| Summary: | 1918 election handbill for the Wicklow Sinn Fein candidate Robert Barton. Parts of text include: 'The Irish in old times were famous for their manufacturers and trade. Their industries were destroyed one after another by the English parliament, so as to keep all wealth in English hands - the Penal Laws left to the Irish nothing but starvation. In 1782 the Parliament of Ireland conquered the right to develop Irish industries. What did 18 years of its scanty freedom - overthrown so soon - do for the men and women of Wicklow?'. References towns in Wicklow and their various industries that they were once famous for, such as linen production in Baltinglass and Dunlavin. With quotations from John Mitchel and Thomas Davis on p. 2 (verso). |
