TENANT-RIGHT SCHEMES. 49 



England or the Lowlands of Scotland. It is 

 not from the pockets of English landlords that 

 English labourers receive this immense sum, 

 but from the pockets of English farmers ; and 

 in Ireland it must be taken from the same 

 quarter, before the two countries can attain to 

 similarity as to the point under discussion. 



2. The multifarious schemes of tenant-right 

 now in agitation. Our limits will not allow us even 

 to enumerate the many theories advanced upon 

 this subject, which at present engrosses so much 

 of the attention of the agricultural world. We 

 therefore concede to all parties the justness of 

 their own theories, and assume that one and 

 all of them tend to forward the advancement 

 of the agricultural interest of Ireland to a level 

 with the agricultural interest of England. 

 This is obviously the final result which all 

 parties calculate upon. TVe do not believe 

 that Mr. Crawford, or any of his compeers, 

 wishes to advance the incomes of the farmers 

 or agricultural labourers of the sister country 

 beyond the incomes of those of England; 

 neither can we, in fairness and respect for their 

 avowed liberality, suppose for a moment that 

 they entertain anything less.
