main
under the control of papal power, just that long advancement and
greatness stand aloof from the portals of their country, so in the
past two years the government officials have removed tens of
thousands of the Pope's hirelings from authority and have closed up
hundreds of parochial schools.

Now, if Catholicism is such a glorious creed, why is it that France
is so anxious to get rid of her influence? Ah! France has learned by
coming in contact with Protestant countries that she need not expect
to ever become a great nation if she permits popery to control her
affairs.

Italy, the home of the Pope, has begun to wince under the Vatican's
rule, as her national back is getting raw by the saddle of this
diabolical creed. The inhabitants of Italy have been for the past few
years protesting against the high-handedness of Catholicism, and the
officials have begun to take notice of this vulture of humanity, and
my predictions are that within a very short time Italy will do as
France has done and close up the monasteries and convents, for just
as long as these institutions are allowed to keep open house, and
dictate to the inhabitants of Italy, just that long we may expect the
immigrants who come over from Italy to bear the Vatican's mark of
vice, immorality and criminality.

Go to Ellis Island and watch the immigrant ships from Catholic
nations as they vomit forth their load of human carrion upon the fair

as this class that hails from the nations of popery are a class, as a
whole, that will disgrace and ruin any nation on earth, as these
immigrants are men and women who have no conception of a free
country, as they are men and women who have never been taught to look
above the horizon of Catholicism; therefore they land upon the shores
of America as criminals and not as citizens, and you cannot make pure
American citizens out of them until you boil this hellish creed from
their system by the fire of patriotism, and this cannot be done as
long as this country permits Catholicism to run her mills of
degeneracy unmolested upon our shores.

All of our large cities are infested more or less with this
"scarlet-robed hag of hell," and more especially our eastern cities,
as this foreign herd of the Pope's followers land in eastern ports
and spread themselves out like a blanket, reeking with a moral stench
over the eastern borders of this country, and they make
