AN APPEAL FOR IRELAND Irish National Federation of
 America Speaks TO ALL TRUE SONS OF ERIN Home Rule Must Be Had and Financial Sup port Is Essential to Accomplish
 the Desired Result.

New York, June 27-The following ap- peal is issued by the Irish National Fed eration of America in response to an ur- gent appeal from the Irish national party:
 "The liberal ministry has resigned. Ire- land is once more to face the authorities of the policy of coercion and landlord rule.
 'The long pending dissolution of the British parliament will follow quieklyt From the hour when the house of lords rejected the home rule bill it was inev- itable. Good faith to the liberal constit- uencies demanded that the liberal minis try could not resign without an effort to pass the other reformatory measures embodied in the Newcastle programme.
 'The Irish party has kept faith in let ter and spirit under very trying circum- stances with the liberal party and per formed their share of the compact, viz Mutual support on the passage of re- formatory measures for Great Britain and Irish home rule to have first place. Pend ing dissolution the Irish party obtained commission on the financial relations of Great Britain and Ireland whose rep resentatives establish the injustice of past returns and will save Ireland mill lions of revenue in the future. The re- port of the land commission establishes beyond question the landlord robberies of the past and confirms to the tenant the absolute ownership of all improvements made since 1850 They have also effected the release Of large umber of the Irish political prisoners. In Ireland the strife and heated partisanship witnessed at the last general election has been largely all layed by the pacific, prudent and intelli- mi 1 alE of hn 1fic sfxy fn hn people, The unionists of the north have a common interest in the de- mands, and demand a common protec- tion from the rapacity of the landlords, and large meetings, composed entirely of former political opponents, have indorsed the Irish party.
 "Thus has the political atmosphere been cleared and the Irish cause strengthened in the interim between the rejection of the home rule bill and dis solution Ireland is today in better posi- tion to force her claim for home rule than ever before With the liberal party pledged>to the support of home rule in the future England can have no stable government and know no peace until Ireland is accorded the right of self government. The depression in business has deprived the Irish party of the finan- cial support hitherto obtained from our countrymen in Australia, Canada and
 
 have made great sacrifices to maintain the contest from their slender resources; the cost of general cleo tion demands immediate finan- cial support to enable them to go back with an increased vote to hold the bal ance of power again in the next parla- ment and wiring from tory ministry, if returned the point of home rule bill for consideration.
 'Irishmen and friends of home rule, this work Is worthy of your support.
 "To our wealthy countrymen we ap- peal for liberal contributions.
 "To the branches of the federation for energetic efforts
 "To American Americans for prompt actions
 "To all for such assistance as they can afford.
 "I1e who gives promptly gives doubly
