They are not unmindful of Lord Beaconsheids
gallant stand in their behalf, for the mo-
ment, bat they know perfectly well tha'
Lord Beaconshed would turn aErarian to-nor-
row If he saw his way to a political Vc'orS
with Free Land for cry. The very TACT tha'
Lord Carngton has not been prominent az poi"-
cal leader makes his present attitude the more
alarming 10 men of his own rank and posIlon'
Such a cry coming from him can he nothing Out a
genuine cry of distress. There must oe many oi
Them who. if they dared. would cxclaim with him
that entail Is a milestone round then necks-
milestone that hampered my father. that must
wear t,ll nv death. my brothers well If they sue
ceel me: and the land is not free till after our
deaths or the twenty-first birthday of an un-
born heir" Many Of them, too must go
with him IN his protest against Justify
inc the restraints of entail on the ground that
il prevents improvidence. IL does hot, says Lord
Caripgfon. for most men don't come into their
nroperty till middle life, when they have sown
their wild oats But If 1t did. "is il wise for the
sake of saving a few foolish men from the con-
sequences OF their folly to hamper all the propne-
tors of England and TO make living men, anxious
10 improve their estates and benefit their tenants,
feel the dead mars grip, from which there is no
eseapef And he boldly lays It down that 1t is by
free trade IN land that the agricultural difficulty
"
with the land once secured, the owners and cult-
vators of the land viii weather the storm together
the landlords with their acreage reduced perhaps
but with their properties in good order free from
crushing debts. credit as well as profit to them
selves; and the farmers, with their balances at
their bankers reduced, but still solvent, still able
and willing to fight against bad seasons ana low
pr,ces ill the good time comes-and come il will
when the Almighty shall send us the fruit OF the
earth in due season, and the country hail the re-
turn Of prosperity to the agricultural interest OF
Old England"
There may be many answers to Lord Carington
but il Is hardly an answer to say. as one journal
does that his family name is Smith. that the family
fortune came from bank. that his peerage Is only
eighty years old. and that IL is this present Lord
Cariugton himself who has made the name best
known The last point will strike most men as a
reason why the weight should be given to his
present appeal. G. W. g
