"Am I, therefore, htvirno your en
emy btriuw 1 Ull you the truth?"
Gal. lv, H.
Father Younir, writing lo tho Ihrahl
under ditto of 1 . a. bvr 17, wild that
"the public would bu very trraU-ful t
mo for the exhibition of the proof win
ccmlnif the conipHratlve il'.lUraov,
criminality and Illegitimacy of Catho
lic countrlo a comparvd with tho Pro
testant." In answer to thin challenge
I M nlotio column of undisputed fact,
unlnirachah)Q authorities and irre
fragable proofs, and the fact that he
did not answer nor attempt to produce
a tingle fact todlnproveaslnnlecharge,
practically admit that my testimony,
basked by the highest authority, is un
deniably true.
I charge here that he did not stick
to the text. InsUad of acting as a
gentlemanly and fair antagonist, fur
oiihing contrary facta, ho made use of
such courteous and edlfylngexpresslons
as ''playing cuttlefish to my shark,"
"squirting out a flood of dirty Ink, after
the manner of his klud," "cowardly
robber," "grccn-gooda man," "Infamous
piece of business," "mud-fllnglng argu
ment," "puny antagonism" and "sta
tistical fiend." He did not and he can
not disprove the charge that In Italy
the home of the parochial school, whore
the pope for ll(X) years had his own
way less than five per cent., of the
people wero ablo to read and write at
tho time that the temporal power of
the poiK) was overthrown.
THE EXAMPLE OF SPAIN.
He did not and he cannot disprove
that Catholic Spain is reduced to beg
gary, and eighty per cent. Illiteracy.
Will Father Young please answer why
Protestant America, with all her freed
men, frontiersmen and foreign popula
tion, has leas than sixteen per cent, of
ber people who cannot read and write,
while old Catholic Spain, with no In
flux of foreigners and no untaught col
ored population, has eighty per cent, of
ber people unable to read and write?
He can furnish no evidenco whatever
against my charge that only a small
per cent, of the people of Mexico, Chill
and so on down through the whole list
of Cut hollo countries, are able to read
and write. I pointed him to Catholic
countries, and showed masses dwelling
In ignorance till they shook off the pa
rochial schools.
I challenge hlra to mention one nation
whose children the Catholics have
taught to read and write. Will he an
swer why tho parochial schools have
been repudiated and common schools
established in such Catholio countries
as Italy, France and Mexico?
Why is it that in Catholic Guatemala,
San Salvador and Costa Rica, the state
has taken education out of the hands of
the priests and made education com
pulsory under state control?
Why is it that In Catholic Argentine
Republic, Chili, Uruguay, Venezuela
and Brazil, the parochial schools have
been closed by the Catholic authorities,
and free public schools have been es
tablished? (See W. E. Curtis' "Capi
tals of South America.")
"Ecuador Is the only one of the South
American republics holding on to the
old system of the parochial school. In
all Ecuador there is not a single rail
road or a stage-coach, only one news
paper, and only forty-seven po6tornces.
About four per cent, of the people can
read and write, and no person can vote
unless he is a Roman Catholic." (Rand-
Mcallv s Atlas.)
The nations of South America, Cen
tral America ard Europe, say that the
parochial schools have failed to teach
the people and Is not this the reason
why many progressive Catholics of the
world stand for the public schools?
STATISTICS OF ILLITERACY.
The eight Roman Catholio countries
of Venezuela, A jstrla-Etungary, France,
Brazil, Spain, Portugal, Belgium and
Italy, with an area of 4,452,275 square
miles, and a population of 118,087,02'
of which the average is ninety-one per
cent. Roman Catholic, show an illiteracy
of sixty per cent.
The eight Protestant countries of
Victoria, Sweden, Switzerland, Nether
lands, Germany, Denmark, Great
Britain and the United States, with an
area of 4,134,309 square miles, and a
population of which the average is
eighty per cent. Protestant, show an
illiteracy of tour per cent.
This statement is from data furnished
by the reports of the United States
commissioner of education, the docu
ments issued by the bureau of educa
tion, the census of 1880 and the States
man's Year Book for 1887. I defy Father
Young to disprove these figures.
Now will Father Young permit him
self to be pinned down to telling the
readers of the Herald why the Roman
Catholic states have fifteen times as
many illiterates as the Protestant
states?
Does he think the educational system
which tolerates ttxtjr 111 iterate out of
every KM inhabitant of the countries
it controls ought to have a voice in our
public education? Will ho tell u what
the papacy would do la the United
Slate if it had fne reign, judged from
a record of tho other countries where
it had undii-piiUd sway? Wny U it
that th only tnly great and free na
tlonsof the world are Protestant?

very particular, you may not like the

TESTIMONY FROM CATHOLIC SOURCES
MlssM T. Elder, of New Orleans, a
niece of Archbishop Elder, of Cincin
natl, In an essay read at the Catholic
congress during the worm rair ai
Chlcugo, asked: "Why is it that the
greatest men of our nation are non-
Calhollc? Tho great men of our nation
have been and are and will c intlinie to
bo Protestant. Tho great phllanthro
plsts, the great orators, tho great
writers, thinker, leaders, scientists,
Inventors and teachers of our land have
been Protest tnt a. When I reflect that
out of 70,000,000 of this nation, we num
ber only 0,000,000, and that out of that
9,000,000 so large a proportion is made
up of liquor dealers, jHKirfactory hands,
mill and shop and mine and railroad
employees, 1 fail to find material for
buncombe; and yet we are all eulogiz
ing ourselves."
Tho eminent Catholic theologian, Dr.
