LANDLORDISM

As it is in Ireland; as it was in rince Edward Island.

To the President of the Charlottetown Land

i Leagn é

Drak Sir,—Some time ago I received a letter from your Secretary requesting me to write an article on ‘*Landlordism as it is in Ireland ; as it was in P, E. Island.” I regret that from unavoidable causes I have been unable till now to comply with that request, and I still more regret that the duty has not fallen on one having more leisure and ability for the treatment of a subject which has attained so great im- portance, that it is attracting the attention of the whole Empire, I may say of the whole civilized world—yet I yield to none in strenuous opposition to the hateful and unnatural system of land tenure—termed Landlordism, or in heartfelt sympathy with the unfortunate victims of its op- pression.

| On this side of the Atlantic the results

of education and the spread of intelligence are more rapid than in the Old World, and sre unobstructed by that intolerant con- servatism which holds fast by long existing systems ; and, even with the liberal portion of the people, shuts its eyes to the most pernicious state of things, if only it be of long standing, and antiquity throws an invisible cloak over every evil.

The people cf this Island long ago saw that ‘‘unrestricted private property in land” was wrong in principle and lead to grievous injustice; they determined to abolish it, and by earnest, vigorous and unremitting agitation they accomplished their object, and Landlordism with us is extinct. | But the evils of the system here, though sufliciently manifest, were nothing in com- ‘parison to those endured by the unhappy ‘tenantry of Ireland. There the scarcity of land in proportion to a rapidly increasing agricultural population, caused such a de- mand that rents went up to famine prices, farms attained a fictitious value, and were ‘taken at exorbitant sums, which could not be realized from the soil except by the | most incessant labor and the most pinching frugality, and in very many cases even | these did not avail, and the farmer found ‘himself, notwithstanding his utmost efforts and strictest ceonomy, falling into arrears and snbject to the cruel process of eviction ‘for non-payment of arent which the pro- ceedings of the Land Court have since ‘proved to have been outrageously exurbit- ant. | In one instance only in this Islend could the hardships of the tenant be compared to those of Ireland—I allude to the | Tracadie Estate, where high rents, short ‘leases, and a needy, grasping and unfeel- ing landlord, combined to produce more ‘misery than Lever egain hope to witness. |A Tracadie tenant could be known any- , where, by his anxicus, worn and harrassed ‘countenance, with a furtive glance which, (as one of them graphically described to me when [ had the honor of sitting in the ‘Land Court as Commissioner for the , tenantry) had to keep one eye on the stump he was endeavoring to uproot, and the ‘other looking round to see that the con- ‘stable did not get a chance to pounce upon him, before he could start for the woods.

But it is not to the harrowing details of the system that I wish to draw attention, it is to the inherent viciousness of the prit ciple that permits the monopoly by a few of that which is an essential to human exist- ence.

{ Landlordism is a relic of feudalism, be- gueathed to us from an age when force and fraud were rampant—born of despotism— ‘begoiten by robbery and rapacity, fed and nurtured by centuries of ciuclty and ,eppression, and maintained by the might that makes right, can we wonder that its ‘offspring should be misery and faniine, out- rage and undying hate.

' Strange, that in that age, if a poor man stole a cow or a sheep, he was hanged out ‘of hand, but if a rich wan with an army at ‘his back stole both the cattle and sheep and ‘the land on which they fed as well, he was | lauded asa hero, and in due process of time died in the full odor of sanctity.

Thank Ged there has been a change of ‘sentiment since then, and [ devoutly and |hopefully trust that a still greater change |will take place, when the force of public opinion wil] put an end to a system, having ‘ita origin in robbery, and existing by legal- ‘iged extorticn. | From the soil all wealth originates—the |anufacturer may add to it, the banker and imerchant may accumulate, but the farmer ‘alone creates it, without the farmers’ sur- |plus, manufactures could not have existed. ‘A country becomes wealthy in proportion to the number of its inhabitants, ‘who find profitable employment, as ‘its agricultural resources become de- |veloped, capital accumulates, this capital \is used to start manufactures, which give ‘employment to the surplus agricultural population; thus one industry leads to an- ,other; tie whole of the people are profitably ‘occupied, and the country prospers and Le- comes wealthy. One source of Ireland’s |difficulty is that the surplus wealth taken from her soil is, to a great extent, carried ‘off by absentee landlords; thus, year by lyear, drawing away the capital which |should be invested in Irish manufactures, | but now gees to build up those of England and France, and which wou'd give employ- ment to the superabundant peasantry, who have either to emigrate or remain in num- ‘bers aliogether disproportionate to the ‘amount of ewployment,crowding each othet and existing in a state of semi-idleness and more than semi-starvation,

It is the fashion te speak of the Irish peasant as idle and thriftless. This is the opinion of men who look only on the sur- face, and is formed from imperfect informa- tion.

