Mr. Goschetes view of the Land Question ; as expressed at

Edinburgh, on- Saturday, is practically that transfer, should be- made easy; that the abolition of entail and settlement- will -diffuse land, and that distribution through Councils will be found both-costly and irksome. In taking a field you take it. from a farmer as welt as a landlord; and will have to com- pensate both. He is clearly opposed to the powers it is pro- posed to give to the-new Corporations, and to the whole system of using the power of the State to kill poverty. That; he says, is the Bismarckian plan ; and he prefers the English one of unfettering the individual.
