Having lately returned from [[Wikipedia:Canada|Canada]] after a residence there of 15 years, I know something of the country and am able to bear witness to the truth of every statement made regarding the [[Wikipedia:French Canadian|French population]] of the province of [[Wikipedia:Quebec|Quebec]] by the learned Professor in his letter. There is a remarkable similarity in character and habits between the French of Quebec and the [[Wikipedia:Celtic|Celtic]] [[Wikipedia:Irish|Irish]]. Both are alike bigoted [[Wikipedia:Roman Catholic Church|Roman Catholics]] and are equally ignorant, superstitious, and priest-ridden. They are both alike aggressive in their temper and are similarly animated by hostility to [[Wikipedia:England|England]] and hatred to [[Wikipedia:Protestantism|Protestantism]]. Both are clannish in their habits and have a similarly low standard of comfort. Both races possess extraordinary fecundity and [[Wikipedia:La Revanche des berceaux|multiply more rapidly]] than the [[Wikipedia:Anglo-Saxons|Anglo-Saxons]]. Like the Irish of the colonies and the [[Wikipedia:United States|United States]], the [[Wikipedia:French-Canadians|French-Canadians]] are inveterate politicians and office-seekers, and are utterly unscrupulous as to the means by which they may obtain power or place. Even in their virtues they are alike, in the gaiety of their temper and their love of music, song, and dance. Such being the similarity of the two races, we are perfectly justified in looking to Quebec, as it is under French-Canadian rule, for a counterpart of what Ireland would be under [[Wikipedia:Home Rule|Home Rule]]. The priest there is supreme, the education and intelligence of the masses at the lowest notch, and the Protestant element in the population, as Professor Goldwin Smith says, is being rapidly eliminated. In any rural district in Quebec, where the Protestants are in a minority, they speedily discover that they cannot continue to live there. The [[Wikipedia:Education in Quebec|public schools]] are under the control of the majority, who are themselves the slaves of the priests, and are so conducted that it is impossible for Protestants to send their children to them. They must either support separate schools or, if unable, because too few, to do that, must go without schools. The local taxation is also controlled by the majority, and the Protestant minority finds itself taxed without having any voice in the matter or control of the money. In order to assist in the good work of getting rid of the Protestant element in the population the [[Wikipedia:Quebec#Religion|Roman Catholic Church in Quebec]], which is very wealthy, has established a fund from which advances are made to French-Canadians who purchase the lands of their Protestant neighbours. If a French-Canadian who proposes to buy the farm of a Protestant has one-fourth or even less than one-fourth of the price, he will get the remaining three-fourths of the money or more from the fund in question through his parish priest. The Church then takes a [[Wikipedia:lien|lien]] on the farm for the repayment of the advance with interest. The piece of land thus purchased at once becomes tributary to the parish priest in the matter of [[Wikipedia:Tithe|tithes]], and its new owners is doubly the slave of the Church — first for conscience' sake; secondly as its debtor. He is, in truth, a veritable serf till the money he borrowed has been paid back; and as its serf must vote as the Church directs. Protestants, on their part, when they find themselves surrounded and outnumbered by uncongenial and often unfriendly neighbours, are willing enough to sell and go West, generally to Uncle Sam's domains. Thus the process of getting rid of the Protestant and Anglo-Saxon element in the rural population of Quebec proceeds from year to year with accelerated speed; and the final consummation, the total extirpation of Protestantism in all the country districts of the province, cannot now be long delayed.

There is a remarkable similarity in character and habits between the French of Quebec and the [[Wikipedia:Celtic|Celtic]] [[Wikipedia:Irish|Irish]]. Both are alike bigoted [[Wikipedia:Roman Catholic Church|Roman Catholics]] and are equally ignorant, superstitious, and priest-ridden. They are both alike aggressive in their temper and are similarly animated by hostility to [[Wikipedia:England|England]] and hatred to [[Wikipedia:Protestantism|Protestantism]]. Both are clannish in their habits and have a similarly low standard of comfort. Both races possess extraordinary fecundity and [[Wikipedia:La Revanche des berceaux|multiply more rapidly]] than the [[Wikipedia:Anglo-Saxons|Anglo-Saxons]]. Like the Irish of the colonies and the [[Wikipedia:United States|United States]], the [[Wikipedia:French-Canadians|French-Canadians]] are inveterate politicians and office-seekers, and are utterly unscrupulous as to the means by which they may obtain power or place. Even in their virtues they are alike, in the gaiety of their temper and their love of music, song, and dance. Such being the similarity of the two races, we are perfectly justified in looking to Quebec, as it is under French-Canadian rule, for a counterpart of what Ireland would be under [[Wikipedia:Home Rule|Home Rule]]. The priest there is supreme, the education and intelligence of the masses at the lowest notch, and the Protestant element in the population, as Professor Goldwin Smith says, is being rapidly eliminated. In any rural district in Quebec, where the Protestants are in a minority, they speedily discover that they cannot continue to live there. The [[Wikipedia:Education in Quebec|public schools]] are under the control of the majority, who are themselves the slaves of the priests, and are so conducted that it is impossible for Protestants to send their children to them. They must either support separate schools or, if unable, because too few, to do that, must go without schools. The local taxation is also controlled by the majority, and the Protestant minority finds itself taxed without having any voice in the matter or control of the money. In order to assist in the good work of getting rid of the Protestant element in the population the [[Wikipedia:Quebec#Religion|Roman Catholic Church in Quebec]], which is very wealthy, has established a fund from which advances are made to French-Canadians who purchase the lands of their Protestant neighbours. If a French-Canadian who proposes to buy the farm of a Protestant has one-fourth or even less than one-fourth of the price, he will get the remaining three-fourths of the money or more from the fund in question through his parish priest. The Church then takes a [[Wikipedia:lien|lien]] on the farm for the repayment of the advance with interest. The piece of land thus purchased at once becomes tributary to the parish priest in the matter of [[Wikipedia:Tithe|tithes]], and its new owners is doubly the slave of the Church — first for conscience' sake; secondly as its debtor. He is, in truth, a veritable serf till the money he borrowed has been paid back; and as its serf must vote as the Church directs. Protestants, on their part, when they find themselves surrounded and outnumbered by uncongenial and often unfriendly neighbours, are willing enough to sell and go West, generally to Uncle Sam's domains. Thus the process of getting rid of the Protestant and Anglo-Saxon element in the rural population of Quebec proceeds from year to year with accelerated speed; and the final consummation, the total extirpation of Protestantism in all the country districts of the province, cannot now be long delayed. It cannot, of course, be so easily expelled from [[Wikipedia:Montreal|Montreal]] and other commercial and manufacturing centres, but even in them it will be difficult for it to hold its own where the rural districts have all been thoroughly Romanized.</div></td></tr> <tr><td class="diff-marker"></td><td style="background-color: #f8f9fa; color: #202122; font-size: 88%; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 4px; border-radius: 0.33em; border-color: #eaecf0; vertical-align: top; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br></td><td class="diff-marker"></td><td style="background-color: #f8f9fa; color: #202122; font-size: 88%; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 4px; border-radius: 0.33em; border-color: #eaecf0; vertical-align: top; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br></td></tr> <tr><td class="diff-marker"></td><td style="background-color: #f8f9fa; color: #202122; font-size: 88%; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 4px; border-radius: 0.33em; border-color: #eaecf0; vertical-align: top; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div>Would not a similar state of things be established in Ireland under Home Rule?
