Book Description

Excerpt from England's Wealth Ireland's Poverty, Vol. 9 IT may be thought that the present is not an opportune time to issue a book upon the Irish question. The subject is supposed, for the moment, to have sunk somewhat into the back ground. I do not think that this opinion will prove to be correct, but it can only exist with regard to grievances which have been dis cussed. In Ireland, as in other places, a claim irresistible in its urgency may arise at any moment, and, if such a claim should prove easy to understand and to deal with, there is nothing in the state of public business to prevent its being considered. An issue of this nature has been raised since the last Parliament was dissolved, in the facts which have been disclosed with regard to the taxation of Ireland. Since 1801 the re sources oi English statesmanship have been strained by the difficulty of adjusting the burden of taxation between two communities.
