Hon. Chaklks Jamis Favlkskr,
Chairman I)emocr'ic Conyi-en-lcnal
Committee Dear Sir: A document
purporting to come from ihecommit'.et
of which ou are chairman ha juet
Wen handed me. This tocurucnl bar
been printed, lam told, by thousands,
and mailed throughout the country for
xhtical purpose. In that paper you
tee fit to uee my name and 'grossly mis
represent me and others. I have no
objection to the trutU ro far as my
inotivtsand actions are concerted in
this, or any oiher canva. I believe
in the general policy and princip es of
the Republican party. 1 was one o iu
humb'e members who arsis'.td in the
preservation of the Union during the
civil war. I was a member of the
Thirty-eighth and Thirty-ninth con
gresses, and did what I could toward
bring'ng back the governmi nt t its
proper position with all the states safely
in the Union. I am southern by birth
and education, and was a slave-holder,
and all my family from the revolution
down to that fearful conflict, but as a
representative of the people and the
Union, I voted in congrets to endorse
Mr. Lincoln's emancipation proclama
tion, and for the constitutional amend
ment forever abolishing slavery, there
by depriving myself and family of a
large number of slaves. I am glad and
proud of that aci. I am opposed to the
doctrine of free trade advocated by he
Democratic party. I am for pr per and
. wise protection for all American indus
tries. I know of no such thing in
political economy as raw material for
whatever articlo used for mankind that
requires the uplifting of a hand in the
way of labor has its increased value
just that much, and cannot be free raw
material for that laborer, whether his
work is long or short, hard or easy, is
.entitled to compensation. 1 believe
free wool, free coal, free iron, free
sugar and such articles as require labor
and money and time to produce and
make ready for use to be put upon the
free list is not only detrimental, but
destructive for American industries
(I use American as applied to the
United States alone.)
I am for honest money. Gjld and sil
ver to be used in a just ratio, say 16 to 1,
and paper money based upon these two
metals and in just such quantities as
the growth and prosperity of the coun
try may demand. I am for pensioning
the soldiers of the Union army who de
fended the government in the hour of
its danger, and complying with the
contract made with the government
when it was in great peril a ad needed
these men. I am for giving .the ex
Union soldiers the preference in ap
pointments to office in all cases where
their qualifications are equal to any
other chss of citizens, nor would I
make any distinction because of politi
cal opinions. I am for restricted immi
gration laws, in order to keep from our
shores anarchists, nihilists, paupers
and criminals of other countries, but
would always ba willing to receive 6uch
as come to this country to better their
condition, and who, in taking the oath,
will give their allegiance to the gov
ernment against any other country or
power whatsoever. I believe in our
common school system fully, and that
the English language should be taught
in them all, and that this should be
come an English speaking people.
I believe the largest religious liberty
should be guaranteed to every Ameri
can citizen everyone should be allowed
to worship God according to the dic
tates of his own conse'ence. I believe
in the doctrine of my churches k( the
Baptist) which have ever contended all
through the ages for soul liberty. I do
not believe there is a man living who
can point to a time in all the past when
this people ever persecuted, or at
tempted to persecute any one or sect,
for the manner of their worship. They
have, however, often defended them
selves, and will always be found ready
and prompt to do that in the future.
Now, sir, having briefly stated my
position on the points above, allow me
to say I am not engaged in my secret
plot with my body on earth for the dis
tribution of public documents, or docu
ments from any secret society ; of any
name, anywhere. When this bill,
known as the Indian appropriation bill,
was before congress at its last session,
1 opposed it, and urged the attention of
several members of congress to the
wrong, and urged them to oppose it.
My opposition did not apply alone to
the Roman Catholic church, but to the
Presbyterian, Methodist, Congrega
tional and any other sect in the coun
try. Mr. Linton, of Michigan, spoke
against this feature of the bill bo did
others, both in the house and senate.
Mr. Linton's speech, and remarks by
otaers, we gathered together in a
pamphlet by three or four persons, and
by arrangements decided upon between
us, this document has been sent
throughout the Union. The perslst
ensy with which the Roman Catholic
church clamored for this money has
made that body more conspicuous than
any other. In fact a paper was laid
before congress by the other sects, ask
ing that body to grant no further se
tarian appropriations and declining, as
I understand, to receive further aid
from the government, for they 84W the
unenniat.It.iit.trinalil.v rt thn raoamtisi ami

