There is no change in the situation of affairs.
Both pestles—the employers and the artisans seem to ham

able. Meetings have been either held, or are about

The men argue that they are justified In what they have

that the very corner-stone of political economy la the

principle that every man is 'imposed to be the best
}Mee of his own interest, and that this priaciple
is still better founded when applied to large bodies
of men, and they complain that because they have taken •

are a large majority. To be exereleing tyraany over they
whose secret sympathy and smut you possess, Is certainly
net very consistent. They all admit that a strike le a great
' evil, but, if they are right in their view, that their labour is
mirth mem than they MONTS for it, they ask what
ether of making repeated sad respectful
dame& the an advisee, and the rifted of those
die, tans open to the than a straw. Tee
bah able, of aaakied, they say, is downright Amery.
and that it le well for England that those who regard thew
selves as oppressed should still hematite liberty of expeseling
thin by speech and by strike. They urge that they do net
participate in the general Improvement and program of
society—that whilst it is perlectiy true that there is an sir
solute program, the oommaad of the working 01148 ever the
necessaries and conveniences of life is we relatively fa.
creased. The invention of types and the prating pre aft
enormously increased the amount sad chespinsi ohs priced

labours from sunrise to sunset, who labours in bat se
much that he hae never had time to learn to read?
The division of labour has 'multiplied products, bat ease.'
mists themselves admit that workmen have been aphid
thereby. The invention of maeltinery has cheapens' prey
daets ; but they plots Mr. Ricardo, who aim " lum son-
eased that the substitution of maohleary for human Ishtar is
sera lanutious to the interest of the clam of labourers;" sad
WI. 8. Mill, who says, " I doubt If all the machinery that
woe ever invented has lessened by an hour the labour of any
human being." They all admit the namely of com-
petition; bat they ask why the railway committee,
which are great capitalists, should demand that parliament
should interfere to prevent competition in railways. They
say that if • *mond railway was made by the side of the
North-Western the public would be attained, though the
existing proprietors would be Injured, just es they are told
that by the introdual ion of a new machine the general public
gains, although the workman in that particular department
is which the machine is ictrodooed are thrown out of em-
ployment. In sewer to those who say that they might
become capitalists themselves if they saved the 50,000,0001.
raw spent yearly in strong drinks and abeam, they oak
what would In that ma become of the producers of strong
drinks and tobacco and the public revenue. If they seam to
ommumes those artieles, will Mr. Gladstone guarantee that
he will met tax bread and emit, aad if so, how ere the
70,000,0001. of expenditure, which he requires, to be raised ?
They ark whether they are to believe Mr. Porter, who pate
forward this view, or Mr. Paley, who aye that if a fisher-
man goes oat to catch fish in order to smoke " the filthy
weed" the growth of tobacco is a benefit. They see clearly
_ _

enough that the laws of supply and dorsi frigate wept,
but they quote in reply Lord Bacon, who was in favour of
"fixing the value of things vendible," and Adam Smith, who
speaks of a "central price, to which the pekoes of all
commodities we continually gravitating, and that whatever
may be the obstacles which hinder them from this centre of
repose and continuance, they are constantly tending towards
that std.•

The Importance of capitalists they appreciate, but
then there is Lord Laudeedalle, who sap, " that in general
it may be observed that gnat Inequality of fortune, by im-
poverishing the lower orders, has everywhere been the impe-
diment to the increase of publki wealth." They quote eves
Latin authors to show that it was great capitals that ruined
Rome latifundia perdidere /Warm. Rent, they
say, is requisite, but then Adam Stni,h de-
clares, " that the landlords, like other men, love
to reap whets they have never sowed," and " that when
a lease falls In they commonly demand the ram augmenta-
tion of rent for Improvements made by the stock of their
tenants as if they had been made by their own."
They cannot deny that Judge Halliburtms may be right in

saying that the sakes in England ars caused by its Wealth,
but they would know whether May are to believe him or
Sir R. Peel, who told M. Glided 6. There is too much imf-
firing and too much perplexity in dm condition of the work-
ing chaos; it la • dissmos as will se • danger to car
eivillet/o•; it it ebsolately aseemery to reader their condi-
tion less bard sad less perariese."
Amidst aL this tee sad areee4re of railed economists,
they cowhide that the pretest 'pooh le bat the middle ages
