nFellow-couutrym Now That the
olcht political contest through which
fhe country has recently passed, Is
tnded, and the people nave once more
reumed their ordinary avOcations and
nhte settled down 20 everyday bust
mess Of life. IL may not be out OF place
TO Address you, partly 10 SUM up the
fesnlts OF your noble Lahore in the
Cause Of equal rights TO all men and
pfoteclion TO American labor and
american industries.
You have cause to feel proud OF the
results Of your patriotic hght, even
though victory has not crowned your
Efforts You have demonstrated that
YOU are free and independent men,
above party prejudices, disdaining the
controi Of political bosses and able to
think and act for yourselves when the
Interests Of your race and welfare OF
vonr adopted country are involved
Your heroic BCtiOn has proclaimed 10
tho American psOple that the Irish
vote Is no longer in the pockets o tue
politicel demag igue5, many of them
not of our race, who pedd Ell and bar
tered II to gain their selfish aud UNI
worthy ENDS. Look back TO the days
: ofslavery, the wages OF labor then and
now The nations prosperity during
Z these twenty-four years Il the admira-
ton of civilization, and Is in very
treat measure due TO our protective
tariif which has been the cause Of lift
ing into prominence the manuiae-
turing centers Of the West aud the

The North and the Eat. Shall these
Industries be allowed to suffer from
the vaccinations Of free-traders,
Backed by the influence of British gold2
/, Even now from all sides come doubt
and uncertainty. Many OF our
factories are running on
half-time, while numbers are
ment. Trades OF all kiuds are de-
pressed caused in part by over-prOduc-
fion and in part by doubt and uncer-
iainty as TO what action the party who
y are about to assume charge of national
affairs may take ia regard to our tariff
laws.

work in our midst They have gained
!, 3 foothold already in the country, 8
fact made manifest by the eXultatlon
OF the English journals over the result
Of tho late election. We need no othel
warning than this to stimulate us to re
newed vigilance. Let usthen organic
III every state of the Union. Now Il
the time to show our patriotism anC
N Drove that il Is not the mere emolu
- nlents of Office that inspire us to &C
ton. Let US show TO our fellow-citi
Gems that we are men iit TO be trusted

The country at heart. Although W

principles for which we strug
" e'ed so maniully are deepl,
eAted in the hearts OF the American
people, and will yet be vlndicated b!
