"What is the use our working
ur fool heads ofT all the-summer
killing grass to grow cotton to buy
hay?" Just that sort of farming
accounts for the fact that the per

the average farmer in the,' State of
Iowa.
The merchant counsels the farm
er to buy at home and then sells

HIE IRISH REOELLiO: mid ins I
By "Ted" Sullivan
Editor The Advance:
There is nothing in history that 1
know of that so parallels the un
fettering of the British manacles by
the Amer.can lovers of freedom in
1776 as the declaration of In
dependence by those immortal
Irishmen of Dublin, who willingly
gave up their lives for Irish free
dom in Dublin, and gave the lie to
those canting English hypocrites
who said Ireland was st 11 satisfied
under the lash and heel of British
tyrrany. This uprising of the Irish
people fcr liberty was net instiga
ted or planned by the scum and
offal of Dublin; tmtv the very
cream of the Irish race in all the
higher and enobling walks of life,
and the caliber of people who
have ever given their countries
liberty.
Their Declaration of Indepen
dence was as follows:
'The Provisional Government of
the Irish Republic to the people of
Ireland:
Irishmen and Irishwomen, in rtie
name of Cod and of the dead gen
erations from which you received
the old trad tions of nationhood,
Ireland. -"through us summons her
th'ldren to her flag and strikes
for her freedom, having organized
'n! twined her manhood through
'cr secret revolution organization
the Pish Republican Brotherhood,
and through her open military or
tavi.iition. the Irish Volunteers
-r.d the Trb'h c Mrrn army.
Having pitiently perfected their
discipline and resolutely waited for
the i-iiitit moment to reveal iself
s-ho now seizes that moment, and
supported by her exiled children In
America, and by her -gallant allies
n Europe by relying on her o n
strength she strikes. In full confi
dence of v'ctory.
p d ebre the right of the peo
ple of Ireland to the ownership of
Ireland and to he unfettered con
trol of Irish destines to be sovereign
and indefeasible. Long usurpa
tion of that rlybt by a foreign pea
pi and govenrnroefit has not ex
tinguished that riMit. nor can H
ever be extinguished except by
the des'ructlon of the Irish peo
ple. In every generation the Irish
peopl have asserted their right to
national freedom and sovereignty.
Six times during the past three
hundred years they have asserted
It 'n arms. Standing on that fun
dnnientnl right, and again assert
ing It in arms In the facf of the
world, we hereby proclaim the
Ir'sh Republic as a sovereign in-
depHid 'nt State, and we.. pledge. our
lives and the lives of our comrades
In arms to the cause of its freedom
l's welfare and its exaltation among
the nations.
The Irish Republ c is entitled to
and hereby claims, the allegiance
of every Irish man and Irish wom
an. The republic guarantees re
ligious ' and civil liberty, equal
rights and equal opportun'tles to all
Its cit'zens and declares its re
solve to pursue the happiness and
prosperity of the whole nation, and
of all Its rarts. cherishing all the
children of the nation equally, and
oblivious of the d'fferences, care
fully fostered by an alien govern
ment, which have divided the min
ority from the majority In the past.
Until our arms have brought the
opportune moment for the establish
ment of a permanent National Gov
ernment, representat've of the
whole people of Ireland and elected
by the suffrage of all her men and
women, the Provisional government
hereby constituted will administer
the civil and military affairs of
the republic in trust for the people.
We place, the cause of.the . Irish
RepuM'c under the protection of the
Most High God. whose blessing we
Invoke upon our arms, and we rray
that no one who Rerves' that feause
wilt-dishonor It by cowardice in
humanity, or rapine. In this su
preme hour the Irish nation must,
by its valor and d'fctid ne and by
the readiness of its children to sac
rifice themselves for the common
rood prove Itsidf worthy of the au
enst dstlny to which it is called.
Signed !n behalf of the Provls'on
al Government:

