New YORK., Jan. 3.-The following ad-
! dress has been issued:
! To the Irish Republican League of the
/ United States: Fellow countrymen, now
that the great political contest through which
the country has recently passed is ended,
and the people have once more resumed their
I ordinary avocations and settled down 10
every day business life, It may not be out of
place to address you and partly sum up the
results of your noble labors in the cause OF
equal rights to all mer, and protection to
American labor and American industries.
You have cause to feel proud Of the results of
your patriotic fight, even though vic
tory has not crowned your efforts
| You have demon strated that YOU
are free aud independent men, above
party preiudices and disdaining control OF
political bosses, and able TO think and act
for yourselves when the interests your race
and the welfare OF your adopted county are
involved. Your heroic action has proclaimed
TO the American people that the ''Irish vote"
is no longer in the pockets of political dema-
gogues, many Of them not of cur race, who
peddled it and bartered it to gain their sell
fish and unworthy ends. Look back to the
days Of slavery, the wages of labor then and
now. The natiou's prosperity during these
twenty-for years is the admiration of civili-
cation, and is In a very great measure due to
| our protective tariff which has been the cause
| OF lifting into prominence the west and south
as manufacturing centers, as well as extend
ing thUse of the north and east. Shall these
industries be allowed to suffer from the
Vaccinations of free traders backed bv the
influence of British gold. Even now from all
sides come doubt and uncertainty
many Of our factories are running half the
time, while Others are liable to be shut down
at any moment Trade Of all kinds is de-
pressed, caused in part by over production
and in part by doubt and uncertainty as to
what action the party who are about TO as
sumo the charge Of our national affairs, NAV
take in regard to our tariff laws. Now that
we have sustained defeat and happen to be,
for the time being. in the ranks of the min
GRITTY, let us show our manhood and steadfast
adherence to principle. Let us reorganize
aud stand braycly and resolutely on guard
The enemy is still in our front. English in
duence and English intrigue are at work In
our midst. They have gained foothold al
ready in the country. This fact is made mani
fest by the eXultaiion of the
English journals over the result Of the
late election. We need no other warning
than this to stimulate US 10 renewed
vigilance ana action. Let US, then, organ
lie in every state Of the Union. Now is the
time to show our patriotism, and prove IL is
not the mere emOluments Of Office that in
spirc US to action. Let us show to our fellow
citizens we are men III TO be trusted and
that we have the true interests OF the country
az heart. Although we have been defeated.
still the principles for which we struggled so
nanfully are deeply sealed in the hearts OF
the American people, and will yet be vindi-
Gated hy the free exercise of the ballot at
the polls, Ali clubs wishing 70 affiliate with
the league should at once get Into commuui-
cation with the secretary, Hon. Richard J.
Tanning, Of Columbus, Ohio, who will fur
