We are pleased to ndtice in .receut news- paper articles that there is likely to be a, peaceful solution to the noun= dary question. That the wealth of Ireland is largely in the north is evident from the fact .that;athe sixj counties of .Ulster pay 46'% of the whole taxes of, Ireland whereas the. 26 counties in the Free State' pay only 54%."
