ZONDON, TUBSDAY. OCTOBER &

We have not ceased to rub our ryes slams the
perusal of Lord STANLEY'S speech at Bury. Never
certainly was a speech delivered so utterly unlike
STANLEY. and so complete a foe-simik of Put,. If
poor Sir ROBERT'S conviction as to the necessity of
bringing down the necresaries of life to their natural
price, had been delayed by his circumstances
or position, had he hung ere for a year
or two, and allowed other men and acme
prescient minds to heed the movement, so are et
reaching the goal, be could aot at the eleventh hoar
have made a more plausible, a more clever, a more in-
genious palinody, than Lord STANLIT has done at
Bury. We can intigine Sir RoBTAT PEEL saying
all this in the House of C ommons, and can imagine
the terrible and too just philippic which it would
hove called forth from the honourable member he
Bucks. But the day of prejudice and the time far
rwsrimination are alike gone by. The farmers have
awakened, and it is imperative ea the landlord party
to pull off their nightcaps too, and come down to the
level of plain fasts and common sense.
There remains, however, in the protectionist tamp
a certain set of doll brawlers, whom it was necessary
to occupy and amuse, since it was hopeless to cose
risco them, and whose troublons pursuit it was m-
asonry to appease and prove To these, mused-
hilly, Lord Sreetzir, at the moment of his Bights
hes lung a few sophieme and conundrums, curio= in
their logic, and still more curious in their comae
hwy.
His lordship begins by declaring that as the prima
is to be the probable price of wheat,all those wbo have
made permanent investments in the cultivation of the
soil must lose the capital so expended. As an illus-
tration of this sentence, his lordship explains that 101.
or 124 spent in draining an acre of ground pro-
cures an increased return not of 10s. or 12s. an
acre, which would be dee per cent., but four,
and five times that per centage for years upon the
outlay. Here is a permanent investment, as Lord
STANLEY calls it, which by his own calculation repays
itself, capital cad interest, in five or six years.
Another of his lordship's assertions is, that light
Neils will no longer grow wheat and pay a—the
old common-place about inferior wile gang out
of cultivation, this being =miaowed the Drewry
counterpart of the Iticenno system of supposing ink-
riot soils to have been the last brought into cultivation.
Now, we understand, that if there are soils which
threaten to be unproductive, and to go eat
of cultivation, it is the cold clay soils that have bees
the longest cultivated and the wait cultivated in the
kingdom, and which are still that, upon which least
capital or science has been expended. In these soils
there has been a permanent investment of sluggis►
nese and ignorance. fostered by protection, 'shish
most be lost and got rid of, ere such estate. can be
brought on a level with the times. Lord STANLEY
speaks of wheat as if there was a kind of
laud and a kind of farming that prodneed
nothing else. Bat the improved system of futile
log, now imperative, must regard wheat as OM
of the crops which in the proper course can be pro-
duced. And in this system of farming it is impossible
to consider the profit from the wheat crop and the
profit from fat stock apart. Our oberrestions yesterday
on the opinion pr, hayed by Sir JANIS 1311.01 An at
Carlisle, showed fully how little the expellees of either
all pasture or all corn crops were to be relied upon as
numerative. It is in the =lend& sad skilful blend-
big that profit and success consist. And when Lord
Braetet asserts that light soils can no longer grow
wheat, and when Sir JANES GaAnan asserts that the
arable portion of farms must be converted into pas-
ture, both ppeak with most narrow views and from
the result of most isolated observation.
However, we should make a golden bridge for a
retreating enemy ; sod instead of examining too
closely the excuses and subterfuges of the el-proton.
tionist chief, leave tivin to be tested and exposed by the
day-light of facts. Ibis lordship's grand argument that
free trade in corn and competition in agriculture is
very good fur the Lincashire farmer, bat bad for him
of Lincolnshire or Norfolk, that is a comparison soon
tested. And certainly, as far as wheat growing is
coneerred, the great test of profits in Lord STANLIT'S
views, the manure for the land, or the market for the
produce,ei are just as ready and °trainable by the
of the east as by the farmer of the west. And
even in their late and present times of distress we
doubt much if the former have not shows more
energy and bone no better against bard and compet-
ing tunes than the farmer of the wept, oartosaded by
towns and manufacturing population,.
What Lord STANLEY did not touch upon was fu-
ture pricer. He avoided any portraiture of the Ame-
ricans devouring their own core, and driving the
great area of surplus produce further and further
kacit into the wilds. He did not tell us what was
likely to be the consequence of the emancipation of
the soh who now till the soil in the east
of Europe, and who as freemen, or semi-
freemen, will demand their share of that produce,
which as yet they do 'not presume to touch. Lord
STANLEY keeps from view the great probability, that
We have reached the lowest prices of agricultural
prods= both from abroad and from home though
they are not lower than were known under protec-
tion ; and that every step in civilisation has the ten-
dency of cheapening the coat of produce at home, and
of enhancing it abroad.
The importance of Lord STANLEY'S speech, how-
ever, lies not in its argumests for or airiest free
trade. Its importance consists in the altered posit:lea
assumed by the chief leader of the proteetioniote.
He evidently flings the rump of his party over-
board. He comes forward no longer as the ob-
stinate representative of the Home of STANLEY, bat
as the supple candidate who would step into the
'place and the prestige d Pm, ousting even the
disciple of that great man, Mr. GLADSTONE, from
the post which he evidently ambitions. There are
indeed many Roberts in the kid, sad at hart
half. dozen statesmen who aspire to the omelet
and colossal position at Pm., astride the two
motions of togyirsa, and 'saki use of the se
of both, whilst playing the a&bk and the popular in
the fees ot the cranky. In this aim, however, Pm.
himself met with no maples moms, whilst there is
not gee et his imitators who ma hop for one tithe
of even that which Sir Roam Pm attained.
Whether Lord Joust llcesau. himself is net diepsosd
to play Pan, se well as Lord STANLEY, Mr. 01AD-
nom E, Mr. Menem, and bir Jamas Onsasa, is a
conjecture which most remain for the issuing mien
to clear up.
