THE GRIEVANCE OF IRELAND.

JJR DE ' VALERA'S CLAIB&rj BRITAIN SAID TO WANT A _ DISPUTE(UKITEP FREM ASSOCIATION —BV SLECTSM*^ TELEGBAFK- —COPYRIGHT } (Received July 29tb, 11 i^m.) LONDON, Jul.v 29. Addressing 10,000 elector? at College Green, Mr de Yaleva, in opening a country-wide campaign, said it had been the policy of British statesmen for generations to reduce Ireland to a cattle ranch to provide cheap food and to bcT a dumping-ground for British' manufactures. The imposition of the panic tariffs clearly demonstrated the situation, which had to be met by cool and calm courage, and not by paipo action. If the farmers failed to pay the an* nuities to the State, a host of evils, heavily burdening them, would follow, because the State's credit for tha benefit of the individual could pati be resorted to in the hqpe of repayment. Suggestions in regard to making terms should not be entertained. Britain wanted to press this fight, therefore it would be the height foolishness if Ireland thought gooilv, ~1 on her part could prevent it.
