even their toreiathers were, and that is
saying very much, as your Wanted history
tells how they exceIled in all professions,
excepting painters and sculptors. They
were particularly proficient in medicine
and music
NO nation that has ever harbored the
Jews has prospered," you say in your
article. My friend, what q mistake. No
nation has ever prospered until its people.
enjoyed full religious liberty.
You speak of the lion hearted King
Richard. In all justice and from a Yankee
view Of tAc matter, thin!, il woula have
paid the lion hearted gentleman Just as
well to have remained at home, and faith
fully discharged the duties entrusted to
him by Got, guarding the interests Of his
pe"ple, ANA nor have them az the very
mercy Of his prolligate brother, the Prince
john, while he fought unoffending
Sardcens.
II you viii read the history of those
times Il trjll' more carefully you will find
that the jews we're not the zeal Cypress 1rs;
tHc tr1iligate Spcndthrif when funds ran
low, knew no other method Of replenishng
than FROM the jews; it WAS very well when

he was usnrsr, Jew dog, an unbaptized
dog no insult too great for my lord to heap
upon him. 1.-The Jews rob nation Of ;ts
prosperity" What nonsense. How can
European nations prosper while supporting
their army of roya! parsonage in magnif-
cent idleness?
10 return to King Richard, nations
wealth lies in the prosperity and general
well being of its toilers. In those days,
friend, my lords share of both the toll OF
the peasant and his crops, then the title of
the church, before one straw left the field;
if the crops failed or my lord 8 hunters had
trampled it into the EARTH the man must

either castle or convent. And one thing
more, can you cite many instances OF Jews
outraSing innocent women's honor; they
have always been held sacred and is not
the history you perused Scared with the
tales OF how my lord preyed upon his fair
tenants, and if honor were stronger than
fear, she found herself in an underground
dungeon. VINO were the oppressors?
When King K chard, Ferdinand and
Isabella, and the Car repIenished their
Golfers by plunderins the Jews, it was
simply might making right.
We are not the worse for Jews coming to
this county. | grant many are extremely
degraded. Why not The poorest and
most oppressed OF every nation under the
sun, literally picked out Of wherever they
have made their homes. Clannisn, OF COURSE,
they have through ages been seOlisd sad
scorred by Christians, what love do they
owe to Christian people?
Look at the case in France to-day, is il
not the most barbarous OF tie genersti0n?
Is not all evidence that might restore the
honor OF an innocent man carefully sup
pressed because it would surely iDjule the
one who is not Jew, the one | firmly
believe covered some crime OF his own by
accusing one other who either stood in his
way or knew too much. Why not give the
man just trial.
The Jew a coward. NJ. lola gives that
the lie, where is the Christian who would
face the odds he does to-day, in his
! endeavor to right the wrong done brother.
Throughout this world the maine Of Io!a
should be held in reverence by every Jewish
heart.
If the Jews absorb the wealth Of this
country they spend it here, at least .Al
daughters, as rule, do not take millions to
the other side to refill thu golfers OF poverty
stricken, dissipated lords, willing to stoop
to an American bride for her Yankee coin,
in exchange for miserable title. This is
their home here and the maid weds the
Jewish youth and here they remain.
II they represent the wealth, they are
also leaders of every great charitable mHve~
ment, and their names and checa3 afa Of
every list for good cause.
The Jews do not control the trusts
and syndicates, and its entirely erroneous
that the Jews control the liquor business,

he has spent his life in small town.
As for the Republican party. Prosperity
ceased in this country, to q great ext. Mt
when the administration changed from that
party, to the Democratic party Our brst
times were from Lncoln's administration at
She close of the war, until the close OF
Arthurs administration.
Under Republican rule the blacklist spot
in American history was wiped out, and
every negro in this country has cause yc
bless the name oil Lincoln.
Let us follow Christ's great example
And meet each man as brother.
His religion was pure and simple
Love ye one another.
There is a heaven above us,
