actually drove the Irish, which Is to sag the
native owners OF the soil. out OF the North OF
Ireland into the South. The phrase "to hell OF
Counaught!'' had lis origin in this ltwas to
Connuuyh that these people were condemned
to 60, tho alternative being death.
OF course TO American can understand why
anybody should 20 to any place that he does not
want to go. America bein4a free country. Bur
the American must understand that England ia
not n free country that the corrupt and vicious
nobility Of England wanted ground upon which
they could commit piracy, md thur they had the
entire power of tho British Government behind
it. The English bayOnet Is q rare PerSunder,
especially when 1t has tho stoiid cruelty and the
iron Will OF Cromwell behind it. Let man

this land was divided up among the dissolute
Williams who infested the British Court und for
whom, they be4ng the alleged SOUS or noblea
something must be done.
BUT a condition WIS nttnched to these gFantf
of stolen lands. No native lrishman WAS to have
q holding there. 1t WAS considered pecessary
that there should be- IN Ireland u garrison Of
the robbed and outraged Irish Who had been
driven into the South in check. Therefore the
North Of ireland was given to tue dissoiuts
younger sons OF dissolute English Lords, upon
condluon that their tenants should he English
or Scotch, and in all cases protestants.
To get English or Scotch farmers to join In
i1ltiucement held GUT. They had to make some-
thing our Of it. They were not compelled To
come upon tho ground. and they maize their
bargain with the Lords. They insisted upon the
tixity OF tenure, Il low rent, and tree SALE which
Is to say they would not enter upon these stolen
lands except upon a low rent; they insisted thas
they should have the benefit thereof. and It
should have the right to sell rho improvements
they had made. and that the improvements
should be a part ut the value OF tho lands, and
their interest therein should be, IN Interest In
law and equity.
the North of ireland WAS settled by English and
Scotch Protestants, the ''custom" known as
.Ulster custom was established. and il law

the entire island. While the Farmer in UIsrer

farmer Of Cork ana Tipperury has nothing Of

tCork custom Is quite another thing.
''Uls,er custom" was bribe. Cork custom"
Is robbery 1t is sps1em of wholesale coudsca-
ton OF labor, OF body and soul.
Each county has its own CUSTOM, ard the
poor robbed slave lives Under that custom. The
North Of Ireland farmer comes ntarer to Keep

ireland farmer. because the william robbers who
had to make custom more favorable to get the
