A FEW PLAIN FACTS.

`.LEXTR♦CT FROM ♦ PAMPHLET RECEHTLT
PUSLISHED WITH THI• TITLE.]
(Continued fro oar Pepe' of Saturday)

Ad tong the nominally sober, prudent. and in.
dustrious tribe. I mean the trading part of the
community, bankruptcy is so common as to occa-
sion no Imo of character.
Before paper formed the sole currency of the
country ; before Mr. I'itt's mischievous bonding
system was introduced. a man could not become a
merchant without a capital. and was content to
dedicate • whole life to acquire a fortune. It
now requires a greater capital to set Up a grocer's
shop than to become • general merchant. A men
becennes the merchant by lilting a miserable
apsittnent, which he calls en office. or counting-
house, obtaining credit by the asoistance of other
equally daring spread 'tom living for • time,
the Lord knows where, and the Lords knows
how ; if his suecuheinns succeed. he takes •
house westward, and lives out his gains, but is
dashed so pieces on any unfavourable turn in his
gambling speculations. or survives for • time by
a fraudulent bankruptcy.
The land and real wealth of the country are now
mortgaged to pay the interest of a thnusaud mil-
lions, and the mortgage must he satisfied as all
other snottgages are, or the public creditor must be
defrauded; -for as no man can become richer by
rimming in debt, neither can • station. though the
effect may be checked for a time by extraordinary
circum•tances.
The land-owners should he thankful that circum-
stances enabled them, during the last twenty or
thirty years, to receive by advanced rents over and
-above the rent of their lands when the war began,
a nun of money equal to the purchase or the fee
simple of their lands at the old r-tits.
They now insolently, foolishly. or hypocritically
consider themselves aggrieved.• in consequence of
the taxes and poor-rates (which lust, the tenant, by
the hy, pays), and the advanced price in most
things ; for that they are not no-s richer in effect than
formerly. though they admit they are numerically,
as if a continued miracle were to he worked, to
gratify their selfishness, and to counteract the ordi-
nary effect of individuals or notions running into
debt ; were they now half as rich as they ware be-
fore the war began, they should lw content. Their
weediness has, however, been without reason or
bounds; for. notwitlistandine the ire-eminence
they assume over the other classes of society, they
have in many instances become provincial bankers.
• description of persons that should he put in the
lowest lice of tradesmen ; they do Hot add to the
riches of a country. nor do they give employment
to many. They *nay perhaps give facility to trade ;
and an may a broad-wheel waggon, or a wheel-
barrow ; but it is most probable that by fociltesoing
credit, tlwy bring ruin ou thousands, and on them-
selves. Were the evil to full silly 011 themselves.
all would rejoice ; and if the laws of the country
do not inflict exemplary punishment on bankrupt
bankers. the general sense aid morals of the coun-
try should supply ihe deficiency.
A re t hese laud owners, these admirers of the mien
rigine in France, aware that trade degraded the
gentleman, and that en agiolettr was a disgraced
character in a degraded class ?
A trader cannot be a gentleman, living with idle
unprofessional people ; he may be a respectable and
useful man. and enjoy all the comforts wealth eau
Wee ; lie may have political weight in his own dis-
trict, or evert occasionally in Parliament ; but now
that Patliamesst sits fur snooty months, and is become
, the real executive power, titling by its leaders, the
Ministers for the time being. Parliament is not tl.e
place for tradesmen, nor for men whose attention
is employed ou other people's concerns, The host
of lawyers that get into Parliament is objection-
able. He whose attent• has beeu given to his
own trading concerns, or his client's, all the day,
requires the relaxation stud comforts of home,
and family society. Ile cannot attend Par-
liament to a late hour, nor mix in the society
and amusements of idle men, who turn eight
into day. that they may continue a class,
apatt from the usefully employed members of so-
ciety. who fatigue themselves by following what
they call pleasure, and exemplify the doctrine, li-
terally or metaphorically true, that mato must earn
his bread with the sweat of hss brow. Idleness is
too great a misery fur man to bear.
The great fluctuations in the public funds from
various causes, and the absence of 'toy fixed crite-
rion of value, solace tint, 1,11101 is called property,
in such a stele of toncertalitty, us perfectly to cows-
teract the galena industry, or the saving of emirs-

