Will rriuhmen supper, British Policy
New Yonx. September 6, 1882

To the Editors Of the N. Y Tribune:
am an IrShman, though n naturalized citizen
OF the United States. l wish to say one word on
politics. 1t is true that the leading English papers
in favor of the election of Gen. Pierce, rs like
" to benefit the cotton lords of Manchester, Biz
mngham and other manufacturing English towns?
If so, my vote is decided for Scott. Loving my
lutherland, whose lfe-blood has beeL trampled out
by the English trade and manufacturers policy,
cannot uphold any man or party elsewhere That
promises TO aid that accused English policy. Did
not eloquent Meagher, in Is47. IN Dublin,
declare that this English policy had robbed Ireland
of her manufactures, palsled her industry and
ruined her trade! and can any lrShmen born help
that policy to longer stronger life? am told
that that forrest of papers, the London Times,
which has repeatedly cxulted over the desolaton
of Ireland claims that the election Of Mr. Pierce
will be worth million TO Manchester and Birnlng-
ham, Is it SO? | may be wrong; but believe
Irshmen not fond of British parties, nor OF par
ties advocated by British tories. Will you not, not
for my sake, but for thesake of TRUTH that lrshmen
may know who they are serving, publish what these
English papers do say; also what Mr. Meagher said
about British policy lin 1871! Let us have the
truth i'll brief and oblige
Yours, &C.,, JOHN McDERMOT.
Uj''rhe triumph of the candidate OF the Demo-
cratic party, brought forward hy the men OF the
South will secure, probably forever the ascendant
cy of liberal Commercial principles; and II Lord
Derby, should be, next year, disposed to take the
American tariff Tor his model, we have little doubt
that il will serve TO remove the last Illusions OF the
protective system from his mind. In this repect,
and on this point, we take Gen. Pierce to be fair
representative of the opinions Of Mr. Calhoun and,
as such, valuable prdctcdiaily to the commercial
policy ofthis county'y.-London Times, JuiyG. ri
1--WE are without information as to the views
of Gen. Pierce on the subject of operation with
England; but we cannot say that we feel any ap
prehenSion OH the point, and we. Shall await the
final election not without share i'll the confidence
of many friends that it will result well.-London
Leader.
uJ'The election OF Gen. Pierce will, ut any rate,
prove that the Democrats ,nujority, whatever may
be their differences, unanimous III their testlmo-
ny on behalf of liberal commercial policy; and
any Government he may form will be one on winch
this country may rely for etectudi cooperation in
reducing, wherever practicable, existing impede
ments to international intercourse Manchester

sThe two parties of the Republic, Wing and
Democrat-that is, Conservative and Progressive,
Protectionist and Free Trade-appear to have mar.
shalled their forces and selected their candidates
for the coming election. EVERY ENGLlSHMAN,
of almost every class, REJOICES IN THE En-
PECTATION FOR THE SUCCESS OF THE
DEMOCRATIC PROGRESSIVE FREE TRADE
PARTY."-London Dispatch, Sep. 9Th, 1852.

"The manufacturers of America CANNOT EXIST
UNDER COMPETITION WITH ENGLAND, WITHOUT A
HIGHER TARIFF; and the simple question is ,rhether
manufacturers shall cease or not.' .t.
