form: Better trade relations with the
United States" and expressed his will
tngness to stand or fall with it. They
were not going to approach their neigh
bors to the south in a cringing manner
asking for favors or as annexationists,
but as Canadians and British subjects,
looking for friendly trade relations His
instructions to any committee which
he might send would be to approach the
American government in that spirit, but
said he:
IF they expect or hope for us to go
back on old England, then we will have
to close all negotiations" In reference
to the alien labor law he thought it
unworthy for any civilized nation and
had hoped to see the United States do
away with 1t this year. but instead he
found they were making 1t even stricter,
so that now 1t was almost impossible
for Canadian to obtain work there.
He would make overtures. to the Unit
ed States to have that law repealed,
and IL they refused then, and only then,
would he be in favor of putting It word
for word in our own statutes

BOURKE COCHRAN POINTS A MORA
England Suspected Because She Il Such m
Old Reprobate.


Bourke Cochran was received with
applause which lasted several minutes.
He said in part: THE disgrace brought
on England by her sacrifice Of Justice
has raised the suspicious Of the civil
lied world from which she suffers to-
day. Whenever sic tries to negotiate
with foreign country she is beset with
suspicious of her motives. Recently
when trying to make treaty with this
country she was met at every step by
the question, why does she want this?
England has not come into the forum Of
public opinion with clean hands. Why
do the men at Washington hesitate to
ratify this treaty? A system for the
peaceful solution Of international diff
culties would be a great boon. I would
be the last to object to it.
THE obstacle of barbarity and crime
rises up in the pathway of England,
and bids all the world disrespect her.
If it was proposed to make such a treaty
with France, Germany or Russia, do
you think they would come under any
suspicion? Why, then, do we now sus-
pect England? When we were weak
she attacked US on the high seas. And
when We protested she burned our cap
ital at Washington. We want England
to arbitrate with the weak as well as
the strong. tCheers] We want to be
sure that this is not device to get us
into legal complications and leave her
free to perpetuate fresh outrages in Ire
land or seize upon new territory.
Everywhere in the world England's
influence has been for the best except in
Ireland. 1 want to see universal arbi-
tration, but the time has come for Eng

JOHN z. REDMOND.

advocating the release of the Irish po-
litical prisoners General James r.
O'Brien. president of the Irish Political
Prisoners Association of the United
States, called the meeting to order and
introduced ex-Judge George NJ. Van
Nossen as chairman who, after stating
the object of the meeting, introduced
Redmond. In the course Of his speech
Redmond said: I'VE demand the re-
lease of the Irish political prisoners.
we ask sympathy on the broad grounds;
first of all, that they are political Of
tenders. England has been a
sanctuary for all the political Offenders
of the world. but yet she Furnishes Irish
men to the fullest extent.
Prisoners Are Not Dynamitards.
These prisoners are commonly styled
dynamiters. Not one of those men was
ever tried for dynamite offenses. The
dynamite act was passed in 1883, but
not one of these men was tried under
that, but under the treason-felony act.
which was passed especially for John
Mitchell in 1S4S. These men were
charged with Fenianism, and were in
dicted for waging war on the queen.
1t is arrant hypocrisy for England to
say they are not political prisoners.
That man is not a criminal in
the ordinary sense of the word who
through over-zeal-misguided if yoa
hke-fghts for what he believes. 1t was
impossible for these men at that time
to receive fair trial. All England was
In state Of panic. They were incapa-
Bile of reasoning Alright.
Appeals to American Opinion.
Il appeal to the intelligence Of Amer
lean opinion, which is very potent in
England just now. Recent events have
shown how anxious England is for the
good will of America. If America, either
directly or indirectly, is able to aid us
In this cause I believe she will have
AIDED new laurel to her crown of glory,
and will have earned anew her title as
the defender Of the oppressed in every
clime.'
