We shall here show the places cf English
Free Traders and Eoglish Prot ectionists.
Eaglish Free Traders are the saTe men

Ths Tories Of England have opposed
Frsr Trade n they have opposed Irish
Home Rlle. Ths strength Of Free Trade
in Eogjand has bsea the Liberal party, the
friends OF Irish Home Ruls. To-day the

opponents Of Irish Home Rule.

IN speech delivered in Lseds in 1881 Mr..

Isit possible then, in ths face of these
words on tee greatest statesman Of Eog-
bns. tn England is striving to break
down our protective system? Is it posi-
be that RspubEcirs Caa tell Irish 'Aueri
aus that their friends in Ecglaud are the
English pro.Cctionis's?
Forty years ago, when the great contest
10. the repsa, of tie com laws WAS raging
n England, DANIEL O'CoNNELL, the
gceat Ir.h PatIiD., made speech from
whcl We take the following extract:

Ia0orins cla,sss in Ireland was ahjscs sla-
very; bad a. it is to-day, compared with
the condition Of the working man IN
Ame.ira, it is baopin,sl i,ssif compared to
what Il used TO be.
Lcs Irish-AmelicI Ius always keep in
niad that tie Liberal party in England is
th, oaly Elglisa party which has ever
been wil!iog to DO justice to Iralani, and
t1aJ the Toy party has oppose Fres Trade
- it has opposed LISA home rule.
4 ths same ticle they will bear in mind
that politics in Eng'ald have nothing to
do wi h tie polit Cs of the Ulitsd States.
