MISSION.

On Jan. Sth Father Mcnamara Of
ST. Mary's Cathedral, Natchez, will
open a Mission to Catholics and non
Catholics in "OUR LADY OF VIC.
TORIES CHURCH Of this city.
The object Of this mission is to eX-
plain to the public what the doctrines
of the Catholic church really arc; and
that they are not such, as 50 often
Inisrcprcsented as being.
Calumuy and Misrepresentation
have painted the church in fase colors
ana have succeeded in many places in
distorting her doctrines, 50 as to leave
very false impression upon the
popular mind.
How often, for instance, it has been
asserted that Catholics pay divine
honorS to the Virgin Mary, that they
worship statues and images, that they
must pay the priest to, forgive them
their sins, that they believe the Pope
of Rome cannot commit sin, etc.
and kindred absurditics and calum-
mics.
1t is to remove these erroneous i'm
preSsions that band OF Catholic
Missionary priests have been engaged
far some years past, in crusade
against popular misconceptions OF
Catholic doctrines.
! During the coming week, Father
Mcnamara, Il member Of this mission,
ary banda native Amcrican-will
give IA public lecture each evening at
7:3O on the following subjects:
MONDAY 8th-"'rhe Horrors of the
Catholic Confessional.
TUEsDAY-"ls there such an inter
mediate state as Purgatory."
WEDNEsDAY-"Is Christ's body
really present in the sacrament OF the
Lords Supper, or Is it only memoria
of His passion"
TnURsDAY-"Is it superstition tt

Recently the newspapers throughout
the land published the statements OF
Henry O. Havemeyer, president of the
American Sugar Refining Company,
before the Industrial Commission at
Washington. in which that magnate'
the head of the sugar trust" denounc-
ed the protective tariff as the mother
of trusts. While he did not openly op-
pose trusts, he. nevertheless, sought 10
discredit the protective tariff by throw
ing upon it the odium of being RESPONSE
BILE for the existence of trusts. The alb
surdity of the the statements made by
this illustrious parsonage would be lu-
dicrous coming from almost any other
man than the head of one of the largest
trusts in the United States, but it is cas-
lily observable that the ostensible purpose
of Mr.. Havemeyer is to crush the beet
sugur industry by removing the tariff
from sugar.
Henry T. Oxnard, president of the
American Beet Sugar Producers asso-
citation, has prepared a reply to II. ..
Havemeyer's recent argument before
the industrial commission at Washing
ton He fatty denies many OF Have
meyers statements, and accuses that
gentleman of seeking to destroy the
American beet sugar industry In order
TO foster the refneries that use foreign
raw material besides attempting 10
divert public attention from the sugar
trust by attacking the tariff.
Oxnard says. 1.-THE two largest, in
fact the pioneer trusts in the country, as
everyone knows, are the Standard Oil
and Sugar trusts. The Sugar company,
according to Havemeyer, receives only
3D. per cent. protection. How absurd,
then, is it to say that the tariff is re-
sponsible for trusts. But wish to dis
pute Havemeyer's statement regarding
the protection afforded to sugar REIN
ing The protection granted the sugar
producer who makes the article of sugar
itself is 30 per cent. on the cost of raw
sugars. or identical with the protection |
granted the sugar refining companies.
Oxuard declares that American sugar |
producers would suffer and the develop |
ment of the beet sugar industry be re-
tarded by the admission of raw sugar
free of duty He adds There is no
trust among the sugar producers Of this
country, and there never can be, for the
simple reason that the beet sugar indus
try can be started in almost any part of
the union.
In conclusion he says: Il will not dis
pute Hayemeyer's claim that 10 per
cent is sufficient protection to the sugar
refining interests which he represents
but 1 do assert that he cannot make the
American people believe the industries
of this country and business prospered
during the years we were struggling I'M
der the Wilson law when the average
protection amounted to 10 per cent, ad
valorem. If Mr. Havemeyer had said
that keen and losing competition in
business led to the formation of trusts
be would be right.
