The Irish republic. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1867-18??, 1867-09-21


doctors of divinity, to accomplish this object
England aims at being the workshop of the world"
She boasts that she is such. Her manufactures and
commerce constitute her wealth Her wealth is her
power. Let her flood America with her half-priced
fabrics formed by the furnishing hands of her leglons
OF white slaves and the consequence not tar to lore
see The money of America will pass by the empty
pockets Of Irish and American workmen and 1t Will
pour, in golden stream, into the Golfers OF England
And England will be richer and America will be poorer
and England will be more powerful and America more
weak than if the Declaration of Independence had never
been written and the sword of Washington drawn
England knows all this better, God help us than we
do And ENGLAND AT ONCE BRIDES THE NEWSPAPER
PRESS OF AMERICA TO ADVOCATE FREE TRADE.
We write these words designedly and advisedly.
There are-and we rejoice to acknowledge it-many
noble and honorable exceptions The New York Trib
me, the Iron Age and perhaps more than half the
Republican journals of the United States have spurned
the foreign bride, and standing up faithfully for
protection to their countys industry and to the wages
of the workingmen of America. But we are sorry to
confess it, that not few influential Republican journals
have been bought by the English enemy while THE
ENTIRE DEMOCRATIC NEWSPAPER PRESS OF AMERICA
ARE BATTLING FOR WHAT THEY CALL FREE TRADE
that is to fill the cup Of the English oppressor with
wealth and power and TO ROB THE IRISH AND AMER
IcAN woRKINGMEN OF THE UNITED STATES OF HALF
THEIR WAGES
We print, in another part of present issue, an
article from newspaper called the Fond du Lac
Democrat which will thus, through The IRISH REPUB-
11o for once in it's lifetime have thousands of readers
I. oJo LoPoro r. SO
canddly confess totally destitute of talent and truth
But to look for such qualities in copperhead blotng
sheet about reasonable to expect saving grace
in that celebrated region which Dr. Moriary does not
consider heated to temperature high enough for his
pious purposes.
We are informed by this sapient scribe that g the
Feniansm and sympathy for Irishmen," Of The IRISH
REPUBLIC ARE blind to cloak its main purposethe
obtaining of Irish votes for the radical party"
We do not use cloaks. We say out plainly what we
are-the friends of liberty in Ireland in America all the
world over Cloaks only necessary for hypocrcal
scoundrels who sail under false pretenses who gable
about democracy in whisky saloons and small gambling
hells and under cover of the name sympathize with
and support human slavery.
We are the enemies of all Shiny snakes who would
have strangled liberty in their land and would if
they could under the specious pretense of free trade
ten and foster into everlasting power the accused
tyrannies Of England and Europe Between the friends
of human freedom and such vile and reptiles
there can be peace Slavery and it's champions
cursed of God and abhorred of all good And they
must perish.
We say out, plainly and distinctly, that consider
the men who struck down American slavery with their
n l.
all men who are true to the of ireland and of
universal liberty to stand by them and support them.
Small as is the modicum of brains in the Uranium of
this Wisconsin copperthing hope that he will
be able to understand this.
