LONDON:
FRIDAY, JANUARY 15, le4l.
The

present duty on wheat is 263. Bd., and
in 444. of ourf
people are perishing from cold and
with We scarcely ever look into a Journal
finding, as in the Courier of last evening,
tt)ale articles with headings of this description ;--
d P'ATIIS FROM STARVATION. Every such
tleaAtk Night to be headed CORN-LAW MURDERS,
144 it Will probably be useful to the good cause
thus t° give, in a fe-s words, a correct description of
tvie, fleets of that law. The cases, however,
itlulth are brought before the public, through the
a ,tiornentality of a Coroner's inquest, do not form
4tho, nor the hundredth part of those whom that
th, continually puts to death. Men sacrifice other
arit'D to procure food—clothes, fuel, shelter—all
th" dispensed with to obtain bread ; and whatever
_erefore deprives the people of bread deprives them
;41.t,felletlo.th es, fuel, and shelter.
six shillings and eight-pence is now the
eitY ya
quarter of wheat, while the price is
dice 9d.; consequently at this moment, in this
l
• r3' Weather, when the most comfortable cloth-
g' the the largest fires, and the driest shelter, arc re-
'tl
oired to preserve life and health, the Corn• law
.(
a , )Ivery nearly one-third of every man's loaf,
steel deprives all the poor of food, clothing, fuel, and
What an unspeakably barbarous and
cruel law.
h The coal mines of England arc inexhaustible ;
he
Power to manufacture clothing is absolutely
Ill'inratted and illimitable ; her command (naturally,
liciliall tqeded by timber duties) over foreign timber,
'Y equal to her manufacturing hovers ; and
Arid w
sequently the means of clothing, sheltering,
o arming the people, by their own industry, arc
I,Molited and inexhaustible. But all these bounties
oi
I r°vidence, all these testimonies to its infinite
goodness, arc rendered vain and unavailable by the
volt tuntaieettrsedning,
:e.kedness of the Legislature in decreeing and in
in spite of warnings and demands, the
Corn law.
b Will the electors of Walsall by their votes for a
1: ati*taxer, sanction and confirm this murdering
? Will the
y make themselves accessories, now
the that the fact
is known, to the wilful starvation of
filepe ? Forbid it justice, forbid it humanity,
mthid religion
t,ih:erivlifeobrir
jejan gd-taxers, we see, impudently boast in
q Post, that " the Wesleyan Metho-
tiist3 have, with a very few exceptions, resolved to
their influence into Mr. GLADSTONE'S
e„ale.'" The Episcopalians, the Puseyites, the
quasi Papists, and other deriders of and deserters
freill the upright and fearless Protestantism of our
Lathers, would no doubt be very ready to catch the
:esleyans in their net. In every part of the cowl-
' Y.:the Episcopalian priesthood, whose pecuniary
Ilterest
is bound up with the maintenance
fv °llr the
Corn-law, have lectured and spoken in its
;Such' and got up petitions against abolishing, it.
tuit conduct has added very much in every part
te ociOntry to the unpopularity of the Episcopal
