'True for you, Jim, prices is low; but what we has we has, for we pays nobody.'
And to that I will add another observation.
Somebody asked me:—
'If Ireland were to get Home Rule, what would become of the agitator?'
I replied:—
'He would be called a reformer, unless it paid him better to clamour for a fresh Union. He'd sell all his patriotism for five shillings, and his loyalty could be bought by a few glasses of whisky.'
And that's the whole truth of the matter.
