Paternalism in Government.


In discussing the judicial reduction
of Irish land rents, the strangest thing
10 Americans is the fact that any au.
thority can interpose to save the weak
from the effects of the bad bargains in.
to which they are inevitably led. Such
act would be in violation of our Consti-
tuition. which forbids any State to i'm
pair the obligations of contract.
Here. if any one makes a bad bargain
he must stick to it, unless his partner
in it releases him. But the Irish ten
ant can scarcely be said to make any
bargain tuT his humble home, any
more than could the Southern slave
years ago have bargained for the cabin
he lived in. If rent in Ireland were q
question of market value, as it is here,
it would be entirely proper to leave 1t
for the parties TO settle among them
selves its terms, just as is done in this
country. But for ages Irish land has
been so ted up that it has been impossi-
BILE for tenants to buy. The strong Irish
love of home has been used as a means
for extorting rents far greater than the
product We value of the property would
warrant. What the renter lacked was
mainly made up by contributions from
friends in America In reducing rents,
therefore. tho government simply pro-
tects the Irish people from an extortion
which its former laws have permitted
if not fostered. 1t s much such an act
as that of our own Government twenty
five years ago, in abolishing slavery in
this country. 1t remains to be seen
whether the relief for the tenants is as
rad cal rs their necessit es require
