NEW YORK, Oct. 10th.-A special
cable says of the address issued by
the Home Rulers on the anti-rent
agitation in Ireland: A telegram
has been received from New York
guaranteeing the sum of $780, 900 if
the Irish member of the advanced
party will visit the United States.
Parnell will probably go. The ad-
dress was issued yesterday. 1t says
that. apart from the effect of Amer.
lean competition with the products
of rent-tied Ireland, all Irish evils
are referable to the barbarous land
system. 1t is that system which
has reduced the people to such des-
perate circumstances. 1t is that
system which has compelled them
to proclaim the ownership of soil
by the people and not by landlords.
No confiscation of proprietorial
rig hts is demanded. Societies
must be organized in every county
Assistance must be rendered to the
tenants against the landlords. The
power at present lies wholly with
the latter. To give advantage to
the former two things are neces-
sary. Six hundred thousand land
less farmers must be welded to
gether into one organized body,
and aid must be given them. They
require money. No community
has had more bitter experience of
the land system than these Irish,
who have been compelled to seek
abroad the food that has been de-
MED them at home. Nowhere will
this appeal sound such depths
as in that great Sutherland, where
ten millions of Irishmen have
taken refuge. Let them remem-
Der that the state of things which
Ireland now desires to abolish has
banished them from their beloved
land, to benefit by laws which af-
ford equal protection to all classes
of citizens. lii that great Ameri.
can Republic they can appreciate
all efforts that aim in affording
equal incentives to progress to their
crushed and prosecuted kindred at
home. An appeal is made to all
whom evil laws have driven from
their native land. 1t is addressed
to the men and women of other ma =.
tionalities all over the world who
can sympatbize with wronged
and impoverished people. And
that people, being resolved to find
a remedy for their evils, do now
appeal to American-Irish, that they
may lift themselves from social
degradation to a position where
notices to quit and rack rents shall
no longer operate against industry,
security and contentment. No one
must think that there is any wish
to place the anti-rent agitation in
antagonism to other departments
of national labor. Freedom of the
Irish soil is task far above the
influences of party movement. 1t
has won the endorsement of public
opinion. 1t will win the endorse
meut of Irish-A and
Irish-Americans will at last obtain
for ireland the possession of uDfet-
tered soil.
