wus
clrcumserllsiil und limited ; arbitrary
power was conferred on the State Coun
cil ami tho Judicial tribunals were
practically made powerless, (See con
stitution of the Canton of Wallls of
lH:m and 111, Snell, Swiss Jurlsprtt-
dunce Vol, II, pp. 85'J und HtMI. Bauni
gurten Vol. 111., pp. J70-172.)
Then began tho real contest by the
Jesuits against tho old Swiss union.
Tho government of Lucerne hud put
down with an iron hand tho popular
revolt ugulnst tho hated order. Many
brave and daring men were put to
death because they loved their country
more than the society of Loyola. The
Jails were filled with aiitl-Josults, Tho
Jesuits, however, when the year 1 rt 17
came urounl, hail been so successful
In their agitation for a new Swiss Ro
man Catholic confederacy that seven
cantons hail fully resolved to break
away from the old Helvetian union If
they could not force Romanism und
Jesuitism upon the whole of Switzer
land. Secession was preached In the
name of Rome. The Catholic canton
Schwyz was one of the hot-beds of se
cession. The rebels mode pilgrimages
to St. Mary's Convent at Fmsldclm
In Wallls the olllcers of the secession
ist forces touched their swords to "holy
relics." In Lucerne tho Pupal am
hassudor blessed the Hags of rebellion.
In every separatist canton the priests
and monks distributed amulet and
agnuK to the soldiers of tho new
confederacy. The Protestants and III)-
eral cantons did not want the war. No
stone was left unturned to avert the
fraternal conflict. Basel, a Protestant

History repeat Itself. The plans of

thing else Is a means to that end. Will
Americans urd Protestants take heed
and oppose 1 1 a arrogant claims of the
Vatican. There is one sure way to do ,
It. It was said of, old Cato that he
rightly foresaw tho djnger from tho .
growing ijilluenco of Carthago, He
let no opportunity escape to cull tho
attention of his eounlryinwn to the ne
cessity of conquering Curthugo. In
the council chamber, ut his table, In
