Let She Belgian Catholics Stay
Where They Are!
pOR the sake of keeping on the track of the
Roman Catholic hierarchy, I subscribe to
a number of Romanist papers and magazines,
not in my own name.
These plotters won’t exchange with The
Jeffersonian, nor will they enter my name on
their subscription lists.
Nevertheless, I get their dope sheets, and I
keep up with their game.
They are the men who put the Burnett Im
migration bill to sleep in the Senate, after
the House passed.it, last February.
It is a vast advantage to the Italian Church
to have Patrick Tumulty on guard at the
White House.
Through this oily Jesuit and Knight of
Columbus, the Romanist influence can always
be exerted directly upon the literary Profes
sor who, for a little while longer will be the
nominal President.
So, they killed the restricted immigration
measures whose purpose was, to protect our
working people from the incoming hordes of
European paupers, mostly from those Roman
Catholic countries where the priests, being in
full control, do not teach the children of the
poor to read and write.
The Roman Catholic church never estab
lishes schools for the common people, except
in Protestant countries where they hare to
compete for public favor.
Not only do the Cardinals, and the Roman
ist papers, and the Pope’s ambassador at
Washington bitterly oppose restricted immi
gration. but they colonize the new-comers,
into strictly Romanist groups.
The Italian Pope has an American Society
for that very purpose, with headquarters in
Chicago, and with branches in every section
of the West and South.
These are rigidly popish settlements.
NO PROTESTANTS ARE ALLOWED
TO LIVE IN THEM.
From Florida to Wisconsin, you will find
these foreign popish colonies.
They keep their foreign language in many
cases; and in all cases they keep their papist
schools, church, priest, and secret societies.
These Roman Catholic colonies are like so
many foreign states, in the midst of our non-
Catholic country.
They do not become a part of ourselves.
They do not mix and mingle. They do not
become assimilated with our people.
They are the Italian Pope’s separate and
independent little kingdoms, dotted, here and
there, over the broad expanse of the United
States.
They are an empire within the empire, a
foreign community governed from a foreign
land.
Their supreme ruler is bound by the Canon
Law of the Italian Papacy, and that law is
of deadly hostility to freedom of religion, of
speech, of press, and of political action.
The Italian Pope is an absolute monarch.
In the eyes of his God-eating children, this
old bachelor Italian potentate is Christ-on
earth, and he is Infallible.
Being an absolute monarch himself, who
appoints all his officers and who will not allow
his people to elect anybody, change any law,
or do anything but obey, it is logical that he
should favor absolute kings and emperors in
matters of State.
The .absolute Pope is the natural ally of
the despotic King.
Consequently, the rapid growth and in
creasing numbers of these Papal Colonies in
this Union are profoundly dangerous to our
liberties, our institutions, and our religion.
The latest movement to make a wholesale
addition to these hot l)eds of popish treason,
is the agitation for Belgian immigrants.
Cardinal Gibbons has sent out emissaries
THE JEFFERSONIAN
from Baltimore to talk up this latest papal
scheme.
They propose that the Romanist Belgians
shall be brought over in blocks of at least 50
families, so that they may have a priest, a
school, and a church, all to themselves.
They are not willing to let these Catholic
Belgians intermingle with us, and take the
risk of learning American ideas about foot
kissing, eating God. paying the priest to get
them out of hell. &c.
Cardinal Gibbons and the Pope’s Coloniza
tion Society aim to take advantage of our
sympathy for Belgium, to pull us for money
and for active co-operation in planting a few
more seed beds of treason in this country.
Let it alone!
Let the Belgians keep their wafer-gods at
home, and let them kiss the Pope’s foot on
the other side of the pond.
If the Central Railroad of Georgia wants
to help Bishop Keily and Cardinal Gibbons
work their Catholic Colony racket, let the
Central use its own ducats.
You and I would be the silliest of the silly,
if we gave our cash and our land, to this art
ful plot to increase papal power in these Uni
ted States.

What About That Cotton Money,
Mister McCord ?
A/HSTER 11. Y. McCORD is one of our
most principallist inhabitants.
Mister 11. Y. McCord stands high, both in
Church and State.
Mister 11. Y. McCord exemplifies, illus
trates, accentuates and punctuates our proud
Georgia motto of Wisdom, Justice and
Moderation.
