'Montgomery, the poet, who was the Editor of a Paper there (the Sheffield his). nod of whose ta lents and virtues every one must speck with re spect, was so impressed with the evils of ',orie -1 ies, that he voluntarily abandoned the large pro fit which arose from Lottery Advertisements, by excluding them from his publication. It was a great aggravation of this ditty system, that it was promised to pay a part of the advantages in wine. 11811 gin beets offered it would have shocked the public, but wine was a gentlemanly and attrac tive liclnnr. " Wine and golf' !" The Hon. Gentleman had made gold so rare, that the Lottery Gentry found their account in holding it • out as a temptation ; and by these two induce ments they endeavoured to add as Many sots and misers as they could to the took who were. taken in by their inflated and false rept esentations. He had nearly forgo ten to mention one of their trends, mis-naming prizes. They called than by which a man lost only half his money. With reference to those prizes, they did not pi'k the pockets of the purchasers of their tickets,- .but they half picked their pockets ; and, in hi's opinion, they deserted to he half hanged for it laugh).-41e who said that a man had got a prize alto, having paid WI. for his ticket,: received 101. at the Lottery Office, lied.—(A laugh.)-6 the last Lottery there were fourteen thousatol tickets, and 2,865 prizes. But of. those 2,865, prizes, 2,810 were prizes of only 101. each ; that ..was, they were prizes, the purchasers of winch, having given 201: each for them, were cheated of only half their money. The fact - was, that it was above 253 to I that the purchase of a ticket ob-. tained a bona fide prize. Did ever any man keep - a photo-table on such terms ? Was there ever any description of gambling. like this ? It was the most , lavish mode that could , be devised - of raising mo ney for the service of the State. It was a mode by which the public were made to pay largely, .uhile the Exchepier received but a compa ratively small suns. The Honourable Gentleman, .here entered into a minute calculation on the sub ject, to prove that for a Lottery' by which the Exchequer gained only 300,0001, the public were -made to. pay bet wern 600,0001. and 700,00 W.; the difference, after deducting The necessary ex .pences,,,going into . the pockets of. the contrac tors. They would do better if they acted.on a system diametrically opposite ; if, instead of hav ing reconrse to means avhich demoralized- the people, they rejected every measure of kouestion- Able tendency, adopted a simple.and consistent .course of legislation, and endeavoured to improve .and enlighten the people, by the establishment of schools and other suitable means. .Thcgreater the distress of the country, the. greater-the twee*, city for acting with .a due regard to morality.— The strength of a .country - was essentially con- . sleeted with its morality ; and the resources which were derived from the violation of.its rules ought to be rejected as beneath. the dignity of a great nation. He once inure requested the House to consider how impolitic it was to.go on with this execrable system, As he found many men of sense and education out of the House who agreed with him in opinion on this subject, he trusted he should receive their support out of doors, and he hoped he.should also meet with that support its that House -which he hrid received without from those from whom he had hitherto received silent approbation. The Honourable Geutleman con, chided with moving a Resolution, That by the establishment .of a State• Lottery the Govern ment injured in the highest degree the morals of the people, and encouraged and provoked a spirit of gambling—=that such a spirit of gambling, by diminishing the industry and conse quently impairing the means of the people, necessarily im paired the sources of revenue: that the Lottery was produc tive of numerous other evils, and that the' House could there fore no longer authorize the establishment of a State Lottery Under any system of regulations whatever. The CHANCELLoR of the ExCHEatilia was as tonished that any man in the present state orthe country cool!) seriously propose to abandon a sum Of nearly 300,0001. raised by means which were less felt by the people than any other which could be resorted to. The advantage to the re venue from the Lottery on the whole, indepen dent of all collateral advantages, amounted to be tween 2 and 300,0001. a year, and a saving of in terest of 30 or 40,0001. a year ; in all a sum of about 300,0001. He really did not see why a man might not invest a small part of hi's savings without blame in the purchase of a ticket for the Lottery. If he were obliged to admit_ that the principle of gambling was called forth'hy a State Lottery, he