mosltles IN that country, and causes
the peasautry to be In q worse con
dition than the slaves Of the AntiI
les, and that the Irish were continu
ally protesting against it.
The speaker then contrasted the
position of the Church of England.
England's liberties, he said, were not
secured by the churches, but by the
Puritans and nor conformists Ma
tiOns never forget their religious
grievances until the cause is removed.
The old policy pursued by England,
rendered ireland II ore ultramontaine
than any country in Europe. Ca
tholicism was not only a matter of
faith but of patriotism, for which the
Irish were ready to suffer or die, if
need be. Since the union, disturb
ances have been continual Protest
antlsm was the only FIRE that was de
strOying everything that was good and
noble In ireland, resulting in abso-
Lutte disappearances of peace and
loyalty. The Irishmen who had en-
igrated to the United States and
Australia, were watching anxiousls
the result of the great question. The
entire Fenlan project was fed and
kept alive by the sympathy of
Americans, under the idea that
England never did justice to Ire
land. There were no bitterer foes
to England Ia the Uaited States
than Irishmen. The House was now
asked to do justice to ireland, not
for fear OF foreign enemies, but for
the sake of internal peace aud tran
guilty. He contemplated the vol
untary system prevailing in Scotland,
and anticipated the best results to
postcrity for Ireland If this bill be
came law
Mr Bright concluded by saying
that this measure would nave the ap
proVal Of the Supreme Being. for it |
was founded on the principles of mer-
cy and Justice, the attributes of His I
glorious reign.

At the convention of editors and
printers in Vermont, a few weeks ago,
Hon. E. P. WaIton5 of Montpelier,
made a speech in which he related
his experience in the newspaper busi-
ness and made the following remarks
concerning the way the printer was
paid when his father carried on the
business, to which he succeeded:
'I can remember one point in
which 1 am very sure the printers of
1920 had a very great advantage over
you of these days, and that was get
ting more just reward for their la
Dor than you do. Not that there was
plenty of money in those days-there
was but little of it for a time. I can
remember when IL ere Were but two
banks-in the State. Money was not
plenty. Now and then we got hold
of a pistareen, nihe-pence, or four
pence halfpenny. But can tell you
what they did get literally; they got
two cords of wood, they got four
bushels of corn, they got twelve bush
els of oats, and twenty-fOur bushels of
potatoes, and sixteen pounds, of but
ter, for years. subseription!I I can
when my fatherls cellar
was half full of apples-enough to
furnish one-half OF the village Of
Montpelier, could they have them
now. Why, he had to feed them to
5he hogs. Often be had from six to
twelve barrels of cider at time;
enough wheat, rye, and corn to fill a
large granhry; a yard filed with
eight-fee wood, potatoes, and vege-
tables of every sort-quite different
pay from what we get now, but infn-
.tely better. He could support his
family, and supply many ofhis neigh
5ofs.. b You can not do it now."

The following just views, says the
Omaha Republican, Of the effects of
land monopoly, occur IN an address at
the recent annual fair of the State
Board Of Agriculture Of Nebraska, de-
livered by Major II. F. Brooks, Of
Rochester, New York, and heartily
indorsed by the actual settlers of Ne

'sYou have how +ir2-ih III charge Of vonr
State 100000 acres of land ; that land
is worth more than all the railroads
you can build in forty years. What.
ever you do with.ft, require that it be
passed at low price, and ia limited
Quantities, into the hands Of actual
settlers. Your strong point is cheap
land. Every acre you pass over to
spectators, to be held for an advanced
price, is clog on your prosperity.
If you would r0ub the SPECTATORS,
and offer your lands TO actual settlers.
under the provisions of the homestead
act, or at ten shilfings per. acre, you
would, within eight or ten years, have
as dense o population as any agricuI-
tural State.in this blessed Union.
God grant our legislators, State and
wisdom to stop the whole
system Of land appropriation for pub
lie and private parposes. Hold every
acre as a sacred trust from Heaven for
the landless, whose needs are their
title to it, and who, from the proceeds
Of theirindustry, can and will build
roads and make every needed improve
ment, in half the time required under
the present system.
