COPY tJ a.c pinTrloN from the TOWNS of NIANcliEs-
TER and. SA A
LFORD against the proposed ALTER' . .

"in the conN LAWS. - - - •
To the Honourable the 041'1111°ns of the United Kingdom of
Great Britain and Ireland, in Parliament-assembled.

ryriTEhumble Petition of the undersigned I 1
•chants, Cotton Manufacturers, Spinners, -and other
Tithabitants, of the Towns and Neighbourhood of Manches-
'fey and Salford, in the County Lancaster, . .

Sheweth,

That yourPctitioners, deeply impressed with the serious
corroNttenes of the proposed additional Restrictions upon
the importation of Corn, feel it their imperious duty to state
the sitnal ion of the Cotton Manutactore. _ _ _

That this tHeaure must materially raise the price of Corn,
and consequently that of every other species of Provisions.
That during the War considerable fluctuations in the price
of labour were created by political circumstances, but that
the average price, which is the standard of support,
,was but
barely equal to the'maintettauce of the Manufacturing La-
bourers.

That the manufacturing. IVZlges are now very much lower
thin upon an average during the War, without any prospetit
of advance.

That notwithstanding erroneors opinions which have been
stated before Pat'llament, concerning manufacturing wages
not being ~.'ep?.ndent upon the price of Provisions, your Peti-
tioners are conrincctl that ally permanent rise in them wilt
lift the price of the an.ss of labOnr, anal diminish the demand
far it.

That considerable emigrations of skilful wolknien, anil a
large transfer of capital, have already taken place to the
Continent and the United States, and if Cie pressure is in-
creased, it is impossible to calculate tire consequences.
That the progress already made in, Foreign Countries dur-
ing the War, by the introduction of our improvements in the
Cotton Machinery, and by the cheapness of labour, has in
many instances !hailed, and in others supplanted, British
fabrics:
That your Petitioners consider the proposed measure Kill
undermine the foundations of our Manufactures, and, in con-
sequence, ultimately and equally injure the interests of the
Landholders'
That your Petitioners, relying upon the general and-strong
exctression of the sense of the Country last year against this
measure, have hitherto. abstained from .further representa-
tions.
That your Petitioners, considering the price cf Provisions,
and the excessive depresion of waL:es, view the proposed mea-
sure with the greatest:alarm and consternation, and most se-
riously conjure your most Honourable House that it may not
pass into a Law.
