The Irish mud their Friends.

In 1917, Ireland was suffering all the horrors of
famine, and her suffering people were crying for
bread! Their cries reached the United States,
whele there was all abundance of bread. 1t was a
whole nation that was starving, and the case re-
| quircd the sympathy of n, nation-the aid OF ma
ton. The demand was too large for eifcctual re-
lief by individual means only. The question Of
relief was before Congress- and let us enquire low
it was received, and who were Tor relieving the
furnishing IRISH! -.---r
On the .5th Al February, 1912, Mr.. Crittenden,
Wing, introduced INTO the Senate. bill to eNpend
five hundred thousand dollars in PROVISIONS and Tor

ported the bill with great cloqucnce He was fol

and By Cen CaSS, Democrat. The next day IL
was called up and was finally passed III the Sen

was near the close OF the SeSSion-but three bust

this, the Lucooco majority sent the bill 10 the
nittee OF Ways apd Means, expecting and intend
ing to smother il i'll committee for want of time.--
! Gu the ID OF March, Mr.. Carroll, Wing, moved to
instruct that committee to report back the bill for

was great opportunity for the brawling leaders Of

just before each election.
| These good Democratic friends of the Irish held
it TO be impotic and unconstitutional TO vote mo-
ncy 'U the people of Ireland from starvation,
when tens ofthouSands of men women and children
in that country, were wildly reaching their arms
towards US, and crying, bread! bread!! BREADTH
This is striking commentary upon the Democrat
ic party'S loud professions of loye for the lish'
Butthese same Democratic members find no con-
Stitational Obsticle in the way, when called on to
vote large sums their party favorites, as say
900 to father Richie, they go 1t with rush.

The Express goes on to say
Pennsylvania politicians, especially OF the Dem
ocratic school, would do we'll to look into this New
York weekly record, and study it. especially before
the election of President. We here certainly can
have no very serious objection to the continuance
of such trade, if Pennsylvania stand it, and
Northern New York, and irsinia, and Tennessee,
as well as other places vhereir iron is made.
Iii not an agreeable fact, however, to reInem-
Der that while we have in the bosom of our own
land, all the out of which thisiron can be made
we are sending out products &c, to pay for it,
which products otherwise might be consumed at
our own doors, and save both TO the producer and
consumer of iron, the cost of freghts, insurance,
commissions, &C., all involved in this doubled-At-
