LAND LEAGUE FOR ENGLAND.
A Homo paper says:—A Land League for England seems to he much needed. A Protestant clergyman of the midland Counties complains tiiat 30,000 acres of land in Leicestershire are without a tenant; and a baronet has received from all his tenants, except one, notice of their intention to leave, as the landlord refuses to recognise the existence of the much-complained of depression. From Scotland comes a similar complaint. An Aberdeen farmer declares that half the farmers in his country would be glad to be allowed to leave their holdings, as their leases arc proving their ruin, and it is impossible to keep up their rents, which he points out, are now from 30 to 40 per cent, too high. This is serious. When the shoe begins to pinch the English and Scotch Farmers—which has been for generations seriously pinching small farmers and tenants in Ireland—it is likely that some genuine redress of tho long existing grievances is not far off.
