Excerpt from Home Rule Finance: An Examination of the Financial Bearings of the Government of Ireland Bill, 1912The Imperial credit and the stability of the National finances are to be interlocked with a fiscal system dominated by the Parliament and Executive of the United Irish League and the Ancient Order of Hibernians.A contribution of some millions is to be exacted from Great Britain as an inducement to her to give up all con trol over Irish finance and Irish legislation, while even with such subvention all educational, social and material development in Ireland will be arrested, and the recent era of prosperity brought to an abrupt and bitter termination.Everyone now admits, no matter to what party he belongs, that the Finance of Mr. Gladstone's Home Rule Bills must have ended in National Bankruptcy for Ireland, and anyone who will impartially examine the present Home Rule Bill will come to the conclusion that the pro posed system of dual taxation, combined with the absence of Imperial credit, can only end in the bankruptcy of Ireland. Her financial ruin will be inevitable, and it will be left to England and Scotland to pay the bill.This book, written by a high authority, appears at an opportune moment. It lights up the daedalian intricacies of the finance of this great national imposture. How great are the dangers involved those who read it can understand. I commend it to the people. I ask writers in the Press to study it and use it. I hope that politicians may learn from it, and I ask all to read it so that they may understand how fully justified are those of my fellow countrymen who join with me in the determination never to submit to the tyranny of Home Rule.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
