THE ALLIANCE-INDEPENDENT.
BOUND TO 1 PARTY.
Treasurer Lyman of the Irish National
League Issues An Address to the
Irish Voters of America
BOTH OLD PARTIES DENOUNCED.
The Irish Voter Urged to Act Indepen
dently, and No Longer Be the
Plaything of the Old Parties
Treasurer Lyman's Manifesto.
New York, Oct. 23. The following
has been issued by the treasurer of the
Irish National league of America:
To the Irish American population and
especially to the Irish Nationalists
Since the begining of the presidentia
campaign we nave noucea, irom time
to time, addresses from committees
and associations of Irishmen or Irish-
Americans and opinions of certain in
aiviauais oi me lrisn race wnicn we
think call for no uncertain protest from
the Irish people of this country. Ar
rayed on the side of either political
party we nna these committees and
associations and individuals whose sole
aim seems to be to make either the re
publican or the democratic party, as
the case may be, believe that they have
the power to move the Irish vote in
tho desired direction according to their
ideas and affiliations.
"The Irish vote," cries one at repub
lican headquarters, "is safe.t' There
never was a larger rally of Irishmen
beneath the republican standard."
"Irishmen, since the time of Wol
Tone," proclaims the time-server a
democratic headquarters, "have been
with the democrats and never so much
as now." Both announce their absolute
power to trot up the Irishmen to the
polliog booths.
It is time this sort of thing should
como to an end. We hear very little
from either the republicans or demo
crats about Ireland or Irishmen except
uuring these political campaigns, when
the candidates usually profess undying
love for Ireland and her cause and have
their friends make up the ir old plati
tudes intendid first, latt and all the
time for political effect. Why, then,
should men posing as Irishmen set
themselves up as public auctioneers
far the votes of th-ir countrymen. Why
should the loves and aspirations of
Irishmen for their unhappy country be
forced into us 3 in a political game of
battledore and shuttlecock in order
that a few may have their own ambi
tions gratified.
What would the shades of O'Connell
or Parnell and a host of other Irish
patriots who served Ireland, not for
self, say if they could oversee their
p'ctures hanging around on the walls
ot the rooms oi the anti-.Brmsh league
in the Ashland house or at the demo
cratic union on Broadway for p . lit.ical
effect i r many a presidential election
The Irish voters of thi-j country are
too intelligent to be hoodwinked by
ignoble devices and will cast their votes
as Americans and not a; tho tools of
designing mn.
Tuesi party leaders, furthermore, are
merely hoodwinking the political par
ties. They have no more influence
over the Irish votes in this country
than have the E-squimaux recently
brought for exhibition in Chicago.
Irish nationalists, men who have love
of your native Ireland at heart, resent
tha insult to your country and Tour
race poured upon you by the political
tricksters on both sides who would
make Americans believe that you are
devoid of both intelligence and self-
respect, a commodity to be bought and
i sold. Wm. Lyman,

Morton & Crounse Arguments (?).
Kearney, Nebr., Oct. 17, 1892.
J. Sterling Morton has a pet illustra
tion which he uses in every speech he
makes, to prove that hard money is the
only safe money for the people; and I
see that Crounse has adopted it. It is
this: "Suppose there are three men
stopping at the same house. One has
one thousand dollars in gold, one one
thousand dollars in silver, and the
ether, one thousand dollars in paper.
Now, if, while they are all asleep, the
house should take fire and all of them
should forget their money and allow it
to burn, then," says -Morton, "the
man with the silver and Vie man with
the gold would go and get thtir metal
money out of the ashf s, while the man
who had the paper would 6hed great
tears because his was lost." At the
conclusion of this brain-racking and
heart -rendiDg story, republicans and
democrats burst into wild and ecstatic
applause, while Moiton andCrounso
stand and look wise, and seem to imag
ine the bottom has ail fallen out of the
paper money theory.
To what extremes must parties be
driven when men of the intelligence o
Morton and Crounse descend to such
wretched nonsense! If we are to draw
on our imagination, suppose there are
three men, each with one thousand dol
lars of silver, gold and paper, respect
ively. 1 hey ail go out to sea in a smal
boat, and while out, all drop their
pocket books in the sea. The silver
and gold go to tbe bottom; the paper
will noat, and, therefore, the man with
the paper would wear a smile, while
Morton's fellows would shed greal
tears because they did not have paper
The man who would use either of the
above supposed cases to bolster up his
theory is hard pushed for argument,
for there is nothing, absolutely nothing
in them Such argument remind me
of a storv: A eirl was sittinsr in one of
the old fashioned, houses in front of a
great log fire," surrounded by her fath
er's family. All at once she burst into
a flood of tears, and would not be com
forted. When her mother insisted on
knowing the cause of her grief, she
said: "I was just thinkiDg if I should
get married and should have a baby,
and it would fall in the fire and get
burned up, I just know it would break
my poor heart."
This young lady must have been
born under the same star as Morton &
Crounse, as she reasoned in the same
line as they. Respectfully,
W. L. Greene.
