Ism cm a revolt against the papacy,

are: Justification by faith; the suprem

llne; the rUrtatof private judgment in
th tniornretalion of the Bible: the
plrituallty of the chuirh; freedom of
conscience tn tho worhlp of Almighty
God, and the eternal separation of
church and elate. In the maintenance

the "Faith once for all dollvored to the

therefore a sincere and emphatlo op
position to all form of falsehood, out
rage, persecution and tyranny In either
church or state. It 1 tho Inalienable
prerogative of every human being to
protest against wrong and Injustice
which relaxes publlo moral or menace
tho social well-being of the people.
This principle underlie all reaction
ary measures against superstition, Ig
norance, vassHlage and vioo. Protest
1 always preliminary to emancipation
and progress; agitation, education, co
operation, legislation and emancipation
are the watchwords of reform and vic
tory. The work of Protestantism must re
main Incomplete until the last veetljje
of dense Ignorance, hoary superstition,
uoscrlptural tradition, or social perils
flee away. The discovery and settle
ment of America meant radical changes
and throughgolng revolutions In the
condition of mankind. For centuries
the civilized world had been dominated
by two stupendous falsehoods the
monarchy and the papal hierarchy
both flagrant usurpation and fatal foes
to the peace and happiness of the race.
They were hugo vampires In politics
and religion. They were mutually cor
runt and corrupting. They were the
tyrants of church and state. Papal and
princely persecution drove Protestants
and dissenters to the American wilder
ness, and, when planted here, sought to
oppresi them by a policy of the most
outrageous cruelty and Injustice. It
was then that the spirit ol independ
enoe be ;an to stir in the thought of
the suffering people. They had been
trained in a mighty school or adversity;
helr leaders were men of learning
for it was In the universities and schools
-of the reformer that the genius of lib
erty and free thought aw ike to the eon
scloubiiess of it great responsibilities.
Convictions long broodid by individ
uals and communities began to crystal
llze, as In the resolutions of the Scotch
Presbyterians at Mecklenhurgh, North
Carolina; and in tho followlt g year, on
a day ever memorable, the Declaration
wa adptd, and American Protest
antism was born. Henceforth it was to
be American, not European.
That was the advent of a new force
and a new doctrine in the history of
civilization a force and a doctrine
never heard of !n tbe world before; and
while it was not perfect in its applica
tion, it subserved the cause of human
emancipation as nothing t he had ever
done since the exodus from Egypt.
Seven j ears ot blood and suffering aud
beroio valor sealed the mighty Instru
ment, and then a government was
framed the like of which had cever
appeared on earth. It was the first
grand protest against monarchy and
papacy, and an astonishing stage in the
progress of emancipation. It was to be
a government, as the immortal Lincoln
said, "of the people, for the peop'e, and
by the people." It was a government
in which there should be "a church
without a bishop and a atate without
king." The spirit of American Prot
estantism was embodied in these two
grand documents the Declaration and
the Constitution; and, while it was not
then universally applied, it gave free
scope to human thought, and made it
possible to advance the cause of eman
cipation a the logio of event should
dictate. The founders of the Republic
builded better than they knew. By
permanently separating the church
from the state by generous provision
for primary and popular education, by
abolishing every vestige of nobility in
rank and the claim of primogeniture
by investing the citizens with suffrage
under limitations then thought to be
adequate by establishing the right of
private judgment, free conscience, free
speech and the freedom of the press
they defiance to the despotism which
has bo long crushed down humanity
and opened the door of a future in this
land which not the most fertile imag
ination among them could fully con
alve.
In that great period there were but
comparatively few Humanist In evi
denceonly om papist signed the Deo-
Urstlcn. It tM thoroughly Protestant
in all It salient feature, and it wa
maintains d by the whole body of Amer
ican Protestants, who sought deltver
af ce from European oprrlon. The
persistent claim of the papal hierarchy
that their adherenU did so much in
founding the lie public 1 thus sen to
be without foundation, and It 1 a claim
so repugnant to the fundamental doc
trine o( the Itomlsh system that it i a
marvel that It should be set up at Jail
except for Jesuitical purpose.
From the very beginning of our na
tional history these great principle of
civil and religious liberty have been
pitilessly assaulted by the manifold
foe of freedom. No year ha been
wanting in the presence of traitor and
traducert who have sought to betray
or besmirch our jeweled independence.
