NEW YORK, September u, 1907.
To the Editors ofthc N. y. Tribune:
am an Irishmah, though n naturalized citsen
of the United States. wish to say one word on,
politics It's true that the leading English paperss
are in favor of the eectionAof Gen. Pierce, as ike
" to benefit the cotton lords of Manchester, BIZ.
mingham and other manufacturing English townsf
Ii 50, my vote is decided for Scott. Loving my
fatherand, whose ife-blood has bee. trampled out
by the English trade and manufacturers poilcy, X
cannot uphold any man or party elsewhere ina!
promises to aid that accused English policy: Dlu
not our own eloquent Meagher, in 1847, IN Dublin,
declare that this English policy had robbed lreland
of her manufactures, palsied her industry and
ruined her, trade? and can any Irshmen born help
that policy to longer or stronger lie! am tolu
that that forrest of papers, the London Illness
which has repeatedly exulted over the desoation
of ireland, claims that the election of Mr. Pierce
will be worth millions to Manchester and Blrming-
ham! Is it so2 j may be wrong; but believe
Irishmen are not fond of British parties, nor OF par
ties advocated by British tories Will you not, not
for my sake but for the sake 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 Fin 1847? Let us have the
truth i'll brief, and oblige ~,

tf.h The Proof
u5'The triumph of the candidate of the Demo-
cratic party, brought forward by the men Of the
South will secure, probably forever, the ascendant
| cy of liberal commercial principles; and if Lord
Derby, should be, next year, disposed to take the
American tariff for his model we have little doubt
that it will serve to the last illusions of the
protective system from his mind. In this repect,
and on this point, we take Gen. Pierce to be a fair
representative of the opinions of MIR. Calhoun and,
such, ualla6le practical ally TO the commercial
policy Of this cOuntry.-Lo Times, July 6.
| GfWe are without information as to the views
of Gen. Pierce on the subject of cooperation with
England; but we cannot say that we feel any ap
prehension on the point, and we shall await the
final election not without share in the confidence
of many friends that it will result well.-London
| Leader. 5l.
U-r''rhe election of Gen. Pierce will at any rate,
prove that the Democratic majority, whatever may
betheir differences, are unanimous in their testmo-
my on behalf of liberal commercial policy; and
any Government he may form will be one on which
this country may rely for e6eetual operation, in
reducing, wherever practicable, existing lmpedi-
ments to International intercourse..-Aidnehesfer
