influence to help Germany out of her diff
cult situation. The German Catholics re-
luctantiy obeyed the recommendation of
the pope to support Bismarck when he
was IN power, for they had an old account
to settle with Bismarck for his passage of
the church laws of 1873, which were fol-
lowed July, 1874, by an attempt to assassi-
nate Bismarck. In February, 1875, the
pope issued his encylical letter declaring
these church laws" invalid. Bismarck
rstorted by passing additional laws with
holding government pay from insuhor-
dinate priests and looking to the abolish
ing of religious orders. The Catholic
bishops refused to obey these laws; the
bishops were deposed, the clergy went I'M
paid, and more than LOCO pulpits became
vacant. But the German Clerical party
In the reichstag stood Tor nearly one fourth
OF that body and voted as a unit against
him. So Bismarck in order to carry i'm
portant government measures was obliged
to yield and in 1878 and in 1882 modified
these church laws in order to secure re-
presslve legislation against the socialists
These church laws" of 1873 and 1875
have never been repealed, and the Cleri-
Gals viii never be content until they are
rescinded. This same clerical war that
now vexes Germany vexed France until
Pope Leo declared for the republic, and
still vexes Italy, but in both France and
Italy the anti-clericals are in q clear ma
jority over the ultra-montane Catholics
If the pope chooses he can probably force
the German emperor to consent to the re-
peal of the anti-clerical laws of 1S73-75.
The Clericals are in a situation to worry
him by making the passage of the army
bill impossible without their vote.

who Is threatened with free wool can
not do better than to join with the West

If the Western Republican producer
cannot have the protective tariff, the next
best thing he can have is fair tariff for
revenue only. free goods to recoup his loss
on free materials. The worst thing the
Western Republican producer can have is
a sectional tariff. which hands him the
hot, .'free trade" end of the poker and
gives the Eastern manufacturers the cold,
