for their leaving America. The answer
that almost all Of thom gave mo was food
for n great deal of reflection. 1t was this:
That America was no fit place for a work
ingman to live in; that its Wanted and
much talked Of freedom was "a lie; that
when laboring men were struggling for
the right to live they were shot and crushed
down by the military with moro morCilCSs
ness and for less provocation than they
would be under the most despotic and
ruthless government in Europe. This was
the substance of what they said. l am
sorry II any of the readers Of this letter
will take offense at what l have just writ

fore left New York the editor asked mo
to find out why the steeraGo passengers
were leaving tho country, and am mere
ly tho reporter OF fact. OF course it is
only just to say that two or three of the
Irishmen wcro only going over on visit
for month or so To Ireland. When
talked to them, they told mo that they
liked America, but that 1t wasn't any
thing near so good place to live in as 1t
was some years back.
