THE MANCHESTER PRIsoNERs-APPEAL FROM THE IRISH
PEOPLE or MANCHESTER For AID


We have received the following appeal from the Defense
Committee Manchester England The opinions of the con-
ductors of this journal in regard to all future dcos which
can only end in sending brave to the dungeon or
the scaod without any corresponding good the cause OF
Irish liberty isceary forth in the leading columns of
this number of THE IRISH REPUBLIC But while we con-
denim the insgaors of such bootess movements we wish it
to be thoroughly understood that will stand by the vic
Tins firmly say the very least those who rant about
rcores and smashing up of England by the blowing of
penny-whistfes. Towards Allen and his heroic band
entertain the strongest feelings of respect They worked from
patriotic motives and the Ishman who wthholds his dollar
from the Manchester defense fund now, matter under
whose banner he serves deise When brothers
in the hands of such uncyzed brue those Manchester
officials have shown themselves be, and spirited
countmen and England appeal to for
defend their imprisoned and manacled friends they must not
appeal in vain. We deep debt of gratitude to
people in England for their many acts of charity and patriot
ism to their less fortunate counymen in Ireland Besides
all this when set of menno matter what course
they may have previously akeare in the hands of the
unscrupuous enemy all seetonaism fades away and they
become orr brothers.
We call countrymen in general and the Fenans in
particular to respond Immediately to this call. Let
shake off his responsibility by asserting that the duty of de-
Tending those should devove those parties who drive
them into the tolls No such reasoning be tolerated.
Those who drove them into their present position and who
they were willing to help them 1t quite simple thing
to raise it is different matter to meet and master the
consequences. But wise must do what they can to
remedy the criminal laundering of FOOLS Besides it is not
party now it is Ireland 1t is not Tom Kelly, John
Savage who is appealing to you It'll the horoic Allen
and his brave copatrot who risked their lives for Ireland
who appealing from their dungeons and chains
When men come knocking at hearts, in the of
Ireland and liberty if hearts true the response must
be immediate and hearty Let whatever is done, be done
quickly The time is short, and fearful doom may be
awaiting our heroic friends in Manchester Let them not be
sacrificed, if paltry dollars save them.
