THE DISTRESS IN LANCASHIRE. I
___..- I

(noM OUR BPZCIAL

MANCHESTER" Ocr. 3L

My last letter contained the statistics of distress
and relief for the period between the months of
May and October. The returns showed, as far as
statistics are able to do, a marked improvement in
the general condition of the people. But there are
many elements in the social state of a community
which are incapable of being expressed in figures at
all, much less by such rough arithmetical gene-
ralisations as necessarily form the staple of relief
committees' reports. To some of these I now
propose to draw the attention of your readers.
It must not be supposed, in the first place, that
even in places which have received the full benefit
of the present revival of manufacture the closing
of relief boards is at all equivalent to a return
to a condition of ordinary prosperity. Indeed
the first result of the suspension of operations
by a relief board will be, as I have said before, a
temporary increase of pauperism. No board can
afford, for the people's own sake, to keep open till
its work is absolutely accomplished, and the last
possibly deserving case has received its meed of
assistance : every board leaves a legacy of distress
to the legal guardians of the poor. What the
closing of a relief board really means is, that a
considerable proportion of the operative population
is in full employment ; that another pert is work-
ing short time, while a remnant, still unemployed,
is dependent for subsistence upon chance work
other than in the factories—or upon the labour of
more fortunate members of their families—or in
the last resort upon the parish. And again,
I must recall to your readers' minds a
fact to which l bad often occasion to
refer at the commencement of this distress,

that full work does not imply full wages. Whether
eventually the alter►tion of machinery, and the
gradual improvement of the raw material will
enable theoperative to earn as much with Indian as he
formerly did with American ootton is difficult to say;
it is probable enough that a return to a healthy and
natural trade, fairly profitable to the manufacturers,
may bring about a reconstruction of the wages Hat.

At present it is undeniable and neoessary--espe-
daily in the ease of mills where the new staple is
only now beginning to be need—that operatives,
working at the old rate of remuneration, should
carry away from the pay table at the fortnight's
end a diminished wage.

In addition to this, it must not be forgotten that
eighty weeks of it least partial privation have
brought the people very low. The burthen of debt,
contracted two years ago, still rests upon them,
constitatiag atilt to a particular shop, which often
hinders them from spending their earnings to the
best advantage. Savings and investments are gone
long ago, with the exception of such inconvertible
property as cottages which bring in no rent, yet make
the owner, so long as be is not himself a pauper,
liable for poor rates. The stock of clothing sadly
needs renewal ; the decent gown, the respectable
coat, hides a wofal lack of underclothing, which will
make itself felt these sharp winter nights. Then,
there are the claims of kindred and friendship—
claims which the poor rarely reject, and which they
never more conspicuously acknowledged than in
Lancashire during the last two years. Public charity
is compelled to rely, and does confidently rely, upon
the help which the employed will give to those
who still unwillingly stand idle. The only
counterbalance to all these things which we can
allege is that our manufacturing population have
lately learned secrets of economy, of which in
prosperous times they never dreamed; and that
they now regard as a sufficient livelihood a weekly
sum which not long ago they would have looked
upon as • most miserable pittance. Still their
struggle during the next year or two—taking our
prospect' at the brightest—will inevitably be most
severe. They will have to pay rent once mom, even
if no demand be made upon them for accumulated
arrears. Many landlords have of late been reduced to
the same level of distress as their tenants. The shop-
keeper will ask for some small weekly reduction of
the old debt ; he has his creditors too to satisfy ;
and such sums as be eau thus collect will make the
difference to him between insolvency and a chance
of recovering his imperilled credit In a word,
all the pecuniary obligations which during this
exceptional period have been put into abeyance will
reappear, and that at a time when the workpeople
would have enough to do to keep themselves straight
could they apply the sponge to all past transact one,
and make a fair start once more.

