Surely what is done by the Manxmen, the Cornishmen, and the Cockenziemen, might be done by the Irishmen.

The difficulty is not to be got over by lamenting about it, or by staring at it, but by grappling with it, and overcoming it.

It is deeds, not words, that are wanted.

Employment for the mass of the people must spring from the people themselves.
Provided there is security for life and property, and an absence of intimidation, we believe that capital will become invested in the fishing industry of Ireland; and that the result will be peace, food, and prosperity.
We must remember that it is only of comparatively late years that England and Scotland have devoted so much attention to the fishery of the seas surrounding our island.

In this fact there is consolation and hope for Ireland.