Mister 11. Y. ’McCord stands almost as
loftily in the Methodist church as Brother
Asa G. Coca-Cola does —and Brother Asa,
you know, stands right next to our sweetly
amiable Bishop.
In affairs of State, Mister McCord also
bulks large, as my friend John Temple
Graves would say.
Mister McCord is heavily engaged in the
mercantile industry, in the banking sheep
shearing, and in the relief of the Cotton situa
tion.
Mister McCord varies his religious and
financial activities by managing Hoke Smith
politics, which, as everybody knows, are of
the most altruistic sort, never tainted with
beer, whiskey or money.
The enormous expenses of the Hoke Smith
campaigns, have been occasioned, not by the
cost of local papers and floating votes, but by
the dental bills incurred by Smith when he
has the tooth-ache. It is well known that his
teeth are very bad, and when they ache, they
pull him from Washington down to Atlanta.
This of course is expensive,' as well as pain
ful.
But as to 11. Y. McCord, the puzzle now
surrounding him reduces itself to this conun
drum— '
What have you done with it?
We know where you got it. But where
did it go?
You were the last one seen with it. You
were the last one that had it. Now, where
is it?
I mean of course the charity fund, made up
by Northern corporations for the relief of
the Southern farmers.
I mean the money that was paid in to the
Buy-a-Bale Committee, of which Committee
11. Y. McCord appointed himself chairman.
All over the North the cry was heard. “Buy
a Bale at 10 cents, and help the Southern
farmer.”
In every city, there was more or less of
this agitation. In Baltimore some $15,000
was paid in cash.
The daily papers printed the names of
those Northern concerns that were buying
cotton at 10 cents. D,ay by day we save those
names.
There were Automobile manufacturers,
Fertilizer Companies, Seed Companies, Har
vester Companies, Thread manufacturers and
so forth.
11. Y. McCord's committe toured the North
begging for the Southern farmer.
No farmer authorized them to do it. No
farmer wanted them to do it.
What the farmer wanted was a square deal,
justice, ilie same treatment that was being
lavished to bond-holders, bankers, manu
facturers. railroads, syndicates and Trusts.
We thought that a Democratic Adminis
tration which could give $35,000,000 to the
millionaires who own the Alaska gold mines
and coal fields, might at least lend the South
ern farmers the $200,000,000 which the Gov
ernment owes us on the illegal Cotton tax.
We thought that this Democratic Adminis
tration which created so many hundreds of
million dollars of new money, to lend to the
bankers, at 3 per cent, on their commercial
paper, might at least do as much for. the
farmer and his cotton.
We thought this Democratic Administra
tion which was doing so much for negro Re
publican politicians, because of a secret bar*
gain, might at least keep the platform pledge
made to white Democratic farmers whose
votes put the Democrats in power.
But we did not approve the city editors,
bankers, brokers, &c., who held up the Cot
ton grower as an object of pity, and begged
that a bale of his produce be bought at 10
cents, as a matter of charity.
The city capitalists did that on their own
hook.
And they got the money. \
Now, what went with it?
I have in vain called for the names of
farmers who were paid 10 cents a pound, by
11. Y. McCord's Atlanta Committee.
Did those patriots buy cotton at 6 cents,
and sell it themselves at 10 cents?
Did you do this, Mister 11. Y. McCord?

Popery Is Gaining Ground.
'T'HE press dispatches announce that the
1 Asquith Administration of Great Britain
has again knuckled to the Italian Church.
Sir Henry Howard has been appointed en
voy from England to the Papal Court.
This is the first time, in more than 300
years, that Protestant England has kissed the
Pope’s foot.
The American priests have begun to agi
tate in favor of our Government doing like
wise. and sending an ambassador to the Ital
ian Church.
Well, if we are to continue to receive the
Pope’s ambassador, and thus to invite popish
interference with our political affairs, we
might as well go the whole hog. and send, aS
well as receive, ambassadors from this foreign
church. _ ’ ■
The Greek Catholic church does not send,
or receive ambassadors, although there are
millions of Greek Catholics living in America,
and in the domains of Great Britain.
The Mohammedan Church docs not send or
receive ambassadors, although there are mil
lions of Mohammedans living under the flags
of Great Britain and the United States.
The same is true of the Buddhists, and Con
fusianists.
Why is it that the Roman Catholic Church
arrogates to itself the sole right to send and
receive ambassadors?
Any why do Protestant governments con
cede the arrogant claim?
