Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Fall of Feudalism in Ireland: Or the Story of the Land League Revolution In the following pages I tell the story of an Irish movement which sprang without leaders from the peasantry of the country - a movement which, despite the mistakes and quarrels of some subsequent political guides, has achieved for Ireland the following among other results: The Land Act of 1881, completely revolutionizing the system of land tenure upheld in Ireland for over two centuries by English rule. An Arrears Act, under which the British Legislature sanctioned a breach of contract in rent oppressive to agricultural tenants in its conditions. Laborers´ Dwellings Acts, embodying a rational principle of state socialism. The conversion of Mr. Gladstone and the English Liberal party from the rule of Ireland by Dublin Castle and coercion to the framing of a constitution which would confer a Home Rule government upon the Irish people. The conversion of the English Tory party to the Land League plan of land reform of 1880 - that the only true solution of the Irish agrarian question was to be found in the purchase of the landlords´ interest in the land by the tenant, through the means of a state credit loaned at low interest. The passing of the Ashbourne Purchase Act of 1885 (supplemented in 1888), and the loan of £10,000,000 of such credit as a means to this end. The temporary adhesion of noted Tory leaders to the Home Rule idea, in 1885-80. The introduction by Mr. Gladstone and his party of a Home Rule bill into Parliament in 1886. The enactment in 1887 by Lord Salisbury´s ministry of a land bill which nullified leases, statutory and otherwise, revised more land court rents, and carried other Land League principles into law.