should think the objections of the Honourable Gentleman to it good to their utmost extent ; _but the Hon. Gentleman, forgetting t-Itat the principle of gambling existed, independent of the State Lottery, very unfairly argued that it was attributable to the Lottery. Now he was pre pared to contend, that the spirit of gambling, in stead of being called forth, was kept in check by the State Lottery. '1 he State Lottery Offices were obliged to keep up establishments, which operated as checks on the Little ! goes, which were much more ruinous to the commoo people. This was proved by the Papers on the table,. Front these it would be seen, that for the last three years, While the prosecutions for insuring in the State Lottery had decreased, those for pri vate Lotteries had increased. The Honourable Gentleman had not given a correct representa 7 tion of the stock prizes—they were never stated as money prizes. The Hon. Gentleman could not be more delighted than he should he himself, if the progress of education should improve the knowledge, industry, and domestic economy of the people—should be such as to make it no longer profitable to have a State Lottery. No ntan could rejoice at this more than himself ; for then the same motive which pin a stop to the Lottery itself, would also put a stop to those other more mischievous practices which Were in some degree kept its check by the State Lottery. Ile did not mean lo oppose the arguments which the Hon. Gentleman had attaanced against a Lot tery, but he could not now consent to renounce a sum, the place of which must be supplied by some tax, which would operate in a mole oppressive way on the people. ELLIS agreed with the Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Lyttelton) in thinking that a State Lottery was attended with the worst elects on the morals of the people ; that it held out a temptation 10 gambling ; and he concluded with expressing his determination to support the motion. Ir, 1314 . r05t supported the motion. If the continuance of State Lotteries prodneed great' revenue, it also produ.,:ed grvat v i ces anti great immorality. He cool.' not believe that this colon y Wag so reduced as to sell the morals of the people for the s4ke of revenue. The tax was de and fraudulent, and dangerous in its opera tions. When this tax was condemned with the execration which it deserved, the Chancellor of the Exchequer brought in his set-off of 300,0001. +r-year. But he hoped that the [louse would no lont;er sanction any compromise of character for the sake of revenue. The Hon. Gentleman Theo detailed many instances of cotruption and immo rality. in several villages, arising from the evil effects of Lott et-iv.. In one village in patticn lar, a prize of 20001. had fallen to the lot of a club.. The result• was a complete sacrifice of morals by a multiplicity of' new adventurers, to the rub, of many, who, before this pursuit of fortune by the lonely, were iodustrioos and re . - strectable. But, after an absence of 15 years, he bad.learnt that every, one of the lottery clubs had tailed, •and that the one half of the members had died by profligacy and waist, and the other half had. become bankrupts.! . The system .of lottery ought to he put down as a public nuisance. No man co u ld enter a village without being annoyed by large blazoning letters respecting, the lottery. The adventurers • were of the lowest descrip •tion, and as such merited commiseration They consisted of young servant maids anti ser vant men, who were freqnently .ncocet to rot) their masters awl mil - tresses to gratify their spirit of speculation in the lottery. It was orur these poor, deluded• creatures that.. the- Chancellor of -the Exchequer and his insatiable Cowractors ..vere .victorious. When: at last reduced to the. greatest extremity, .they became desperate, and were tre ,qu.eutly :Rstracted in mind.. In the list of bank ropts and Insolvent debtors, many of them anti hilted their etnbarras,sments to speculations in the Lottery. In a. late -insrance, when a person had become involved, he (Mr. B.) had occasion to ,into ,his ,affairs, he found that 4001., which he had alluded to as belonging to It Be nefit Society, be ...had , adventured in the Lot tery, noel had lost every farthing. The Chancellor of the Exchequer hatlyautrtiogly said, in his finan cial view of the subject, that he had put an end to the Little Goes ! He lamented that a million was in this manni,:texorred ftiith the people, in order to increase the number of paupers, and to fill the workhouses 4 And,all these-evils 'were sanctioned merely for the,slke ‘ folsopporting and cherishing a set of rogues and vagabonds. Mr. PAuti,st,t," ludicrously observed, that the Right Hon. 