| IL. A National Industrial Board
should be formed to look after these
and similar matters. Suitable build
ings on systematic business lines APP
proved by this Board should be
erected in cities and towns.
II. Parish priests should CO.
operate with Poor Law Guard
ians and Local Government Board,
and all should co operate with the.
National Industrial Board in estab-
fishing knitting or WOODEN or cotton
or paper factories or other enterpris-
es. If handled automatically land
lords might be induced to turn land
purchase money to Investments in
local factories. Just let these con-
Germs be started on safe business
basis and many of these would heav-
lily invest.
ID. ENJOYS from the Irish ma
ton are coming over with their last
appeal for Parliamentary Funds, SO
we are told. Well let them have this
help as it is to be their last appeal.
But more effective appealwould be
for funds for the Industrial Revival.
The Irish County Associations and
the Irish Societies would respond to
such an appeal on assurance of bust
ness. But the Irish nation must
bestir itself and make the start, and
on good showing, cooperation on
this side will not be wanting. Now
is the time while the ENJOYS are
holding conventions, and while the
Worlds Fair is open, to arrange for
material or capital for we have both.
IA. Then American improved
machinery and methods should be
used as of acknowledged superior
ity, in order to give the Irish pro-
duct q stamp superior to the Eng
lish. The Irish are now educated
They are enthused by the success of
their kindred in this country. Skill
and genius and enterprise are still
talive in Ireland as may be witnessed
at the Worlds Fair, and of this we
Justly feel proud.
10. read DR.. Hogan's scathing
exposure of the Protestant minority
monopolizing offices. But what can
be effectively done about it? In
stead of wasting time talking and
agitating would say Ego to work. :"
Organize and work unitedly for the
upbuilding of the nation. Instead
of using efforts to GUST the present
occupants from office, rather create
new Offices of greater emolument
under the Industrial revival. A
thousand men assembled to denounce
this office infamy, or getting their
shillalahs ready to rectify these
abuses as mentioned by DR.. Hogan,
would be far better employed, if
they devote and donate such time to
building a factory. A thousand
mems labor even for day if proper
ly directed could be of national
worth.
| Is. would also suggest that an
Arbitration Board be established to
regulate quarrels and to prevent
strikes, SO rs to give confidence to
capital and to secure prosperity and
its perpetuity.
| II. To promote Home Rule
would suggest that all the men OF
| fighting age, and youths soon to be,
would sign o mutual pledge that
they will not fight for England un-
less she grants them Home Rule or
their rights. Such pledge would
be more efficacious than 10000
| speeches. The signing could be eff
fected in one week under proper
management. Every mothers son
of them should sign and COM
mencement should be made in the
/ North.
| Is. Even now Professor Gold
win Smith, the noted economist and
publicist, writes from Toronto in
favor of Home Rule. "As often as
visit Canada, and see the happiness
and prosperity of her people I am
surprised that English Statesmen dc
not see that by giving Ireland sell
government and peasant proprietor
ship of land as Canada has, they
would be redressing her just griev-
ance and rendering her one Of the
most happy and prosperous of ma.
tions." Methinks hear you say that
English statesmen have not been, as
a rule, much worried in seeking
, means to secure Ireland's happiness
, and prosperity, except sush as fire,
sword. confscation and bad laws
have secured, as may be seen in re.
viewing the history of Armagh
Quite true, but better days have
{ come. England now realizes hel
mistaken policy. That policy has
placed ten millions of Irish in this
! land-a solid phalanx against her
!. IT'S q historical fact that Irish sol
diers won England's battles, ane
!, when European war breaks out
!, perhaps soon the recruiting scr.
geant from the hilltops sees bullock,
! in the place Of stalwart men, anc
! those Irish who remain are going tc
pledge themselves neverto raise theil
strong arm for their oppressor al
long as he withholds from then
|, : their God given rights.
