Irish Land Tenure bill, BIO sai1 that oml-
grafton was good method Of relief when
voluntary, b11t when il becomes compulso-
r., and men arc compelled to leave who aso
willing to rcmain, it is exile, end angezs its

Ireland was to remove tbs causes that naade

Gsa5stone Is thus seeking to euro the oval
| in ireland, tho tide Of emigration from
England has suddenly taken now force, and
The substantial cause is the same. In Ire
lend the soil Is owned by noa-residents,
vbose only care ls to e1toEt the highest
reseruc therefrom, ana who treat with
scozn MI claim on the rhrt Of the tenant to
uny rights Of property In improvements,
CT even in the growing crops The
insult is that the latter makes M
| | improvements, cnd only grows enough
to feed himself and family, Tearing
nothing for the bniliff. In England th,
c1tent Of 1nna held for agricultural ppr
g poses is gradually growing less Tho Ian
9 Itself is becoming the property Of fewe
4 persons Five yearn ago less than 30,oo
4 Persons owned evcry foot Of land in Eng
l. isnd. It is mostly o~nod by capitalists
/; whose money Is invested in mines or manr
J. factures, and who can afford to hold thor
!, sands Of acres as parks, hunting ground'
,, mud private seats. They care nothing Il
:, agriculture. And So great is this desire t
I. get land that prices arr pnid for It Ave tint
I'd as gTeat as any sum represented by tbs a1
