Nor are these results mora 1ranKiy

1t is now apparent to thoughtiul

the Interests OF the American re-

the America people for the support

The Drain OF money fre N TIE tollers
of the United States 10 aid their
kindred in Ireland will continue un
til the government which they de-
test, and which keeps them poor
and dependent, is expelled. In
Whsteyer measure we enlist the
sympathy and influence of the
Ameri.a san republic in be-
half of The people Of Irs-
land we render service to the re-
public. It has been the practice OF
the English government for more
than q generation to drive vast
numbers of the Irisn PEOPLE oil
small agricultural holdings into foui
aud vicious dens called poorhouaes.
Being thus reduced 10 poverty,
their children robi ed of an oppor-
tunity 10 acquire bread getting
skill, they have b, en- forced into
the pi 70 of &C au vssasls, and car
pc nIleGs upon thu crowded CITES OF
our se2board. Here they have be-
come unwilling but helpless charges
upon our communities or, by ne
biame!ess lack or skin. and their
creditable energy in seeking en-
ployment they have forced wages
down along the lines where wages
are lowest. In dirF citing the alien
ton of our govern ment 10 this Vio-
lation O. in ernatieHsl rights, We
discharged a duty TO the American
tax payer Ri q Wsge, worker while
we fastened the attention CT th'
worl upon a long>lived English lie
-nsmely, that Iyeiand is over p pu'
lated, for We showed that oniy
100000 acres out OF &c. 100000 OF
her soil are under tiIisge, and that
if permitted to govern herself, Ire
land is capable Of supporUlng hvt
times her population.

this peaceful method Of prevention
rather than waiting until tina cur
