THE Irish Volunteers have been called
into existence by the audaclous move
ment Of the Tories OF Great Britain and
the Orangemen of Ulster TO overawe by
armed force the will of Parliament and
the British and Irish democracies
THE Orange movement has been
financed by all the wealthy and aristo-
cratic enemies of popular liberties II

erals of the army and has been further
accompanied by an active and partially
effective campaign to produce such
feeling in the army as would insure that
rebellious body could count on the re-
fusal Of the army to maintain the law.
This body of Orange Volunteers has
now succeeded in arming a considerable
portion of its followers and the people
Of Ireland are faced with an armed force
which threatens to stand between Ireland
and Parliaments decision to give her
liberty.
Such "a movement made IL absolutely
necessary that the Irish people should be
placed In "a position TO defend the country
and defend themselves. Therefore l re-
quest you to appeal to our countrymon
and friends In the United States to aid
In supplying the funds to strengthen the
