Theater, Feb. q, 1886. Mcdonnell Bros,
Chicago.
America, even from It's earliest colonial
times, has ever been n favorite country OF
the Irish, expatriated by oppression from
their own beautiful isle. Many Of this true
hearted and energetic race have resorted
hither, and the number ARRIVING In late
years continually increases. Thus Ireland
has become power in America. not only
strongly influencing our land Of freedom,
but inspiring and marshaling the way to
freedom among their former relatives aud
companions TAT hofhe.n The history OF
these things, with official statistics, is given
in this lecture by our enthusiastic metro
politan mayor, and cannot fail TO be deeply
interesting 10 majority OF our fellow citi-

Irish blood, or, at least, is not proud to

Free Traders False Pretonsos,

A free trade contemporary informs us
that the manufacturers Of wooden goods are
almost unanimously of the opinion that
free wool would enable our manufactures
to compete in foreign markets.
This attempt to obtain reduction of the
tariff under false pretenses is repeated
again and again.
The false assertion that our mluufac-
lures are shut out OF foreign markets by the
high tariff continues to be made in and out
of Congress, in face Of the fact that all i'm
ported materials used In manufacturing for
the export trade are already duty free, and
have been for years past.
Sections 30l9 aud 1920, United States Re-
vised Statutes, provide for the remission OF
duties on all foreign materials used in
manufacturing for the export trade.
All articles the law says, manufactured
for export from imported materials, upon
which duties have been paid, shall, when
exported, be entitled to drawback of 80
per cent Of the duties paid.
The duties RENTED In 1884 on imported
tin plates used in manufacturing tinware
for foreign markets amounted to SSl0,377;
on raw sugar refined and exported, 1854 1855,
molasses, S16S, 410; steel and iron, $lls,979;
copper, s24, $50; wool, $23, 4s5; lead, $0,23s,
and lumber, Sl2,416.
Tho total .-~--i--i ..sNt. rlf 'IIIanuIaCTtIf1ns
for foreign markets amounted to s., 25j, 633,
and yet we are told that we cannot manu-.
facture for foreign markets on account Of
the high tariff on raw materials!
These free traders know very well that
the United States has never imposed tarr
duties on unprecedented for consumption
beyond our own boundaries.
The first tariff law, signed by President
Washington July 4, 1889, provided that all
goods imported for consumption in foreign
countries should, when exported, he entitled
to drawback OF 90 per cent. OF the duties
paid. And the principle then established
has since been applied to all imported ar
tcles used in manufacturing for the export
trade, the drawback varying from 90 to 90
percent. on different articles.
1t has from the first been the object Of
our government to keep its export trade
free from vexatlous aud embarrassing re-
strictions. Our tariff aud internal revenue
laws interpose no obstacles to the pur-
chase OF raw materials. AS matter Of fact,
however, more than 90 percent. of their ma
terials are produced here at home.

Breakfast Table Letter to the presiden.

Mr.. President: The necessity for better
distribution ofthe colored population from the
districts in the south where they equal or
largely exceed the whites is admitted by
students of our political economy in every por.
tion of the country.
Whatever direction this distribution may
take, It must be ole of free will. Senator
Morgan, of Alabama, suggests emigration of
the race to Africa. For many years this plan
was ably discussed; 1t has been tried and has
failed. During this period the natural tendency
ofcolored men has been. like the whites, to seek
new homes where opportunity may be given
to better their condition, both rs to political
rights and material prosperity. Our forerathers,
who came in the Maylowcr. were actuated by
the same motives; Roger Williams was in.
fpired by the same idea when he left tho
colony of Massachusetts, and settled In Rhode
Island. The same governing principle has
operated I'm the settlement of tho states and
territories from the Atlantic to the Pacific
coast. All result of the exercise of the free.
dom OF choice.
The force Of political necessity, the power
and demands Of organized labor, the love Of
liberty, all combine to work out the problem
of the redistribution of the colored population
within the area Of the United States
1t is impossible TO resist these natural and
mighty forces; and in republican govern.
ment, sooner or later, It's statesmen Will com.
prehend its absolute necessity and govern
themselves accordingly.
The supreme moment for statesmen power
to take the lead in the solution of the problem
Is now.
In former letter you were invited TO COM
mend the question to the attention of Congress
by special message, and recommend an appro.
ration Of money to assist the colored man In
this new departure. While this is under con.
sideration, would you not lend the influence
Of Your great position by subscribing 10 tho
capital stock OF an association OF patriotic aud
good citizens, who may desire, upon sound
business principles, without even the element
of charity, to incorporate a Internationally
ment bureau that will render aid by tho pur.
chase Of large tracts Of land in different states
and territories TO provide homes for
colored citizens who may decide to settle
hereon, and assist them BY loan In tran3portl.

THE action of the Senate committee on
the judiciary yesterday upon the bill pro-
viding for closing up the business and pay

ordinary importance. Tho proposed

the sense Of the committee in favor Of in
