ENGLISH ARGUMENT ON IRISH
SOIL:

SOIL"
The picture is in the form of two shields;
SOIL" being the left, and showing the six

her "Civilizing G? Influence
EVICTION.
In the upper left corner is an eviction
scene, showing the "Crowbar Brigade n
their congenial occupation of destruction
and desolation.
FARCE OF TRIAL
OF political prisoners is represented by a
young man, who stands in the dock with a
rope around his neck, while big pompous
wbite-wigged judge, who knows best how
to earn his salary, holds the other end OF
the rope, determined the prisoner shall not
escape his impending fate.
COERCION.
To the right appears the big burly form
of member of the Royal Irish Constabu-
larry throttling weak old man, and hold
ing over his head the authority for his bru-
tality, club with the word COERCION
on. Typical of the suppression of free
speech ard lawful assembly, and re-
hinder of the odious days Of "Buckshot
Forster" and the Walls of Kilmainham.
THE CONVICT SHIP.
Is seen, with Van Diemen's Land in the
distance, awaiting. the arrival of the brave
and true hearts whose love of country has
consigned them to that worst Of living
deaths-Irish exile in British penal COL
ony.
THE TRAITOR.
In the lower left corner lis the perjured
traitor, who, while in the witness box,
clinches in his hand the bag of British gold
whose every crown represents the Judas
price Of an innocent heart.
FAMINE.
In the lower right corner is the black
famine of AZ, the hellish work of an Eng
lish government in an effort to extermin-
ate people it could not subdue. Nature,
while not bounteous in her productions, had
yielded enough to sustain the people who
with famished eyes were obliged to see the
fruits of their labor exported to an En-
glish market to swell the purse Of absent
landlords.
THE SWORD.
Columbia is in the act Of presenting the
sword to Erin, and says: "Try this! In
it found my deliverance." Erin has just
arisen, her harp falling by her side, and,
in supreme effort swapping her chains,
with spirit of determination she extends
her hand to grasp the proffered sword
The two shields are Joined by the Amer
lean. and Irish flags draped in graceful folds;
above them the American she'd, and over
that
ttGOD SAVE IRELAND"
Beneath the flags is a banner having a
wreath of laurel, tied with a blood-stained
ribbon, within which are the names of the
Manchester Martyrs
ALLEN, LARKIN AND O'BRIEN.
The American shield is entw;ned with
rel white and blue, and shamrocks; the
Irish shield with the green and orange and
shamrocks.
The scenes are beautifully blended in
eleven shades and it is the best product Of
the Forbes Lithograph Manufacturing Co.,
of Boston. The picture is printed on best
stock Goo lbs), SIZE 23Ax31M,
making grand effect for framing.
NATIONAL INDEPENDENCE.
Above Erin in the distance, advancing to
her aid, marches body Of men, swearing
by the sword, eternal fealty to their stand
ard, which bears the battle cry: IRE
LAND A NATION" Nothing short of
IRISH NATIONAL INDEPENDENCE
will sheath that sword. No provincial gov
no compromise with tyranny;
a nations redemption--or a soldiers
grave.
