rNrERNArroNAL WHEAT REVIEW

LIVERPOOL. Dec. 17.-The market ruled
apathetic during the week. with declining
tendency. The principal factors were rain
In India and the favorable weather in Argen-
tina for harvesting and larger proportion of
the worlds shipments destined to the United
Kingdom. European dullness Is probably in
fuenced by the approaching holidays, but some
claim that the real reason for the dullness is
that buyers immediate needs are well pro-
vided for, as stocks ashore and ahoat are
alleged to be large. and the quantities Of
native wheat held by growers in western
Europe are also large. Shipments are now on
moderate scale, but there is little likelihood
that there will be any appreciable decrease
from present figures owing to the fact that
contributions from North America and the Black
sea are expected to continue about the present
level. and after the new year good Increase
Is expected both from Argentina and Aus
tralia Therefore, II is fair to expect that
there VIII be no evident lack of wheat. but
the general position Is such as to encoura re
marketing so heavy that prices will be forced
down much below the present level

IRISH PEER AND IRISH
LANGUAGE.

On Saturday night LOrd ASnDOurne
opened the winter session Of the
Gaelic League at their headquarters,
st. Andrews Hall, Newman street,
oxford street, London. Lord Ash
bourne wore kilt, and welcomed the
members of the league In Gaelic.
Speaking in English, Lord Ash
bourne said he was in rather diff
cult position, because he spent most
of his life in trying to get rid of that
terrible language which had got into
the mind of all-the English tongue.
In Ireland the real English tongue
would never be theirs. They might
go from one end of ireland to the
other, and the only difference they
would find in the speech of the peo-
pie was the number of English words
they used, or the difference between
those who had only used Gaelic or
English words.
There was no other language for
Ireland than Irish, and there never
would be. He had for years past been
wondering II 1t would ever be posi-
BILE to address big meeting Of citi-
zens in the large hall of town in
Irish without speaking English. He
knew that it could be done in Come
mara, in Donegal, and in parts Of
Kerry, and it was always possible to
collect Irish speakers in a crowd in
the open air, but he had often won
dered whether it could be done in a
large hall in a town, and 1t so hap
pened the other day that in the cap.
ital Of the Black North-Belfast-he
arrived there at meeting in a big
hall, and just as he was about to
speak, a friend on the. platform said
to him, Don't speak a word of Eng
fish," and he did not. He went
through altogether in Irish, and his
speech appeared in the morning pa.
pers next day.

IREL.AND'S TRADE

The annual report Of the Depart.
ment Of Agriculture on the trade i'm
ports and exports at Irish ports dur.
ing 1912 states that the total import
and export trade in 1912 10 estimated
at e140,766,687, as compared with
R131 .951,s09 in 1911, an increase of
GS,S13.S2S.
The imports amounted to a73,1s9..
119, and the exports to se7,626,518.
The increase in 1912, as compared
with 1911, has taken place both in
imports and exports. the increase in
imports being G6,414,121, and in OK.
ports. s3,399,7O7.
The trade for 1912 has exceeded
that of any Of the nine years, 19o4.12.
The following table shows the excess
OF the imports and exports last year
over those of the previous years:
The Irish standard. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn. ;) 1886-1920, 1913-11-08

The values Of imports have shown
an increase each year since 1904 with
the exception Of 1908. and the exports
an increase each year with the excep-
ton Of 1908 and 1911. In considering
however, the increases and decreases
the reports point out that the rise
and fall in the total value IL largely
due to the rise or fall in the prices of
commodities. Since 1895 there has
been marked upward tendency in
prices, and considering in particular
the period from 1904 to 1912, It ap-
pears that prices fell in 1906, rose in
1906 and 1907. fell in 1908, and in
creased again in 1909, 1910, 1911 and
1912. The increase in the actual
volume Of trade, though satisfactory,
Is, therefore, not quite SO great as the
above figures would appear to imply.

continued Lord Ashbourne, would
have tendency to give self-respect
to the people. Instead, of being bad
imitators Of John Bull. they would be
real Irish men and women and anx.
ious to help their country. 1t would
be possible to go through the politi.
cal and social history Of many coun-
tries in support Of the view that. the
best thing people could do was to
be true to their own language. One
great fact which predominated above
all others was. that they in Ireland
we're determined that IL they could
they would make their country great
and free and Independent and self
respecting again. and for that reason
they all wished to make Ireland Irish
again and put ireland in It's proper
station.
II the practical or cultured man
spoke in opposition he could crush
him with the reply that John Bull
was the most prejudiced, insular, mar
row-minded and impossible person
that the world had ever seen. Any.
body who had knocked about on the
Continent knew what an absolute fool
John Bull was when they met him.
What the Irish wanted was to be
in touch with the world. They want.
ed to be progressive people. to 60 for
ward in commerce and in every other
way. They wanted to be among the
cultured people Of the world, to know
what was going on outside their own
country, and the best way to do that
was that they should be 1rish-that
instead OF speaking a language that
tended to isolate them they should
speak only their native tongue. They
had a people in England whose Ian
guage was dying, and they must avoid
the English language because it would
spoil them for any other.

The figures in regard to exports of

ing as showing the effect Of the re-

movements begin when one man steps
out and is willing to stand alone. The
most paralyzing thing in this world is
mathematics-when one waits to act
till counts. Until somebody proves
that he is willing to stand for a thing
alone attention is not paid to 1t, but
the moment he stands out, especially
when persecution begins, then they
think about 1t and the more persecu-
ton the more they think.
A few years ago they had Boxer
trouble over in China and because Of
that Boxer trouble thousands of Chi
nese were put to death. Chinese Chris
tians died for their faith, and what
was the result? The result was that
this manifestation Of their faith gave
an impetus to their religion, and Chris
tianity has marched forward in China
more since the Boxer trouble than
ever before; and the greatest tribute
ever paid to our religion was paid in
that country. where I suppose it lie
safe to say that less than one per cent
of the people, cannot give the exact
hgure-I think much less than one per
cent are Christians, but, anyhow, it
is a very small percentage. And yet
80 deeply has Christianity impressed

the people. After great fight and
a great victory for the people OH the
subject of taxation the House of Com
mons challenged the House Of Lords
to mortal combat on one Of the funda-
mental doctrines of government, name
ly, that hereafter the people Of Great
Britain, instead of speaking through d
hereditary body, would speak only
through those whom they elected to
power, and when the people had en-
dorsed this doctrine and when the
House of Lords resisted. the Premier
went to the King and presented the
peoples plea, and the King took the
side of the people and indicated his
willingness to create enough peers to
outvote those who were opposed to
acquiescence in the demand of tile
House of Commons. and in the presence
of this the House Of Lords yielded,
and when the time came to vote
enough peers deliberately absented
themselves to make certain that the
resolution would pass and thus the
most ancient and most illustrious of
all hereditary bodies of the globe
bows before the onsweeping tide that
rolls around the world. And 1 suppose
that those members Of the Knights of
Columbus who trace their ancestors to
the Emerald Isle are not ashamed OF
