THE CASE FOR AND AGAINST HOME RULE
NationaIlsts' Argnments.

NatiOnRIists' Arguments.
Ireland's spirit Of nationality de-
mands self government.
No identity OF characteristics or
economic conditions between Great
Britain and Ireland.
Act OF Union, passed in 1901, was
result Of bribery, corruption and
fraud.
1t has crushed trade and industries,
weighted ireland with unjust taxa
tion, fostered discomfort and dissatis-
ton, and has decreased the population
from S,175,00 10 4,3S2,000 In 40 years.
II has made ireland land OF pow
erty and disease, low wages, unsani-
tary dwellings, landlordism, evictions
and starvation.
Ireland today spends more money
on policemen than on school teach
ers.
Every colony in the British Empire
favors self government for ireland be-
cause they have il themselves and
know its value.
Self govern -ment would make Irish
men loyal as it has made Canadians
loyal.
Ulster is not overwhelmingly
Unionist, is not prosperous, Is not
pre-eminently law abiding, nor intel
ligent.
The Irish people have not the
slightest control over the 100000 gov
ernment officials in Ireland who spend
$3,750,000 annually

ski, Thomas Kane and Thomas Sher-
iff. The walkout occurred shortly af-
ter seven o'clock this morning.

nothing more than an increase oi
wages which would put them on the
same scale that is paid the glazers Of
the f. Blumenthal Company, who re-
Gently went on a strike. No demands
were made for shorter hours, as the
men who are out today worked nine
and quarter hours a day.
