Archbishop Maiming, in 'Pssnys on Hligii n anil Literatur." p. 4 Hi, lNi7ay: "More over the right of de)ioslrg Kines is in herent in the supreme sovereignty which popes as v ice-gc rents uf Christ exercise over all christian o ition-." U. Art. VI, S c. 2, of the constitu tion, reads: ' This constitution ar,d the laws of the United S atis which shall be mude in pursuance then of shall oe the supreme law of the land." The pupal canon law decrees that those who refuse to obey any ' coin mands of the court of Home, if eeciesius tics are ipso facto deprived of their orders and otlices, and if laymen are excomm-uieated." See also bull Vimut Suiicttcn of Boniface VIII, acknow ledged as an "Article of Faith" by Car dinal Manning, in which it is declared that in order to salvation. "Every hu man creature should be subject to the Human pontiff." Bishop Gilmour, in his Lcnton letter, March, 1873, said: "Nationalities must be sulordinate to religion. We must learn that we are Catholics first and citizens next." December 8, 104, Pius IX said: "It is an error to hold that, in the case of conflicting laws between the two pow ers, the civil law ought to prevail.'' Leo XIII, in an encyclical, January 10, IS'JO, says: "It 1 wrong to break the law of Jesus Christ (the law of the pope meaning) in order to obey the magistrate, or under pretence of civil rights to transgress the laws of the church." (The Roman Catholic church meaning.) Again he says on page 4 of same en cyclical: "But if the laws of the state are openly at variance with the laws of God, if they inflict injury upon the church (the papal church meaning) or set at naught the authority of Jesus Christ, which is vested in the supreme pontiff, (what a villainous claim) then indeed it becomes a duty to resist them, a sin to render obedience." 3. American citizens, here is a dis tinct issue relative to the highest al legiance of Roman Catholics. Whether tuat allegiance is due, first to the pope and second to the state, or rice versa is there any question in your minds? Is not the fruits of papal teaching un American? Is it not despotism, pure and simple? Has not the purpose of the papal hierarchy been the entire subjugation of secular government? Americans! By virtue of that al legiance which you first owe to your country, its constitution and its laws, rise up and destroy the power of Rome in politics. PAPACY ILLITERACY CRIME. The United States commissioner of education gives as a result of his study relative to "crime and social morals" the following: "In New York and Pennsylvania, in 1870, the illiterates furnished twelve times as many criminals as the non illiterate, in the central west thirteen times as many and in the far west and Pacific section the illiterates furnished ten times as many as the non-illiterates." In FYance, statistics show that among illiterates there is an average of one arrest for each forty-one persons, and but one arrest for !,2!'l persons who could read In Switzerland eighty three per cent of the criminals were found unable to read. In cities burdened with a large foreign-born Roman Catholic population it has been found that our jails, peni tentiaries, asylums and reformatories are crowded to overflowing. Again, if the education which the papal hierarchy sends out among its followers by means of the parochial school tends to lessen crime and make the civilization better, how is it that such a wide difference exists between the ratio of illiteracy in Protestant and Roman Catholic countries? .ZJ L.' The United States bureau of educa tion gives the following figures, which make it plain that the state should have supervision over all schools: ROMAN CATHOLIC. Rutio of Illiteracy. Austria (proper!. 1SS7-H 3 Per Cent. Hungary. 1SS7-H 42 " Italy. h,s7-S t " Portugal, 1S8S " Spain. lssl B " Ireland, tsss 21 RcIkIuiu. 1S.H7 15 PROTESTANT.

