Eor years the Roman hierarchy has lieen conspiring against the govern ment of the United States. Read the following: When Mr. Morse, the immortal father of the electric telegraph, was ia Italy, he became acquainted with sev eral ecclesiatics of the Church of Rome, and he was led to believe, from what he learned from them, that a political conspiracy, under the cloak of religious mission, was formed against the United States. When he came to Paris and enjoyed the confi dence ami friendshi • of La Fayette, he stated his convictions to the general, who fully concurred with him in the reality of such a conspiracy. • *•••• The eloquent Spanish orator, Cas- telar, speaking of his own Church of Rome, said, in 18(19, "There is not a single progressive principle that has not been cursed by the Catholic church. This is true of England and Germany*, as well as all Catholic coun tries. The church cursed the French revolution, the Belgian constitution and the Italian Independence. Not a constitution has been born, not a step <>f progress made, not a solitary re form effected, which has not been un der the terrific anathemas of the church.” ****** Father Chiniquy said: “Long be fore I was ordained a priest, I know that my church was the most implaca ble enemy of this republic. My pro fessors of philosophy, history and the ology had been unanimous in telling me that the principles and laws of the Church of Rome were absolutely an tagonistic to the laws and principles which are the foundation-stones of the constitution of the United States.” ****** Abraham Lincoln said: “From the beginning of the civil war there has been, not a secret, but a public alli ance between the pope of Rome and Jeff Davis, and that alliance has fol lowed the common laws of this world’s affairs. The greater has led the small er, the stronger has guided the weak er. The pope and his Jesuits have ad viser!, supported and directed Jeff Da vis on the land, from the first gunshot at Fort Sumpter, by the rabid Roman Catholic, Beauregard. They are help ing him on the sea, by guiding and supporting the other rabid Roman Catholic pirate, Semmes, on the ocean. And they will help the rebel lion when tiring their last gun to shed the blood of the last soldier of liberty, who will fall in this fratricidal war. In my interview with Bishop Hughes, I told him, ‘that every stranger who had sworn allegiance to our govern ment by becoming a United States cit izen, as himself, was liable to be shot or hung as a perjured traitor, and an armed spy, as the sentence of the court-martial may direct. Anil he will he so shot and hanged accordingly, as there will be no exchange of such pris oners.’ After I had put this (lea in the ears of the Roman bishop, I requested him to go and report my words to the pope. Seeing the dangerous position of his bishops and priests when siding NO. 14. WITHHOLDING LABOR POWER.

It took him a rather long time to get away from the habit of following the politicians’ reasoning! ?) around corners, and reasons out for himself along a direct-action chalx-line what his master knew all the time, namely, that money accruing from profits is what gives the master power over his servants. The natural consequence of thia knowledge is his withdrawal of effici ency from the job. Who would turn a run against himself and pull off at the moral cry of the master? Only a fool. And this fact of the slaves’ unwilling ness to give his full efficiency anv longer to a master is the most encour aging proof of the intellectual awak ening of the industrial mass, not so much because it is done, but because it is done wilfully, consciously for ef fect. Educational efficiency is a prime so cial virtue, but when practiced with less intelligence and purpose than the bees do for feeding useless drones and busy parasites, it becomes in effect the supreme vice. Therefore the with drawal of efficiency from the work without losing any personal skill worth keeping, and even acquiring ad ditional skill, as taught by Syndical ism or revolutionary unionism all over the world, is in the eyes of the friends of liberty the most hopeful sign of our march toward a finer, a higher civilization. It is the promise of a new renaissance, more beautiful than that growing out of the revolutions sweep ing over Europe about the year 1200, to which we are indebted for almost all the basic principles of modern sci ence and teaching. Mr. Edison sees rightly, only he thinks wrongly, that tne slave knows not yet his status. He does. (By Fred Freyr.) Mr. Edinon, the inventor, is report ed saying in a comment upon the Ford Motor Company’s shrewd profit-shar- | ing scheme that “the day when the American workingman will wake up to give the highest possible degree of efficiency to his employer is about 5<X) years off.” Mr. Edison is what may be called an authority on the subject. He has been and is on employer of labor and cer tainly knows what he is speaking about. Nevertheless, he tells only part of the truth, but a fraction of it, that compares to the whole truth as 500 years compares to eternity, for just so far is the oay off when the American workingman, or any other working ly. This kind of business unexposed man, will become of so low an intelli leaves an atmosphere which leads our gence to give all that is in him to a young people to believe that lewd con master; duct is becoming ami therefore they Such a characteristic would simply engage themselves in enterprises of mean that slavery and parasitism had which they Would otherwise be ar ham U-come permanent institutions with <•<1.