'Chancellor of the Exchequer contra dicted by flis;crivhdriat the policy-of Queen Eliza beth, who said, that - inoney- in her subjects' pockets, was, money. in ber own. The Chancellor of the Exchequer was, not contented till he ex tracted it from his Tellow-subjects, and pot it into his own official -pockets.. He. had boasted of nearly .destroying the Little , Go;' Nut the Only way he •had chosen tordestraY•tbe'Little Go, was by get ting up theGreatGo. The. Right Hon. Gentle man had some of thepectillatities of the Irishman. He was allowed to 'speak 'twice. He was that sort of character that he Was allowed to change his mind .without-being ridiculed, It was curious how the Chantelfor of the •Exchequer connected the transactions of ,Government with the corrup tion of 'public 'morals, 1 It was a system which could not fail of shaking the character of any Government. Knowing that the Chancellor of the Exchequer - was a religious and moral charac ter, he begged leave :.to ask if he ever bought a lottery ticket ? He cheerfully supported the motion. Mr. Alderman WOOD entered into minute par ticulars of the_Litklergoes, a'knowledge of which he bad obtained in the course of his magisterial vocation in the City. The Little-goes were nu merously attended-; and their harvest was during the drawing of the Lottery. They were in all the adjoining streets, and crowded with adven ture's. The poor wretches were so deluded as to depend upon particular or favourite numbers in the Lottery. In a search, the Worthy Alder man eastired the noitie'that he found the names of'maify elerks of respectable firms as adven torers. The Little-go.vvas- drawn from a band box. The servants in London gained more mo ney :than servants else Where ; and he was sorry to . say, - that many of them robbed their masters to support their speculations in the Little Goes :and in the Lottery. Government were now ex pending one million in building of churchei ; the Chancellor of the Exchequer took a million from :the people, and 'ihui *prevented them from sup !plying themselves with clothes to go to church. Mr. WiLaeuroace rose to express his strong disapprobation of the Lottery system—a system conceived and executed in fraud, andproductive, 'in the highest degree, of immorality and misery. Ele conceived that there was no burthen to which we might not cheerfully to submit, if laid on as a iu'hoiiiite for this most impolitic and unrighteous :tax. _„ . Mr. CANNING rose to support his Right Hon. Friend Ole Chancellor of tie Exchequer.) The : •whole argument against the Lotteries had, in his Opinion, been foitoded on a wrong basis. The motion was to deprive the country of the benefits Of a considerable revenue, without providing an equally tiroductive tax, It was one of the oldest modes of taxation in modern history. It had Continued, he believed, since the Revolution ; and it ought not 'to be abandoned on light and trivial krounds. The Right Honourable Gentleman re iOrted Upon the Gentlemen on the opposite side Of the Liontre, who had used his Right Hon. Friend somewhat illiberally. because he bad faithfully discharged his duty to the public.-- Among,all the. great and transcendent qualities of the mind of his Right Hon. Friend, none sur passed or equalled his profound knowledge of finance. But lately it had been fashionable to rim down taxes, and to declaim loudly against them as oppressive to the people. The Right Ho notnable"Gentletuan then enumerated those which had been vehemently condemned. The Salt Tax hat! fallen into disgeitee,•beenuse some Gentlemen thought it Militated too much against the landed interest. The Leather Tax next became unpo pular, because it operated oppressively against certain classes ii trade. Next the Spirit Tax, because it was injurious to .the minds of the peo ple. 44 11 _14i,* %seising tiny weic ought to ex. pect a declamation against the Window Tax, for reasons which the Mover would - soon favour them with. It Gentlemen were to act upon this fastidious principle of Finance—if Revenue was Ni be reduced to the whim of the moment—if all these operations of the mind arose from the care of public morals—let them call a meeting, and agree to some standard of morals, say at what de gree of mmality they would make their stand, and then perhaps it would be easier to ascertain their real meaning. His Right Honourable Friend had too much good se►+se, and too much manliness, to he induced to abandon an useful mode of taxa tion, on account of a violent but amusing decla mation against Lotteries, or the Life ar►d Adven tnres of a Servant Maid, as presented by a Worthy Alderman—(tiinch cheering.)—He knew that no taunting or wanton attacks on his official charac ter would ever induce his Right Hon. Friend to forget his ditty to the country.—(Hear, hear !)-- By following this line of conduct, his Right Hon. Friend would imitate the example of his most il lustrious predecessors, and obtain the applause of his countrymen!