stance Of Catholic Intolerance.
The other day in the British House
Of Commons Mr.. Joseph Devlin chal-
lenged the Ulster Orange members to
give one instance Of persecution of
Protestants by Catholics in Ireland.
This is the Orange objection or pre-
tended objection to Home Rule-fear
of persecution by the Catholic ma
jority in an Irish Parliament. But
they have no proofs or facts to justify
such fear. Mr.. Devlin challenged
them for facts-for one fact or case
of persecution.
If" said he. "you impeach race
as being potential prosecutors you
are bound to vindicate your claim by
giving some instance. now state
here in this House, and I repeat a
challenge have made on every plat
form in England, that, instead of
making abstract charges which can
not be met, you should come forward
and give us some instances, give us
even one instance, Of where you can
show that Protestants have been per-
secuted in Ireland for conscience sake
in the memory of any living man. 1t
cannot be DONE"
They could not do it, and they
didn't try to do it. Mr.. Devlin's chal-
lenge was not answered. The Orange
men could not give one case they
could not find one instance-of Pro-
testants in Ireland prosecuted by the
Catholics. 1t has been all the other
way in Irish history. All the perse-
cution in connection with religion
that has ever been in Ireland has beer

ROOSEVELT STARTS THE
 FIGHT OF HIS LIFE.
Opens the Campaign With His Speech
 in Providence Tonight.

Oyster Bay N. r, Aug. 15.-The pres idential campaign of 1912 will be opened tomorrow by Colonel Roose- welt with an address at Providence, R. ]. The colonel today completed his Providence speech and the one which he will deliver at Point of Pines, Mass, on Saturday. When he leaves New York at 1 o'clock tomorrow he will throw himself into what he expects 10 be the hardest fight of his life, which will keep him busy almost con- Etantly until election day. After a few short trips in the east he will start on 2 swing around the country which will last for several weeks.
 Colonel Roosevelt will enter the cam paign with the intent of demonstrat- ing that it is to the progressive party that the country must look for a gen timely progressive administration. He eSpressed the belief today that the democratic party had not placed itself on record squarely for progressive measures, that 1t had no we defined programme to offer, and that Wood row Wilson had not taken a stand for such a programme. The colonel said that he wished to avoid attacking Governor Wilson, although it was his idea that the democratic candidate had not met the issues of the day.
Norwich bulletin., 1912-08-16

1 1t represents special partnerships, and l does not represent the general interest. It is a long time since tariffs were made by men who even supposed that they were seeking to serve the general interests, because tariffs are not made by the general body of members of either house of congress. They have in the past been made by very small groups Individuals in certain cofn- mittees of these houses who even re- fused information to then fellow mem- bers as to the basis upon which they had acted in framing the schedule.
 AIdrich's Weather Eye.
 "One of the gentlemen who have been most conspiouously connected with this thing has in recent years prudontly withdrawn frdn public life. l mean the one-tine senior senator least give MT. Aldrfch the credit of having had a large weather eye. He said that the weather was changing in Rhode Island-even in Rhode Island as well as fin the rest of the Union; that men who had long known he was inAs | posing upon them felt that the limit had been reached. and they were not going to be imposed upon any longer.
 Questions Affecting the Farmer. ]
 Now there are various questions which you gentlemen aught to realize are pending questions directly con- cern the farmers of this country. It makes a great deal of difference to you that MT. Taft the other day vetoed the steel bill. It makes a difference to you in the cost of practically every tool that you use upon the farm and it is very significant, or ought to be very significant, to you that a democratic house of representatives has just pass ed the steel tariff reduction bill over | the presidents veto. thing 1 am in- formed is unprecedented in the history of the country, that a house should have passed the two tarif measures, the wool measure and the steel meas ure, over the veto of he president |, Why? Because these gentlemen know that they are pushing this thing for ward against some of the most power fuI combined interests of the country and that they are under ponds to rep resent the people of the United States and not the special parties in 1t.
 Who Has to Pay2
 Tariff measures are not measures for the merchant, merely for the man. ufacturers. The farmer pays just as big a proportion of the tariff duties aS anybody else. Indeed, sometimes when we are challenged to say who the con- sumner is as contrasted with the pro- ducer so far as the tarfn is concern ed, am tempted to answer The farmer because he does not produce any of the things that get any mate rial benefit from the taF1n, and he con- surnss all of the things which are tax I ed under the tariff system.
 In November, 1912.
 ' believe that there is to be a great. handsome, peaceful, hopeful revolution on the 5th day of November, 1912, and l that after that revolution has been accomplished men will go about their business saying: What was it we feared? We feared chains and we haey won liberty. We feared to touch any thing for fear we should mar it, and now everything wears the bright face of prosperity. and we know that the right is also the profitable think and that nobody can serve a nation with out serving also himself