t'wi document r p'ete with fa-U a to
IlotnUh upiuUl- n to ur tub!le school
and the declaration of thai church In
regard t i our r publican iutslit tior.s.
The A. I. A. ha nothing .o do with
the work 1 am connected with. The
epuolkan committee b re I have never
seen nor ta ked to one moment. Indeed,
I do not ki o Mr. LUbeo.-, the chair
a an of t e committee would not know
him f 1 met him on the street. I bave
never Ixxd in the cotuniitteo room but
ouee, a L,d that wa when I secured the
iioiiticai lampain book; then I saw
Captain Mi Kte for a few minutes, but
not a word wa pasted between u be
yond what related to that nook. I have
bad no consultation, no interview, no
arrangt uicuts one way or another with
tue Republican committee, congre
eional or national, any more than I have
Lad with yours, cekher have the gen
ill men working with me, to far as I
know
I am making no attack on the Roman
Catholic church in its mode of worship
and piculiar beliefs as a religious body
1 contend that people shall worship in
their form of religion as they please,
aud 1 atlirui that I would be one of the
first to defend them In that right. So
I feel toward Methodist, Presbyterian
Congregational and all others. If
Robert Ingersoll desired to establish a
body or society of his faith, and build
a house for use in this city, aad any
party or sect should try by force to
prevent it, I would be found on Inger-
soli's side so would the people I now
represent. But if Mr. Ingersoll pur
posed to force me or those w ho believe
with me, to adopt his belief and forms
of worship, and tear down our personal
rights and blot out our churches, then
he would find an opponent persistent
and bitter.
In the documents sent out by the
committee to which I belong (self-
constituted), there is much taid about
the Roman Catholic church, from the
fact that that church, by her officials,
has denounced our public schools most
vehemently, and Insists that whatever
money Is paid by taat people as school
tax sh. 11 be given over to them for
their own schools. This has not been
asked by any other denomination, I am
sure. The Bap Ists, numbering nearly
four millions In the United States,
maintain their own church schools
never did ask a cent from the govern
ment for that purpose, and yet pay
their school tax without a murmur. So
do all the Protestant denominations. I
am, and all of my brethren are, op
posed to the union of church and state.
So are all Protestants, as a rule. Now,
if Rome will let our schools alone, pay
her taxes, let our political affairs alone,
keep her hands off, there will be no
cause of differences between us. She
must not claim the right to dictate in
the affairs of this government. I am
perfectly willing and anxious for the
pope, Satolli, and all the arch bishops,
bibhops, priests, and every Roman
Catholic in tnls country and the world
to know my position. As one humble
man they may care but little for what
I may say, but I wish modestly to in
form these gentlemen that there are
not less than fifty-five millions of peo
ple in these United States who believe
I trust, as I do on these points, and
they are Republicans, Democrats, Pop
ulists, Prohibitionists, and above all
they are Americans. I am sure, sir,
you are of this way of thinking your
self, and perhaps your entire committee.
In the document of j our committee, you
denounce the A. P. A. society as un
American, un-patriotic, immoral and
uujust, and for wagir g a religious war
on the Roman Catholic church. I am
not called upon to defend that society.
Its platform speaks for itself, and is in
every line and word patriotic and
American. Here it Is:
The following are the declarations of prin
ciples adopted by the National Council of
the A. 1. A. at DesMolnes:
"Loyalty to true Americanism, which
knows neither birth, place, race, creed, nor
party. Is the first requirement for member
ship In the American Protective Association
"The American Protective Association Is
not a political party, and does not control
the political atliliations of Its members; but
It teaches them to be intensely active in the
discharge of their political duties in or out
of party lines, because It believes that all
problems confronting our people will be
bound solid by a conscientious discharge of
the duties of citizenship by every Individual.
"While tolerant of all creeds. It holds tha
subjection and support to any political power
not controlled by American citizens, and
which ciaimsequal if not greater sovereignty
than the government of the United States. Is
Irreconcilable with American citizenship. It
Is, therefore, opposed to the holding of otlices
In state or national government by any sub
ject or supporter of such ecclesiastical
power.
"We uphold the constitution of the United
States of America, and no p. rtim of it more
than its guarantee of religious liberty, but
we hold this religious liberty to be guaran
teed to the Individual, and not to mean that
under its protection any un-American eccles
iastical power can claim any absolute con
trol over t he education of children, growing
up under the stars and stripes.
"We consider the non-sectarian free public
school the bulwark of American Institutions,
the best place for t he education of American
children. To keep them such, we protest
against the employment of subjects of any
un-American ecclesiastical power as officers
or teachers of our public schools.
"We condemn the support out of the pub
lic treasury by direct appropriation or by
contract or any sectarian school, reform
atory or other Institution not owned and
controlled by public authority.
"Believing that exemption from taxation
Is equivalent to a grant of public funds, we
demand t hat no real or personal property be
exempt from taxation, the title to which Is
not vested in the national or state govern
ments, or in any of their sub-divisions.
"We protest against the enlistment In the
United States army, navy, or the militia of
any state, of any person not an actualcitizen
of the I nlteo Mates
We demand for the protection of our cltl
r.en laborers the prohibition of the imnorta
tlon of pauper labor, and the restriction of
all Immigration to persons who cannot show
their ability and honest Intention to become
self-supporting Amerl an citizens.
"We demand the change of the naturaliza
tion laws by a repeal cf the art authorizing
the naturalization of minors, without a pre
T'.ous declaration of intention, and by pro
viding that no alien shall be naturalized or
permitted to vote In any state in the union
who cauuot speak the language of the land,
and who cannot prove aeven year oonwcu
live residence in this country from the date
of tils declaration of his intention.
VW uroiesl against lite gross fcegllgencw

