from the Coercion Acts with which he
had thought to kill Irish sentiment.
Till finally, in the middle of the
SOS, Gladstone came forward with a
large measure of Home Rule-which
measure the Tory element in Eng
land finally wrecked. In the early
COS, Gladstone, coming into power
again, put forward another weaker
Home Rule measure-which was lost
also-by the power of the House of
Lords.
The present so-called Home Rule
Bill is Home Rule in it's most diluted
form-because while creating what
it would call an Irish. parliament, it
reserves to the British parliament the
power over all larger national things
in Ireland-chief among them being
Irish taXation-and to call bill
which gives us no say in our own
taxes a Home Rule bill is a joke that
even an Englishman would almost
see.
Moreover, the present so-called
Home Rule Bill ordains that any bill
which the so-called Irish parliament
passes one day may be put into the
waste basket by the British parlia-
ment the next day.
Summarizing the bill, it is a lame
mans step in the right direction.
But the main thing is that, as Ire
land has been for seven hundred
years now fighting for national indie
pendence-complete separation from
England-even a measure of Home
Rule as full and complete as the pres
ent measure is defective, would still
only be regarded by our people as a
milestone attained on the Journey,
Having got such a measure, they
would hardly pause to draw breath
before pressing onward toward their
