THE DUBLIN ExPosTION.
A R~eiteration Of the charge Thst the Irish
Dlsappr0ve Il.

To TEE EDITOR OF THE SUN-Sir: A cor
respondent has endeavored to represent that
the coming international exhibition in Dub
lin, 1907. is approved by the Irish people.
The following is an excerpt Of a resolution
recently adopted by the Ard-Fheis OF the
Gaelic League:
That this Ard. representing the various
bodies of the Gaelic League throughout ireland,
reafn the resolution OF the -Fhels OF 1906,
cOndemnIng the proposed International exhibition
as being detrimental 10 the struggling Industries
Of the country and the rest interests Il trade IN
ireland.
Similar sentiments are contained In reso-
lutions adopted by the Dublin Corporation.
the Irish Parliamentary Party. the Dublin
Industrial Development Association. the Gen.
eral Council Of County Councils. the Boards
OF Guardians, and nc a great mass meet
ing OF the citizens OF Dublin. In America
it has also been universally condemned.
viz: at q great mass meeting in st. Louis.
which was followed by criticisms In all the
Sc. Louis papers, which characterized it a.
a fake" and a fraud: by the United Irish
American Societies of New York. by the
National Convention OF the Ancient Order OF
Hlbernians held at Saratoga last August. at
wae refused to the Rev. p. J. Lally. a special
emissary, and by every Irish American jour
nal throughout the United States.
The contractors to the exhibition are Hum.
phreys, Limited, London. and they guaran-
teed sl25 600, almost one-sixth OF the entire
amount. This firm obtained the contract
without competition. II has masdueraded "a
an irish firm and has established an ONCE in
Dublin. IL imports into Ireland English
goods and attaches upon them Irish labels
to fool the people. Last May q clerk in the
employment OF the Great Central Railroad
Company supplied Slim Fein. an Irish weekly
journal. with a copy of the following letter:
DEAR SRs: Yesterday our London works for
wsrded materials for a building addressed Hum

very important that no English marks or delivery
Instructions should appear. and we therefore en-
close some OF our Dublin labels. which please at
tach. HUMPHREYS, LIMITED.
a. CLARKE.
The clerk who furnished this letter was
discharged. The Dublin Development Assoc
citation, a popular business body. has since
expelled Humphreys. Limited. The British
Foreign ONCE made representations to the
different countries in favor OF the exhibition.
At the request Of the National Council. which
is the executive of the great Sim Fem move
ment, several Governments have refused TO
exhibit.
July 1, 1908. was the final day for entering
exhibits and up to that time only four Irish
manufacturers had applied for space. This
exhibition has been foisted upon the Irish
people by a clique OF men whom Sir William
Goulding. one of their number, describes as
"England's faithful garrison in Ireland,
