island to itself The point that Engishmen
should bear IN mind is that the measures we
are invited to support have not the principle
OF nnality but by their nature constitute
sliding, greasy slope whereon Ireland may
slide into perfect separation, which ts the end
thaJ the Parnellites mean TO attain.
THE CINCINNATI SPEECH.
Much has been made OF the Parnellltes' re
cent protestations IN debate, but 1t shonld be
remembered that Mr.. Parnell said deliber-
ately that America would not be satisfied till
she had destroyed the last link that
keeps Ireland bound to England. This
statement has been question, but 1t
has been proved to have been uttered
In Cincinnati. The governments paper
safeguards would be worthless, and with no
fJrce behind them they would be destroyed
N the first five years Of an Irish government.
The moment the demand Is made for their re-
peal they must be repealed or be sim ply swept
away. Do not imagine that il Affects irish
men alone. 1t affects England in every way.

The more you can enable willing enigrants
the greater benefit to those remaining. At the
same time they tell me even Liberals like Mr..

you gave men land they must still starve. 1t
is a ridiculous contention. [Cheers. IL must

You ask whether / am prepared to answer
the demand for local government in Ireland.
My reply is that local government and home
rule have nothing whatever TO do with each
other.

The strife of parties is 30 keen and the or

This is a terrible state of things. The question
