Conclusion.!
III.
After my ictuin toCerkau aeyuahiiaiicc
ailvi.-cil me ti visit a tevr:: in the south
west, where maimers ate mere primitive.
AeceKlingly I traveled thither, where
women in : shop may be heard talking the
Iiis.li language. I went third class. The
railway tcnnitiated at the town. Falling
into eoiwersatie!! with an intelligent fel
low traveler, he said that he had many
men constructing a read. lie was a stew
aid or overseer. Leeking out at the coun
try, I asked, " Why arc there no barns?"
' They have nothing te put into barns,"
he replied. ''They sell their hay in the
fields, and thresh their grain and get it
quickly into market. They even scll their
straw sometimes te meet their rent. Then
when spring conies the landlord endorses
for them in the hank. This answers for
one year. On the next year the farmer
must go te a money lender, te whom he
signs a note for-2., receiving only 20.''
n intelligent Protestant te whom I
lead this statement made some eerree
tieus. Jle said that the landlord would
only endorse for the lent, and Che money
lender would charge 10 or 15 per cent.
I cannot substitute a name for that of
my next witnessrs. . It is tee well known,
having been mentioned in Parliament.
Jehn Coppitheriie is a Methodist. In pol
itics he is a Conservative, lie says that if
peer Beacons-field weie in there would net
lie any of th'.se disturbances. He bar, a
shop. He is a dyer, coloring friezj fir
countryfelks. He rents several act e ei
land, and finally, unfertus.ate for him, he
lets " cars" erkeeps a small posting es
tablishment. It is en account of letting
vehicles te the police that he is Boycotted.
He has lived for fifty-two years in the
town of Skibbcrccn, in the southwest near
Cape Clear. Skibberreen is the terminus
of the railiead, but beyond lies Skull.,
the lesidence of Father Murphy. Father
Muriibv is a nuiet Catholic miest. One
day a police officer went into his home fe j
get him te use his influence with the pee !
pie. But Father Sheehy was already in .
jail, and the people, seeing tho'peliceman, ;
Hew te the idea that Father -Murphy was '
te be appiehcndcd. A riot impended, and ;
a messcnge was sent, te Skibbereen for a
,0.C!Ierce:nent ei i police,
. , .
hoe. -Net many posies
efiicers were there, but they sent as many ,
as they thought they could sp.tre, and tin- j
feitunate Jehn CoppiUierne let them have (
cars te convey them, having no idea that i
the people would In.eak out as they did.
Mrs. Coppitherne was extremely alarmed j
when the mob attacked the l'ec. They
beau about 9 n. m . and continued at in- '
I teivals until daylight, or about half-past
J 2. Window.--, doers and shutters were !
broken. These were women among the j
1 rioter?. They brought stones in their
, aprons and encouraged the men. Herns J
; were blown "all night en the sun minding j
; hills conch shells and cows" borne. The
military arrived by special train at " a.
1 in.. " and their anival war, as grateful as
. at Lueknew," said Mrs. Coppitheine.
I At an early hour of the night .-emc: el
J the mob suggested te the priest that if the
! armed police were withdrawn they them
selves would disperse. The. stipendiary
! magistrate agreed te the preposition. The
; stipendiary, or paid magistrates, com
'mantis the armed forces, soldiers and po pe
' lice in ease of liet. Se the police v,i?h
1 di cw te barracks and the mob took the !
1 priest en their shoulders and carried him i
! home. The magistrate retired te his
i hotel and the mob came back in double
1 force. Having before confined their efforts
j te the upper windows, they new attacked
j the doers and' -ihntters below, and pliin
deied the shop.
After all it was a lais-.u alai'Ci, as r-atner
Murphy was net appi eheudetL Teat s came
into Coppitherne' s eyes wliei'i 1 asked him
the amount of his losses. I" hear that he
claims damages te the extent of 800. He
says that bis business, worth pjihaps '.'COO
a year, is almost entiiely luiw-d. Some
times the people- 'will come eicej-ing in,
perhaps with a permit te get frieze
left te be dyed before the riot. There
was a man in the shop while I was there,
who wanted some frieze which some
ene had left for a petticoat. He had lest
the ticket. The clerk declined te let him
have it. "Only that the book was tern,"
he savs. "I could let von have it.'' tee the
3 it. se ttie ;
inconvenience el tcarin
books is net only i
en one side.
Jehn Coppitherne is familiar with the
pecuniary condition of the farmer. AVe
could hardly expect him te be prejudiced
in the farmer's favor. It is therefore re
mnrkabln that be confirms Hie rciiest of
j the desperate condition of many of them
