The principal results of the census of the United Kingdom in 1901
(Statistical and Social Inquiry Society of Ireland, 1906)I have selected as my subject "The Principal Results of the Census of the United Kingdom in 1901." The Census was taken in England and Scotland under the Census (Great Britain) Act, 1900, which applied equally to England ... -
A plea for tillage farming on co-operative lines
(Statistical and Social Inquiry Society of Ireland, 1906)I must first of all apologise for the type of paper I am privileged to read before you tonight. It must be to a certain extent, egotistical, it must be in the nature of a proposition, and I must ask you to believe what ... -
The progress of sanitary science in Belfast
(Statistical and Social Inquiry Society of Ireland, 1906)The rapid increase of Belfast in population, and its rapid rise in commercial importance, chiefly accounts for the fact that the construction of good streets and erection of its principal public buildings dates from ... -
Salmon fisheries in Ireland and the report of the Irish Inland Fisheries Commission
(Statistical and Social Inquiry Society of Ireland, 1906)The object of this paper is to bring before this Society the importance of the salmon fishery to the country districts of Ireland, to give an outline of the conditions essential to insure its prosperity, and to summarize ... -
The report of the Tariff Commission
(Statistical and Social Inquiry Society of Ireland, 1906)I propose in this paper to criticise Mr. Chamberlain's Tariff Commission and its report issued on the 21st July last; just a week after the meeting held at Westminster, passed resolutions adopting his fiscal policy. The ... -
The practice of the Commercial Court
(Statistical and Social Inquiry Society of Ireland, 1906)I must preface my remarks upon this subject by stating that the Commercial Court to which I allude has no existence in Ireland, and therefore I am at a disadvantage in dealing with a system of judicial procedure with ... -
The financial aspect of parliamentary private bill procedure
(Statistical and Social Inquiry Society of Ireland, 1906)The mode of conducting Parliamentary Inquiries into Private Bills relating to this country has been the subject of criticism for many years, and it has been brought before the public on many occasions, while it has ... -
Scottish Private Bill Legislation in working
(Statistical and Social Inquiry Society of Ireland, 1906)Were it not for the fact that a Private Legislation Reform Bill for Wales, passed unanimously on the 25th March, 1904 its second reading in the House of Commons, and that not a single Irish Member brought forward the ... -
The government management of Indian railways
(Statistical and Social Inquiry Society of Ireland, 1906)I do not propose tonight to deal with the whole question of Indian Railways; it would be too wide a subject. I wish to refer to the recently published Report of Mr. Thomas Robertson, who was formerly Manager of the Great ... -
Educational value of co-operation among Irish farmers
(Statistical and Social Inquiry Society of Ireland, 1906)The object of this paper is not to dwell upon the advantages which co-operation confers upon the farmer as an institution for ordinary business puposes, but to bring before you its effect upon the "country as a medium ... -
Cartels and syndicates in German industry
(Statistical and Social Inquiry Society of Ireland, 1906)The object of this paper is to give some account of these German industrial organisations, known as Cartels and Syndicates. I am afraid not many of us in this country paid much attention to them until the question of " ... -
Fiscal policy: some lessons from the Blue Book
(Statistical and Social Inquiry Society of Ireland, 1906)When I was asked to read a paper to this Society on the proposed changes in British Fiscal Policy which have made such a stir in recent times, I recognised at once that the subject must be treated here, not as one of ... -
Canals and waterways of western Europe
(Statistical and Social Inquiry Society of Ireland, 1906)A history of the waterways of the world would tell a great part of the story of early human migration and the rise and growth of commercial intercourse. In early days, it was by rivers rather than by forest tracks that ... -
The forestry question considered historically
(Statistical and Social Inquiry Society of Ireland, 1906)The main object of this paper is not to re-state the case for forestry in Ireland, but to recall public attention to the subject; and in doing so to endeavour to throw light on the solution of a preliminary difficulty ... -
Suggested substitutes for the present Poor Law system
(Statistical and Social Inquiry Society of Ireland, 1906)The continual complaints in Great Britain and Ireland of the inefficiency and extravagance of the Poor Law System, have been accentuated of late by the labour crisis and want of employment. Criticisms abound and ... -
The land purchase problem
(Statistical and Social Inquiry Society of Ireland, 1906)It is a far cry from the turbulent scenes in the Legislative Assembly of 1790 to the quiet, almost dull, offices of the Estates Commissioners in 1906; and yet the changes that in the one case were effected with noise ... -
Technical education for commerce
(Statistical and Social Inquiry Society of Ireland, 1906)I imagine that to many of my audience tonight there must appear to be something incongruous about the title of this paper. Technical Schools are well understood in these countries to mean institutions that educate ... -
The tourist movement in Ireland
(Statistical and Social Inquiry Society of Ireland, 1906)My paper should, I am aware, be devoted to a statistical and social review. I have discovered, however, that the subject is eminently one which does not lend itself to statistics, and I propose instead to treat it from ... -
The arterial drainage of Ireland
(Statistical and Social Inquiry Society of Ireland, 1906)When I mention that a sum of #961,235 14s. 7d. has been expended upon Arterial Drainage in Ireland, and that the annual instalments paid in redemption of principal and interest amount to #31,944 9s. 8d., I think the ... -
