LIVERPOOL. HISTORY OF THE WORKING CLASSES.. THEIR RISE AND PROGRESS-SOCIAL AND POLITICAL ; FROM THE ANGLO-SAXON PERIOD DOWN' TO THE PRESENT DAY CHAPTER FOURTH. INTRODUCTION OF WOOLLEN MANUFACTURES- "'EVIL MAY DAY - RECOGNITION OF FRE/ LABOURERS BY THE LEGISLATURE -REI.IUNERA TION GIVEN •TO WORKMEN -RETROSPECTIVE REMARKS. The small quantity of woollen cloth found in the town of Colchester shows that the cloth trade had made but little progress in England ; though several Flemish weavers had come over with. William the Conqueror, and established them selves. (1.) Judging, however, from what little trade there was in this department of industry, it is not very easy to understand the curious regula tions which were made concerning it. One, for instance, issued in the year eleven hundred and ninety-seven, besides prescribing that all cloths should •be one width, ordained likewise that no cloth of any other colour than black should be sold in any part of the country, except cities and burghs. What the object of such a regulation as this could have been for, it is difficult to discover. But there was one which is more easy to under stand ;_ and perhaps it may be considered a sort of comfort for us to know that our good old Saxon ancestors had their tricks of trade as well as we of the present day. For it was ordered " that no trader in wool should hang before his shop. or booth, a red or black cloth, or anything by which the sight of the buyers was often deceived in the choice - of good cloth." How far such a device as this would deceive our experienced eyes, Ido not know. If it would, I have no doubt numbers would be glad to turn it to account. From this time, until the year thirteen hundred and thirty-one, the wool trade seems not to have employed the attention of the Legislature. Somewhere about this period, however, an expert Flemish manufacturer, and his workmen, came over to England, and were well received by Edward the Third. It is probable that the King was induced to patronise the new comers in consequence of his connection with the Flemings, by his marriage with Philippa, daughter of the Earl of Hainault. Afteiwards this King invited numerous Walloon families over, who were engaged in the woollen trade, by Royal Proclamation ; and though the English, who looked upon them as rivals, were constantly threatening and molesting them, these industrious foreigners managed to settle themselves in the kingdom, and succeeded in creating good native workmen. Laws were immediately passed to prevent the export of wool ; and the use of foreign cloth was restricted to the Royal Family. This exception would go to prove the great superiority of the cloths manufactured abroad to those made in England ; whilst the restriction may likewise have had for its object an encouragement to the immigration of foreign cloth makers. These laws seemed to have worked so well, that in less than forty years the manufacturers in this country became so thriving that fulled woollen cloths were allowed to be exported, thus shewing that we were now in a position to compete with the foreigners. (2.) Here, therefore, we have a proof of how prone men are in an age of ignorance—and, perhaps, in all times, when blinded by an excessively selfish concern for their own individual interest—to mistake for evils, things which are pregnant with the most unbounded advantage to themselves, simply because they cannot, or will not, look beyond the present inconvenience to the future good. Had our ancestors, at the time we are referring to, succeeded by violence in keeping out the skill they so much dreaded,—but which, by its teaching and patterns, conferred an inestimable boon on them, they would, in all probability, have been a century or two before they got out of their ignorant and unprofitable ways. It may be taken as a certain rule that, whenever we seek to put down by violence that which is not violent of itself, we are, somehow or other, committing violence on ourselves. The records of ose times are full of this mad spirit. The first of May, fifteen hundred and seven teen, was long known in London as " Evil May Day," and for many subsequent years there was in painful remembrance the occur rence from whence it took its name. The reason of its bad reputation was a tremendous riot, growing out of the excitement against the foreigners in London. Fortunately, the intended victims, getting wind of the mischief preparing against them, had. time to escape ; but their property was pillaged in every direction, and the work of destruction continued for some hours, until checked by an armed force. Thirteen per sons were sentenced to be hung, but with the ex ception of the principal offenders, who were exe cuted, the remainder were permitted to escape unpunished. Such was the mad animosity against the industrious foreigners who were conferring such benefits upon English manufactures. Luckily, however, they did not succeed ; and the result, as we shall afterwards see, was immense. It is pleasing to observe, likewise, that even the most senseless violence is over-ruled by good ends. The springing up of manufactures, by drawing the superfluous hands from the country into towns and cities, is thought, more than any