TO STOP

IRISH EXODUS AN APrEAL TO ERIN'S SONS OVER THE WORLD ISSUED BY ANTI-EMIGRA TION SOCIETY The Depopulation of Ireland Threatened Unless the Outward Movement Ceases. "We appeal to the Irish-American and Catholic press and to the IrishAmerican bhhops and clergy to do al1 in their power to stop the steady flow of emigrur?on which is depopulating Ireland; anl finally wo appeal to Irish organizations anl societies in America to throw their united strength into an effort to hold Ireland as th'.j cradleland.of the race." This is the keynote of a leaflet which has been sent broadcast by the Anti-Emigraiion Society oi Ireland among prominent Irish- mcricans. Manv of the tracts have been re ceived in Richmond. The society was organized in May, 1903, in Dublin, with Cardinal Logue, archbishop of Armagh, as president and R. A Sheehan, bishop of Waterford and Lismore, Dr. Michael F. Cox and Rev. Peter O'Leary as vice-presidents The pamphlet is signed by these officers and the following: Archbishop Thomas Fennelly of Cashel. Archbishop John Ileuly of Taum. Douglas Hyde, president of the G.ie lie League. John Sweetman, chairman Meath county council and founder of the Sweetman Catholic colony of Minnesota. John A. Glynn, chairman Galway county council. Henry Egan, chairman King's county council. P. F. Mullally. chairman Tipperpry eouniy council. Edmund Nugent, chairman Waterford county council. Peter Idughes, chairman Louth fonnty Cbni.eil. Danger of Depopulation. Startling facts in the depopulation of the island are shown in the following excerpts from the brochure: The greatest danger threatening Ireland today is the danger of the extinction of the Irish race within her own shores. For sixty years the flow emigration has gone on till the population of the country is reduced to one-half what it was before the diamine. In the last twenty years, according to (he 7-onort of the commissioner general of immigration at Washington, no fewer than 910,000 men and women have emigrated from Ireland to the United States alone. Of these 75,000, or S3 per cent, were :n the prime of life, between the ages of 15 and 35, and in Ireland at the last census the whole number of persons of these ages was only 1,500,000; so that the loss of her young population in th last twenty years was onehalf the pvsent adult population in the prime life. This enormous withdrawal of the most vigorous portion of the nation has had its natural results. The na tive population is steadily falling; the marriage rate and th birth rate pre the lowest of any civilized country; lunacy is increasing to an alarming degree, and the scarcity of labor is feit in ;nany branches of agriculture. While the stream of Irish emigration sets toward the West there is a steady, silent influx of foreigners, ' who are rapidly constituting themselves the dominant commercial and industrial interest. At the census of 1001 the foreign-born population of the island increased by nearly 10.000 in the decennial period. Tf this double process of emigration and "plantniion" continues the native In'sh will soon be entirely supplanted in their own land by people of other races.

. nit- iiimi m America nave a great V responsibility in this crisis. It is estimated the passage of more than half the emigrants i3 prepaid by re-

latives in the United States. We appeal to Irish-Americans to stop this

practice of sending prepaid transpor tation. Ireland cannot afford to lose a single one. of her children. Apart from the economic loss, the emigration of every adult means the withdrawal of a fighter from the nation's ranks while the battle for racial existence is proceeding. Warning to Emigrants. ' According to the Anti-Emigration Soeiety, ignorance of conditions pre vailing in America and prepaid pas sage tickets are the chief causes of emigration. The society combats the emigration movement by articles m Irish papers, setting forth the risks run by emigrants in America. It pnrposes to send a magic lantern hrough the emigrating districts with views showing conditions surrounding unskilled labor in the United States. IPifty thousand leaflets have been pub Iished for distribution. It has. been decided to hold a conference of the society at tne St. Louis exposition. HRS.
