Not since the etabllhment of The American have we appealed publicly to the friends of the American move ment and particularly to the friends Of this paper, for their financial suprort, but today we make an earnest appeal to all true, loyal and patriotic Americans for Immediate financial assistance with which to keep The American alive. We believe we are doing God's work and in His name we come to you asking your assistance. It Is humiliating to have to publish broadcast that we are to beset by our creditors that we must have your assistance at once or be com pelled to go Into court to prevent the destruction of the most outspoken and fearless paper west of New York. We have thousands of dollars outstanding which we are unable to collect, yet our oredllort are Insisting on our psylng them what we owe There is, there fore, friends and brothers, no alterna tive; we must have your help or tpend time in law courts which should be put into the work we are engaged In.

By excessive labor in crowded churches in the beat of the summer of IS. 3, I was stricken down with bilious typhoid pneumonia, and physicians suppoted that I was at death's door. I resumed work too soon, and have since relapsed sixteen timet, and lost about four years from active work except through my books In the midst of this protracted a miction, my aged, faithful and beloved wife wat called away to rett. I have resigned pastoral work, but when able, preach and lec ture, and publish at discretion. I am yet feeble, but hope toon to retume work. I wish to close life's labors in special defense of the Protestant re ligion and our free American Institu tions against the insidious and persis tent assaults of Popish priestcraft. Sustained by a large, telect library of books and document on this sub j -act, I discuss Romanism in all its phases and relatione to our American Institutions, and to Itt pernlcloui influence on the dettiny of Immortal souls. Romanism is without doubt the blighting curse of nations, toe chiei "anti-chrlst" of the world, "the man of tin," "the ton of perdition," "the mys tery of iniquity," "the mother of har lots," "drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the mar tyrs of Jesus." The intolerant spirit of popery has caused the death of not less than sixty- eight millions, a number nearly equal the tame) in the church of Rome, froai the poie to tne peatant. The presnt war with Spitn may re tard or thwart the contemplated na tional revolution In the United States. The pope and the Jesuits were only altlog an opportunity to exhibit their deiputc powers. Thev have been manipulating partis ans, lobbying legislation, subsidizing or Intimidating the press, boycotting bus iness, opposing unsectarlan national education, monopolizing municipal and judicial authority, instigating strife between labor and capital, and endeav oring thereby to plunge this country Into a civil war and a national revolu tion. And to consummate their fiend ish work they have under the direct control of the Roman clergy of the United States thousands of their igno rant dupes organized and armed, and thousands more crowding into the state militia, army and navy where they may not be trusted.