These fluctuations have counderable effect on all,

had the facts been contiticingly proved against
Lord Coeltrane which were alleged against him,
the censure and punishment he incurred were too
severe. Do we not daily hear and reed of stuck-
jobbing sloth s, as things of the most freepiesit
occurretsce, wish either parte ittillfference„ or a
alight formal censure ?
ll'hat possible evils could have happened during
tine few hours the dccept existed, of a hide Lord
Cochrane was supposed to be privy, equal to thus:

expectations, held out by the Chancellor of the
Exchequer, which raised the 3 per cent:. to 80 told,
and winch have subsequently finest marl) a fourth,
to 60 odd ?
To promote the hopes. that he vainly (.o use no
harsher word) cherished of reducing the interest of
the 4 and 5 per cents., he prepo.ed,aitd Pat Lament
consented to buriow money at 66, when the 3 per

nishment fallen on the proper person ? It inav be
admitted that a public debt of a ruuderase size to a
c.soverrience to the public; yet the difficulty to give
a precise interpreintion to the word moderate. and
the great probability that the debt will increase be-
yowl modenstioo. scent sufficient to pens! out the
propriety of absolutely avoiding a public debt.

14 Lead us net into isProplation." are worth which
should be forgotten in this canting age.
The evils which the funds produce, by affording
to all an easy and profitable deposit for money, are
great.
The whole yeomanry. formerly the pride and
strength of the country, is nearly extinct, many
of whom were the descendsons of gentlemen of
!ended property : small estates have been sold ;
and land his not been as exteruively *ad as
well cultivated as it would have beat, had the
owners been obliged to employ their gains iss
the improvement of it, or the successful trades.
man in the purchase of it: for otherwise their gold
and silver must have accumulated in their chests,
or been employed in the same contemptible manner
as was adopted by the Dutch fur want of hand.
The present distress assoog a large portion of
the community may hr ascribed to this cause as
much as to any one other, though massy others con-
tribute thereto.

I'he annihilation of small estates and firms, and
life and leasehold property, in a great degree among
those who actually cultivated them, and the elide.
aure of small commons, have reduced those who
lived in opulence and independence, to the condi.
lion of day-labienrers, add the day-labourers to
such a degree of poverty, as to inevitably generate
much misery and discontent.
We have been told, that by throwing many firms
together, anal letting Ihrin to a !tempo wish a large
capital, snore cone haa been produced by the supe-
rior wealth, intellect, and science of the great
farmer, than formerly by the small fouler; now
mark the result : Esiglstid oils • great exporting
corn country, it is How • great importing corn
conntry, notwoliatanding the many enclosures which
took place during the late reign. The poor.rates
were formerly ii.cossiderable, they are now enorm-
ous ; and push is the poverty of a large portion of
neisiufacturing and agricultural labourers, that
many are supported by them.
A ready, but 1 believe a false answer le, that leo.
puletion has greatly increased.
Popsention will not increase, where gentlemen
011(1 gentlewomen without stint exist by the crea-
tion of a debt of • thoueinill millions, and where
labour no longer gives a healthful subsitence.
G.Htletnese fundholders, and gentlemen by office,
receiving salaries for life or during pleasure, 11101
day-labourer, reduced to the utmost extent or pos-
sible deprivation consistent with existence, me nut
likely generally to marry, and it is by marriage that
population is increseed.
To the rich and philosophical farmer let the ques-
tion be put, what is now the average crop of wheat,
oats, and barley in England ? and what wits it from
60 to SOO years ago ? Eighteen bushel' of wheat
at the uttermost are considered as an average crop :
let three bushels be deducted for seed, and have
we much to boast of from capital and science, that
the earth gives an increase of five? Did it produce
less when it was not cultivated by philosophical
farmers and great capitalists ? Is there any country
in Europe where the return is smellier ?
Where is now the poultry, where the pig, where
the cow, which formerly stocked the yard of the
small farmer, and brought riches to the owner, and
plenty to the public ?
Would it be injurious to the community,if much
of the bad land were thrown out of tillage, sod made
to support that only which it formerly dial. To
adduce • krone case were the Weds of Notfolk
bordering on Suffolk to rear only ridding, mod the
tall long-legged breed of Norfolk sheep as formerly,
would the tenant, the landlord, and commostity
be injured ? Tlw lend-tax on those very poier
lauds, hears a higher proportion to the present rents
of them, than it dews to the ticker lands in the
same county, more adapted to the cultivation of
corn, and which have been in tillsge from before
the I stablislinient of the land-tax.
Almost all the celebrated writers in France fore-
told the colivulsions which lately fell on that conn-
try. tend which or have lived • to witness; and be
must be blind indeed, who does not see that • si-
milar storm is banging ever this country, and that
it may induce more misery than ever existed lector',

ettelgencies it has enabled thousands to enjoy, or at
least to practise.
%Val men never become wise, will they never take
warning, sill they never exercise that faculty in
some little degree, which the wily Scot found it
expedient to assign to Englialineria ? Our pre-
servatiou nifty yet be obtained by the exercise of
commons sense void honesty, and by not endeavour-
ing to per.uaile ourselves and others, that two mud