All the constructive forces of our civi
lization originated in the Protestant
religion. This biblical faith ha been
the creative spirit in all the noble In
tltullon which are distinctively Amor-
lean. The principle of freedom and
fraternity were never bt rn of that ty
rannlcal and liberty -destroying Institu
tionthe papal hierarchy. It I lm
possible to conceive of American free
dom a the offspring of this cruel, op
pressive, ignorant, superstitious, pagan
and pestilential power. Its history in
our Republic confirm it record of
fifteen hundred year a the assassin of
liberty and the remorseless foe of man's
emancipation. Tbe battle has not yet
been fought to a finish. TLe irrepres
sible conflict between Protestant Chris
tianity and It foe 1 still on; more
over, slirns are not wanting tnat lead
us to believe that we have only experi
enced the first shock of a battle so co
lossal in significance, to Indescribable
in it import, as to mate it tbe verl
table Armageddon of human history
The Protestant religion in America Is
on trial for its very life; it is entering a
struggle with alienism and atheism, In
fidelity and indliTerentism, ignorance
and immorality, pauperism and prol
acy. paean Ism and papacy, In which It
will either go down in disaster and
Ignonilulous defeat or out of which it
will rise, with sublime and unconquer
able strength, to the rapid conquest of
the whole world. America 1 the battle-ground
of liberty, life and joy. Our
Republlo enshrine humanity' holiest
hope. Americans are to determine the
career and destiny of the Anglo-Saxon
race, which In time is to settle the
future of the world. The American
citizen stands to-day at the conflux of
eternities.
We are living, we are dwelling
In a grand and awful time;
Age on ages telling;
To be living is sublime.
Oh! let all the soul within you
For the truth's sake g abroad;
Let every nerve and sinew
Tell for truth tell for God.
IMMIGRATION.
Among the grave perils that threaten
the extinction of Protestant Christianity
In Amerloa Is immigration. Of the
millions who come to us from across
the sea. nearly "o per cent, refuse to
become thoroughly Americanized
This unasslmilated foreign element has
assurted such gigantic and alarming
proportions, especially In our great
cities, which are the storm and criminal
centers of our clvlllzttlon, that the cry
Is hoard from every quarter of our land
'Close Hell Gate on the east and
Golden Gate on the west!" For the
present we have enough of this alien
horde. Already our country has bean
too long the dumping-ground for the
offal of tbe old world. This aggrega
tion of evil characters constitutes a
menace to moral and a fearful foe to
faith. They corrupt our cities, de
bauch our politics, fill our jails, breed
every form or vice ana crime, assaun
dur schools, Insult our flag and defy
our laws. The time has come to quar
antine against forelgnism with Its fear
ful vices and false faith. In this alien
horde we find Jesuits, plotters, paupers,
exiles, ex-convicts, anarchists, nihilists,
socialists, communists, all of whom are
parasites, sucking the life-blood out of
our civilization and utterly ungrateful
for the privileges they enjoy. They
represent a lawless, defiant and un-
assimilated citizenship. They represont
every nationality and every shade of
relic-ion and irrelitflon. Nearly all of
thl undesirable, threatening popula
tion are identified with the Roman
Catholic church, which Dr. Brownson
himself declared was a "foreign colony
It is just because our cities are so
largely foreign that Romanism finds in
them its chief strength. No man can
deny that our cities have been Roman
ized, and they have given to the world
the most terrible object lesson of munic
ipal misrule that modern civilization
has ever witnessed. Dr. Dorchester is
authority for saying that 14 per cent.
of Irish discharged convicts come to
this country. We honor them as patrol
men, politicians and mayors. Twenty
five per cent, of New England's popula
tion is of foreign extraction, and furnish
75 per cent, of all the crime. This
foreign element fills our prisons, our
workhouses, almshouses and reforma
tories. The policy of European gov
ernments has been to ship their de
Dendent and criminal classes to
America. Many notorious offender
have bees give a immunity from arrest
on condition that they would migrate
to America. Tary have come, and
under the influence of a Jesuitical and
unscrupulous priesthood have located
In the great cities, where they have
created little Ireland, little Germany,
little Italy, little Spain and little
Hungary, In which they preserve
their race distinctions, language, wor
hip and custom. These district con
stitute a dead-line of intelligence, be
fore which our free institution will
fade away. The people in these foreign
district belong to the papacy. Within
the past fifty year the character of
Immigration ha radically changed.
