Mr.. Tustin has spent some time at the
Department Of Agriculture, where he met
Dr. Wiley yesterday. 10 whom he paid
the highest compliments for efficiency and
affability. Mr.. Tustin said that he was
shown every opportunity by the offiolals
Of the department to study the particu-
lar subjects in which ne is specifically

but I do not know where there is an

in South Africa and South America. in

York State
The great majority OF people every

for progressive ideas said Mr.. Fischer.
Il travel a great deal. and although not

politics. II will be realized before long

Ireland needs young men and women
in order 10 develop its resources, and
not money. according to ". s Kidd. q
linen manufacturer OF Belfast and New
York. who is at the New Willard.
The government before long viii lie
compelled to provide means and induce
ments 10 keep the young people who now
leave their home as soon as they are OF
use there, at home. No matter what ar
guments and inducements are made by
private concerns and establishments 10
persuade the young men and women 20
stay in Ireland and help develop the
country and its resources and industries,
they disregard these entreaties and leave
yearly BY the thousands. Manufacturing
concerns, especially in the North OF Ire
land, find considerable trouble IN supply
ing the necessary hands 10 run their es-
Establishments. I have no idea where the
workers come from, unless they come
over from England and Scotland. In
stead Of fighting for home rule in the
British Parliament, the Irish party ought
to provide ways and means 10 keep the
people in the country. OF what use IS a
country without any people in It?
"The linen industry Is booming, and
we are doing double the amount OF bust
ness we were doing year ago. Our ex-
ports to South America have increased
at a tremendous rate. Lady Aberdeen
has done a great deal 10 popuiarize
Irish lace, and has giving this industry
a great help everywhere. Home rule
is IN a dormant state. the act OF Par
lament which enables tenants 20 buy
their land having accomplished a great
deal toward bringing about better feel
ing between the English government and
the Irish people.
There is only one serious matter wor-
rying us. and that IS the ever increasing
number of people out OF employment in
the large manufacturing centers in Eng
land There are thousands and hun
dreds of thousands In London, Man
chester, Leeds, and other places. II is
the English free trade policy which is
