General McAdaras Tells why They Should
Vote for Blaine and Logan.
ST. Louis. Nov. 1.-General j. d. McAdaras
has issued the following address:
ITO Irish-Americau Citizens
Having been frequently requested of late by
my countrymen from all parts of the United
States TO give them my opinion as to how they
can best serve the cause of Ireland, compatible
with their duties to this, their adopted country,
at the coming presidential election, | embrace
this opportunity, although at the eleventh hour,
of replying to them, to state that am thor
oughly convinced that the best way they can
serve the cause of Ireland. well as the country
of their adoption, is to vote solidly for Blaine
and Logan. for the following reasons:
'FirSt-This country has had no foreign policy
worthy of the name, and in consequence the
citizens, both native and adopted, have been at
a great disadvantage when travelling either for
business or pleasure in other countries. Such a
state of things is unworthy of free and power
full people. This country, with its immense and
ever-increasing population and boundless re
sources, ought to occupy the first place in the
councils of the nations and to lead instead of
following in the wake of the effete governments
of the old world. The motto of American eiti-
Zens ought to be as with the Romans of old
'Ci Wis Americanus.'
''Second-Al men of Irish blood ought 70 vote
for the candidates who are known to favor a
high tariff, which will protect the workingmen
of this country against the competitive pauper
labor of England. Remember, fellow country
men, that it was England's grasping free trade
policy forced upon Ireland that ruined her in
dustries and has been the principal cause of the
many famines that have fallen upon ireland
since the eXecrated act mscalled union of
$500. Free trade, as propagated by the British
has brought nothing but misery and pauperism
in its wake to the working classes of all the
nations which have allowed themselves to be
either forced caioled into adopting it.
speak with knowledge of the facts as | have
travelled through all the countries in which this
baneful policy has succeeded in implanting itself
and have observed the suffering and degradation
it has wrought upon the toiling classes of those
nations. A lowering of the tariff in this
country would quiet the discomfort which
prevails amongst the great mass of
unemployed operatives in England, by.giv-
ing them remunerative employment, and re
leve the aristocracy from its present fear and
confirm it in its monopoly of the land aud in its
class privileges for at least another generation
while on the other hand, if the high tariff is
it results in demand by the people for i share
in the soil of the country, which may lead to a
revolution. Such difficulty need hardly say.
fellow-countrymen, would be our opportunity.
and would powerfully aid in making our
country nation once again. You may aid in
bringing this about by voting for Blaine and
Logan.