But the position of that clam of shopkeepers who
are immediately dopeadent upon the operatives
deserves to be more particularly looked at. They
bore the first sunsuit of this calamity. Before relief
boards were established, or at all events before the
working people were willing to accept such assist-
ance, they exhausted their credit at the shops where
they were accustomed to deal. The extent to which
they became indebted depended upon the amount of
the shopkeeper's espital. He was afraid of dri►ing
his customers into the arms of some more accom-
modating rival ; and be gave credit till it
became necessary, for the sake of his own com-
mercial safety, to refuse it. Since that time these
tradesmen have subsisted, with sparely replenished
shelves, on such ready money custom as sprang
from wages, and the pittance allowed by relief
boards. It was in consideration of their losses and
wants that the system of giving relief in kind bas
not been more extensively adopted—a system in
itself cheapest, and in many of its aspects, more II
satisfactory than any other. But there can be no
doubt that at the present moment the majority of
these petty shopkeepers are virtually insolvent.
They owe to the wholesale dealer who supplies them
with their wares more than they can possibly pay,
while their resources are scattered up and down in
debts which are bad, or at least irrecoverable. Their

present immunity from the visible penalties of
bankruptcy is due to the fact that to sell their fur-
niture and to close their shops would not only be a
bard thing to do, but a commercial mistake. Their
creditors spare them, as they spare the operatives
who are in their debt, in the hope that with good
trade, a day of repayment will come round again.
But the fact remains, that the working class will
not have done with distress when it withdraws
itself from outward observation. Long after it has
formed the subject of the last newspaper article,
its shadow will remain iu thousands of homes, in
unpaid debt, in the necessary sacrifice of the
future's hopes to the unfulfilled obligations of
the past.
I do not call attention to these things with any
arviire pence as to the possible extension of
the term of relief. On the contrary, I
am unfeignedly anxious that the whole system
should come to a speedy end, fully behaving, as
I do, that it 'maid he far mom is the true interests
of the people to cease to help them before they'
have wholly cooed to need help, than to prolong for
• single day an anaemia/ay assistance. There are
burthens which one man, or one class of men, can
help another to bear ; them are others which meat
be borne alone. That which will weigh upon us,
long after the cessation of visible distress, is of the

latter sort. Only by bearing it to the end will it
be possible for the working classes to recover the in.
dependence and the self-respect, the existence of
which must be endangered by any. system of charity,
however cautiously and wisely administered. The
only aid possible will be that which neighbours
and friends—men whose aims and whose interests
are substantially the same—can give to one another,
without moral detriment on either side. And even
to do this successfully will require an unusual
exercise of care and forethought.
All that I have said of plaoeswhicb enjoy a gleam
of returning prosperity, may be repeated with added
emphasis of those which are still in the deep
shadow of distress. It is true that their external
appearance is lees peculiar than it was six months
ago : sewing schools, adult classes, soup.kitchens
—all institutions created by this calamity—are in
great measure' closed, acid the people have settled
down, with a kind of dull resignation, to the en-
durance of privations which they know to be
inevitable, and which they only hope will not be
perpetual. Of the girls who were in the sewing
schools some have found work, others have gone
to service, others again are busy at home ;
many of the younger men are on the tramp
in search of work, while others are finding employ-
ment in the undertakings encouraged by the Public
Works Act. It is possible enough that as winter
advances the relief committees, in some towns at
least, may be compelled to enlarge their sphere of
operations once more ; and that the sewing classes,
the adult schools, the soup kitchens will again have
their work to do. With the experience gained last
winter their re-organisation, in places where they
have been wholly closed, will be easy ; while in
others, where they still exist in a state of half sus-
pended animation a simple enlargement of the staff
will suffice. But at present the freedom of the
streets from lounging men, from girls streaming
homewards, not from the factory, but from Sunday
schools or mechanics' institutions, applied to this
unwonted use—from crowds of women eagerly
pressing to some door or window, and turn-
ing away each with her loaf and can of
soup—the absence, is abort, of many of
the outward signs of distress with which the eye
became last winter only to familiar—have restored
to our factory towns mach of their accustomed
aspect.. But there is a very painful listlessness and
weariness about the people's look, as if they had
lost hope and energy, and had no strength left,
except to wait passively till better times come
round. Those who are out of work rely upon the
relief committees with a quietness which, if I mis-
take not, has at least as much lassitude as real
moral confidence in its composition ; those who are
at work have by no means, as I have stated above,
escaped the battle with privations, and in the
meanwhile are weighed upon by • constant sense
of the precariousness of their livelihood. I speak,

