HEN C0l. Thomas III. Is. Staggers,
of Fairmont, said in his Tunnelton
speech that England had destroyed
the industries Of Ireland by free trade, F"
it was evident that Col. Staggcrs was
not posted on the history of Ireland.
Irelrnd's manufacturing interests were
ruined by the English protective sys-
tenn. BY this English protective sys-
tenn, Ireland was forbidded to sell her
products to America, Asia and the
Mediterranean ports. Glass made in
Ireland WIS not permitted to be ship
ped from the country at all. The ex-
portation of live cattle was declared to
be unlawful On colored linens and
most kinds of wooden goods, which
Col. Staggers paid such a high tribute
to, and which he said was destroyed
by free trade" the duties required to
be paid upon their importation into
England from Ireland were prohibitory.
That the Irish people realized the
burdens which protection imposed and
were hostile to the continuance of the
policy was shown by the position they
took with reference to the repeal of Che
Corn Laws. The most convincing
proof of the truth of this statement is
found in the speech of Daniel O'Con-
nell, delivered before the Anti-Corn
Law League, at Covent Garden Theatre
on February 81, 1914. During his
speech Mr.. O'Connell said
eff protection were useful anywhere
it must be peculiarly so in Irelend,
which was nearly altogether an agri-
cultural country. But how had it OPP
Grated on the wages of labor there ?
-Four pence a day was considered good
six pence bountiful, and the agricul-
tural laborer was in ecstasy with eight
pence. Such was the effect of the
Corn Laws in Ireland. And even at
these prices there was want of employ
ment. Ireland, then, was with them
heart and soul in the cause. She had
always been with them on this ques-
ton. + Yes, Ireland was
with them, and the reception which |
have met this night, when heard in
Ireland, would excite no little sense of
qualification in that country. cloud
cheers.) Oh, that shout. 1t will not
be confined 10 the walls of this theatre
ringing through the metropolis, it
will be carried over by the eastern
winds to Ireland 1t will be heard on
the banks of the noble Shannon; it
will mingle with the flow of the More,
the SUR, and the Barrow, and will
bring back as its response an answer
that the people of Ireland will not en-
dure to see their fellow-subjects of
England starved by the cupidity of
the protectionists.
Here is the testimony of Daniel
O'Connell on high protection, and no
one will dare say that he had not the
good of Ireland at heart. If Colonel
Staggers win read the history of Ire
land he will learn that it was the Eng
lish high protective system that "des-
troyed Ireland's industries" and not

that the Republican party would build
around America, would eventually

BREDEMEYER's ALLEGED FAST
A Theory That May Possibly Prove
the True One.

DR.. Bredemeyer has broken his fast.
Yesterday morning he drank a glass of
port wine, ate an egg, small steak,
and cake, giving as his reason there
for that he had received good news
from his wife-"a cheering message"
as he putt. Although his coat does
not fit him with the same precision that
it did before his incarceration in the
PEN, his voice is not impaired and his
nerves seem to be as strong as they
were before he grasped the brilliant idea
that it would be a good thing to starve
mseH to death. There can be no
reason to believe that Bredemeyer has
eaten anythin- since he was incarcer-
ated in the county jail at least; but
there seems to be good grounds for
believing that he has been drinking
from half to three-quarters of pint
of milk each day. A HERALD reporter
yesterday had a talk with the jailo-,
and from him it was learned
that the Doctor had been al
lowed unlimited quantities of water,
for drinking, bathing, etc. So tar as the
jailor was concerned, he did not believe
that Bredemeyer had eaten anything
since he had been a guest of the
county; but as to the milk, he was not
50 sure. Each morning he has taken
to the Doctors cell about one and a
half pints of milk, and each evening
had he carried out the same quantity.
so far as he could judge. Although
the milk was pure and undefiled"
when taken into Bredemeyer's cell, the
jailor seems positive it was not so when
taken out. An examination, ne said,
proved to him, Beyond doubt, that the
Doctor had dran}; from halt to three
quarters Of the milk provided for him
each morning, and had filed the pitcher
up with water.
The Doctor now announces that he
will drink nothing in the way of coffee
save that made from the best brands of
NJ )cha. It looks very much as though
the Doctors funny business" was
really reaching an end.

at the Philharmonic

The members of the Philharmonic
Society and their friends were the re-
cipients of a rare musical tEest last
evening, when Mr.. Carl Fittig, of New
York, famous soloist, faqoyed them
with several either solos r. his hands
the exquisite sweeetness of the instru1
ment was shown in its full perfection
sno for his mastery rendition of the
"Fantasie Concert" he was awarded a
yociferous recall. In response the gen.
tleman gave "Tyrolean Airs" and be-
ing again recalled, responded good
naturally with another beautiful selec-
ton.
The fine capabilities of the either as a
solo instrument are known to but few
here, and it is safe to say that could the
public at large have listened to the
wonderful melody called forth last
evening by Mr., Fittig, it would Ger
tainly enter upon an era of much
greater popularity here.
