Where the Jews Live.

Three million Jews live in Russia, where they are shut up in the western provinces and villainously treated. If he ventures to live outside the Jewish pale in Russia a Hebrew has to carry, on some humble trade, and the richest banker in Odessa, if any Russian has a grudge against him, may be compelled^ to actually work as a cobbler on pain of banishment.

Naturally the' Jews retaliate, and delight in getting the Russian officials and nobles under their power with loans of money. One million five hundred thousand Jews live in the Austrian Empire, where they are persecuted. The present mayor and corporation of Vienna were elected for the express purpose of bullying the Jewish community- France hau 80.000 Jews, Roumania has 100,000 Jews, Gormany 700,000, Holland 80,000, and Italy 501100,

In Great Britain we have 80,000, including many of our most notable and popular public men.

Europe has 6,000,000 Jews, America 350,000, Africa 500,000, Asia 250,000, Australasia 20,000.

So altogether there are 7,120,000 people of this nation, which is pretty fair, considering that 3000 years ago there only numbered about 3,000,000, and the whole civilised- world has ben massacring and bullying them ever since. They seem to be by far the most capable race on earth. There is not a single art, industry, or science in which they have not excelled.
