he city of St. Louis,
as Catholicism is a money machine and endeavors to keep her exchequer
full by preying upon the ignorance of her followers.

I have mentioned St. Louis only for the simple reason that it is a
recent happening, but there are a score of other cities in the United
States of America which are controlled by Catholicism on the same
principle, as Romanism joins hands with either the Republican or
Democratic party if she sees a chance to put her hellish schemes and
dogmas into practice.

That the reader may know what element controls the municipal
governments of our cities we desire to call attention to the fact
that over one-half of the officials of our large American cities are
direct representatives of Roman Catholicism, and over two-thirds of
all the policemen of these cities are the Pope's followers.

Why does this state of affairs exist? Ah, it is because the
Protestant voter has "politics" instead of "principles"; therefore
you yourself are to blame for this awful state of affairs.

Yes, I say that you are to blame, for you are a voter and you pretend
to represent Protestantism but still will permit yourself to be made

declaring that you are to blame for this state of affairs that exists
in our large cities?

In our municipal elections you will find Roman Catholicism courting
the political power which has the greatest chance of electing their
candidates; it matters not what party it may be, as Roman Catholicism
has no politics, as her only desire is power, and it does not matter
from what source she receives it, so long as it is granted her, as
Romanism is like a chameleon, as she will change her political color
to suit her surroundings if she is assured that she will be permitted
to inject her deadly virus into the veins of Protestantism.

If Roman Catholicism can extract a promise from a Republican
candidate they are Republicans; but, on the other hand, if they can
make a Democrat do their bidding, they are Democrats; and if they
can "wiggle" into the Populists' favor, they are Populists; in fact,
they are any and everything that will serve their purpose and help to
bind and throttle Protestant principles.

The nation of France is making history to-day, and each line and page
of this history is a warning to Protestant America, as every page of
this history is covered with the slime of Roman Catholicism, for had