i Of working farrneis around him, lie cs-tt-i
mates that ten par cent, have barns,
i About, fiftv nor cent, sell their hay. Thtn
beisesWitul cows are fed in the winter en
the young sheets of the furze, chopped up
for the purpose. It U like donkeys eating
thistles. Fiftv ner ecut. of the larmers
sell their straw, and buy guano and phos
phates. These are the small, unthrifty
farmers. The large ones buy these, and
use barnyard manure also. But about
fifty per" cent, am never forehanded
enough te be able te make manure in the
winter sufficient te keen their land up te
the standard. Peer creatures that have
only a few acres can be seen going security
for caeh ether in the spring te buy guano
for their potato ground. They live en p:-
tatees, fish, milk and Indian meal g-.ucl.
If thick, it is cruel ; if thin, porridge.
About the same percentage sell all their
grain te meet their rent and pressing c!e-
mands, aud then buy, often en credit, te
feed themselves and animals. They br.y
their seed grain en credit at a high rate,
paying, if they pay at all. after the next
hut vest. Legal pieecss is net infrequently
used te oblige thein te pay. If money had
net been sent into Ireland, and relief
afforded by benevolent poisons, half of the.
farmers would net have had seed potatoes
in the spring of 1SS0.
Others at Skibbereen said that the c :n
petition is tee great when farms are te be
rented, and some farms arc entiiely tee
small te support a family, even if the had
them rent lice. Near the seacoast air
cxi&teuce can be eked out by fishing, but
there arc many in Iicland cultivating live
acres or less.
During v.;- visit te Skibbereen I fc.rw a
funeral The corpse was followed by
wailing women, for this old cir-.tem still
prevails. They buried the body at tire
graveyard of the abbey, an old ruin, whe: a
the dead were buried cefiiuless during the
famine. At that time some of the people
buried their dead in fields near their
houses, aud 1 he parish cart went reuud
and took up dead bodies that were buried
in trenches. This great famine was caused
by the potato ret. A gentleman told me
that at that time ninetcen-twenticths of
the people rarely ate bread.
While in the County Cerk 1 met another
person well qualified te speak of the con
dition of farmers. 3Iichae! McBride's oc
cupations were multifarious. He kept a
shop, aud a public house distinct fre.n it.
lie farmed many acres of land iu different
tracts. He sold his cattle at the fair. A
public heuse is a drinking place, but Mc
Hrids said that be drank no liquor him
self. He was net a member of the Land
League. He turned out a tenant aud suf
fered by the League. While he talked iu
a retired corner ire occasionally spoke in a
loud voice, as though for ethers te hear,
in this manner : " England is getting
1G,000.000 pounds a year out of this un
fortunate ceuutry, and plunging people
into jail under the coercion act for saying
nothing but the truth.''
McBride appointed an hour for me te
call again. Iu the evening he had te go
out and raise contributions for the peer of
the parish. " A very w ild summer, tlrauk
Ged." he said, meaning a cold summer,
unfavorable te agriculture. ' We thank
Ged for everything,'' said the landlady,
" Geed, bad or indifferent. One of my
English cousins could net believe that
theie wara:iy reality in thanking Ged for
bad things." MeBride said that he held
much land. Oi course you employ some
one te work it for you ?" I asked.
' Oh, bedad, yes,"' he replied.
He said that there arc men who seil
ftfceir clever green when iu want of money,
and who vill even take off twoeY- three
crops in the year and sell them green. He
raid that of private bankers and money
leaders at exorbitant rates there are twenty
in Cerk, some of them p.twnbrekei.3. Iu
various towns there are many peer people
who pawn their clothing en Monday and
redeem it en Saturday. The peer farmer
ells his hay, straw ami turnips te pay his
rent, aud therefore cannot make barnyard
manuie in the winter. Guaue was selling
at JL'le the ten. " It is a gieat evil te rely
en," said McBride. ''The peer larmer
may sell his eats at the glut of the mar
ket at .'5 a ten, and afterwa.d buy Indian
meal at i'T te feed his animals and him
self." In February McBride paid JL7 per teu for
hay, but in the preceding summer at har
vest the same quality was less than 2 per
ten. He showed me a nete which he had
signed te prevent a small farmer or peer
man front being turned out. Such must
have two endorsers. McBride's signature
was enough, however, because he was a
man of means. At first be refused. The
man wept bittcily, ler he was te be stived
with a writ if he did net pay that day.

