ANSWER.

Christmas is a compound word, made out
of the two words, 'Christ' and Mass"
The first historic traces of it are found
about 200 years after Christ. The Mass was
originally commemorative supper, pat
termed after the Jewish Passover which Christ
ate with his disciples.
IN course of time, the Roman Catholics
changed it into the present form. in which a
priest pretends to change wine into Christ's
blood, and bread into Christs body. Tbs
priest drinks the blood and seems to thrive
On it He buys the very best wine that the
market affords. and therefore it makes tip
top blood for him to drink.
The lay Catholics knoe at the altar and eat
Christ The priest having made God out of
the bread, breaks God up into small bits, and
the laymen eat
It looks like our broken bread, and it tastes
like bread; but it isn't bread. It is God, all
crumbled up.
(2) We have no evidence whatever that
Christ was born on Dee. 25th
Pope Plus L. in the 4th century changed
Christmas day from Jan. 9th to Dec Goth.
The festival is really survival Of the old
Roman Saturnalia, Of the pagan religion.
During the week Of the Saturnalia. every
body was privileged to turn loose aud cut
up Jack. generally.
During the old pagan Saturnalia. all social
differences between the rich and the poor the
master and the slave disappeared: business
was suspended; laW-courts were closed, and
schools turned out
People sent and received presents; the
streets were crowded with cay jewellers; toys
toys were given to the children; and religious
celebrations took place in the temples
Those religious ceremonies were in honor
of the pagan god, Saturn, and his wife, Ops.
The Roman Catholic priests saw how much
attached the Pagans were to this annual Satur-
MALTA, 50 they baptised it, as it were, with a
new name, calling it Christmas, and the peo-
pie went right ahead doing at Christmas
what they had always done at the Saturnalia.
You have to rise soon in the morning, if
you get ahead of Papa at Rome.

The Illegal Cotton Tax and The
Debt 90 dine South Which tEae
Government Refuses 10 Pay.

NOS "a AA&aa<A2G GASAGESGS eO d y
9 EVEN years ago, when the Republicans
were In power, the Democrats were de-
handing that the illegal cotton tax be re-
funded to the South.
Now that the Democrats are in power, it
is all different No Congressman is making
q fight to have the Government return to us
the millions of dollars which it unlawfully
took from us.
The Republicans have nothing to hope
from the South, and therefore they won't do
anything for us.
The Democrats have nothing to fear from
the South, and therefore they won't do any
thing for us.
The Republicans can't win us, and the
Democrats can't lose US, and consequently we
get no consideration from either of the
Twins.
An Oklahoma friend wrote me some weeks
ago, asking for the facts in regard to the
cotton tax
They are briefly as follows: ~
The first Federal Act was passed July 1, 1862,
imposing levy of one-half cent per pound. By
Act Of March 4, 1864, the tax per pound was fixed
at cents. On July 13, 1866, the tax was raised
to 3 cents per pound, and the last Act on March
2, 1857, the tax reduced to 2 ID cents per
pound. On February 8, 1863 ali duties on cotton
were removed.
During the several years in which this Federal
tax on cotton was imposed, the farmers of the
following cotton States were forced to pay into
the United States treasury the total amounts as
stated below:
Georgia, $11,897 900; Alabama, $1O,388,OOO;
Arkansas $2,555 900; Florida, $685. Louisi-
ana, $10,0980OO; Mississippi SS,743 900; North
Carolina, $3.50, 900; South Carolina, $4,172,-
600; Tennessee $7,873, 900; Texas $5,5O2, 900;
Missouri $593,00a Kentucky, $553,00O; Vir-
ginit $657000.
This makes total in round numbers of $685.
100000 An additional amount Of about ST.
100000 collected from shipments Of cotton
found in other States OF the Union, making
grand total Of $4,000, 900.
The years in which this Federal tax on cotton
levied and collected the South had no repre-
sentaton in either branch of the Congress.
The Government has had the use of $685.
100000 Of our money for nearly half cen
tury
At simple interest, and per cent, the
Government owes more than $200000,000
We asked the Democrats to pay us an hon
est debt and we got cold shoulder.
The millionaires who own the coal and
timber lands of Alaska asked for $35 100000
to build them a railroad, and they got the
money.

The Chicago packers complained, and our

In other words, our Government after hav-
