interesting statc*ment of the amount Cath­ olics had exponikxl in building and equipp­ ing their .schools in this country. Li erect­ ing schools they had ex]«ndt-fl no less a sum than six millions sterling, land quite one- sixth of that had hecii spent in the .Salford diocese, while the management of the schools had cost them, since 1870, a fur- Iher sum of ;£!,080,000. That represented the price they had paid for the privilege they claimed, and if necessary, they tyere prepared to continue to make sacrifices for their religion, and to protect their cliildren to the utmost of their power.
