Behold the story of Anglo-Saxon civ
iltzation in Ireland! 1t is the deliberate
murder of an ancient people, people
whose missionaries brought the bless
ings of Christianity, civilization and
knowledge to Frank and German, Us
we'll as to the ungrateful Anglo-Saxon.
If God does not prevent the total de-
struction Of the Irish people, Anglo
Saxon civilization will accomplish it as
remorselessly as the anaconda crushes
and dcvours its victim. What has An
glo-Saxon civilization accomplished for
the Scottish Highlander? Go ask the
wide tracts of deer forests, and you can
hear it in the soughing of the wind.
What is Anglo-SaXon civilization do
ing for the black man of Africa, the
Arab, the Negro and the Zulu? Order
ing Its soldiers to leave no wounded
black alive, wantonly slaughtering for
amusement the naked blacks Of Mash
onaland, and using bullets so murderous
IN effect, that the conscience of the
civilized world revolts at the use Of
them.
What Of China? An English army and
navy was sent to China, and forced the
chinese government to allow their pco-
pie to purchase, without penalty, from
the English Indian government body
and soul destroying poison, opium
which is fast running the Chinese.
What of India? The Anglo -saxons
are In sore distress because the Ma
hometan is not now cutting the throat
OF his Hindoo neighbor. They are in
great fear, because In spite of plaques
caused by their deliberate and purposed
neglect of sanitary precaution, and in
spite OF famines created by economic
laws, as in Ireland, the Hindoos are in
| creasing in numbers. Increase and null
| tiply and replenish tie earth," said the
Lord God; but the Anslo-Saxon, like a
1alse God, or demon of inlquity says
NO, this people must decrease until
they disappear from the earth, and their
land shall be NINE" That is Anglo-sax
on civilization, an exterminating blight
| upon every race that comes within the
grasp of its octopuslike arms.
And here in America, to our shame If
not to our future punishment, have We
not too closely followed the laws of An
glo-Saxon civilization? Has not Anglo
Saxon civilization almost exterminated
the aboriginal races of North America
where the Latin Influences have not pre-
vailed. Under French rule subiugated
races have thrived, have ever learned
to love their conquerors. Two hundred
years ago the Alsatians were Germans.
: They fell under French control and
though reconquered by Germany, their
hearts and their intense loyalty 20 out

civilization Ireland lost as much popu-
lation as the Philippines gained under
the alleged blighting rule of Spain. The
aboriginal races Of Mexico and Central
and South America have increased and
multiplied. and slowly perhaps but
surely, are advancing to a higher ciyI]i-
zation. At all events they are alive, and
SO far satisfied. The Anglo Saxon civ
ilizes every aboriginal race he comes
IN contact with-off the face of the
earth. The Latin civilization, If it does
not make the aboriginal races equal to
the Anglo-Saxon idea of the English
civilization, at least permits them to live
and reach the destiny the Almighty has
Willed for all men, civilized and unciy-
ilized. A power such as that of the
British empire, and operated from the
same motives, and producing the same
results, is the enemy of God and man.