lug mien at the ekpense of commit Me or

"We demand that all hospital, asylum,

are maintained by the public or by private
CorjHirattotis or Individual.
-Ve demand (hat all national or (late

and In uo instance In faorof anyone sec

people.
ThU I a secret society, I axinlt, but
what have you to say alsmt the secret
societies of the liom inCatholicehureh?
Whut miriwtsj hm'fl then hefuro them
They use you for the present, but when
the time comes, and it will if our peo
ple do not prevent it now in a most
emphatic manner, those people will
care no more for you and your party
than they will for me and those who
act with me. By what right, under
the laws of this country, does the Ro
man Catholij churcb send its nuns to
departments on pay day, to stand with
outstretched hands asking for contribu
tions from the clerks of these depart
ments, while no one is seen or allowed
from other denominations the same
privilege? Will you explain this In
fringement upon the rights of the em
ployes of tho government by this par
ticular sect? We, as Protestants, only
ack equal justice and fairness to every
sect, and the granting of no exclusive
privileges to any. We will not bo sat
isfied with anything else.
Missionaries of the Roman Catholic
church are entitled to the same privil
eges In this country that we ask for
ours In other countries, and we, as
Protestants and Americans, proX)so to
secure these privileges and rights to
them, but they must keep their hands
off of the government, public schools,
out of the public treasury for sectarian
purposes, pay their Uixes, support the
government as a if pub! c, and take
their chance with the rest of us in
winning people to their mode of wor
ship aud belief in God. When this
position is assumed and carried out in
good faith, we will be a band of Ameri
can brethren working together In
peace, with no bitterness and unkind
ness. This I bolieve to be American
doctrine, and I am American through
and through, and will use my best
efforts, humble as they may bo, to in
duce every other citizen to be so, of
whatever political party or religious
faith. I undertake tbis ork in a
christian spirit absolutely, trusting to
its accompl sbment by the united
efforts of every t-ue man and woman,
through christian and wise measures,
not by persecution nor force of arms.
The preservation of the republic, the
general education of the people by non
sectarian schools, with our colleges,
universities and other church schools
maintained alone by their respective
sects, the independence of the people,
the free exercise of suffrage, special
privileges to none, equal rights to all,
and the union now and forever, one and
Inseparable, Is the position of myself
and friends I represent. Respectfully,
Green Clay Smith.
Predict Our Success.
Cleveland, O., Oct. ao. Editor of
The American Dear Sir: Having
been a subscriber of your paper for a
few weeks, I desire to say that the man
who wrote the article signed "Calvin,"
as published in your paper October 26,
must be a dandy. The article seems to
cap the climax. It is full of sound
American doctrine which ought to pre
vail everywhere. If Satolli will be
honest with himself he will know that
this article is very near the whole
truth, and hence can take no offense at
Its publication. You are doing a
mighty work. God and our country
are on your side. If you keep on as
you are doing, I believe you will suc
ceed in making good citizens out of all
such Romans as can read. Even Satolli
will soon wish to go back home if con
tinually confronted with such truthful
blasts. No one can deny the history of
the past.
It is strange how the Bible lends its
wisdom to back up every noble and
good work. It is a most wonderful
book. It has charity for all, even
Sitolli if he would look beyond Italy
for his blessing.
Your paper Is enjoyed by myself and
family. It seems to be so free and fair
to all. It Is, of course, decidedly Amer
ican, and in that we see its great beauty.
I have never joined the A. P. A., hav
ing been born one. Perhaps the form
ality will not be necessary. Allow me
to predict great success for your Amer
ican paper. Yours truly,
An American.
Satan's Stronghold to He Purified.
Detroit, Mich., Nov. 5. Rev. Dr.
D. D. McLaurin, pastor of the largest
and wealthiest Baptist church in the
city, today announced that a movement
had teen inaugurated for the formation
of a municipal reform party for the
purpose of purifying all public offices
and placing out of power anything that
savors of the political machine. The