Let us say to those who are
not versed in the history' of our
great Republic thft It Ws the same
chlvalrlc Irish blood thft animated
Patrick Henry, the great VIrgln'an,
when he threw the firebarid of lib
erty into the enthusiasm of the.
American Colonies, in his great
speech when he sta eJ he cared
not what others thought, but for
himself he wanted liberty or death.
Those very words settled the minds
of the struggling colonies In their
strke for freedom. Yes it took
an Irishman's son. Henry, to defy
th s Captain Kidd of the seas and
Robin Hood of lands. When he arose
to his feet in thnt meeting and de
livered those words it was like a
bugle blast that echoed and re
echoed through the thirteen colo
nies and made those patriots arise
in arms to sever themselves from
Prltsh fetters. Let it be remem
bered also that it was this grand
'Old North State" Carolina, that
iook the initiative In declaring for
iridnpendence at Mecklinrburg. be
fore her slsrer states formulated the
drclara ion in 17".
Allow me to t:irn over a page. of
American history and the substance
of my statement w 11 be found In
Bancroft's History of the ynited
States, the creafest and moit im
partial of all our historians. ' They
will find on that i ace where the
father of onr country, Washington
found an Irishman's son true to him
and true to American ' frevdoni.
This cr'sls took place In a tim of
that jreat s'ruusL "when it tried
nun's souls."
Washineton wis retreating trough
New Jersey wi h the English army
"ff?r him. The capitol of our to
be republic was then in Philatlel
ph;a and it can be Incidentally stat
ed that our ea'I'ol was a moving
one for five or six years once In An
nnpolis anothc" time in .York Pa.
and a;ain In some other place. But
'n tht-s darkest hour of our fight for
liberty It wis in Philadelphia when
'he alarm was set up that the Eng
"sh army was advancing toward Phil
ndelnhin.
Comternat'on seized our little
congress and statesmen and they be
:an tn sc-i.tter for their homes. John
Adams who could do '.3re fighting
In council than cn the battlefield
flew to Pos'on. Thomas Jefferson
went to his home In Charlottsville.
Va. FrnnkPn next to Washington
tn the build'ng of our republic was
n Frnnee at that time.
The suon of liberty looked to be
setting on the asp'ratlons of the
Orusrslins colonies. Wp1 had no cap
Itol at that hour, yes we had a ean
Itol.' Where was it? It was ; In
Washington's scabbard; where he
stood the ea'I'ol stood.
In this crisis of American free
dom the following lines will fit this
immor'ta man:
"Honors are the gifts, of men;
heroism comes from the' (infinite.
When cowards skulk and craven
spirits shrink In the face of (danger,
does God make heroes, and J stamps
them with his own real.''
This Godgiven man to .thfe world
was George Washington wholcreated
In a new hemisphere a land! where
the plain people and the worUds de
mocracy could escpe from I Euro
pean serfdom and vasSalage and he
slven a new b'rth right on Ameri
can soil, where merit, talent and
genuis would take priority ana pre
cedence over "Divine Rights'' I aris
tocracy privilege and ascendency.
Th's God given man to the wrld
very often had to stand the taupti
and Jibes of the American Tories1
people who w'shed to remain under
the rule of England, he also hkd
to stand the seige of a cabal r
clique launched against him tq Re
lieve him of his command of trie
American army, led by an English
adventurer and soldier of fortun
named Charles Lee. j
As this wonderful man stood wltti
his little array around him after
crossing the Dojpwnre,. he resolved
to re'reat no farther. It was thi
that ho stood like a m'ghty oak
a forest of scrubby pines. He,,
solved to retrace his steps and crtss
the Peleware. Before doing sol he
enlled on this treacherous general
Charles l ee who had a part of ljis
array at Morristown. N. J. to move
to his aid. Lee paid no atten'
o the first order nor the second
on
der nor the third order of Washing
ton as In his heart h desired to
"I'-e no a'd to Washineton. Finally
Washington fell back on a man who
no' only loved him. but was an
American patriot to the pause, and
a men who refused to Join the pabnl
nea'nst Washington. Thl man wnu
Major General John Sullivan the
son of nn Irishman. Althongh at a
distance, he ordered Sullivan to take
Lee's divh'on of soldiers and mareh
on the flank of the English at Tren
ton. Sullivan hastened at once to
Morristown to fie support of Wash-
Iru'ort. result was Washington
hearing tht Su'.Iivan was carrying
out his or6f ia marching on Tren
ton, resolvet to cross the Deleware
cn that coI Christmas Eve 177!.