McBride said that thegre.it e.iuse-ef the
piesent embarrassment is lu three bad
years of 1877, "78 and '70 Oats, wheat,
bailey and potatoes were bad. Seme eat
fields were never cut. McBride said that

would need three geed harvests te bring

.iter leaving the County Cerk I spent a
few .lays in Dublin. Frem persons en
the train thither and in that city I ob
tained information concerning ether per
tiens of Ticlaud. Te this I add the testi
iiifiiiy of an Irish gentleman well known ,
iu politic.-1, ,.l,.r:u I met in Londen. j
A young mm ;:nm the county of Lim
erick said that that county is all pasture.
Xet meie than feity per cent, of the farm- (
eis in his neighborhood could afford te j
save hay and straw and feed cattle in win- ,
tcr for manure. Fawns average from forty j
te fifty acres, some being as small as ten. j
lie knew ene man who farmed eyer 200
acies, ami paid L':5 5s. per acre tlieiefer. ,
lie had two or three acres iu potatoes and
the same in eats, but all the rest in pas
tine.
V.v.i he make money ?'' L asked.
Net i he.ee late years," he replied. '"He
is fceivcd wish an ejectment because he
eiu't pay his rent."
Nene of our tarmei.s will be surprised
that a man ean't make money en gi ass
land at a rent of about 810 or S17 per
acre.
Anether pa-wengcr. who was from Tip-
nci-iirv. bam that, v.itli tew exceptions, tue
i-u-uicrs of that county can keep cattle in
winter aud keep up their farms. I ake the
whole of Ireland, however, and farm lands
are diteiierating in value. In Tipperary

cal '"ntlenian above alluded te who knew
tin- eeunty well. In politics he is net in
l1 i..i.j .... ,
unity witii 1 arncll. and is opposed te the
L.iiu'i League.
' Tim erarv," sa'ui he, "has net eflate
i juii'ereil se much as ethcrilistiicts. Thirty
m- lorry years age the larmers were entire
ly at the mercy of their landlords. They
took the lav.-" into their own hands and
fought for their fauns, sheeting down the
laudleids or their agent. Many of them
were handed or transported. The land
bill of 1ST , lie continued, " extended te
all Ircl.itul, restrains the landlord from
evict-mi tenauts without lease.-!, utiles;
J paying t'.icm for their improvements.'' He
I Snys that the present trouble is caused
j mainly by landlords demanding increased
I rents."
Anether srentlcmaii said that the previ-
.s;0iis of the proposed land bill, by which
the tenant is te held his land as long as he
pays his rent, will de away with all abuses.
The Three F's of the land bill are : Fir. t. I
Free sale that is, the tenant is te have
the privilege of selling his risht iu the
farm. Second. Fixity of tenure, and third,
Fair rent, te be determined by a court.
When 1 arrived at Dublin I ledged at
two different temperance houses. In one
I met a plain man from the County (Jul
way, in the west. He kept :i shop and
was a dealer in hides. He traded from
town te tewrr. Of the fanners of Gahvay
he estimated that seventy per cent.
arc
unable te mv their rent unless they sell
her.se, cow, and calves. Even then they
would be left in debt te the shopkeepsr.
He complained greatly of the recent
coercion act, under which, hesajs, worthy
citizens arc apprehended or aie iu danger.
One fellow ledger was a Methodist
minister from the County Fermanagh, in
the north. He has teeu attending the
Cerk conference. He complained of the
increase of luxury among larmers iu buy
ing tea and bread and in "the clothing of
their daughters. He berated them for
spending two days a week at market, ami
five or six shillings each time iu treating
each ether.
" But your congregations arc net of this
class?" I said.
"Indeed they are," he answered.
" There arc persona in my ceugrs gatien
who come home tipsv every market
night."
He afterward took out some change aud
called for a bottle of ale. They seat out
and get it for him.
I was much interested in the conversa
tion of two men who were dining at the
house. One of them, a young man, sai d
that the Three F's would net satisfy the
Land Leaguers. They wanted the cxtcr
miuatien of the landlords aud the posses
sion of the laud. The ether did net

