Tbe Land Pmoiiage Movement SPEECH ¥X MX JOHN DKLON. DowKPATRiCK Sunday 3 sinuary 20^h. Today a "Nationalist demonstration I under the auspices of the local branches of the United Irish League was held ai> Barren, near Oastlewellan. The Re? Win l><?inpsey, P. P.', Nawcastln presided and there was a large attendance. Mr J h<\ Dillon, m the course of his Bpeeeh, m referring lo compulsory sale, &aid Mr , iluspcll whs a man who had differed, and sti 1 d ffe cd. radically from them on the | question of Hrme Rule, bat there wss ne reason why they should not side with him on the question of aboliehinglandlordism. Be welcomed th^ a^isianceof M; Russell ■t acy other man m driving out of' the country the demon of liiah landlordiera. Be had been, reading the meetings m Ulster denouncing landlordism. Some of the Unionists thought that they could | abolish landlordism without the assistance of the Nationalists. They might be labouring until the day of judgment with out turning a haic In the landlord's head* (Cheers) The landlord! could trample on the Presbyterian farmers without the assistance of Irish Nationalists. Since Mr Ruts ell bad taken up the cause of compulsory sale he was experiencing some of the abuse that used to be lavishei on the Irish Nationalist members. Who won the Land Act of 1870 but the Fenian Organisation 1 (Cheers) Was it the Presbyterians who won the Land Act of 1831? No*; it was Mr Michael Darltt and the Land League.. (Loud cheers) Until the foundation of that organisation by the son of an evicted tenant,landlord' I ism tortured and robbed our people. I all the Presbyterians had been passing resolutions for two hundred years ifc would not have caused th* landlords the loss of a nighi'd a'e^p What was it knocked thet landlords kicking m 1888 bub thi Plan of Campaign? (Cheers J When hi read the report of those meetings which recently took place m Ulster he waa re* minded of the fight that h« himself made m 1896 when the|last Innd Bill was passed m the House of Commons. He was than bold by Mr T W Russell-, and Mr Timothy Bealy~(groans)—that the Land Bill of 1896 settled the Irish land question, and that we would hear of no more L%nd Bills, and that we might give up talking about the Irish land question. He (Mr Dillon) |at that time Baid that many years would not pass over our heads l before we would have another land agitation. The Land Act of 1896 had dona very little for the farmers of Ireland. Drily four years had pasted over, and they were now on the. threshold of one of the greatest agitations that had ever tsken place m Ireland—a great land agitation, an agitation which la his opinion could not Btop until eve f farmer and labourer would be planted m the soil as the owner—(cheers)—a free and independent bnrgher, lika the Trans vaal burgher. (Cheers.) While he wss quite prepared and glad to woik with Mr Russell and the Presbyterian farmers, he desired to say to the Nationalists of this country that they . should keep a close watch on the price that was put on the landf perfect their national organisation, and watch when a bill waa introduced that the landlords would not give a dying kick by leaving a burden which they would not be able to grapple with.
