John Boyle O'ReiIIy ana the
Canadians

The editor Of the Boston Pilot,
Mr.. John Boyle O'Reilly, was re-
Gently invited by rishmen to de
liver the address at Toronto, Cana
da, on ST. Patri, KS Day, The Sew
enteenth Of March. He is a high
ly respected gentleman, an able
journalist and an lrishman and a
Catholic. Nineteen years ago he
participated in the Fenian demon
stration on the Canadian frontier.
Before accepting ne invitation of
his countrymen, he wrote to the
Canadian authorities inquiring
whether if he should visit Canadian
soil, he could be assured Of immuni-
ty from arrestand other annoyance.
The authorities promptly refused to
vOuchsafe him the immunity with.
ont which he would have been most
imprudent to venture into Canada.
Mr.. O'Reilly declines the invitation,
because, as he says, he cannot af.
ford to give his family distress or
to infict the 'oss to his business
that would attend his arrest and
Imprisonment.
This action Of the British au-
thOrities towards so distinguished
a leader among his countrymen,
will not soften Irish feeling in
America tO~ards England. The
Fenian outbreas occurred almost as
long ago as the American civil war
terminated. With the mass Of peo-
pie little is remembered about it 80
forcibly as the disgraceful flight of
the Queens Own, an organization
of Canadians, before "A hastily levied
force of Irish volunteers. 1t would
have been decent, polite and in
every way il licious for the Cana
dian authorities to give Mr.. OReil.
ly the protection that he felt reQui'
site before going to Canada.

a nation and people as ours. Give
our people proper protection and
they will Outstrip the world in
production.
But they say you can buy your
clothes and manufactured com
mOdities cheaper i'll England than
you can in this county. For
arguments sake admitting that we
can, is 1t policy to do so ? Is it to
the interests Of our people and to
the working people of our country
that we should go and buy there ?
More than S7,OO0,0O0, 900 worth
Of goods were made here last year,
and we paid to the laboring men
and women Of our country in the
manufacture of these goods 81, 800,
0OO,0 in wages. And the ques-
tiOn-the great question before
the people is whether we shall
continue to manufacture these
goods IN our own country, and pay
the wages to our own people, or
manufacture them in Europe, and
pay the wages for manufacturing
them to the people of Europel
That is the question. We want
the goods; we must have them /;
they must be made either here or
in Europe. If We make them here
we give employ ment to our own
people, and pay the wages for
producing them to our own people;
if we make them in Europe we give
employment to the people Of En-
rope, and pay the wages to their
people. In which country will
you have them made Shall we
continue it here, or shall we break
down our own system, tase away
the work from our people and give
1t to the people of England, and
pay to them what we are now pay
ing TO our own people q?
There Is another solution or
theory. Some of these Free Trad
ers say we will not transfer our
industries to England we will
retain a large portion of them b,
the wages OF our working
people. And they propose to re.
duce the price of manufactured
commodities, including the coat
aud clothes you wear, by reducing
the wages OF our people.
These are the two alternatives -
the reduction Of wages here to the
standard Of the pauper labor of
Europe or else TO transfer our in
dustrles there, and pay the working
people OF Europe the s ,jO0,0OO,0O
or such portion of it as may be re-
quired to produce the goods-one or
the other. Are you,ready for thisl
These wages-SI 800, 1000, 600
which We now pay do not all re-
main in the pockets of the laboring
people to whom they are paid a
part goes to the storekeeper, to
the butcher, the baker, the tailor,
the bOotmaker, etc, etc. And II is
this that makes and constitutes Jusi.
ness, and which has added so much
to the prosperity Of our country.
| told you it was q question OF
bread and butter TO the working
people Of our country, and that CIV.
cry man and woman in this country
would be affected by it, and You
see that this is so.
Why ! you have labor organiza-
tons to keep out foreign Labor to
prevent 1t from competing with you;
and this is all done in behalf OF
labor, to protect the labOring PEG.
Pile of the country and here the
Free Traders, to help England,
propose with one fell swoop either
to reduce the price Of labor to the
standard of the ill.paid labor Of Eu.
rope, or else to transfer our manu-.
industries to that country
and give the work to the work
people there.

The Virginidn does not lack in
resources. Last week it proves
that the school fund has been in
creased by bOurbOnism. 1t is use
less to try to argue such propO-
sition. The books tell it all. The
bill which became a law increasing
the school fluid was presented in
the House OF Delegates by Capt.
Grandstaff and was passed by the
then general assembly, 1t is I'M
der that law that the school funds
are app)rtioned now by Superin-
tendent Farr. The Grandsta bill
provided that $2j,0J0 should be
turned oyer to the school fund
each three months from the treas
ury till the amount filched from
that fund by fundeT legislatures
should be reimbursed. 1t also pro
vided for distributing the fund in
the counties as it is collected there.
There is no other law under which
the school fund is being collected
or disbursed, and under this Law
the schools have been increasing,
and the fund accordingly. The
only danger il can encounter Is
that the money left in the treasury
Isl, 400, 00O) has been nearly ran
through with by four sessions OF a
bourbon legislature, and if this
shall be exhausted there will be no
money from which to pay out the
quarterly instruments. This would
cut off 100000 from the school
fund.

QUERY: If the rcadjusters could
carry on the government witt 40
cents on the 500 of taxation for
four years and leave 81 100000 in
the treasury, and the bOurbons
could spend ne ,rly all that money
in less than two years, leaving
nothing to show tor it except their
own vouchers aud receipts in the
basement of the capital, we would
like to know which is the more
democratic as a party according to
what was once understood here to
be democracy.

Of the fiscal year ending June 80, 1884, there
