He must sell it to-day, or it is lost for-ever." And as the poor Irishman cannot sell his day's labour, he must needs emigrate to some other country, where his only commodity may be in demand.
While at Galway, I read with interest an eloquent speech delivered by Mr.Parnell at the banquet held in the Great Hall of the Exhibition at Cork.

Mr.Parnell asked, with much reason, why manufactures should not be established and encouraged in the South of Ireland, as in other parts of the country.

Why should not capital be invested, and factories and workshops developed, through the length and breadth of the kingdom?
"I confess," he said, "I should like to give Ireland a fair opportunity of working her home manufactures.

We can each one of us do much to revive the ancient name of our nation in those industrial pursuits which have done so much to increase and render glorious those greater nations by the side of which we live.

I trust that before many years are over we shall have the honour and pleasure of meeting in even a more splendid palace than this, and of seeing in the interval that the quick-witted genius of the Irish race has profited by the lessons which this beautiful Exhibition must undoubtedly teach, and that much will have been done to make our nation happy, prosperous, and free." Mr.Parnell, in the course of his speech, referred to the manufactures which had at one time flourished in Ireland--to the flannels of Rathdrum, the linens of Bandon, the cottons of Cork, and the gloves of Limerick.
