Cold STANDARD.

Ireland's population continues to
decline. The official figures for
last year are 4,560,379. In 1915
they were 1926, 061, falling below
100000 in 1850, below 100000
in 1856. and below 100000 In
1891 The excess of births over
deaths last year was 81 ,941, and the
loss by emigration 3S, 995. Nearly
all the emigrants were in the prime
of life. The extremely poor crops
this year will increase the emigra-
ton and the island will suffer a
rtherdecline in population. Per
haps the recent visit of the Duke
and Duches of York will be of ben
eft to Ireland, but its unfayorable
conditions are deep seated. Pow
erty is its portion always and fam
inc threatens it with deplorable
frequency.
The above clipping is from that
well known Republican paper the
Charleston Tribune. If its accomp-
lfshed Editor will read a news
pamphlet by Archbishop Walsh,
of Dublin, Ireland, entitled bi-metal-
lism and monometallism, he will
discover the cause of the decline in
the population and the pauperism
of the Emerald Use to consist in the
Gold Standard policy of England,
a policy that as Blaine SO truly
said had forced the masses of her
people into a hopeless and helpless
poverty"
He will also discover upon inves-
tigation that the masses of our
own people are being driven into
the same condition, with no coun-
try to fee to for refuge. No man
can sympathise with Ireland and
vote for the Gold Standard. In
fact no honest man, no man who
believes in equality of men before
the law, who does not desire to see
the toiling millions in our land at
least subsist, who does not wish to
see the entire property of our coun-
try pass into the hands of few
and the people become merely ten
ants ito a horde of petty tyrants, "
would ever for moment think OF
voting for the Gold Standard.
