ROME'S RIPENING CONSPIRACY.
Every Step of American I’rogre»» 1»
Held Back.
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

It took him a rather long time to

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

(By Fred Freyr.)
Mr. Edinon, the inventor, is report

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)

Mr. Edison is what may be called an
authority on the subject. He has been
