Sinopsis

Excerpt from The Catholic World, Vol. 43: A Monthly Magazine of General Literature and Science; April, 1886 to September, 1886

Taken as a whole, Mr. Abbott's article is a vigorously-written and well-meant document, which, as he expresses the hope, will start the reader to thinking. But he has not exhausted the sub ject; he leaves some points untouched, and the truth-seeker may be permitted to differ with him in some of his conclusions.

Excerpt from The Catholic World, Vol. 43: A Monthly Magazine of General Literature and Science; April, 1886 to September, 1886

I have digressed somewhat from the main subject to show how that irresistible propensity of Protestant writers to have a fling at the Catholic religion may lead even an eminent thinker like Mr. Lyman Abbott to contradict his own words or to as sume an absurdly illogical position. Revenons a nos montons. The principal elements of danger, in Mr. Abbott's opinion, are to be found in the immigration of vast numbers of people of various creeds or of no creed at all, many of whom come here having learned lessons of anarchy and revolt in their native land, and who are given here these powers of ballot, of education, of free speech and free organization. He then draws the following sad picture of the American people of the present day: One half of our workers are wage-workers; one-third of our popu lation, including the vast majority of our wage-workers, are either of foreign birth or children of foreign-born parents. They are restless, and are growing more so. There is no power in any church to which they owe allegiance adequate to prevent an out break. There is no power in the state, no police, no military, ca pable of quelling it. Large numbers of them acknowledge no fealty to any religion which teaches them the duty or endows them with the power of self-restraint. The churches too often address not their conscience but their imagination. The schools address not their conscience but their intellect. Men who have been taught that modern order is despotism and modern property is theft find themselves in a country where the only support of order is an enlightened conscience, and the only protection of property is an enlightened self-interest; and neither their con science nor their selfiinterest is enlightened. If this be a true bill against one-third of our population the republic is indeed in danger and republicanism a failure. In justice to that vast num ber of American citizens who are of foreign birth, or who can4 'ca use and cure.
