of the Irish goods and said: 1--WE cannot
make such cloth in this country. We
cannot give il the color or finish of Irish

When the contractors on a railroad at
Huntsville, Tenn, advertised for 1905
Irishmen, some days ago, there was some
questioning as to why particular nation
atty was wanted. This reason was given
to the Chattanooga Times: They pre-
ferred all Irishmen because they could do,
as rule, great deal more and better
work in q given time than the eolored ma
sons eau do, and in addition TO that they
have the faculty of sticking together until
q Job is completed. The gentleman stated
that the trouble heretofore has been with
negroes ID the summer season, as they are
not ~ a rule willing to work more than
three or four days in the week, and want
the balance Of the week to lay around and
gather blackberries. The Irish laborers,
he said, are decidedly tie best when they
can be secured in large numbers"
Abraham Lincoln once said: "Monar-
chy is sometimes limited at as q possible
refuge from the power of the people. In
nv present position l would be scarcely
justified were l to omit raising q warning
voice against returning despOtism. There
is one point to which l ask attention: 1t Is
the effort to place capital on an equal
footing with, If not above, labor IN the
structure of the Government. bid the
laboring people bsware OF surrenderlng a
power which they already possess, aug
which, when surrendered, will surely be
uaed to close the door of advancement to
such as they, and fix new disabilities and
burdens upon them till all OF liberty shall
be lost"
