ain certain that after say ten or fiji
teen years of self-government Ireland
would show an advance In every way
which would mot alone justify the faith
or those who always believed In home
rule, but which would at the same time
compel those who were the opponents
OF such a scheme to honestly regret that
they were So. What the splendid effect
OF lf-govcrnment has been all through
the British empire we all know. 1t has
made pros perity and peace and progress
In every part OF the world. Are 1rishmen
not entitled to claim that 1t would do
at least as much for them?
A Comparison.
People ask why Ireland Is. not as sat
isfled with the Union as Scotland. The
case OF Scotland Is entirely different. She
entered into the union with England VOL
unfairly, and her laws and customs and
religion have been respected. II England
had proceeded in Scotland as in Ireland,
there would be different tale to tell
II the native Scots1nen had been banned
and boycotted practically out of all share
in the management Of their own country,
as Catholic freshmen have been, then
Inv, no. T.,
against the Union as Ireland to-day. *
The concession OF home rule would
mean fresh life and hope for Ireland.
and must Inevitably result in increased
prosperity and progress. How could
any country possibly thrive under the
Dublin Castle system Take the public
departments like the Board Of Works
the Local Government Board and the
Education Board.
They are all absolutely unrepresenta-
tive. not one of them possess the conf
dence OF the people. Take the police
force: II costs quite three times as much
as the police force in Scotland where
the population is to-day larger than in
Ireland And Sit is the same in nearly
every department OF the government; the
cost is .monstrouslXl extrava CANT.
From the point ofaview Of administra-
ton Ireland Is handicapped in every
way. Under home rule this would be
all changed, the public departments
would be brought into touch with popu-
lar feeling. Economy and efficiency
would the result. The Irish railwa vs.
which at the present time charge prac-
tically prohibitive rates, would be COM
PEELED to give the producers Of the coun-
try chance Of transporting their pro-
