The landlords still continue to extort, and the tenants to submit to, prices that before the passing of the lat land act would be rightly deemed preposterous. preposter-ous. On the estate of Sir John Keane, -it Youghal. the tenants have apparently apparent-ly ft greed to pay 25U years' purchase y of the fair rent. The tenants on the estate of Captain Marshall Fnge have gone one worse, and actually have agreed to pay 2t5ti years' purchase, witii the bonus raising the price almost to ihirty years' purchase. The argument urged by the landlord in favor of the --ale is that, even a reduction of 3s in (lie pound is better than nothing at all a fallacious argument, because the tenant by purchasing cuts himself off from all hope of further reductions, temporary or permanent. But the landlord's land-lord's position must also be considered.

Thirty years' pur- ' . r,', , : ., chase increase his net income by one-half. one-half. There are two sides to a bargain. The landlord cannot get any of the advantages ad-vantages of the land act without the tenant's consent. Under these circumstances circum-stances the tenants who do not permit themselves to be either cajoled or coerced co-erced into improvident bargains, but stfcnd out resolutely for reasonable 4rms, will get them. The landlord will, of course, extort as much as he can. But he won't pull his nose to spite his face, and he will accept a fair price if he is once convinced -he can get no more. |
