; 'MEETING; OF, THE COMMON COUNCIL,
(THIS DAY.)".`
Mr.
• 6CONCE STACEY then rose to bring forward. the motion
of vita.,
~__ _ set he had given notice, viz. " That this Court do petition
the Commons House of Parliament for a total repeal of the present
thraeduated scale of duties on the importation of foreign Corn into
t.„,_ Kingdom, and the establishment of a free trade in all articles of
.:°"." , He observed that it was unnecessary for him to enter
7 any great length into the question, as the advocates of the re.
Peal of the present system of Corn-laws had already made out Buell
a_ease as must convince the most sceptical of the absolute necessity
Of such a measure. He trusted that the Corporation
°t the City of London would come forward and pro-
*lnte that most important object It was painful to
:reflect, that after a period of 25 years, during which it was the
boast of England that she was able .0 redress and put an end to alt
the evils that afflicted the rest of the world, by restoring peace, that
she alone should be shut out from the benefits which it was calm.
lated to confer. Notwithstanding that England had been for
twenty-five years engaged in a most tremendous conflict, in which
she had given peace to all the world, her population was now suffer-
ing the most unparalleled misery and distress. Of what value
were all these exertions, and that lavish expenditure of blood and
treasure, if it was to result in this, that the prosperity
of the country was to centre in a small body of land-
. owners, instead of being diffused throughout the whole country?
He would not take up their time by entering into any statistical
details as to the fluctuaiions that had taken place in the price of
eon, and the injury these laws lad inflicted upon the agricultural
classes. Enough had been said and shown, not only at the various
Public meetings that had been held, but in both Houses of Parlia-
ment, to establish the fact that a more fallacious system never had
existed. It was notorious that under the present system the far_
flier never could reckon upon any decided course. He found him-
self constantly subjected to the most fluctuating, ruinous, and gam-
bling
speculations. It had been said that the gentlemen to whom
they ought to look for the greatest amount of intell;gence and in-
formation on the subject of trade and commerce were the most pro-
foundly ignorant of it. They had been told that their object in
seeking the repeal of the Corn.laws was to bring down the wages of
the artisans and labourers to the lowest sum that could support life.
How little must the persons who argue thus be acquainted with the
real working
\
of the system. It was a fact that when corn
Was cheapest wages were highest, and all who were
acquainted with the subject must know that the price of labour did
not depend upon the price of food, but upon the amount of the
supply of labour in the market. Now, although the parties who
Called themselves peculiarly the friend of the farmer and agricul-
tural
labourer asserted that the object of the Corn-laws was
to ptotect their interests, yet the result had shown that
Under the present system the farmers of the country were
'Plug fast to ruin. Even if the ports were entirely open, it ws s
quite clear that they could not have corn introduced into the coun-
try at less than 4s per quarter freight. If there was no other
thatbe.
petit, the agricultural interest would enjoy a protectien to
amount, which was equal to 15 millions per annum. Now did they
find the agricultural labourers better protected and better paid
hear)
those of other countries by that amount ? —(Hear, hear,
On the contrary, it was well known that the wages of the agri-
cultural labourer was seduced to the lowest amount in which he
c,°°lo Possibly support life. It was again urged that if the Corn-
'sws were repealed, a vast rum' er of persons would b.: thrown out
r'f employment. He would ask, however, was there at present
roomfor a single agricultural labourer mote than at present ens-
r'°Yed, and whether the introduction of an additional body would
Out cause a still further reduction of the miserable pittance the
agricultural labourers at present enjoyed.
_°°e of the lion. MEMBERS who spoke in favour of the Corn-
,.',,, s in the House of Commons, had adverted to the aspirations of
the poet ;_...

ill fares the land to hastening ills a prey,
Where wealth accumulates and then decay.
Princes and Peers may flourish or may fade,
A breath can make them, a breath has made.
