Daniel OConnsll an English free-tradsrl What
an abominable Islander upon our kerry Eagle"
Born, as was, within few miles Of the homo
OF OConuell, and intimately acquainted as
was with "Dan" and his children, hurl back
this foul SANDER in the face of the Sentinel and
say You lie As remember well, in the month
of April, l843. OCopnell wrote thus Of the Of
fects Of protective tariff in Ireland:
Manufactures were fostered and rewarded; com
merce increased and ertended; the value of
lands and houses was doubled; all rents were
the community shared in the general welfars and
looked forward the future with the pleasing hope
of bringing up their children to still better tmes and
greater prosperity.
This man an English free -sraderl This man
in favor of taking away protection from the
industries Of Ireland! Reader, listen to what
O'Connell, the Kerry Eagle, says of the effects
of q tariff for revenue only on Ireland. These
are his exact words:
It has extinguished all the Irish manufactures
tinguished all il has made the exports of
Ireland consist of provisions and cattle, and her i'm
ports of goods manufactured for her BY foreigners il
has covered the land with poverty. misery and dest
tuition; it has produced the astounding spectacle of
1883 900 psupers. being more than one-fourth the
population of the most fruitful nation on the globe
The Repeal Petition from which quote
will be found in full in Montgomery Martins
"Ireland-Before and After the Union" That
petition was written by Daniel OConnelI; it
was signed by 100000 Of Irishmen, including
bishops. priests, peers, peasants, all true Irish
men. Now did they speak the TRUTH If they
did, free trade is the causs of Ireland's ruin,
trader Either O'Counell and the 5000, 900 of
Irishmsn who signed that petition lied. or else
Frank Hurd and the indianapolis Sentinel lie
like the father of lies.
Five millions Of Irishmen, with Daniel OCon-
nell at their head tell as that under a protect
i've tariff, "All rents were paid BY prosperous
tenants" and that, under free trade, .All is
pauperism poverty, misery, eviction. and poor
houses And still the lying English free trader
free-;rader. All this is dirty work; a mere dis
gnise in which devils Turk. 1t Is an attempt to
turn our attention from the palpa-
bic fact that Grover Cleveland is
an Englishman in everything but
the mere accident of birth; it is an attempt TO
shut Irishmen's eyes to tho dirty buse which
England is now heaping on Gen. Ben Harrison
it is trick to get Irish-Americans to vote
against Tom Chandler, who employs 300 men
and feeds about 800 persons. and for attorney
Bynum who never never fed or enjoyed man,
woman or child. Chandler. a mechanic who
employs 300 mechanics, is here pitted against
Byuum the lawyer who cares nothing for la
