70 this country. The soil OF Ireland Ia
extremely rich and we'll adapted 10 the
EAislng OF cattle, sheep aud grAiu. She
hes the Richest pAs ure land in Earope,
n abundance OF cheap fuel, Is rich In
mineral resources and has some oil the
6nsst hArbors in tbs world. In the

SOr the English markets, and in . lev
years II became Q very lucrative buSi-
nss and . source OF wealth 10 the
EAlpers. This, however, did not suit
she English landlords, and In obedienoe
- their demands, Parliament passed .
Jaw prohibiting the tx portAtion from
IEelAnd Of al cattle, sheep and swine,
Of beef, pork, bacon, mutton, butter
End cheese. When this source Of
revenue was cut Of the Irish people
built ahlps, and dsvoHng themselves 10
