During our civil war Mr.. Roebuck, in
and out of parliament, labored for the
Southern Confederacy. II was Mr.. Glad
stone that in 1858. when he was . minister
Of the crown, said in the House of Com
mons, speaking for the government of
Lord Palmerston, "we do not believe that
the restoration of the American Union is
attainable, and We believe that the public
opinion of this country Is unanimous
upon that subject"
The Confederate loan was largely held in
England. Canada was safe asylum from
which issued periodically Confederate
pirates, bank robbers and frebugs; Lord
Harrington wore the Confederate badge
In America; English army officers, like
Colonel Freemantle and Sir Garnet Wolse-
ley. fastened to Lees camp to pay their
military respects. So notorious was Eng
iish sympathy with the South that the
poet Lowell. q patriot then who after
wards became little better than . kind of
tuft hunter and toady in England, wrote:
"Yoar mark was on the guns;
The neutral guns that shot, John:
Our brothers and our sons"
English sympathy official and unofiicial,
with the cause Of the Confederacy took
finally 30 solid form that England paid
$l5,OD,OO0 damages tor the privilege of ex.
pressing her sympathy with Confederacy
whose constitutional bedrock was African
slavery. On the other hand, the United
States promptly suppressed the Fenian
attempts at invasion Of Canada, and our
government has been 50 sternly neutral
between England and Ireland that our
latest treaty of extradition was confirmed
by our Senate in spite Of the protest Of the
Cian-na-Gael element in our politics. Our
people live In q country founded on the
principles of local selfgovernment and are
justified in desiring the triumph of that
principle everywhere and have . right to
express their opinions so long as our gov
eminent remains neutral.
Gladstone has always treated with con.
tempt the protest of the Tories that Eng.
land cannot allow legislation to be
dependent on dynamite funds from
America" The American subscriptions
to aid Ireland after the famine of 1s46-47
have simply been continued since to pro-
mote emigration and to save Ireland from
starvation and the consequences of cease
less evictions. The contributions that be-
gan in charity are now devoted to legiti.
mate agrarian and political ends.
America has done nothing to be ashamed
OF; nothing that England has cause
to resent The home rule fund has received
the countenance Of American opinion of all
parties and the aid of Americans of high
station and character, free even from the
suspicion Of Irish extraction; men like
Samuel J. Tilden, Charles A. Dana, Will.
lam n. Evarts and Chauncey Depew.
1t was an American wit who, when a
Tory Englishman said, "The Irish have
no ground of complaint" replied, "Ex.
actly: they have no ground; the landlords
have got 1t all"
