ton. Nothing more StrlklnSly NUS
trates this than the character of the
monster meeting which John e. Red
the other day, and the tone of the
speech delivered by the Irish leader.
Every county in the province was
represented. which naturally elected
from Mr.. Redmond vigorous repudi-
alton of the calumny that Ulster is op-
posed to home rule. The people of the
other three provinces are practically
unanimous.
In Ulster alone is there any division
on the subject. But the substantial
majority, even in Ulster, is in accord
with the demand for national self-gov-
ernmeht Referring to the minority
which is still hostile to it, Mr.. Red
mond said:
"Now. over those men, l say today,
if can avoid it l want no party tri-
umph. But want to influence their
l want to dissipate also
their suspicious. and want to soften
their hearts, and, therefore. so long as
it Is possible for me to do so even
against hope, l will preach to them the
doctrine of Cancellation.
There is, thank God, a movement
today amongst these men. We see it
In Belfast. and we see it in all the ag-
ricultural constituencies almost in Ill
ster, movement which shows that the
sentiment of Protestant Ulster is no
longer properly represented by the ig-
norant intolerance which so long has
spoken for Ulster, and that a spirit of
liberation and of independence is
spreading. Let US nationalists respond
to that spirit.
Il say here today there are no
lengths short of the abandonment of
the principles which you and + hold to
which would not go to win the con-
fidence Of these men and not have them
lost to Ireland. There are no safe
guards which I would object to in a
home rule bill tomorrow to satisfy the
fears which these men entertain about
their religious interests, and 1 say he
Is the best Irishman who does his best
today by preaching liberation and con-
Citation to these men to bring all the
sons OF gallant Ulster into line in the
battle for Ireland"
Battle Virtually Won.
After that it will no longer he nos
s1ble to represent the Irish leader as an
opponent of the policy Of Cancellation.
Commenting on the speech, there APP
pears a significant declaration in the
London Tribune, which claims to be a
reliable government organ, that the
battle for home rule is virtually won:
Mr.. Redmond struck generous and
statesmanlike note yesterday when he
preached policy of tolerance and con-
ciliation towards the province which
he described as gallant Ulster So
long as the majority in Ireland was
busted in fighting a long and uphill
battle. often against all human hope,
for the ideal Of self government, they
were compelled to carry on the feud
with the minority which had the SYM
pathies Of the governing classes in
England. Today Ireland has in effect
won her battle, and she can pause to
remind the minority that it, too, will
profit by self-government"
Beet Sugar Industry.
According to many experienced bus
dness men, the time has arrived when
a beet-sugar factory might be estab-
lished in Ireland with prospects of sue
cess. The troubles I'm Cuba and the
prospects Of sugar combine in the
United States is viewed with some
alarm in Ireland, as it is felt that the
nF on n,,eIr, S,,
crease. If cane sugar goes up, beet
sugar is bound to follow.
Colonel -Everard, who was the first
to see the possibilities of tobacco Gull
ture in Ireland and demonstrate its
practicability, is equally as enthusiast
tic with regard to the growth of beet
in Ireland. He points out that Ire
land imports as much as $4,000 tons
of sugar annually, most Of which he
believes might be produced at home.
The colonel maintains that the beet
grown in Ireland is quite as good as,
If not superior to, that raised in Ge,-
many, which has 400 beet factories,
producing 100000 tons of sugar an
nually. When his attention was called
to the fact that Germany has protec-
ton he replied: "True, Germany has
protection, and France feeds her beet
sugar industry, but a patriotic prefer
ence might be as efficacfous in Ireland,
especially if the price of imported
sugar rises appreciably.' The colonel
is endeavoring to get some Of the veal
thy men interested in the industrial
development movement to examine his
beet-growing scheme.
Industries Prosperous.
Some indication of the growth and
of native industries in
Ireland may be gathered from a gov
eminent return just issued. It is re-
corded that there are twenty -four coal
mines, employing on an average $50
hands; fourteen iron mines, employing
$50, and twenty-five other Mines en-
ploying about 400. There are 537
quarries, giving employment to about
5000. What is considered as most re-
markable is that only tive fatalities
have occurred during the last twelve
months in connection with these indus
tries.
John P. Boland, M. P. for Kerry,
who is an enthusiast In the promotion
of native industries, says: IF it We're
not for extortionate railway rates we
could double the output of coal, marble
and granite in the next twelve months.
Great things are expected from the
of inquiry on Irish rail-
ways which is now sitting in Dublin,
