When Mr.. Gladstone arose at $40 ?.
IA TO Introduce the home rule bill there
was another Demonstration so earnest,
! so enahusiastff and irreprsssib!e that it
was several minutes bstors be could be
/ heard.
Mr.. Gladstone spoke as follows. in
| clear, strong and resonant voice:
! may without I'M 1rJp-ietY remind the house
! that the voices which usually pleaded the cause
/ OF Irish SELF varnuent IN Irish affairs have
/ within these walls during he ptsE seven years.

liberals, OF various plans dealing with Irish az
! fairs Those plans, though the fell entirely
\ eminent yet were OF trivial or moan i'm

What has become Of each and oil Of those i'm
portant schemes FOR giving Ireland self govern
ment IN provinces and giving her even cen

| reality remains
The roads were still there-autonomV or co
eroion- The choice lay between them and the
/ choice made was TO pei autonomy and en-
brace coercion You cannot always fol
! low coercion IN an absolutely Uniform
method In 1886 for the first time coercion
vas supposed on Ireland in the shape Of a per
/ maEaent law added TO the statute book This
/ statute constituted On offending against the
harmony and traditions Of seifgoveruueut- 1t

faith OF which union was obtained That per
manent system OF repression inflicted upon the
country state Of things which could not com

! 81 mpathy with the coercion power
Mr. Gladstone proceeded to diiate at
! length upon the circumstances under
I
AprOmise of equality in the laws and OF
Commercial equality under which UNI
| ion vas effected. It was then prOph-
esied confidently, it is said, that Irish
meR would take their places in the
cabiDet of the United Kingdom, but
/. it had been his honorcd destiny to
sit in cabinets with no less than sixty
to seventy statesmen of whom only one
the Duke of Wellington, was an Irish
man. while CastIereagh was the only
/ other Irishmau who had sat in the
cabinet since the union. Pitt promised
equal laws when the union was formed,
| but the broken promises made to Ire
land We're unhnppilY written in indeli-
bic characters in the history of the
. country. Coming 20 1882, when the
} resurrection of the people began, and
thence down to 1850, Ireland could
present only a small minority in favor
81 restoring to her something in the
nature of constitutional rights and
practical self government.
The venerable leader then continued;
It IS to ne astonishing tflt SO little weight is
attached by many 20 tho fact that before 1855
