CRoWN AND ANCHoIt TAVERN, SEPT. 9, 1319 toirstiattce of the Instructions at the -General 111 , !etings of the Petitioners, the Committee liAve applied t.' many leading Members of the late and pres. tit House of Coomions, and earneffiv he s.oteht them to auleneate the restitution 'of the Right to a Free Trade in Beer. 111 , 1 lase by tetrrence to time Evidence before, and the ePotts from, the Committers lit the [loose of Cummuns, nit " the Polict" and on ' 4 the Price and Quality of Beer," anti other Official DOCII nacre's, proved that thr : systern, peculiar to Eng itml, of ctonfinittg the Retail , Sale of Beer to houses optionally licensed by Lo.

That Malt all llops have been considerably cheaper in 1819 than they-were in 1801, when Bt-er was sold at fourpence halfpenny per; pot; that the diffrence of three halfpence per pot amounts to ass ;motile tax ef nearly 10 per tent. on the earnings of laborissits owls, to a sum sufficient to support a child independently, to pay for the clothing or lodging of a family and, in the aggregate, to between seven and eight millions sterling upon a.year's consumption, a sum greatly exceeding the whole. revenue. of Governsitetit no longer sitter than in the reign of George' the' First remarkable and altuos.littereclible_faca, which, how ever, will appear less so when it is considered that the Mo nopoliste' 14‘ Oil Beer is a poll-tat, extending to. almiiit every man, woman, and ehilsi, and is nut collected once in, two or there reigtt9, as poll-titzes were formerly, or once or twice in a. year, as the king's taxes are now, bu t t daily stud hourly ono every ropt of beer fled is drank—That. in short, by the arbitrary, inscrutable, onconstitlitional and irrational system .of licensing victualling houses, peculiar to F.ttglatol, irrdivicluals are deprived of the fair and ino ff ensive ettjqment of their estates,—the people at large • are impoverished, : drunkenness is encouraged, the Magistrates -are connoted, their office restricted odious, ond the confidence of the sub ject in the justice Of the Government destrOyed. Thes'e points your Committer have stron;ly urged, particularly' to those members who profess an eutitient solicitude, for the rights and liberties of the iseool,e; but although all 'admit the errors of our peenliar licenSitig system, and the expe diency of an 'intendment, nothing has been done in the H. 111%, of Commons to produce it. that Gentlemen who speak so often and so vehemently, against Sinecures and Pensions,' as drawing unnecessa rily,frorn the vekets of a suffering People, should remaiti silent on the far more severe extoetions practised under the Licensing Monopoly, without :any . pretence of serving the Stale, but merely to make the rich man richer still, has sir prized your Committee. The Sinecures and Pensions of the Esiglish Guru roment amount to some hundred- thosseatisl ',minds annually this burden is distributed , through all classes.—The extra price of Beer,' in- consequence of the li censing system, exceeds several millions annually ; and this is levied on the labottriug Poor almost alone; the more totense their toil, the more Beer they need, and the greater propor tion are they wade to'cont s ribute to the leTy' of the Monopo lists. But, in fact,' it is from several of these• profes•ed ehampiousut popular rights and privileges that the Petition- CI'S have tereived the most determined opposition in the House of ,Commotts ;it is among the-se and their eounexions that are to he found those who • fatten most all the tlll - holy gauss of Beer Nionsuossly, and anositg these.are visible-the most ardent. lovers of the arbitrary power given to them as Justices by the Licensing Law--a peoier, however, 'which abhorrent to the Constitution,, and which iiss-conSeientions man. your Committee think s would elssesee.to.. exercise. Die tooreging.as have been the proceedings in the House of Com mons upon the, epeal fur a Free Trade its Beer, the.Csou mit tee ;titvise the Petitioners not to velses its their object ;'that object is too deeply conuected with the rights 41u1 interests of the working. Classes eet Scuciety to he ahandotted. The causes of the distresses of the Labouring Pour demand the attent• of ono? just mast. But these causes have been so disguised by political subtleties and tampering remedies, that it is me-. cessaey, to -advert to some origituo principles of political eco nomy in surlier Its discover the truth, and to show how large a portio n of the People's distress arises from Monopoly. There is within:: of necessaries Ur luxuries that wet, eon sume.that is itotproduce..l by labour; even the spontaneous fi nits of the earth I - , quire the labour of collecting arid con veyinz. On a moderate computation, it has appeared, that every working man and woman (axeraged).pt (Auer twice as much as he or she consumes. The duplicate quantity pro duced is abstracted by th .se. who are not productiveTa• !tourers ; many of these, however, in the slue exercise 'l.lf their powers are highly useful to society as capitalists, rulers,. or defenders; others are not only iiseless, but pernicious, as, Monopolists, l'aupeiat. and Felipe*. Of late Years science has aided the useful arts in a Won ilei ful manner ; it has more than doubled the. proeluctive pow e rs of man. This increased powei, of productiveness bas i‘etin, represented a, the cause Of the people's distress—hu t increased productiveness cannot he the cause of want—s; plenty, of scarcity. •The .throblesl power of .praducticeness , ould double the supply, 0 - or accustomed degree , of y were continued, or if this increased supply were not re q aived. the ordinary quantity eel Sitliply would be' produced iii half the former hours of lahour.z But the worlilrig. people of England ate in neither,of tlicge :litttatiottS• , BY..wytisjlttz, their old hours they do not double tireir old supplies—nor upon !ialf their former