—(Hear, hear !) Mr. WILBERFoRCB explained,. Mr. Woonnouse would sooner agree to a viva) of the Property Tax than the continuance of Lotteries. Jr.N PLUNKETT conceived that this question would decide whether the House had a Moral feeling. The Right Honourable Gentleman opposite (Mr. Canning) admitted the criminali4 of lotteries, but'talked of the age of the crime.— If it were as old as the foundation of the other world, it ought to be rooted out. The present tax created a vice, for the purpose' of making it productive. It was a question, not of revenue, but -of morals, and in acting as they were now doing, the Government of the country abdicated their place to debauch the integrity of the people.. Lord GAF. TLEREAGH denied that his Right Hon. Friend had acknowledged the criminality of Lot, teries. was their abuse, like that of spirituous 1 ivors, which might turn into vice or crime. The ractice .?ad been sanctioued•by the highest and most moral names. He.ohjected to that kind of sp uribus and sublimated morality, which Might att a ck any other tax with as much justice as the Lottery. It was the bounden duty of Govern ment, while they maintained the morals of the people,- to, beware not to sacrifice its strength, Which was, their best security. 'Mr. F. DOUGLAS contended, that a substitute had been proffered for the Lottery Tax, whenever it had been proposed 'to reduce the Army, or carry real economy into any - other department. Had thaSe'suggestions been adopted, there would be no cause to call for the present tax. Much hor ror had been expressed at the manner in which foreign Governments raised money on gambling housts ; but here the Chancellor of the Exche quer was the keeper . of the gambling-house him self. Mr. WILLIAMS wss understood to state, that it might be as well to deck brothels and give them a voluntary embrace, as to support Lotteries.— The species of gambling which they created was the more pernicious, as it was not that of the rich, but of the poor. Mr. CANNING explained. He had said nothing about brothels, and assured the Hon. Member that he bad not mentioned the word concupis cence once in the whole course of his speech.— (Hear, hear !) •Mr. COLCLoUGH (we believe) gave some details respecting the foreign Lotteries, respecting which he had obtained information, the result of which w a s, that the Lottery in this country was above a ll others unfair to the public. The Genoese Lottery, a model which was followed in France, was carried on at an expence to the public of one-fifth ; the Lotteries in Switzerland at one tenth ; while, , in this country, the expence was one-third. Mr. RICARDO shortly supported the motion, and pointed out the evils which arose from the draWiugs of the Lottery so often in the year. He quoted the resolutions of a society to which many of the Ministers belonged, deprecating the Lot tery ; and observed, that they were thus con demning as individuals the law which they came to support by their votes. Mr. TIERNEY conceived that so trifling a .sum as 250,0001. was disgracefully purchased by the de gradation which accompanied the measure. Such a sum could make no great difference in the Loan for the present year, and he should have no ob jection to see 20,250,0001. thus raised, instead of 20,000,000!. He contended that Lotteries were not now what they had been, and objected to the manner in which the Contractors disposed of the tickets. Whatever the other merits of his Hon. Friend's motion might he, it had that of being the only one which had brought all the Members of Government to act together ; and on what ques tion ? Put morality in the one scale and 250,0001. in the other, and they were all agreed that the mo ney should be taken, and that morality should shift for herself. In this business, however, the Chancellor of the Exchequer had drawn the grand prize, for he had gained the admiration of the Right Honourable President of the Board of Con ronl. But if he embarked in that Little Go, he Would live to repent it. Mr. HusmssoN maintained, that the mode of drawing the Lottery was greatly improved. It now did not exceed twelve days in the year, whilst in former times there was one in England and one in Ireland, and each of them took forty clays in drawing. It was easy to say, that 250,0001. might be added to. the Loan for the year ; but so might the 300,0001. a-year produced by the Win dow Fax in Ireland, or any other tax burthen some to the people. He contended that the pre sent mode of drawing bad put down all the evils of in4erance. Atter a few words in explanation, by Mr. TIERNEY, Mr. LYTTELTON briefly replied, and the House divided— Fort he Motion Against it . 133 Majority against the Motion --49 ALIEN OFFICE.
