THE MONOPOLISTS' MAJORITY
OF THIRTY-SIX.
It is important that the friends of free trade should 1 ok
the sources from whence their s'rengih is to be gathered gilt
to break down the phalanx which the monopolists deem ill"
pregnable. It is constantly said, " Look at the counties ! they
wtll all be against you." And what if they are ? If the
cities, towns, and boroughs are true to their interests, the coup"
ties may remain " alone in their glory," and may boast, if they
please, that they have not a friend of FREE TRADE and Llo'
TAxEs amongst them.
England and Wales return FIVE HUNDRED MEMBEES; of
these
53 counties (including the Isle of Wight) and the
Two Universities, return 163

Is this a fact to discourage the men of the towns, and W!.

the interest of the landlords, to strike a barg7;
with the sugar monopolists, as was done by the Members r
Lincolnshire on Tuesday night, and to say, "It is true °tlige