other cause, to have ameliorated the condition of the working classes, carried on principally by foreigners, exposed to popular violence. The Crown found it necessary to encourage them to form themselves into guilds or compnies in burghs and cities, and to grant them, not ouly various immunities, but also many means of self protection against the barons and territorial chiefs. For such was the lawlessness of the times in the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries, that the King's retinue itself was often attacked and pillaged by banditti, acting not unfrequently at the instance of some powerful baron. Towns during fairs were often pillaged and ransacked, and men of property taken and carried off to the castle of some turbulent chief, where they were kept prisoners till ransomed. In the Rolls of Parliament there are many complaints, on the part of towns, of their corn being destroyed, their houses burned, and their property carried off. We whO are living at a period when perfect secu rity reigns amongst us, and who would hear with amazement that any of our rich - neighbours had come and carried off even our leanest pig or toughest chicken, or the most broken worthless pot in our houses, can hardly picture such a state of society as then existed, and at the same time not look back with just indignation on this infamous violation of the working man's rights. But mark ! how violence, as it always does, brought its own discomfiture, and developed an antago nistic power of order and security that finally laid it low. Our monarchs, in order to protect the towns, and make them ramparts against feudal violence, not only gave them a perfect immunity from feudal service, but allowed them to - raise troops for their own defence. Nor were they satisfied (1.) That the curfew bell came in with William the Conqueror, is a common but erroneous supposition. It is true that, by one of his laws, he ordered the people to put out their fires and lights, and go to bed at the eight o'clock curfew bell ; but shall, in his " History of Oxford," states that Alfred the Great ordered the inhabi tants of that city to cover their fires on the ringing of the bell, at Carfu, every night at eight o'clock, " whi c h custom," he adds, "is observed to this day, and the bell as constantly rings at eight as the 'great Tom' follows at nine." (2.) The wool-combers, like the blacksmiths, had their festival formerly in honour of Bishop Blaze, to whom they attributed the invention of Wool-Combing. The Leeds lfureury, speaking of this festival, held in 1825, says :—" There is no place in the kingdom where the Bishop is so splendidly commemorat e d as at Bradford. In 1811, 1818, and at previous septennial periods, the occasion was celebrated with great pomp and festivity, each celebration surpassing the preceding ones in numbers and brilliance. The celebration of 1825 eclipsed all hitherto seen, and it is most gratifying to know, that is owing t o th e hi g h presperi ty o f lhe woollen manufacturers, which are certainly Adding fresh grcet§ auburban to the towns" either with the temptation which the super of comforts and well-being of the free artizan s ° e C 9 towns, held out to the rural population, to CO and settle, but they further enacted that villein, or rural s lave, who should find his l c , ° l ,' into a town, and stay there for a year and " 3 . e , was to be free for ever. Every villein in to ll er quence, who had accumulated a little capital , to was intelligent and industrious, betook himse lf the towns and cities. A great result folloisr e before the end of Edward the Third's reign. , rP to villeins had begun to support each other, allu to withhold their ancient and accustomed ser vices , e the law ; and even as far back as Richard tra', Second's reign, we find combinations among The stewards of manors complained that could not enforce their accustomed service ; t u „4 they were often in opposition to their lords, ,e"i t had subscribed large sums of money for O ° , future defence ; that they fled to towns and Ci t e where they were screened by the merchants, unit the colour of their franchise ; and . that tin t masters were afraid to enforce their 'power, r io they should lose it irrevocably. This is a C le proof of their increasing strength. In a word , tt e labouring classes were beginning to throw off O le o shackles and to become • free labourers ; and length, for the first time, in thirteen hundred fifty, the Legislature recognised such a clas s ; recognised them grudgingly, r ' it is tree, opPt e . ;s ingly and vexatiously, but still it did re cogil l " ( i them ; and this forms a high interesting important epoch in th e ann als ot British incriisl' e The provisions of this statute, however, called t Ate " Statute of Labourers," sum ma r ily limiting ' 4 free labourer's wages, and forbidding him to In e l ; e from place to place, as l ong as a t c e r t a in priees,'" e t could find employment, show h ow muc h 110 4 , 4 1 to be done before the English W or k m an "" really free. the Of the varied attempts to enforce the statute ; of the opposition it met *with ; of rte various risings of the working classes to vindi e t: their rights, simultaneous with similar movenlq; in other countries, and of their gradual libers tl° o l through increased intelligence and the nat l. ' re operations of trade and commerce : these , ° i s matters which I shall reserve to be treated subsequent parts of this work. All I shall do 11 ' 4 is to mention some of the prices offt.,red to test various kinds of industry in those times as a of clue to the estimate of the worth of 1 31 ';,; remuneration in these days. The Wages per to a master-carpenter, was sixpence ; to a jour o n , man-carpenter, threepence; to a master-freein o ,ls as they were called, one shilling per day ; 311 3 1 journeyman -mason, ninepence. In the - agricult nt :, districts, the following rate of wages were paid " s . ; Weeders and haymakers, one penny a ( 13 .