Editor OF the Irish Standard:
When the Irish in America read in
your paper OF the legislative union
between Great Britain and ireland and
see how easily lrcland's independence
was lost, do they ever reflect that their
new liberty i'll America may be lost as
easily and themselves become British
subjects again? Suppose Mckinley and
the desperate gang OF pirates surround
ing him conclude to make demonctiza-
ton sure: does any one imagine for a
moment that they would not rather see
this republic again an English colony
than that their schemes OF plumber
should be thwartcd? Docs any one
imagine that Vanderbilt and others who
hire the Cleveland street mobility to
marry their daughters arc not enemies
OF a republican form OF government?
What is the purpose OF the persistent
talk OF such lickspittlcr OF the Sodom-
ite mobility" OF England as Captain
Mahan about an understanding
drawing together an Entertaining
of hags?" What means the zeal OF
Lord 'Ay" the foul criminal against
our own and the Beers independence?
What means the statement that the
president "may trade part OF Alaska"
for the right to do as VIC will with our
own canal? What means the speech
Of Capt Cog|1'a11 III Tl1,ii;Ira taking TO
task those who call themselves Irish
Americans and Americans, a
mere convenience to avoid longer
description? What means Admiral
Dcwcy's statement that we ought not
to fortify Our own canal? These things
may be interpreted in the light OF a
programme laid down in Blackwoods
(Tory) magazine i'll the year 1856, in an
article headed Expectations on the
Future: Our Alliances" 1t was just
after the Crimcan war and England saw
she had worked her "bunko game" in
Europe for the last time and must
seek alliances elsewhere. The author
pointed to New Zealand, Canada and
the United States. He told that Rus
STA was coming down by way OF Alaska
to finish lis, and VIC needed England's
help. Our civil war interrupted the
program, England thought she saw
shorter cut to our ruin and tried to
make it; Russia sent her fleet to New
York and saved Our Union, an act for
which Mckinley is returning "Punic
Faith"-and Russia also sold out her
American possessions and got out OF
our way. But England is in Rothschild's
grip, lie directs her policy, and Jews
are pcrtinacious. The so-callcd bull
dog tenacity OF the English is the in
nate pcrtnacity of the Jew, who never
learns and never forgcts. They arc pit
ting the sections of the white race
against Gael, other and as sure that they
will destroy or rule over them all as
they were two or three thousand years
ago. The writer in Blackwood asked
when Will America take sides with
us"-thc object being to make us save
England's Chinese chcstnuts from Rus.
STA. The answer was: whenever it is
to her interest to do So" This is why
an English cmissary wrote the bill de-
monctizing silver and came with five
hundred thousand dollars slush funds
and put it through. This is why the
traitor Mahan is working for an Gun
Outstanding" This is why Hanna came
back from getting his money and or
dcrs from Rothschild last summer and
said Eng1and's government is perhaps
little better than ours" And before
Coghlan and Dewey said what they did

believe that officers OF our navy have