most prominent as regards wealth and
influence are in the movement, and
religious creed is no bar, Catholics as
well as Protestants being represented.
Two of Dr. Parkhurst's assistants have
been sent for and will arrive this week,
when active work will be begun.

Warned Against the Public School.
The following letter apiearod in the
Enterprise & uttml at Sedalla, Mo:
Editor EnU rjirine Sntintl: I send
you the enclosed clipping from an old
Issue of lfair's Wukly, which, in
view of the attack being made ujMn the
A. P. A. by the Sedalia Ikinocrnt and
other paX'rs, seems very necesary to
be published at this time that the pub
lic may at least know that the Amerl
can Protective Association Isa necessity
of the present age. This was written
fifteen years liefore the A. 1. A. existed
and was considered tmtxirtant enough
to have place in that most influential
American weekly.
"One of the most dangerous traits of
the rigid form of Romanism prevailing
among us i its total want of gratitude,
Without remorse it would sting the
breast that gives it shelter. It teaches
its uncultivated followers, from the
first moment when they touch the
shores of freedom, to hate the Bible,
the foundation of American progress;
to assail the common schools, the chief
source of public and private virtue; to
array themselves In an Isolated and
domlneerlngcaste, teeming with Euroj)
ean prejudices and pledgod to maintain
a lasting hostility to those generous
Institutions and that liberal govern
ment which have provided them with
a safe home. It inculcates all the vio
lence of sectarianism, and warns its
adherent against any friendly union
with Protestant Americans. This sys
tem of instruction begins when the
immigrant first lands upon our soil. We
have among us a board of commission
ers of Emigration, provided by the
state of New York, for the protection
and security of the great hosts of
EuroiHjan emigrants who annually
our into our harbor. Unhuppily this
board has been controlled for several
years by the same class of men who
huve ruled In our city lnjlitics. Its ex
penditures and its appointments, It
government and its influence, have
been guided chiefly by IComan Catho
lics; and although more than one-half
the immigrants are unconnected with
the church of Rome, yet the moneys
contributed by them to the common
fund have been expended, it is stated,
upon Ron an Catholic officials, by Ro
man Catholic direction, and a portion
even upon building a Romanlsh chapel
upon Ward's Island. The Immense In
fluence exercised by this board, whether
upon the emigrant at his first landing,
or upon the countless throngs claiming
Its protection In the hospitals, or in
different parts of the staie and country,
can scarcely be estimated too highly;
in the hands of the open enemies of the
common schools and of Protestaut in
stitutions, it must seem singularly dan
gerous. No sooner docs the emigrant land at
Castle Garden than he falls into the
hands of the priest, whether by the
connivance or the direction of the com
missioners, ho Is at once provided, if he
is a German, with a pamphlet Inscribed
with the suggestive molto, "Jesus,
Maria, Joseph," the symbol of the
Jesuit faction. It is preparid by the
German Catholic Union, and is
designed to preserve the foreign
citizen in a strict isolation from
the native population. He is told
that America Is a perilous land
gefahrllches godless and corrupt;
that to escape its dangers, he nvist rely
chiefly on the councils of his priest. He i
is directed never to take service with
a Protestant German or a doubtful
Catholic; even American Protestants
are to be preferred, with the exception
of Baptists and Methodists, who are
especially to be avoided. Ho must
never abandon his native language, or
forget the customs of his fathered.
Only German is to be spoken in his
family, and his children are to be per
suaded, and even compelled ja, swinge
sle to address their parents in their
own tongue, lest they learn the irrever
ent manners of American youth. But
it is against the public schools that the
emigrant is especially warned as the
centres of moral and spiritual corrup
tion.
"Keep your children," the Catholic
Union Insists, "away from state
schools, which one might better call
heathen schools, or even by some worse
name." And one of its orator., pro
ceeds to demand that the school fund
shall be divided in such a way as to in
sure the education of the people in the
rigid principles of Romanism." Yours
for justice and truth, AN A. P. A.

