of her people. And yet there were
four hundred Irish people, young men
and young women, who got into the
steerage of the great vessel in which

low, gentlemen, do not misunder-
stand me. | do not think that it is
undesirable that there hsould be emil

cially | do not think it undesirable
that there should be emigration 10 a
country like this, where there are
such Astounding and unparalleled OPP
portunities for self-advancement as
exist here, in the paths of commerce
in the east, or in the great agricul-
tural plains of the west ofsthe United
States. But emigration may be of
two kinds. The emigrant may be sent
forth from his native land, fully
equipped for the battle of life, with
his intellect trained to its highest de-
velopment, with his hands trained to
their highest of skill, with his soul
hardened in the spirit of s~elf-depend-
ence and of control amid difficulties,
and with his pockets not quite empty
of even a small amount of capital.
Well now, gentlemen, these were
not the circumstances in which Irish
emigration took place to this country,
at least in the early days of the emil
grafton. We sent forth our people
from the Irish shores, from poorly
equipped schools. They came usually
ruined and bankrupt men, who had
already had one failure and disaster
in their lives. Many of them had to

negotiations. If the voice of Amer

doubt how these negotiations will end

in peace-but if we have the voice of
America on our side, loud, clear, un-
mistakable, expressing what l know
to be practically the unanimous
American opinion in favor of the re-