hours of toil can they enjoy their old 4,statirt...; on. the re•Cer9t,.they work ,longer• foe,re u ic<<l gain*. In some staple manufactures fourteen 'hours vi daily lalitier will tint yield a bare subsistence, it will scalcriy, .nocnre a quotient loaf or two pots' of Beer.: The - tent Ir is; Ili it witch as the productiveness of labour has. bluest in creased, the levies on . the IMOIOCe by the Government. and lit privileged individuals has increased still more, ihlontitch that inamtfacturers suffer penury in the midst of wealth of their owo creating, and famine, although. blessed with uni t er,al.peace and seasons of uncommon fertility. Ott the iitimaitit abstracted from the • proceeds' of : industry t•ir the iit,es of the State, it is not within the province of the toit,itnitter to expatiate It is the amount abstracted thrtniali he ti t <ratioat of partial laws favouring monopoly, and unduly taken fi u tu the working man, to aggrandize the already rich, sentry°, the Copitnittee complain. Of this they do complain most emphatically. The wealthy, in the due else of t.1161* ' capitals, are benefactors to the working classes and, to the As owners of the accumulated proditce of former labour, their stuck, lent out to present labourers, supports them while their wink is in progress, and. mrstil„ by int Wii4licr., it is ' , Mitred available for their several purposes,— The wealthy thettarc justly entitled to a share Of the psealitce of f%resent labour, for they have aided that production, hut they; hat e no right to combine, and themselves 61 what that share shall be, our to compel, the public to deal with them delusively • 11n; accu►nnlated produce of former labour, as well as the pri.iluce of present labour, ought to be subject to equal laws, iuterchaage• required by want and 'huPlilY ul .. . . ..•li ;Juts .., individuals sliail severally agree, without com l. fling either to enhance or to depress prices.' The English 1, urnfactirrer sends his wares to all parts of the world, lie is jrei ro uolimited 'competition. To procure a market on 1:,.., eonkinent tax i,uust Sell hisloods cheaper than they 1:411 bri usaita alined for abroad. There the necessaries of life are not halt the price at which they are iii thii country. It is these necessaries which he requires in exchange for his manufac t Tres, but these lie i s prohibited front receiving where he can buy then' cheapest. ltread and Beer are his chief necessaries : the owners ot land and of licensed houses in 'England decree that he shall boy his torn from their farms only, (except indeed in times , of great scarcity,] and his Beer flute their pririleged stations only. BV these means the prices of victuals is raised • higher in •England than in any other' conntt y in Europe. The rental and value of land and of licensed houses hair heen this artificially doubled within the last thirty years. S ut this profit to one part of the inthlid has been acquired through great injustice to other parts; the stock of the public creditor has diminished.in value nearly-one-third,' and the eomforis of the manutaettiriiig popolation are deteriorated in iimilar propoetiMi. • If viorliitig men, as well as rich ones, weir at , liburly to combine and 10 raise their prices at will, they might defend themselves, for a time at least, by raising their prices to the •sallie scale with the rich, although eumhi nations among the necessitous multitude would he far less m:tiowert th.n among , the opulent 'few. 'Bat this is • properly forbidden uoiler severe penalties. If it were nut so, excess ye prices would deprive its of - 'foreign' trade, and drive our capital abroad. The matter of complaint is, that mono poly and eutinhination Fhould he tolerated on either side. A free trade is as , necessary to a commercial people as• air to ani nal life; without it existence is painful,and.cannot be lung protrac' ed. , Even now we fiod•that those Who possess capital or . i nd ependent iiieonies are rapidly emigrating to foreign commies. where their money will r produce them more profit or, enjoyments than in their own while manufacturers, unable to derive support frinu their labour, leave their coun try in shoals, or, remaining at home, give tip their honest iii- dependence. and join the ranks of paupers or criminals ! therefore, most earnestly call on all pert pie who pity the distresses of their industrious countrymen, 'and who value the preservation of order and tranquillity, to lend their aid in emancipating the Public tram the partial laws which limit their supply of Beer, and also of Bread, lo , fat-nun-11 channels; laws which prohibit them from receiving the necessaries of life in return for their labour, according to those.princi.ples of open competition 'whereon they are ,compelled to yield their labour. They call on the humane not to reserve their acts Until working men are bent beneath the yoke of pauperism. or ;ire branded with the commission 'of crimes; not to rover the face of the country with new and coninnotions Poor-houses and Prisons under ,:ofteneil names, not to endow those abailes w ith i.,oniforts tinknown to lode-, pendeut Working-mei), bar such things allure 'melt from in ry and honesty, and, in their expence, by creating fresh calls tin their ('Sr Mugs, driire the popttlatioh more and More into a state of Pauperism; nor to believe . that " Select Ves A tries aril ssistant Overseers" will alleviate the People's dis tress, for the hubs of-the one• and the•salariet of the other in crease it. The Committee submit that the only wholesome, and, indeed, t he on's' effectual general reliefthit can be given t o the ' , vol ute is not to d,prive them unduly .of so touch, of their earnings. Vie wealth, tarent, attirindustry of this cautin ry render its produce so great, that but a very excyssiv, alistractiou of this prodnce fruit) its producers can place t lit 111 iii a state of want.—Yet they at e' in want.