Boston, Mass. Oct. 211 1894 Editor
"American" As your paper comes
without a wrapper, the P. O. P's (Post
Office Pats) have a fine opportunity to
read it if so diposed and you know
how much they love the A. P. A.!
Why do our people explain so much
aud apologize for the order! Those
murderous bands, the "Clan-na-gaels,"
the "A. O. II." the "Foresters" etc.
dont trouble themselves to give a rea
son for combining to destroy our coun
try. The A. P. A. can, "get there just
the same," if it will talk less and work
more. I am afraid they are admitting
all sorts of traitors and cranks to the
order, for the purpose of swelling the
ranks and it will not le long before the
really honest patriots will become dis
gusted and withdraw. Politician? and
demagogues also, will surely destroy
the usefulness of tho society, a they
did the "Native American Party," In
my young day. My father who was a
member of that party used to lament
the decline of so Important a factor In
the life of American Institution, and
attributed its destruction solely to t'le
demagogue who were determined to
rule, or ruin, and who were alway, "on
the fence," ready to jump Into any or
ganization they thought would lie "on
top".
Unless American awake from sleep,
it will not bo loug before most of our
prominent men will have liven il
soiled by those thugs, tho Jeult! Doe
any sensible person believe that so
many patriotic men are dying from
heart-failure, paralysl and kindred
diseases who never showed the slight
est symplon of such dUcaso dropping
dead or wasting away from soine un
known sickness that "bailies" the most
skillful physician! During the time
W. E. Russell wa governor of Mass
achusetts, six judges of our court died
I believe they all died, one may have
resigned and I am told that he put
six papists in their places and Roman
ized eleven courts! Would any of those
"substitutes" dare convict a "holy
father" of crime? But woe betide a
christian minister who, however Inno
cent, should bo brought before them!
Americans sleeping, while foreign
fiends are destroying our Institutions
and our people! Oh, that tho A. P. A.
may be true to their country and its
institutions, and that the foolish Amer
icans who will not see tho danger of
upholding so terrible a conspiracy as
tho papacy may eventually bo convinced
and join, heart and soul, with the noble
spirits who are dally risking life und
all they possess in warning tho nation
against the machinations of Hpcry!

