4 COMPARISON.
WASHINGTON JAN lO-Barrows, United
States consul at Dublin, transmits a long re-
port IN the Ulster tenant right customs. He
compares jersey island with Ireland, and says
IN the former production is evoked to the
furthest limit. There il q universal spirit of
thrift and industry and contentment in the
highest degree, and the rights of property are
never questioned. In Ireland the low state of
production, chronic discomfort and want OF IN
dustrv and thrift. This contrast Is due to the
very limited ownership of land IN Ireland for
centuries the existence oil numerous proprie-
tarY and to the accumulation OF lands IN the
hands of few. The cost of emigration, in
stead of being borne by the British govern
ruent. Is really drawn from Irish laborers in
America. who IN twenty years RENTED to Ire

or desiring to emigrate 80 the United States.

encourage the people to come to Canada
where have lots of room for them: 1t Is
only the first steps that painful. They
come among kin and friends here, and that is

Ings of indignation and sorrow the condition of
the land tenure in Ireland by which long suf-
fering race. oppressed by unjust custom and

ent remedy for such condition of things being
such a reform OF the land tenure as will realize
the long cherished hope of Ireland for the Irish.
ReSOlyod, That diversity of industrial en-
ployment is necessary to the prosperity of ma
tions, and that the British government from
its advent in Ireland to the present time,
having legslated successfully for the ruin of
Irish manufactures in favor of those of Eng
land, poverty must remain the natural condi-
ton and famine the frequent of the Irish
people until they regain Legislative power to
practice their own industries and secure
to the laborer the fruits of his toll, whether in
agriculture, manufactures commerce, as
provided by exceptional prosperity during the
period of Irish parliamentary independence
from 1882 to $500.
Geo. W. Childs was unable to be present and
