P. A. and the nefarious practices of those who propagate its principles. "Protestant Protective As - ;t :ltocitttion" is an ambiguous. term. It may he taken to mean an. association for : the protection pf Protestantism, yr it !nay mean a society of Protestants orgetezod for the protection of something Lie i else. Asit is in talo i'ortaer sense that the tirgauuzatiou is usually regarded, purpose treating it in that eense, viz., society for the proteetioa of Protestant ism. Protection presupposes an attack by some superior force, on the person o thing protected. Those of the P. P. A claim that the weal, thing attaoked m the present case is Protestantism, and that the superior force attacking it 1 the Catholic- Church. Protestantism must either accept this humiliating ac knowledgement of its own weakeess, o publicly repudiate P. P. A. ism. This i a conclusion which must force itsel upon the mind of every one who vie the matter by the unbiassed light o reason. I have said "humiliating" for tworeasons, lst. If Protestantism needs protecting that protection, one would suppose, ought to come from the clergy and to acknowledge the power of an other agency in the accomplishment of such a result would be a confession that Protestantism is surrounded by difficul- ties with which its clergy is unable to cope. 2nd. Even a tacit acknowledge - Ment on the part of the Protestant clergy of the pretensions of the P. P. A. would he placing their own duties, pre- rogatives and powers in the hands of agents morally and intellectually infer- ior to thetr.selves. This would certainly be a humiliating concession, because it is a well-known fact that the P. P. A. is composed of an element, whose moral and intellectual attainments are by no means to be admired. Its leadexs are persons of no standing is the country, wi„ h little or no education and many of them little or no character. What, then, my we expert from the rank and file of the organization ? Even the leaders of the "Third Party," whose creature the P. P. A. is, are ashamed to identify themselves with it. But they keep goading on the more desperate and shameless portion of the fanatical ele- ment, promising them a fair share of the spoils when they shall have sailed into power amid the putrid waters of religi- ous hate. I shall now deal with the "cause" which P. P. A. ism claims for its existence, namely, "popish aggresion"• This repulsive scare -crow is always dragged before the public whenever the fanatics have a purpose to serve. But the most amusing part of the matter is that none of them can tell in. what it consists. If "popish aggression" con- sists in the propagation of the Cathraie faith throughout the world, I beg to assure the croakers that that work will go on iminterrupted, according to the prediction of our blessed Lord, until "the consummation of time." The Catholic Church asks no special privi- leges, nor has see received any. Her in- stitutions are exclusively maintained by her own indefatigable labor and the self-sacrificing zeal of her ohileren. Her clergy and people mind their own busi- ness. And it is only when some raving fanatic transgresses „ beyond the 3 limits of endurance that we have to stepin to call him to order. Our people constitute 40 per cent. of the population of Canada. It is to deprive them of all the rights and privileges guaranteed them by the con- stitution, in common with all others of Her Majesty's subjects in this Dominion, that these conspirators have banded themselves together.
