When his newspaper 'The United Irishman' closed in 1906 due to a libel action, Griffith adopted the title 'Sinn Féin' for the replacement paper where he continued to promote his policies until its suppression in 1914.

Sinn Féin. Tuairisc na Rúnaithe: Árd-Fheis, 1921. Includes Secretaries’ report and note on the accounts of the party. Printed in Dublin by Sinn Féin. Physical description: 10 pp; tables; 26 cm; With typescript report of the Hon. Treasurer at the Árd-Fheis, 27 Oct. 1921. The report notes that ‘in presenting the balance sheet of the most abnormal year the Sinn Fein Organisation has yet experienced, it is a matter for congratulation that thro’ all the stress and pressure of the greater portion of the time covered by the present balance sheet the Organisation continued to work steadily by keeping in touch with all its Comhairle Ceanntair …’. Includes a table titled ‘Receipts and disbursements from 1st October 1920 to 8 Oct. 1921’. Typescript signature of Siobhan Bean an Phaoraigh, Hon. Secretary.

Celtic Cross label. Ringed cross with shamrock leaves; in the four ‘corners’ and inscriptions of ‘Éire’ and ‘Sinn Féin’ (twice) on cross. The difference between the two years being only colour. Commissioned by Arthur Griffith and designed by Lily Williams this stamp depicted the Cross of Cong with ‘ÉIRE’ at centre. Sinn Féin members paid a halfpenny each for the stamps and affixed them to letters as a propaganda move. The 1908 Post Office Act outlawed their use after protests by MPs in the House of Commons. They were continued however up to 1916 and beyond. The Cross of Cong design was adopted by the Irish Free State for some values of Irish definitive postage stamps- 3d, 10d and 11d - which were in use up to 1968.
Hibernia and Wolfhound Label. Hibernia (Erin) with harp, with arms of the four provinces of Ireland (at corners) and wolfhound; inscriptions ‘Éire’ (top panel) and ‘Sinn Féin’ (left and right panels).
The labels were printed by James Walker & Co. Ltd., Dublin in 1908, and again in 1916. The 1916 version was re-drawn and thus differs from the 1908 version.
