For fifteen centuries the Jews have
been cursed by the Pope, and persecu-
ted by the Roman Church. There is no
more revolving CHAPTER Of horrors in
history than that of the treatment Of
the Jews at the hands OF the Pontifls.

ed few privileges, denied all rights,
looked upon as pesPle cursed Of God,
and set apart by -afie4Ae ordination to be
trampled upon by ihe Church. In
Rome, ut. the present day, the Jews are
confined to the Ghetto; they are not al
lowed to set up shop in any other
part Of the city; they cannot leave the
city without permit can engage only
in certain trades; thet are compelled to
pay enormous taxes ino the papal treas
urY; they are subject to stringent
code of laws established by the Pope
for their special government; they are
imprisoned and fined for the most rriy-
ial offences. They cannot own any real
estate in the city; cannot build or tear
down or remodel my dwelling or
change their place ofbusiness, without
papal permission. They are in abjecb
slavery, with no right whatever, none,
except upon the graeDus condescension
Of the Pope. In former times they were
numerically whipped and compelle1 to

trine of the priests. But time is bring