a nice thing ler you te be paying JL'2 10s.
for laud aud a Laud Leaguer ever the
fence be getting it for half the money. I
am an Orangeman," he added. ' and the
son of an Orangeman, and the grandson
of aa Orangeman ; yet I am greatly iu
sympathy with the p.Ku suilering ten
antry of this ceuutry."
lie said that he was a landlord iu a
small way, five or six hundred pounds a
year, ami that he was new lying out of
reuts. Rather than disturb tenants he
had paid as high as ten per cent, for
money, "and glad te get it at that." He
was originally front the County Cav.tn.
He said that tire average size of farms
there is about twelve acres. Seme have
thirty. About twenty per eent. of the
farmers own horses. Many keep donkeys,
but these are unlit for farming. They put
out manure with jennets, which are net
lit for plowing. The peer farmer must
wait until the richer one has done plowing
se as te hire horses, aud then the land i.-
plowed shallow and injured. Betli speak
ers were agreed en the trouble of hiring
horses. Yeu must pay ten shillings a day
for a pair, feed them and the plowman,
and give him several glasses of whisky.
If you have cash iu hand you can get
horses when you will : hut tlie small
fanner cannot pay until he has harvested
his crop. He generally pays labor iu ex
change for horses.
A suggestion that the British govern
ment buy tliu lands of Ireland, rent thein
for the space of thirty years, and that the
people should then become possessors,
met witii some favor. The Irish politician
whom I met in Louden found two objec
tions te this plan : Fissr, that it would
take from the country thecultivated class ;
and, second, that, for thirty years it would
drain the emnlry of money.

The following is Senater Bayard's letti
of regret te the Bosten Democrat;! ce!
brat ing Washington's birthday :

" Washington, February 1G. ) j
Culencl. James II. French. Chairman of the
Demenrni' .Sl.tc VOMUiittr'e nf Massachu- J
setts : ,
"Deah sut : I feel houeied an i gratT- .
lied by y. ., most eerdial invitation te
meet your committee at dinner at the
Parker house, in Bosten, en the '2: in
stant. Th-temptation te accept your in ,
vitatien is hard te resist, and nothing but J
the formation of a private engagement :
for the 21st ir.st., and the piessine
! of abundant public duties here, pre- j
i vent mv ready acceptance and under
taking the journey te Bosten iu the ,
purpose of joining with men of my own j
political faith and brotherhood in cum- ;
mcnierating the birthday of the great i
American whose influence en our country j
and the .sentiments and -character of its ;
people are best represented by the princi- j
pies of the Democratic patty. When we j
hear in the halls of CougreF, and never '
from a Democrat, appeal:? te sectional .
hatred aud prejudice we recall the solemn
warning of the ' fareweli address.' i
When .suggestions of the creation aud
perpetuation of a false money net founded ,
upon value are made, we recall his j
honest indignation against all such
unjust and dishonest legal tender for lien- I
est debts. When we witness the censum !
niatien of a .shameless bargain by which '
tin political control of the state el his
bit th is sold te the ministers and a-lve
cates of repudiation aud dishonesty, we
lentr for the restoration of his inllnciree
anil example te rebuke and denounce the :
corrupt and degenerate men who havcilir-- J
regarded or forgotten the lessen, of his i
noble life. On every occasion when we I
can receive and commemorate the virtues !
that made the name of Washington i.n
mortal, let us net fail or emit te ava 1 t
eiuselvcs of it. j
" Cemey te your rsseaiates my sjree e j
thanks for their kind remembrance and
express my sincere regrets that I cannot i
be present at their patriotic banquet.
