show large addition Ia the marketable
value of landed property. and thus have the
landlords themselves SHARED in the aivsn
tage which new laws have conferred On
the tenants.
III will be remembered that, by the
Irish Land act, the tenant is compen-
stated at the expiration at his lease for
the improvements which he has put upon
the land, SO that the Old fashions Of rack
rent and arbitrary dispossession, by needy
landlords, Of the thrifty farmer, has "a
wholesome check.)
Since 1S4l, the value of live stock has
risen from $l05,525,O00 in that year, to
$751;, 575, 900 10 1871. The prices of live
stock, it should be remarked, are uniform
for the whole period, making the COM
parison fair one. The. value of the
principal crops, including the products
Of arabic rs we'll rs pasture land, was, in
1864, $157, 100000. In 1875 the estimate
reached 100000. So that with the
greater augmentation in the basis of sup
ply, sDd the smaller number Of persons
to be supported, it is to be assumed that
there should be y vastly improved cOndi
ton of the people. One other statement
was made by Mr.. Gladstone, an eloquent
fact, with regard to the growing pros
perity of Ireland. The number of pris-
oners tried at Assizes and Quarter SEES.
sions in 1854 was 11.7S8. With the
decrease of population it was, Of course,
to be expected that the figures would
sink into proportion to, perhaps, some
where in the neighborhood of 5000, but,
instead of that number, the prisoners
have decreased in the present year to the
small proportion of 4,240, which should
lead to show that the diminutiOn Ot
crime is in an increasing ratio to even
the actual decrease in privatiOn.
Humorously recounting the member
ship of the Home Rule party in Parlia-
ment, as having risen from ten in 1868 to
sixty in 1874, Mr.. Gladstone regrets that
these have been recruited from the ranks
of Irish Liberals rather than from the
Conservatives; but his record makes 1t
easy for him to add that, whatever be the
effect on the future OF the Liberal party,
the first consideration of every Irishman
should be the welfare of Ireland.
Evidently this new Stanley has found
profitable reflections for the people of
England in his rides in third-class rail-
way carriages and his explorations of the
municipal institutions and agricultural
districts Of Ireland. His discoveries give
satisfaction to the London Times, which
says: $50 long as statesmen and public
men in England treat Ireland as prac.
tically foreign country, it cannot be
expected but that the feeling of the Home
Rulers should gather in strength and in
tensity. There is tho much reason, in
short, to fear that the Irish talk lightly
of their separate institutions, because, to
a great extent, they are separate already"
