English 6.

DEBATE OF NOVEMBER 9, 1887.

J. M. Hallowell and H. W. Hervey.

I. Irish grievances arise not from political causes, but on account of a false and vicious land system.- Nation, Sept. 1, 15, 1887; Dicey, England's Case against Ireland; Kay's Free Trade in Land.

II. The same grievances exist in England.- Dicey, England's Case against Ireland; Edinburgh Review, Jan., 1887.

III. A political change will not cure a social evil. Home rule would only aggravate the troubles, whereas what is needed is an entire change of the land system throughout all Great Britain.

III. Home rule would have an evil effect upon Ireland.
