ell replying to tho addresses spoke as follows i regret that my power of language is not sufficient to convey to you my appreciation of the kindness and honor that you have dnne mo in meeting me this morning 1 feel indebted to you individually und collect tively It has always been a great pleasure to me to come to the United State America I could have wished that the circumstance attending our native land were of a more happy and prosperous char cer but wo must hope ard believe that the time is spproac ig when we may be able to speak of Ireland as other men sptak of their own country and that we may be abl to speak of her as really and truly among the nations of the earth As > ou have very well express d in your addresses our task is ala double character We have to aim against a system which cause discontent and suffering in our country and we have to ouacaTor to break d wn that system and wth Gods help wo arc determined to break it down We havo also to see that victims of the system are not suffered to perish in the meanwhile We are to take cue that the united st ngth of oar people is not broken and that now when tbo opportunity has really COW for a solution of one ot the leading questions in Ireland that the opportunity may not bo lost The physical suffering and mhery and starvation of large portions por-tions of our populati n in Ireland has not been exaggerated We have been calling upon government for eight months to relieve re-lieve that distress But it has only been within tho last few days that the Irih government has agreed to admit any distress This was brought to their notiuo by a letter from the Dache of Marl brough wife of tho Lord Lieutenant which stated that there was going to be famine fa-mine and dire distress during the coming winter It is what we havo warned the government and our peep e at home and abroadfor sometime nnd only now that it is too well spread for almost effectual remedy do these rulers in England appear ap-pear to understand at all their responsibility responsi-bility We who have been working at this grea land question and have taken the responsibility off the shoulders of the government have not up to tho present made any anpsal to gcveinme tfrlhe reiefof thn destitution Ireland but we fed bst we cant longer shut our eyes to the terrible peril that is approaching ap-proaching and we thnk we ought to put the case before cur own countrymen both at home and here in America and endeavor to enlist sympathy sym-pathy wth our efforts We believe in this country the sympathy accorded will be generous and noble Despite the effurts of the Engl sli pros to depreciate the merit of the American nation we know full well our countrymen in America Amer-ica will do their duty as they have in every clime to their suffering brethren at home In brief I confidently anticpate ika result of our mission 1 believe the result Will be ef such n naturn as to give pleasure to us and also give help to our ptople at hi me and I can only conclude con-clude by a ain asking you to believe I thank you mo t heartily for your great kindness in meeting us on the threshold America I again thank you Parnell in an interview says I consider con-sider the Britih govcrt mont ought to re litvethe distress in Ireland and we have been watching and waiting to see whether I the government would fulfil its duty in I this resp > ct finding that it did not the Land Lcagc decided just before I left Irelandto receive stibsc riptions forlhc distress dis-tress and we feel ourselves compelled to say although our primary object is to raise money in aid of the Land L ° ague that if any charitable Kmer ci 1Tdcsire to entrust us with funds for the relief of the poor Ireland wo shal ba happy to receive re-ceive and apply tho money through our local organizations according to the wishes of the donors but it wuld not be necessary for me to come to America simply to ask for assistance for stressed Irih America would send relief eoun as she knew of the distress Jn the f mine of 47 ho sent assistance before England aud did the same this time Larnell into dj in a Iccurc to give a brief history of the land question to the present time and a description of the rise and progess of the present land government govern-ment Ho adds I expect to reuse n in New York a tiw days to attend a meeting meet-ing which 1 understand has been arranged ar-ranged for After that much will depend de-pend on the plans made frs by American Ameri-can commifees but I expect to go next to Boston then to Philadelphia after whch I shall go short a scuth distauci and work found to St Louis Then shall probably go to Chicago From t is point my pans are uncertain as I wsh to go to Canada and San Fmnchco and do not know whether can do bosh Mr Dillon will accompany me throughout and I hopa to bo able to induce him to remain behind when leave America to continue the work but my return will depend on events at home |
