Ism III these Kingdoms ltus framed u Land
bill Tor tho consideration Of Mr.. Glad
stone, embracing all tho salient and
ralleat TEXTURES Of tho Irish Land net.

glIsll Farmers Clubs and Agricultural la-
borers' Unln,,s, anu that II will IN son,o
sliape or other bc forced upon Mr. Glad"
stone, Is hardly questioned. Afr. Gladstone
cannot back down in deccncy or
with logic from the principles Of
the Irish net, md lle Is nov fnco to faee with
movement which In my lutters, think, l
llnve properly characterized rs revolutionary.
Iii 1870, when lIu, passed Ills Irish
Land bill, Mr.. Gladstone took great
palns 10 tllsown Communism. by
which mean in This Instance the doctrine
that tile tenailt has amy equitable right or
proprietary interest III tho taMi which lo

tho Ground Game bill md the Conlpensa-
MISUNDERSTANDING bill,
THE PREMIER WENT FAR nryoSD

had proprietary rights by vlrtnc OF his tn,,-
nncy. IN other words, tho doctrine tint
landed property was not property in tho
sense thut personal property is, was TO some
extent acted upon. THO Land bill Of lust

and gayo To tic ionant direct and indc-
feasible interest LII the soil lie titled, which
the nominal owner of tho estata could only
deprive him Of Oh tho payment Of

third party, or arbttrator, foreign,
ns tle Norman law lius It, to
the contract between tho two principals. Mr.
Gladstone took palms to assure the House
That this invasion, not only Of tho freedom
Ut contract, but ot proprietary rights, was
necessary In Ireland bccausc exceptional cir
cunlsta.lccs existed there. But willie lie was