Every yiar we receive more an J more
of the vicious and ignorant and less of
the desirable element. From 1880 to
1890, Immigration from England, Ger
many, Sweden, Denmark and .Scotland
fell off rapidly, but their number were
more than replaced by the far less de
sirable, which come from Italy, Hun
gary and Austria la thl closing
century, immigrants) have come to us
from every quarter of the globe, and
especially from the papal countries of
Europe, with no adequate idea of our
form of government, and no sympathy
batever with the spirit of our institu
tions, and they are threatening to over
whelm us. Thl form the opportunity
for the pope of Rome to dictate Ameri
can policy, ana to gain a complete
ascendancy in thl country. The civil
ruler of the nation tremble and look
on, hoping for the destruction of the
greatest free, popular government on
the face of the earth. All that was
said in the day of the revolution is far
more applicable and cogent at the
present time. John Adams, the second
president, depicted the situation In the
following terse and comprehensive
language:
"The most refined, sublime, extensive
and astonishing constitution of policy
that ever was conceived by the mind
of man was framed by the Romish
clergy for the aggrandizement of their
own order. This must be allowed to
be so when it is considered that they
even persuaded mankind to believe
faithfully and undoubtedly that God
Almighty had Intrusted them with the
key of heaven, whose gates tbey might
open and close at pleasure; with
power of dispensation over all the
rules and obligations of morality; with
authority to license all sorts of sins and
crimes; with a power of deposing
princes and absolving subjects from
allegiance; with a power of procuring
or wlthhotulng tne rain of heaven and
the beams of the sun; with the manage
ment of earthquakes, pestilence and
famine; nay, with the mysterious, aw
ful, incomprehensible power of creating
out of bread and wine the flesh and
blood of God Himself. All these opln
Ions they were able to spread and rivet
among the people, by reducing their
minds to a state of sordid Ignorance and
staring timidity, and by infusing into
them a religious horror of letters anot
knowledge. This was human nature
chained fast for ages in a cruel, shame
ful and deploring servitude to him and
his subordinate tyrants, who it was
foretold would exalt himself above all
that was called God, and that
worshiped."
It was against this latter class that
Thomas Jefferson warned us when he
said: "Tdey will infuse into our legis
lation their spirit, warp and bias and
render our civilization a heterogeneous
mass " Madison, with prophetic eye,
sa'd: "Foreign influence is truly
Grecian horse to the Republic; we can
not be too careful to exclude its en
trance." Van Buren said : "Foreigners
will render our elections a curse in
stead of a blessing." General Harrison
declared: "Americans must do their
own voting and tneir own ngnting."
Jefferson adopted as his own the senti
ment of Silas Dean, who wished that
there was an ocean of fire between this
country and the old world. Gouverneur
Morris affirmed, in 1778: "I do most
devoutly with that we had not a single
foreigner among us." Again he wrote:
"It does not accord with the policy of
this government to bestow offices, civil
or military, on foreigners, to the ex
clusion of our own citizens."
What a marvelous comment upon
this prophecy o! more than 100 years
ago, that every city of note in the
Union should be in the hands of an
alien and un-American race! That the
three and one-half millions of Roman
Catholic Irish should furnish from 60
to 80 per cent, of all the office-holders
of all the cities in this great Republic!
The real problem of American politics
Is, Shall we have Irish or American
rule which?
When the Chicago irishman was
launched on the sea of journalism,
February 11, 1894, it used the following
language, editorially, under the head
lng of "Our Greeting": "Let it be
known that Irish-Americans will not
submit to be taught, protected or
patronized by smart Alecks of an alien
race or creed. The Irish in America
have bought the right to religious and
political liberty. This right is theirs
by deeds of heroism on America's battle
fields, and by words and acts of states
manship in her halls of legislation.
