Brought His Wares.
WE WANT NO ANTI-SEMITIC WAR BEGUN,
And if We Did Are Able to Fight Our Own Battles Without the Intervention of Fanatical European Blatherskites.
NEW YORK, Dec. 5.—Herr Hermann Ahlwardt, the great anti-Semitic lecturer, arrived here on the steamer Spree from Bremen. The following statement from him explains his mission in America: "I came here for the purpose of uniting the working classes of this country against the Jews, as the latter form a race who do not produce any result due to their own labor. Their sole desire is to derive the benefits of others' labor by tricks and fraud. I hold that the Jewish spirit is corrupting the Gentiles. Labor is oppressed by the Jews, and its fruits are being absorbed by them. I will explain all this more fully in my lectures, and show clearly the evil effect of Judaism.
"I hope that I will be able to arouse the anti-Semitic spirit in this country, which I am told is strong, but yet slumbering. It is in its infancy. I do not expect serious trouble while in this country. I hope that those who do not agree with me will fight me openly in a manly spirit, face to face.
"I will be glad to enter into controversy with anyone or listen to any question or argument that may be made against the principles which I advocate. I am here to defend them, and shall be ever ready to give answer to any attacks if they may be called such."
Pending a conference with the committee which has arranged for his appearance in America, the distinguished gentleman begged to be excused from discussing his future movements. He stated however, that it was his purpose to give a course of twenty-one lectures in this country. The time or place has not yet been agreed upon.