ISS7 Switzerland. 1Ss7,. . . less than 1 2' Italy until the year 1370 was under the direct control of the papacy. Since the year 1870, and from the advent of Victor Emmanual, she has built up a good system of state education. Por, notwithstanding there was in thatcoun try in 1S7-S, 4H per cent, of illiteracy, in 18G4 there was S.'f per cent, of the people wholly illiterate, showing the rcult of state education under the reign u' anti papa! ic deuce. And ail the time this advancement - goin; on the p pi" was cuiug i which is al ways preferable to his blessing) the Ila'ian government and i'.s followers. andca! ing .hero "W'olv. s," 'Impious, 'O'iid'vn of Sitan." ' Krvmies of lijj." "Monsters of Hell." Papal Rome. unJer the reign of Pius IX, showed U S Hit ultimate to loole gitimite births: while London, Eng land, showed Oil!)' 4 to l'H. Koine's murders were one for every 7."i' inhabi tants, while in PioUs'ant England there was one for every 17. Wm. I'KIML. Tbv larger proporlion of criminals, both in America and England, are drawn from the members of the Roman Catln lie communion. Ir. l-3, in the stale prison of Massa chusetts there were boo prisoners: HI 2 were Irish. The same state had in all her prisons, the same year, 3,420 in mates, 1,377 of whom had one or both parents born in Ireland. Nineteen per cent, of the people In Massachusetts who coulJ not read or write were Canadian French, all educated by the Roman Catholic church; fifty live per cent, were Irish with similar training. Two and eight one-huudredths of the state were born of native pirent. Not only is this the case in the United States, but similar results are shown In Europe, Canada and Australia, wher ever statistics are obtainable. WHY IS IT? The question has been iisked repeat edly, why papists so greatly preponder ate in all our public reformatory and p'.'nal institutiots in every state? We answer, first of all, Because the educa tion of the Roman Catholic church is fatally defective. The legislature of the state of New York has been asked to pass the "Frea dom of Worship Bill," in order that papist priests might have access to its penal institutions to say "Mass"' to the convicts of their faith. If their sp' rit ual (?) teaching is and has been so wholesome, why should such legislation be necessary? If the stile finds it neces sary to punish so large a proportion of that "faith-' by imprisonment and otherwise is it not wiser for the state to take sole charge of the reformation of criminals and exclude entirely these priestly advisers () whose influence within the prison can be fairly meas ured by their Influence without? But we propose to advance another reason, which seems to us the best of all why Ignorance and crime are so prevalent among the unfortunate fol lowers of the papal hierarchy. It is the confessional. The confessional is the deadly pois onous fruit of the papal Upas tree. It has ever been and will continue to be, so long as it exists a part and parcel of any religious system, the world's great est delusion and snare. Why? Because it robs every man, woman and child who comes under its influences, of their entire individuality and make them slaves to a doctrine and system of so called religious government as false as hell itself. It began a my.h and it has continued a myth from its precarious and wicked conception to the present hour. It goes to t he child in the cradle and fetters its soul with a dread and fear that lasts it to the grave. It stifles the conscience of the youth of our land, puts a premium upon vice and crime in the morning of manhood, by the sale of its monstrous indulgences, and in old are when the final dissolution comes, it attempts, in flattering accents, to soothe the dull cold ear of death with the stu pendous claim that its will is a pass port for the soul to everlasting peace and joy. In America we claim that every American citizen's opinion should be unshackled. The public weal depends upon the strongest and freest mind. The stronger the mind, tne greater the results, and so it has been throughout the history of the ages. But an inde pendent thinkercannot exist within the dark shadow of the confessional. Who, that is living, or has been born under such an absolute despotism can swear and maintain an allegiance to an independent republican form of govern ment? Who can sit as an executive, or legislator, or judge and at the same time be a devout Roman Catholic, with out fearing that at any moment the de crees of his church, will make him choose between the obedience to his re ligious faith and the supjiort of the government over which he is called to presh.e? If he obeys he may be num bered among the saints and be canon ized. If he refuses, he is anathema tized. And finally the papal conles sional is at war with the independence of all temporal government, with the independence of every citizen who has the courage to think for himself in matters of state and with the freedom of thought, in all the various walks or life. How can we remedy this worst of all evils with which the world is and has been so long alliicted? Where can the medicine be found which will cure this leprosy of the ages? Who is the Moses who will rise up in this land of ours and lead the benighted children of this hor rible creed out of the wilderness of ig norance and superstition? God grant that he may be living today. The hosts that he will be called upon to lead are ready to