Orestes A. Brownson, who affirmed
that "Protestantism of every form has
not and never can have any right where
Catholicity Is triumphant," wrote thus
in tho V&thulic Jkviuo concerning pa
rochial schools: "They who are edu
cated In our schools seem misplaced and
mistimed in the world, as if born and
educated for a world that had ceased to
exist. The cause of failure of what we
call Ca '.hollc education lies, in our judg
ment, In the fact that we educate not
for tho present or the future, but for
the past."
Is it not a fact that the Romish
church controls a large proportion of
the desperate people of society? Do
not our criminal classes come from
countries where the Romish church
has been dominant for centuries? You
do not and cannot disprove the testi
mony of the Catholic journals and
Catholic chaplains, which I quoted
that your church contributes more
criminals than any other religious de
nomination. You did not disprove the
parliamentary report for 1881, which
shows that while the Catholics form
only three-quarters of the population of
Ireland, they furnish six-sevenths of
the criminals.
CONDITIONS IN IRELAND.
Her majesty's Inspectors' report con
cerning juvenile offenders In reforma
tories and industrial schools in Ireland
show that there were in reformatories
inl8S3, 143 Protestants and 956 CathO'
lies. In industrial schools in 1883, 805
Protestants and 5,179 Catholics. In
five counties in the north of Ireland it
requires only eleven or twelve po ice
men to keep order among 10,000 people,
while In five other counties of Ireland,
where there are more parochial schools
it requires from forty-one to forty-six
policemen to keep order among each
10,000 people.
In 1841 the Run an Catholic popula
tion of Ireland was about 6,500,000, who
were under the care of 2.156 priests.
Let the Irish smash tho Romish ma
chine and Ireland will bo free. Ireland
will have home rule when Rome rule
ends.
RELIGIONS AND CRIMES
Leon Buuland, an ex-priest, in the
Furum of July, 1888, calls attention to
the fact that in the cl y of New York
seventy-five per cent of the criminals
are members and adherents of tho Ro
man Catholic church.
If you will study the rcpor s of our
jails rnd penitentarles you will find
that your church has from more than
three to four times its due proportion
according to the population. The same
is true of our pauper institutions. The
inmates are nearly all foreigners, and
nearly all Roman Catholics. Out of
2,362 state paupers in Massachusetts,
Ireland contributed 945, or 40 per cent,
of the whole, while of those born in
Massachusetts there were only 348.
You made no reply to my charge that
out of 4,000 children born in Rome 3,000
are illegitimate. You want the charge
authenticated, do you?
The El Solfeo, an Italian journal of
prominence, publishes the following
statistics: "In 1870 Rome had 2,469
secular clergy among cardinals, bishops.
prelate and run; 2,766 monk and
2,117 oun in all, 7,322 religlou of both
exes.
"The number of births reached in
the fame y ar to 4,37", of which 1,215
were legitimate, and 3,163 Illegltima'e.
The illegitimates, therefore, being in
the proKrlion 75 25 er I'm of the total
bin h."
The i 1 leg ili mate In Protectant Lon
don are only four ht cent. You wiil
also find similar statistics by referring
to a papal source, namely, L'Amin li
Cmmi vlimaidirni I'mmhw, published at
Turin.
And from the saue source we find
that the average committal for mur
der per year are in P oteitant Pnulund
72, or 4 to every l,oco,uXi; In Catholic
Ireland, 110. or !'. to every l.HUO.UOO; in
Catholic Bavaria, 311, or 68 to every
l.oUI.IMMi; in Roman Catholic Sicily,
171. or W to every l,(Mi,iM. More than
four-fifth of the while men hanged in
America are papists. It distresses me
to give you all these facts, but you
pressed me to do It.
In 1M the Romanist (Herniation of
Ireland was less than 4 0o0,000 a de-
crcat-e of nearly two and a half millions
while tho uriests numbered 3,136 an
increase of 1, 207, with parochial scheols
in full blast. The number of nuns in
creased from 2,6(1!), in 101, to 5,222 In
188; the number of n.onks from 70, in
1861,- to 581 in 1S1; and yet, with a!
this multitude of 9,90!) priests, nuns and
monks living on tho xor Irish, the
country has men ful of trouble and
crime, and tho I Ash exiled.
I have stated the actual truth so
mildly that I fee! I ought to apologize
to my readers, and I promise you that
for every ftct and citation I have
brought I can cito from equally unim
(K achable sources ten times as many
more.
CONCERNING THE LIUUOR TRAFFIC.
Now, how about the liquor traffic? I
charged jour church with having a
monopoly of tho business.
Father Elliot, who is associated with
you in your work, In the ('ntlii)lk Wnrld
(September, lS(Hi) of which you are one
of the editors, made this honest confes
sion: "The horrible truth Is, that in
many cities, big and little, we have
something like a moiux ly of the busi
ness of selling liquor, and in not a few
something equivalent to a mouopoly of
getting drunk. I hate to acknowledge
it; yet from Catholic domiciles mis
called homes in those cities and t.iwns
three-fourths of the public paupers
creep annually to the almshouse, and
more than half the criminals snatched
way by police to prison are, by baptism
and training, members of our church
Can any one deny this, or can any deny
that the identity of nominal Catholics
ard pauperism existing in our chief
centres of population is owing to the
drunkenness ot Roman Catholics. For
tenty years the clergy of this parish
have had a hard and uneven fight to
keep saloons from tho very church
doors, because tho neighborhood of the
Roman Catholic church is a good stand
for the saloon business; and this is
equally so in nearly every oity in Amer
ica. Who has not burned with shame
to run the gauntlet of the saloons lining
the way to the Roman Catholic ceme
tery?" Yet this same Father Elliot, speaking
of his recent missionary tour among the
non-Catholics of the west, declared,
"America will be converted and make
a Catholic country," Perhaps it would
be in order to suggest that charity be
gins at home, and that tho priests con
vert their own people before they at
tempt to convert Protestants.
