Germany and Switzerland sup.
ply over 10000, and Of these there
is probably one-half Roman Catho.
lies, but not to over-estimate, LET us
say one-third are Romanists, which
gives 81, 1888 of undoubted Catholics.
Then Canada has certainly supplied
over q, 600 Irishand French Catho.
lies, and Mexico probably shout 5000
This gives Us total roman Catholic
immigration to the United States
for the fiscal year Of IsSs Of 81, 900.
The grand aggrt gate OF Immigration
from all the countries Of the world
for the fiscal year Of 1859 is Al, AZ.
Hence we find that very nearly
half Of that immigration is unques-
tionably Roman Catholic. The
grand total Of immigration to the
United States from 1875 tolS7g in
elusive is &, $50, 900, half OF which
is PROFESSIONALLY Roman Catholic,
so that the ektiriate furnished by
Cardinal Gibbons Of his followers
90, ,00O) is not at all over-estim-
ated; on the contrary, il is far under
the real figures, when the prolific
powers OF that church are consid-
cred.
It may be said that Ireland sup
plies many Protestants which, are
included in the above; but Ehglanti
supplied an immigration Of IS, 900
for last half year, and we know that
large percentage Of that is Catho-
lie, entirely Irish of course. There
are large colonies of Irish in the
English cities, and the second gen.
eration Of the Irish there emigrate
to America. Any way thematter Is
handled 1t will lie found that half
the immigration 10 the United
States Is Roman Catholic.
Compare your 1865 Mormons with
your Do, 600 Romanists for 1889 and
try TO suppress a smile if you can at
Governor Thomas dreadful appre-
tensions that these few terrible Nor
mons will eat up the poor, innocent,
guileless, sinless followers Of Leo
NH. There is about one Mormon
to every 200 Romans, and when we
add 200 Of other sects, we find that
this one Mormon willget away with
100 poor, honest Europeans unless
Congress stops Mormon immigra-
ton. Of course l can't help COM
intending the philanthropy Of Gov
ernOr Thomas for taking such inter-
est in Leo XIII, and also in helping
to protect Hungarians, Bohemians
and Gamma Gaels. 1 hope it is not
treason to wish the governor a long
and happy life for his Christian
efforts.
The governor says the bulk ofthe !
Mormon immigration comes from |
England and Scandinavia. This is I
no laughing matter, and il is one
worthy Of the formidable State
document which the governor
furnishes. Why not the Secretary 1
of the Interior be warned in time l
of what Is coming? 1868 corrupt,
demOralized, savage Englishmen .
and Swedes are going 70 destroy
2l2,0 200 Huns, Nsndais and Clan-na-
Qaeis. Poor innocent babes,
Let US glance at religion in gen
eral in this country, and moralize
moment.
In examining the religions Of the
United States We find 5 kinds of
Adventists, Is kinds of Baptists, 3
kinds Of Quakers, 5 kinds OF Luth-
Grams, II kinds Of Methodists, ~
kind. OF Mennonites, kinds OF
Presbyterians, 4kinds Of Episcopal
ians, then there are the Christian
Union, the Congregational, German
Evangelical, Moravian, Universal.
lst Unitarian, New Jerusalem.
Greek and Roman. There are
over 70 denominations of
Christians in the United
states. or these we find 10000. 900
Romans, 1900, 600 Baptists, 4, 500, 900
Methodists, l,ls0,0O0 PIesbyterians,
and all these Mormonism is suppos-
81 to wipe out before breakfast, while
he Congregationalists, Unitariaps
md Lutherans will come In for
unch, and all the others VIII make
snug tea at 5 O'Clock. 4
1t is really alarming to contem-
llate what horrors are ahead Of us. !
lust fancy, 1000 Mormons are ,
,oing TO swallow up the seventy or
more religions Of the United States ,
With their 20, 0O0, 900 Of followers.
When the governor wrote that
eport he must have eaten a terrible ,
eed Of pork and beans a few mo-
nents before. Although the gov Z
rnor should not care for the Puri- ,
an delicacy, seeing that he Is a 4
