May 5, 1870 issue

add to cart close window

This article focuses on the Irish Land Bill. There is an extreme complexity in the Land Bill— a complexity which is only too characteristic of British Prime Minister William Ewart Gladstone habitual methods of reasoning. The consequence is that the bill is rapidly getting to be amongst those things which no fellow can understand. The bill, or rather some bill founded upon the present proposal, will be certainly passed, for the credit not only of the British government, but of Parliament, is pledged to passing one.