move, THK KIHVATIOS OP THE MASS.KS. The education of the nica U de manded and our government must take some means to stivngthea our public seho.il system and give it a rational character. The darkness f ignorance aud superstition will lUv away In-fore the electric light of educated minds, and hence it Is that we have long since ceased to wonder why the Romish church claims the right to absolutely control the education of the young. For, sie:iking through Pius IX, she said, "Education ou Wide of the control of the Hunan Catholic church is a damnable heresy. ' We believe that it is the purpose and has been the purpose of the Roman Catholic hierarchy to detroy the public school system of the Piiltee States. II w is it proH)sod to be done? The public school system is to be wrecked by the scheme of Ko maniz You will remember what Mr. Satoiil, the American pope, pro Hsed. It wa-t that Roman Catholic children should attend the public schools, during the usual school hours, and receive religious instruction after those hours, either in the public school buildings or in the churches. Our easily duped people thought that this was a happy solutiou of the question. But, by this proposition did Rome ac knowledge the right of the slate tocd ucate? Not at all. Rome sought to u.e the public schools for Rome and against the American people. In order to Romat.i.i! the public schools It is neocsr-ary to place teachers in them that are Roman Catholics, and by so doing displace the teachers that are Protestants. Tiiis has been done at T"oy, N. Y., and in oilier towns and cities iu the United States. Well, when the public schools are Romanized, what will be the result? Why the Pro tes'ants will be out and the papists will be in. Americans, study this subject well. Avert the evil while yet there is an opportunity or sooner or later this most ttlicient guurdian of our liberties, the public school, will be in the hands of Rome. When this is done the pope will announce a curriculum of Btudy ac cording to his notion of things and the history of the middle ages will repeat itself in America. If there remains In any mind the slightest doubt as to the hostility ol the papal hierarchy toward our public school system, that doubt could be easily removed by reading "The Judges of Faith vs. Godless Schools," written by a Roman Catholic priest and "Ad dressed to Catholic Parents." It bears the endorsement of Cardinals Gibbons and Newman. The prefatory note of the book states the following: "The concillar or single rulings of no less tfean three hundred and eighty of the high and highest church dignitaries. There are brought forward twenty-one plenary and provincial councils, six or seven diocesan synods, two Roman pon tiffs, two sacred congregations of some twenty cardinals and pontifical officials, seven single cardinals who, with thirty three archbishops, make forty primates and metropolitans; finally, nearly eighty siugle bishops and archbishops, de ceased or living in the United States." All this mass of authority is against our public schools, and the hatred of these ecclesiastics tjward this cher ished institution is shown by such epithets and appellations as the follow ing: "Mischievous," "baaeful to so ciety," "a social plague," "godless,"' "pestilential," "scandalous," "filthy," "vicious," "diabolical," places of ' en restrained immorality," where things are done the reoltal of which would "curdle the blood in your veins." THE PAPACY AN AHSOLUTE DEPOT ISM. There is manifestly no question that there is an irreconcilable difference between papal principles and the funda mental principles which underlie our free institutions. Popular government is self-government. If tne individuals who compose a nation are capable of self-government, thjn the nation can be truly regarded as capable of self government. But no nation can be capable of self-government where the individuals that compose it are willing to place their conscience in the keeping of another and disavow all personal re sponsibility. The Rev. Dr. Strong, general secretary of the Evangelical Alliance for the United States, clearly arrives at the truth when he says: "It is the theory of absolutism in the state, that the man exists for the state. It is the theory of absolutism in the church that the man exists for the church. But in Republican and Protestant America it is b-'lieved that church and st;.te exist for the people and are to bj ad ministered by them. Our fundamental ideas of society, therefore, are as radi cally opposed to Vaticanism as to im perialism, and it is as inconsistent with our liberties for Americans to yh-ld allegiance to the, pope as to the czar." Professor do Lavelaye, in his work entitled "Protestantism and Cathol icism in their bearing uon the liberty and prosperity of nations," page 32 and 33 says: "Today we can prove by demonstration, that which men of in tellect in the eighteenth century were only beginning to perceive. The de cisive influence which forms of worship bring to bear on political life and polit ical economy had not hitherto been ap parent. Now it breaks forth in th ? light, and is more and moro closely seen in contemporary events." Repre sentative government is the natural government of Protestant population.' IVsMlk government 1 the contfculal government of Catholic x Nation. Another of our principles which should k' carefully guarcVd as any, s freedom of sp-ech and of the prei-. Tins ri'ht i