The Irish race in America has fur
nished the ablest and foremost de
fenders of the United States Constitu
tion. The race is a superior one. A
u per lor raes should lead, not follow;
should dictate, not submit. We shall
demand home rule f-r An erica as wdi
a for Ireland." -
These utterance, in voicing the sen
timents of the Irish people, are very
ignlfioant to any oou who will give
them carvful study, and measure ttiem
with tbe well-known characteristic of
that race. Wbeo the claim 1 made
that they "furnish the ablest and fore
most defenders" of our Constitution.
naturally referring to those who, "by
deed of heroism on America' battle
field'" the mind Instantly turn to
that record of desertion in the army
during the civil war, which say that
72 per cent of this "superior race"
deaerkd at a time of the country's
greatest ne-ai. They may also hare
just pride in boasting of their able
statesmen, who, "tn the hall of legls
Ution" of the state of Illinois, nave by
tneir acta contrived to pas law by
wnlch the Roman hierarchy, wnotn
tbey for the moot part serve, is able to
own and control real eeUto aud per
sonal property to the value of upwards
of elgnty milium uoiiai in this siate
alone, without paying one cent of tax.
The important question for tuosd "of
an alien race and creed" t j decide is
Who pay or makes good this deficit in
our tax receipts? There aro thousands
in thl state who, Uougj unable, are
compelled to bear an unjust proportion
of thl burden to support an ecclesiasti
cal institution for wnich, down deep in
iheir hearts, tbey hold no sympathy
whatever, but rather a most pro
nounced ab bor re nee. This la unlair,
ana it l utterly inconsistent wttb our
boasted claims for civil and rellirlous
liberty. Proper laws should be enacted
to maae an persons wno bold any per
sonal properly ol rateable, value to
bear their share of the taxes, whether
priest or layman, without discrimina
tion.
Tho hour has come when America
should be preserved for andby Ameri
cans. No alien must arrogate to him
self greater rights and privileges than
native born citizens; loyal Americans
should govern this country, and all
alien and un-A mar leans must be sat
Isfled to take what we give, or make
quick-step time back to the country
from which they came. The spawn of
tyranny, they come to this land of
liberty to teach free mea their duty.
The narrow-brained products of ignor
ance and bigotry, they would constitute
themselves the guardians of American
tolerance and American enlighten
ment.
I acknowledge the debt which this
country owes to tbe foreign laborer;
thousands upon thousands of our for
eign-born citizens are useful and honor
able men, an acquis! nun to any country.
But I believe tnat I express the con
eervative opinion ol tnougbtiui men
everywhere when 1 say that we have
reached a period in our history wben
Immigration without limit is not ad
vantageous to the country nor to the
immigrant.
It is within the mark to say that
fully three quarters of our immigra
tion since the civil war has been drawn
from the lowest strata of European
society. Is it not time that we demand
protection against tnis mighty Euro
pean army that is moving upon us?
Tne more Intelligent citizens of foreign
birth see this danger more clearly
than the native-born Americans who
have a supreme indifference to the fate
of the Republic. We have permitted
the accumulation of explosive and in
flam liable material in our political
cellar, and we should not be surprised
If sjme day our house catches fire and
is burned over our heads.
Romanism is essentially a foreign in
stitution in spirit and purpose; indeed,
the only organization beneath the flag
that has persistently refused to be
Americanized. Hence the absurdity
to expjet that the papacy will ever
Americanize these vicious, criminal
classes that constitute an imminent
peril to our cities and to Protestant
Christianity.
INFIDELITY.
Another menace to Protestant Chris
tianity in our land is widespread infi
delitypractical skepticism concerning
the importance, truths and duties of
evangelical faith. The doubt of our
day Is not that unbelief which results
from acute and accurate thinking along
religious lines, but is rather the coarse
and vulgar infidelity of the market
place. It is the skepticism of ignor
ance, immorality and an evil . heart of
unbelief. It Is the infidelity of the
street and the shop, the store and tbe
factory, the railway train and the busy
mart, rather than scientific and philo
sophical distrust. It is the doubt of
the blatant mouth and the greedy
purse rather than the brain, It is sold
to the populace for $200 a night by cer
tain men who make sport of their
mothers' faith. Alas, that the low
browed un Deuel snouia be even more
lataitnan nonest aouoti it is more
difficult to answer and resist, just be
cause it is so coarse and so common. It
is a moral malaria rather than a mental
difficulty. It Is epicurean In type. Its
motto is: "Eat, drink and be merry
for to-morrow we die." It is universal
It is Doisy; it is secular and godless,
The saloon-keeper preaches it; the
debauchee enjoys it; the fashionable
club-man chooses it; the politician in
sinuates it; long-haired men and hort-
