Two-ThIrds Of People Farmers.
Land Is Ireland's chief source Of
revenue. In population of four mil
lions the rural classes, tenants and
farm laborers and their families, are
two-thirds. This population depends
directly for its daily life upon the
profit from fifteen million acres Of
cultivable land. In continental Eu-
rope the peasant. driven by poverty
from the land, goes to the factory In
the town. Excepting in Belfast, with
- linen. and in Dublin, with its beer,
and some smaller places along eastern
Ireland. there are no Irish factories
OF consequence. The Irish peasant
who can not pick up a living in the
fields goes not to a factory in the
town but to America.
