As the result of such infamous laws,
the Irish became rebellious and dis.
contented people. During the last
century there have been four open
instructions. British rule has been
maintained only by suspending the
habeas corpus act for twenty years,
and by enforcing upon the Irish for
forty-five other years the most dras-
tic coercion acts.
This was accomplished by the use
Of a standing army of from thirty to
sixty thousand men.
It is high time that this injustice
should cease and that the racial ami
mosities of seven hundred years be
eliminated by giving to Ireland what
Great Britain contends she is strug-
Cling to obtain for other weak ma
lions.