What better evidence in disproof of , this calumy can be required, than is found in the condition of the Irish cettlers in ‘this Province. In Hope River, in Lots 29

ee ee ee

a

and 30, in Covehead Road, in Fort Augus- tus and Montague, and other Irish settle- ments, can be seen, as industrious, thrifty and prosperous a body of men as any coun- try can produce. The Irish peasant is naturally industrions and a free worker; but the want of continuous profitable em- ployment have induced habits of idleness— not the least of the evils following in the train of landlordism,

The Land Act will not prove a panacea for Ireland's troubles; but it may be of service in two ways; Ist, as indicating the existence of a clearer and more enlightened view of the question, and as an admission on the part of the Biitish public that an injustice exist; and, 2nd, és proving in- contestably that the tenant was paying from thirty to fifty per cent. mere for the land than it was worth—thus giving a fairer basis for future purchase. Bui it is not tho amelioration of the tenants’ posi- tion that is wanted; it is the absolute ex- tinction of the present system cf land tenure.

In this utilitarian age all classes must do something for the common good—the farm- ers, the merchant, the manufacturer, the mechanic and the laborer are useful and necessary parts of the body politic; mem- bers of the learned professions may be deemed necessary evils; but they ave neces- sary, and all labor for the general welfare-—the landlord alene is a drone— unnecessary, useless and incubus— a leech drawing away the life blood of Ire- land’s prosperity, paralyzing her energies ~ inflicting upon her an endless train of evils.

Now what is the remedy for this state of things? The proprietors’ title to the land is incontestible, ard his interest nust be purchased. England is 1 ble, first for alienating of the lands 6f Ireland and granting them to her favorites ; secondly by long years of mis-governipent, agera- vating the wrony she first initiated. Now she owes it to Ireland to extingnish the hatred and unjust land tenure. To carry this out a compulsory purchase bill must be passed, formed on the eame basis as that which has proved so suc- cessful in this Island. A loan grant- ed to the Land Court at a Jow rate of interest for the purchase of the proprietors’ interest, the land to be scold to the tenant on easy terms, the purchase money to be paid by instalments, as has been done in this Province ; a further loan to the Land Court for the reclamation of waste Jands, the work on which would give constant and remunerative employment te the peasants, who should be allowed to purchase the lands when reclaimed.

Jreland, released from the deadly em- brace of the octopus of landlordism, baving such @ measure of self-government’ as the Provinces of this Dominion possess, would betontented, happy and prosperous, and instead of being a thorn in the side of, and a source of weakness to, the Empire, would be a tower of stfehgth. The Emerald Isle would become the brightest jewel in the British Crown.

_ It may be said, and with much truth, it is easy to suggest a remedy, but how is it to be carried out? I say by agitation, vigorous, persistent, unremitting but peace- ful agitation—let associations such as yours be formed in every town in Ireland-—

in every town in England, in every town -

and villiage in America, let the “ sinews of war” be abundant; let every lover of Ireland open bis {puree, lift up his voice, weild his pen, but stay his hand—force ean never avail. Violence is worse than useless, as alienating the sympathies of those whose sympathy is essential to suc- cess.

In conelusion, Mr. President, I must apolegise for the crude and hasty manner in which these few ideas have been ihrown together, and must plead as my excuse a multiplicity of engagements and constant interruptions. 1 ask you to look upon thia as the text of an article, more worthy of the subject, which at a future time I hope to have leisure to write and make, and if my feeble efforts shall avail to awaken an interest in the breasts, even of a few of the many whe now look upon Ireland's troubles with indifference, I shall be amply repaid by the thought that I have contributed in ever so small a degree to the restoration of Ireland-—the home of my ancestors—to her proper place among the nations.

Yours truly, J.T, Jenxixs.

A conspicuous illustration of the St. Jacobs Oil as a remedy for rheumatism is found in J. A. Bonham, the well-known lawyer of Philadelphia, Pa., who thus tells his experience : ‘‘ About two weeks ago I was seized with what the doctor called muscular rheumatism in my right Jeg. The leg below the knee was swollen uutil I could hardly stand upon it. I had seen St, Jacobs Oil advertised, and I sent to the drug store near my house, on the corner of Nineteenth and Master strests, for a bot- tle of it. I rubbed my leg with it that night, and in a short time the pain seemed to go away. Next morning the swelling had shifted from under the ankle to the upper part of the knee. Well, I applied the Oil again, and the swelling in a short time went away, leaving a .ery slight pain. I didn’t use any mcre of the Oil, thinking that the attack was all over. About a week later it appeared again in the same place. The leg swelled so badly that, after coming down and walking several squares, I gave completely out. Well, I went home, intending to try some French miedicine, but I forgot to ges it, and having a part of this bottle of St. Jacob’s Oil in the house yet, I tried it again, bathing the limb thoroughly. Well, sir, when I got up in the morning the pain and swelling were both almost gone, and after one more ap- plication I was as well as ever, and from that time to this I haven't been troubled.”