guarantee d U u by the first amendment to the constitution: "Coiigros shall make no law abridging the freedom of (-pewit or uf the press." Hut notwithstanding this constitutional guarantee to the Nople of the United States, the Rinnan Cath olic church lias attempted and has largely succeedinl in subsidizing or destroying this great prerogative. Ie XIII. in a letter June 17th, 1,",, said: "Such a duty (obedience), while lu cumlH'iit uHin all without exception, is most strictly no on journalists, who, If they were not animated with the spirit of docility and submission su necessary to every Catholic, would help to extend and greatly aggravate the evils we de plore." A writer in the Cuthnlie H'oWJ, July 1", 170, in an article entitled "The Catholics of the Nineteenth Century," sIioas us what would Income of free sieech and the freedom of the press in the event of Roman ascendancy In the United States. He says: "The suprem acy asserted for the church In matters of education implies the additional and cognate function of the censorship of Ideas and the right to examine and ap prove or disapprove all books, publica tions, writing aud utterances intended for public Instruction, enlightenment or entertainment, and the supervision of places of amusement. This Is the principle uioi, which the church has acted in handing over tj the civil au thorities for punishment criminals in the world of Ideas, Piiia.iy, to sum up the evils of the papacy supported by what wo have attempted to present In our humble way, we cannot do better than to use the order in which they appear to Dr. Strong, who says: 1. "The supreme sovereignty of the pope is opposed to the sovereignty of the p oplo." 2. "The commands of the pope, in stead of the Constitution and laws of the land, demands the highest allegi ance of Roman Catholics in the United States." 3. "The alien Romanist who seeks citizenship among us, swears true obedi ence to the pope, Instead of renouncing forever all allegiance to any foreign prince, potentate, state or sovereignty, as required by our laws." 4. "The papacy teaches religious in tolerance instead of religious liberty." 5. "The papacy approves the union of church and state instead of their en tire separation." 0. "The papacy is opposed to our public schools." 7. The papacy demands the censor ship of ideas and the press, instead of freedom of seech and the press." CONCLUSION. In conclusion, let me warn the Ameri can people that the time has come and now is, when we should wake up to the sacred duty we owe our country and banish from among us every influence foreign to our govern nent and its cher ished institutions: say to Jesuits, you must go ! You are a curse to any coun try that you ever inhabited a social cancer upon the body politic that can never be cured and which ought to be quirantlned on some lone isle of the sea, and so far from the path of civili zation that you will forever cense to infect the human race. Say to the American pope at Washington, Mr. Satolli, the Constitution of the Uniud States forbids the raising of a throne with plenary powers on these shores. You must cease from arrogating to yourself the powers of a foreign poten tate among us, and if it U your inten tion to reside in this couutry, you must take off that triple crown, learn our language, take the oath of allegiance to this government, renouncing every foreign prince, potentate and sover eignty (not with a mental reservation, remember), and become an American citizen with the rest of us. Yes, an American citizen, the best and highest title in the world then, and not till then, will you begin to be. If you do not choose to do this, you have no legi timate business here and the sooner you go back from whence you came the better, and the more you will oblige and please about fifty-seven millions of our people. Siy to the venerable gen tleman in prison on the Tibar,Mr. Peccl: When you are about to issue another one of those imaginary temporal pro clamations of yours, which you term AN encyclical, before you promulgate it in this country, we would like to have you send a copy to our Secretary of State, in order that he may consult the Attorney General as to the legal propriety of its publication. We give you this advice because some of the encyclical utterances of yourself and your predecessors read to us so very m;i..h like treason that the micro scope has not been invented with which we can see the difference. Treason, you are aware, is the highest crime know n to our law. Say to Mr. Gibbons that the United State's Senate and National Halls of Congress is not the place to apiear in a red hat. If you desire to visit those bodies you must do so in citizen's clothes. We cannot regard you as be longing to the diplomatic corps of nations, although your IntentioD miv SNAPS . .

We admit that the theology of Peter Dens is haidly the thing for parlor reading, or for children's eyes to gaze upon, nevertheless It Is: the accre dited authority upon which the whole superstructure of the papacy rests. And lastly, let us make up a valiant roll of tried and true Americans not scheming politicians not men who are seeking political preferment, but men worthy to be CALLED to the highest positions, who, with tha constitution as their guide, and one Hag as their en sign, will preside over the high desti nies of the natiou in the stormiest crisis, and to them, and them alone, will we give our grteful suffrages.