of mime, of the better class of operatives : ikon
who in ordinary times hovered on the verge of
pauperism, andsometimes overpassed it, feel neither
shame nor uneasiness in getting all they can

out of relief committees. But upon the hopeful
spirit, the vigorous energy of the better working
men and women, there can be no doubt that this
calamity lays a heavier hand day by day.

The question of clothing is one which now begins
to press upon the attention of relief committees.
And surely not without reason.. The highest rate
of relief which has been given in this district
during the last two years affords no margin for this
necessary object of outlay. It is true that last
winter a very large distribution of bedding and
clothing took place ; true that the blankets and
sheets then given will not need renewal now. But
if it is recollected that many of the recipients of
clothing weredriven tothelestextremity before help
came ; that what was then given them—much of it
already half worn—has been almost their only cover-
ing for twelve months ; that the distribution, from
the terrible pressure of the destitution and the
inexperience of the distributors, was imperfectly
and unequally made ; and that many families who
kept their heads above water last winter will now
be candidates for this kind of relief—it will be
seen that this want is naturally of periodical recur-
rence, and must ,be met by a periodical effort.
Many relief committees are already addressing
themselves to the task, in the hope of executing it
more deliberately and successfully than they were
able to do last November. Some have accumulated
considerable stocks of underclothing from the
labours of the sewing classes throughout the year ;
others are applying to this purpose whatever
balances may remain in their hands. It is greatly
to be regretted, I think, that the Manchester
central committee—the amount of whose grants
is already dictated by a stern spirit of
economy—has declined to make any special
appropriation of money for this purpose ; and
intends to confine its activity to the reception and
distribution of donations of clothing from tbegenersl
public. I am entirely ignorant of the reasons which
have led to this decision but I know from my own
personal observation that the people need clothing,
and that the want must tin some way or other be
supplied. The effort which was made last autumn
by private charity will I believe be made again, if
the necessity for it be fully known. And the more
that can be done through the central and local com-
mittees—the less through the hands of irrespon-
sible private distributors—the better.
There is one other subject to which I wish briefly
to allude—though I do so with some hesitation—.
the health of the population. 1 find in the last
monthly report of the Central Committee that
"they have good reason to believe that" this "is
generally in a satisfactory condition." 1 hear that
the medical officers of poor law unions make
favourable returns, while it is claimed for the
factory operatives who are doing out-door work as
a qualification for relief that they improve in
appearance and gain in weight ; and yet at the
same time there is au uneasy feeling on the part of
many who are most intimately acquainted with the
working people that this condition of things is
deceptive, and that the vigour of the population has
been sapped to a perceptible extent by the long
pressure of distress. I fully believe that the change
from the hot atmosphere of the mill to the rough
breezes of a Lancashire hill-side has improved the
physique of the operative ; but what of his growing
children, who can no longer be allowed un-
limited access to the loaf ; of his wife, who
quietly stints herself for his, and the
children's sake 1 Then there has been a considerable
amount of overcrowding : families have gone
into smaller houses ; two families have consented
to occupy one house. In the town of Glossop alone
there are at present 374 houses and 51 shops to let,
every one of which was in all probability occupied
two years ago. And if the reports of small-pox,
scarlatina, measles, &c., which are rife is so many
districts, have no more than a foundation of fact,
must it not be that a population accustomed to a
much more generous diet than they have been able
to procure for two years past—unable to command
the comforts and luxuries which at certain occasions

and periods of life are indispensable—crowded
within narrower limits, insufficiently clad, and
weighed upon by a constant pressure of almost
