ABSTRACT

At the commencement of the year 1880, the Parliament of the Dominion of Canada, with almost unexampled generosity, voted the sum of 100,000 dollars, or, in English currency, 20,547l. 18s. 10d. sterling, towards the relief of the then existing distress in Ireland. This munificent donation was wisely left unfettered by all stipulations save one, that it should not be so expended as to deprive its recipients of the franchise.
