A CURE FOR THE DEPRESSION OF TRADE.
A placard with the title, “ The only cure for the Existing Depression of Trade,” has (says a Glasgow paper)been largely posted in the Counties of Meath and Westmeath, and lias attracted considerable attention. Land (it says) must come down to a proper value, about 2s 6d to 5s per acre. The farmers of Great Britain and Ireland must have land that will enable them to compete with the freeholder of America. The and belongs to the people, the Crown, as the representative of the people and guardian of their rights and privileges, being head landlord. Disendow and disestablish landlords, as the Church was disendowed and disestablished. Away with land monopoly. If you want to put a stop to agrarian disputes, outrages, extra police, and vexatious taxation, send no landlords to Parliament, and let your watchword be ‘ God save the Crown arid people.’ The authorship otthe document is unknown.
