people the Cilicians, that the first pun
/ ishsd them with exemplary sevesity, whil
the last sought by kindness to assimilat
them 70 the Roman people. The polio
OF England toward ireland has been rathe
that of discipline than eonsiliation, an
in this it has always been the America
opinion that England acted nnwisely
We are confirmed in this belief by the de
l.berate statements Of the grea. Enghsl
republican, Bradlaugh. In this. as il
other things, he il perfectly fearless ant
candid. He would change the admins
tratiVs and social policy toward Ireland
but he would never hea. Of her secession
To an Irishman he said:
You can never win separation except by
the sword, and in such an attempt fear
should be compelled to be your enemy. AuC
! wish to sSy to you that they who advise
you to make the attempt are your bi:teges,
eueInies.
Yet he manfully defends ireland asains,
the charge Of having ever betrayed Eng.
land in refusing her aid in the ''shame.
fu: war" against the independence o!
America. There can be no doubt Of bis
justice or sincerity when be says:
There are 1rishmen hers present who may
think l do not go far enough, and there are
Englishmen here xho think may go too far.
The objections o: MI. Bradlaugh
to the Anglo-Irish policy are = /.
The restraints upon their freedom Of

ireland il. purely an agricultural country.
or nearly so; and this is from no special dis,
position of the Irish to occupy themselves
solely with agricultural pursuits, but be-
cause England prevented Irishmen from
following any trade requiring skilled art
isanship at all. There is no trade, no meas
ere of skilled haDdicraft to which the Irish
have turned their hands that England has
not ieeislated for the purpose of preventing.
These are some painful instances given