- 0 ,-, mowers, fivepence the acre ; and reapers, du r an i the first week in August, twopence a-day; c o from that time to the end of the month, threeP e ' $ a-day, without diet. A • man for • thrashing quarter of wheat or rye, was allowed twoPe l ; halfpenny; and for thrashing a quarter o f bad e `o oats, beans and pease, three-halfpence, or a ar t it number of sheaves, or bushels, in places whe r, ,l l ie had been customary to pay in kind. (3.) Arno' time, wheat varied in price from twos hill he l f a-bushel to twenty-six shillings, so that t-, r e wages, if they were sometimes enough for 11 'i"o sustenance, were at other times miserj inadequate, and the general destitution [ D o poverty of the working classes must have ', s t such as is, excepting in moments of gtai commercial depression, utterly unknown to t,,"; s t in the present day. With a variation of I " i j e l, from two shillings to twenty-six shillings a-bli'd the usual wages of a labourer was one shilling r 4 day ; so that when corn was cheapest, his o ° r, would only represent the forty-eighth part t y quarter of wheat ; and when dearest, less tho te six-hundreth part. Wheat, in fact, did not en o into the food of the working man, excepting b ie rare occasions : nothing but the most miser ° matter did. "In these most calamitous times," says h‘ il l e Frederick Eden, in his state of the poor, f p return of harvest must have been looketl, ye hardly 'with less eagerness than that whicug Egyptian farmer is said to watch the overfWil l e of the Nile, and perhaps it is not to consider AT matter too curiously to suppose that the eat eit siastic joy with which the rustic feast of Hai` oh Home was celebrated, arose from a tip:0 11 10 conviction that, on expedition and diligence' o f getting in the crops, determined the alternati ve plenty or famine." se° The latest possible period of harvest, at pr e io could never produce the misery we read ° f 0 0 ancient times, in which a late crop or a bad s ew "( # obliged the wretched cultivator to the use ° n ot mean fare, and in fact to partake of a descript l° t y food of which we have no idea. Nor Wer e t be inhabitants of cities, notwithstanding an l e' advantages which they derived from the introottet tion of commerce and manufactures, much be t i l e provided for with the necessaries of life thall servile tenants and cultivators of a baron's e'tell Such a wretched calamity alone as that 11 ' 0 0 occurred to Ireland some ten years sineeV furnish us with an idea of the cruel visit t ife which frequently scourged different countries or six centuries ago. f I have thus, then, sought to give to thell Classes the first part in their History. DrearY, depressing it is, no doubt, but yet not witho w o ray of hope. At the commencement of a s; History, we found them in the condition of SIS . be at its close we have seen them beginning t ° o .ol freemen. Froth this period it is that they bee to feel they had rights, a n d t o s t rugg l e f o r the;jg . In my next part I w ill resume thi s i n teres v ro f story : and begin by noticing some of those st ° and tumultuous efforts made by them, bow 1 1 England and elsewhere, to escape premataeffr from an oppression which only time and their creasing importance to society, through ' ti p increased intelligence and improving indll s could rescue them. I will follow the line of tt o cl progress, every stage becoming more distinct , co t notice the mechanical inventions that have 131 ,01 contributed to multiply and enrich their % lo t together with the other collateral but impor` causes of their advance. der But the period I have thus - so far e 9- t be voured to trace, though it may not be t iff most brilliant, is still not the least insteall i e part of their career. For, by . indicating oe point from which they have risen, it ena bles r to estimate the amount of their rise ; and I P e te haps may have given some of my readers reas° ll o;# be satisfied, that whatever may be the drawb 3 , o o on their progress—whatever the shadows ' u rn° their prosperity=they have felt, as a class, Sl i t ./ small degree the exalting power of time. 11°- of as we look back on the increasing intelligeneep the working classes, now beginning to be t r i ,i c h valued, because it is se e ki ng th a t k now l e d g e "sabot fortifies and g u id es it - can we d ou bt ' - r o their progress in , th e f u t ure w ill b e far fore rapid, far more continuous and unbroken, far 111 0 , splendid than the past.