Steady Advance of the Order in Spain
and Portugal.
In strong contrast with the hostilities
displayed by the Roman Catholic church
toward Masonry in Italy and France Is
tho tolerant attitude of Its clergy to
ward the craft, in Portugal and Spain.
I remem'x'r some years ago attending
the funeral at Llstxin of Antonio de
Aguiar, who at the time of his death
held the place of Grand Master of the
order In Portugal. Don Antonio was
an ex-minlBter of public works, a sena
tor, the president of the Royal Geo
graphical Society and had for seven
years acted as govornor under the pres
ent king. His body lay in state for two
days in the church of St. Isabclle, at
Lisbon, arrayed In his Masonic insignia
and among the wreaths and floral em
blems deposited at the blor were many
bearing Masonic Inscriptions. During
the whole time that the body remained
in the church priests were kneeling in
an attitude of prayer beside the coffin.
On the day of the funeral which was at
tended by representatives of the king
and queen in state carriages, a large
cortege ot prelates and priests in full
canonicals were preserft. They drove
to the cemetery In court carriages. The
full services of the Roman Catholic
church were performed at tho grave by
the clergy, during the course of which
the discourses of farewell to the dead
statesman were delivered by D.-puty
Senor Ellas on behalf of the Freemasons
of Portugal, and by Senor Vlllaieno on
behalf of those ot Spain. The latter,
by the way, though the most Catholic
country on the face of the earth, has ae
its Masonic Grand Master Senor Sag-
asta, the present prime minister.
In Sweden and Norway the grand
mastership Is held by King Oscar, who
occupied that office long before his as
cension to the throne, and his sons are
all Masons, as are also the sons and
grand sons of Queen Victoria, whose
heir, the Prince of Wales, is grand
master of the British Masons. In Den
mark it is the crown prince that is at
the head of the Grand Orient, while
the late Enperor Frederick held the
grand mastership of Prussia's Free
masons from the year before his mar
riage until the time of his death. The
present emperor, although a Mason,
has declined to accept the grand mas
tership in succession to his father, and
It Is now held by his brother-in-law,
Prince Frederick Leopold. Like all
the sovereigns who have reigned over
Prussia since the time of Frederick the
Great, William figures on the roster of
the order of protector of the Frusi-ian
branch of the craft.
It is probably owing to this marked
interest in the fortunes of the craft
manifested by royalty in the north of
Europe that has led to the large repre
sentation of the aristocracy to be found
in the order. hue in t ranee and
Italy membership of a lodge is regarded
in the light of an admission that one
belongs to the nnuixlUs couches of so
ciety, in Prussia, Scandinavia and par
ticularly In Great Uritain, the Grand
Orients are composed almost exclusive
ly of titled personages or of the inti
mate associates of royalty. The result
is that in London and Berlin admission
to a good lodge is just as eagerly sought
and as difficult to secure as election to
an exclusive and fashionable club. Ex-

The Juniors Awake.
Marion, Ohio. Nov. 2 1891. Hon. J.
C. IIardentergh, addressed an enthusi
astic audience last evening in the Jun
ior Order hall. His lecture entitled
"What is true Americanism," should
bo heard all over the country. It was
ailve with beautiful thoughts, and
dressed in the choicest language. He
denounwnl In no uncertain terms the
Roman bleran-by, and proved conclus
ively that if our own free country would
climb higher the plane of civilization,
the clthcnship must fight openly and
Inildly till great enemy of freedom.

It is currently reported that a Bohe
mian priest In this city announced at
the mass last Sunday morning that a
jHH'lal meeting would be held at the
church behind clotted door In the after
noon. That tho special meeting was
well attended when the priest proceeded
to Instruct hi flock to vote against the
Republican candidate for councilman In
the second ward because he was not a
Catholic but a free-thinker; that they
should vote fur Mr. Flynn because he
was a Catholic. This some what In
censed many of hi hearers and they
wore somewhat vehemlont In their
public denunciations of the priest for
interfering with their ixilltleal rights,
and on election day. Flynn was turned
down.
