JOHN BRIGHT, leader of the Liberal
party in England, has been attacking the
course of the Tories in reference to the
condition, and shows up an unhappy state
Of affairs in the unfortunate island. He
says:
"There are in Ireland 10000 owners
Of land, and 100000 tenants who cult
vate but do not own land sixty tenants
to one owner. That's, roughly speaking,
the state of things which produces the
existing discomfort. The COO, 1000 tenants
have to pay REM, and, as they allege, the
rent exacted is an unjust rent; partly be-
cause it is higher than the land will bear :
partly because, to great extent, the title
of the owner is title acquired in past
times by conquest and confscation.''
Is there any remedy for this state of
things? Mr.. Bright thinks there is and
says:
"What l propose and what l have
proposed for many years is this, that some
measure should be taken by which occu-
piers of farms in Ireland should be trans
ferred and transformed into owners"
The remedy is indirect and slow. 1t is
a proposal to enlarge the Bright clauses
OF the Irish Land Act of l87O-clauses
intended to facilitate the purchase of land
by tenants. Present shape they have
proved a comparative failure; OF rather
have proved to great extent imperative.
lie would now substitute scheme by
which commission shall be created. en-
powered to buy absolutely any estate that
comes into the market, and to sell the
land at fair price to the tenants on that
estate, In such portions as the tenants
might desire. To aid the tenants to buy,
the Government is to lend them the
money not all, but say two-thirds or
three-fourths. If farm cost s.. 900. the
Treasury would find $1,000 and the
tenant must find the other $500. Then
the farm is to become the property of the
tenant 1t is no longer the landlords.
because the landlord has sold it to the
Commission. 1t is not the property of
the Commission or of the Government.
because >the Commission has transferred
its title to the farmer The farmer is
now the owner, and no longer a tenant.
lie has no rent to pay to anybody. But
the Treasury, of course, has not made
him present Of the money--thc $500
by which he was enabled to buy his farm.
They have lent it to him; and he will
have to pay interest on this borrowed
money. This interest is to be calculated
at such rate that at the end of thirty
live years the farmer will have paid off
principal and interests together; and so
the farm become absolutely his own, free
from every sort of incumbrance, whether
In the shape of rent or interest or charge
OF any kind for debt Mr.. Bright com
putes that the rents now paid for land are
SO high that the farmer need pay, under
this thirty-five years arrangement, no
more than he now pays for rent.

SINCE January, 1879, the advance in
iron has been 1875 per cent, 1O2 for steeI
rails, 81 for iron rails During the past
month printing cloth has advanced 10
per cent, and cheese III, printing paper
40 per cent, and leather goods in like pro-
portion. On the contrary, wheat has
declined per cent, corn 81, hogs and
bacon 3 to A per cent. Speculation may
soon work its cure. 1t is expected that
the high prices Of iron and its products
will soon increase the supply so largely as
to bring about reaction for many of
the works in the country are not yet in
operation, the production can be quickly
increased, and imports of iron, both raw
and manufactured, are greatly stimulated
by the present prices.

The Monroe doctrine, as affected by
the Inter-oceanic Canal, now being sur
Veyed by NJ. de Lesseps on the isthmus
OF Panama, is beginning to attract very
considerable attention in Washington.
A caucus of the Democratic members has
been held and being in the majority, with
them rests the responsibility of whether
the doctrine shall be enforced or not.
President Hayes thinks the people nor
the government of this country will ever
submit to an inter-oceanic canal across
any part of the isthmus that is not under
the control of this Government. The
French government disclaims all RESPONSE
Dlllty for the de Lesseps company, but
the latter reco'rol its charter from it and
would F'r. -..-..aly look to it for protec-
ton and get it too. The canal is not
being dug, simply surveyed, and all
measures taken will therefor be simnlv
precautionary.

Gently killed by the Zulus, set up in West

HE disposition of the trading public
seems to be row to lay in full stocks of
goods, thus creating an unusual demand
and sending up prices. In addition to
the rise, OF paper and iron, the prices of
all kinds of textile fabrics are steadily adj
Vancing. Nearly all prominent makes of
cotton and wOollen goods are heavily sold

minis running onheavy woollen goods have

wear no more clothes now than they did a
year ago, but the mercantile purchases
are twice as much. Statesmen of Shoes
Notions, Dry Goods, &C., report their
sales double this winter that of previous
corresponding seasons. Prosperity comes
out OF the ground, and all these trades
are looking to the farmers to back them

that every spar, cable, &C., is in condition

have not confidence in the captain and
his crew there is distrust and possible
mutiny. We have just passed through
such a crises in one of our States and it

Of the extreme and fraudulent efforts at

vast interests in the hands of men COM

The ballot is treated too cheaply. Its
great importance is not sufficiently an
preclated or men would deal with it as thew
do with other matters. There are men
who would scorn to do any mean thing
or who would not suffer the least inpnta-
ton on their character in the common
business transactions of life, who will
cheat with impunity in politics and crow
with delight when they have defrauded
citizen with equal rights as themselves.
out OF the privilege of the franchise.
This condition of things may have had
Its origin in the people themseIyes-in the
light value individually placed upon the
privilege. If all men thought for them
selves, or, whether thinking for them
selves Or not, held their principles in
vlolable, they would not, they could not
be tempered with. But when men place
themselves in the market, as they do by
hundreds, they will find purchasers. The
meanest central of politics is that grow
ing out of property infuence-where the
landlord or creditor expects this superior
advantage to control the act of his tenant
or debtor in depositing his ballot on their
side Of the question. Many men who
would resent the insult of a proffered
bride, have silently yielded to this subtle
influence and almost unknowingly abne-
gated themselves.
While men are too ignorant to COM
prehend a political syllogism Or weigh
the principles of rival parties and think
them out to practical result, the corrupt
partlzan will very naturally ply his voca-
ton in making merchandise of men as
cattle. The ideal Republican govern
ment is one in which every man is intel
hgent enough to think, and, having
thought, to act independently on the
promptings Of his own mind. It viii be
long while before we arrive to the per-
lection Of the ideal In the meantime
the State and those IN whose custody il
may rest, should protect and Iegislate for

The necessity of good, strong local
government is amply shown in the case
OF Allegheny county, Pa, which has had
to pay the losses incurred by the Pitts
burg riot in 1877, causing damages to the
amount of four or five millions of dollars.
The county resisted through the courts
under the plea that the most of the
rioters came from other parts of the
State, but to 10 purpose The local au-
thorities, it was held, should be strong
enough to keep the peace-showing the
Importance in financial sense of foster

THE Levy Court, as was intended in its
creation, is seeing after the finances of
the country. 1t is now turning dollars
into the Treasury by the hundreds.
There were so many who did not or
would not pay tax that it began to bear

compelled to shoulder the burdens of the

Don CAMERON, who holds the reins Of
Pennsylvania politics, has so pulled the
wires as to have the Pennsylvania delega-
ton to Chicago instructed for Grant by a
small majority, 1873 to 113. The popular
voice of Pennsylvania is against the
"third term" whether he be warrior, sage
or politician, and the men who sit behind
the screens had better heed the voice of
the neonle.
