THE PEOPLE'S CHARTER.

Motion made, and Question put, " That this House, re-
cognizing the great principle that labour is the source of all
wealth, that the people are the only legitimate source of
power, that the labourer should be the first partaker of the
fruits of his own industry, that taxation without representa-
tion is tyranny, and should be resisted, and believing that the
resources of the Country would be best developed by laws
made by representatives chosen by the labouring classes in
conjunction with those who live by other industrial pursuits;
that (in recognition of the above great truths) this House
adopts the principles embodied in the document entitled The
People's Charter, namely, Annual Elections, Universal
Suffrage, Vote by Ballot, equal Electoral Districts, no Pro-
perty Qualification, and payment of Members." The House
divided :--
