Excerpt from Ireland of to-Day: The Causes and Aims of Irish Agitation For centuries it was the privilege of the Irish landlords to regulate the rent of land in Ireland as they pleased, they could increase it as often as they pleased, and could, whenever they pleased, expel the tenant from the farm he tilled, whether he paid his rent or not. As there was no other occupation for him to engage in, and as the rent he had been required to pay was so excessive that he could not save any money to procure another farm, he and his family were commonly compelled to seek the poor house or to die of want on the highways.
