POLITICS AS A STUMP FOB COMMON PEOPLE.

Lest night Mr. Anthony Trollope delivered
lecture on the above subject at the Artillery Hall, Strat-
ford-green ;Sir T. Frowns. Hume, Bert., M.P., presided.
The attendance was very large.
The lecturer, who was venally teem en by
emptering a hope that km bad offended nose of those
present by calling them " common people." Before be
began his task of advocating the study of politics as being
good for common people, he would first explain to them
who were sot included in the chum of whom be spoke.
The Prime Minister and his brethren of the cabinet were
exempted, m were alio members of parliament, especially
those who entertained a proper notion of the duties that
appertained. to their office, secretaries, and assistant
wareteries in our government public ogles, ministers,
embeassdoss, end diplomats. La laity in the church were
to the clew y, as patients were to doctors, ss men mid
wows, to shod were to shoemakers, so were those
he addressed and himself as opposed to that small
▪ by whom public affairs were managed.
Now, looking at the question in that light, he hoped
they' ee
would not be offended. Polities, as he took it,
with reference to important public affairs, was the same
as theslw. to religion, or as arithmetic to figures. Ex-
cluding things sacred, politics was the best study in which
they ooald engage, embracing as it did thing, historical as
regarded the pen, and things philosophical as regarded the
future. The r.hirm thee expressed • desire to especially
address himself to the fennel° portion of the audience. In
former days he said, there auk cob* en ides floating about
the world that women should not be politicises, and he
was afraid it still existed in some places. That ides was
preceded by another which was equally prevalent, namely,
that W01:0401 should not read or write, sod that easkine
sarkallig should be their only studies. Primeness seam
of thraldom the female portion of the community ba
itd
escaped. As regarded cooking be thought they bad left
a little too far behind—(aughter)—but with respect
to reading sod writing the women were quite as eilicient
as their male ootopacions. Any prejudice which might
still exist against female politicians was of the same nature
as that which prevailed against female studies. The
opposition, however, was not bad in its origin. It sprang
ceigmally from manly love, coupled, perhaps with a dray
for manly power. As man was willieg to 'fight for his
wife when some fighting was necessary, so was he also
willing to relieve her from the turmoil of bard pursuits.
She became in that state dependent, soft, idle, and conse-
quently *gamma, because in that state she would the
easier minister to him. yet what idea could be more
absurd ? Woman was enviromed by political cirounistanoss,
Wm which the plenty or scarcity of her breed depended.
She was free from or subject to degradation as the poli-
tics el her country might be understood or mis-
understood. The Turk's wife and the English.
mees wife were what they were by the politics of
their respective countries, and that being so, there was
eseeredly no better reason for advocating female
participation in the discussion of political affairs. Refer-
ring to the manner in which politics as science was dealt
with on this sod the other side of the Atlantic, the Imams,
remarked that America a friend of his, with • view of
Biw• a him on his guard against • certain individusl,
" Beware of that man, he's • politician." In the L nited I
States a politician was a man who jobbed In politics ; and
politics taken up as • trade, he might add, admitted of as
grow dishonesty as hone-dealing. (Applause.) Polities
should be a study, not a trade. In the Stets of America
it was so commonly snide • trade that the name politician
Inhad absolutely become infamous. It wee eo once with us.
In tbe days of George 11. few Englishmen engaged in
politics without expecting to gain some money payment ;
end that arose from the fact that comparatively few ow
then handled politics at all. The pester the number of
politicians the lass the possibility of dishonesty. oldo
Reform Bill did more than anything else to do sway with
bribery, and the new bill, he had no doubt, would
carry on the work. (Applause.) The pursuit of
politics should never be a task by which they
would earn their breed; it should be a labour of love,
sud be hoped that in time it would become so amongst
the men and women of this country. People would ask
whether such • study was compatible with the work ,
their daily tires. Many of them worked so hard that an
labour in excess of that by which they earned their daily
bread was more than their energies would support. But
he contended that the study of politics transcended novel
reeding, an occupation against which itwas far fromhb pur-
pose to say snything—(laughter)—and beessint•ined that the
quarrels of France sod Prima possessed, or ought to pos-
sess, a far keener interest than that which attended those
of " Albert" and " Ehuire." It was impossible for him,
in discharging the task he bad undertaken, to avoid
avowing himself a liberal; and he thought that soy
man who devoted his mind to the 'abject of politics
mint be • liberal as beat. (App
laues.) No one
could deny that an tongued study of politics
would give an increased worth to what the;
called public opinion. They ell knew that public
opinion was omnipotent, and especially in polities. The
first reform bill, catholic smsnelpatiou, repeal of the corn
laws, sod now this new reform bill, hod all been carried b
the people in opposition to their pained leaders. Nov.
public opinion was the opinion of those whom he addressed
as and called " common people." He doubted whether some
of them, in speaking of public opinion, attached sufficient
importance to their own individuality, but be begged. them
to remember that it was their opinion, and the opinion of
such as they, which governed their ruler". He reminded
them that ministers oi state, honest and laborious as they
might be, could not do their work of themselves, and that
they could only follow where popular opinion led them.
He instanced the cam of the late Sir Robert Peel whom he
designated as one of the greatest statesmen of modern
times, who always obeyed public opinion in opposition to
his own. It should be • reproach to • men that he was
not • politician. He rtiuded hive as only half • mem who
let public affairs go unnoticed, and be thought that no
girl should marry such a men. (Laughter sudcheem.) The
great object of political study must be general improvement
of our policy, and consequently the general improvement
of our atisens. (Cheers.)
A vote of thanks was given to Mr. Trollops et the cen.
elusion of hie lecture.
