Ireland's Contribution to America Highlighted at Sunnyside
Chicago aug 16 Michael Davitt told the Sunnyside park audience that in fifteen years 500000 Irish emigrants have crossed to the United States. He argued half were men, meaning Ireland loses 250000 of its young bravest, while the republic gains from their absence. He rejected the notion that home effort was stifled by American money and claimed Irish emigrants add value, with forty thousand leaving annually and each worth about one thousand dollars to industrial assets.
