England Holds They are Only Useful in Voting for Free Trade.
The Cork incorporated chamber of commerce and shipping lately wrote to the first Lord of the admiralty, asking if he would receive a deputation with a view to getting the government to utilize Haulbowline docks, and thus afford some employment for the people of that district. The first lord of the admiralty stated in reply, "that he thought the creation of a ship-building yard in Haulbowline would involve an unnecessary expenditure of public money and would not have the desired effect."
Now, the "public money" is raised in part, by taxing the people of Ireland twice as much on their capital as the people of England are taxed, through the duty on tea and tobacco and the excise on spirits, "the luxuries of the poor."
The English statement, however, thinks that anything reducing the employment of labor in England "would not have the desired effect."
It is remarkable that so many Irishmen in this country are found voting with the party of the first lord of the admiralty, and it is well known that the only time an Irishman is of any use to England is when he is voting for free trade in the United States.
