Description
“A New Disease,” by Elbert Hubbard
Boston: The Arena, vol. 10, whole no. 55 (June 1894), pp. 76-83.
American philosopher, publisher, and writer Elbert Green Hubbard contributes a critique of the “new disease” in American politics — paranoia — manifested in a fear on the part of Protestants that Catholics were militarizing and mobilizing for a takeover. The myth was stoked by the American Protective Association, an anti-Catholic secret society, which published fraudulent documents of purported Catholic origin “revealing” such plans.
