He hoped he would not say (for it was not his v.... _ • '—AI)
word to provoke an angry feeling; but he could not ....,
thinking what unpleasant feelings must be entertained by those
who found that their party was divided. There were three
propositions proposed, which would give full and entire sada-
fustian to all political economists, but he begged leave to state
that these propositions were not supported by any argument on
the part of the Noble Lord (Russell). He stated he would
not ruse en
.angry feeling, and he would apply himself to that
part of the question of most importance, and would only
occupy their attention for two or three minutes.—( Hear. )
His view of things was this that in trade we should
to procure all articles at the most moderate market. Looking
at the products of Europe generally, he found that averages
could not be made of crops as if they were the products of
steam-engines. Much would depend on the state of the wea-
ther, for the variations in it would create great difference in
the averages, and consequently in the price of fo d.
o The
largest average was 140 per cent., and that was an average
extending over a period of twenty-four years.
In Prussia the average was 212 ; in Saxony
it wee 269; and in Westphalia it was 340.
But as he told them himself in his remarkable speech, the
osuntries which produced potatoes prohibited their export.
From Sweden, from Belgium, from Holland, the distress was
there so great, you could have hoped for nothing. He also
told you that Turkey and Egypt refused t , permit the higher
kinds of grain to be exported. But might they_ not supply
the wants of Ireland with an inferior grain.—(Hear, hear. )
He was quite aware that he could from the pages of " Hnsard"
prove various inconsistencies on the part of those who now
advised this measure. But it was needless, as the very authors of
it in the strongest terms admitted them. His Noble Friend
(the Member for London) had himself made great changes in
his opinions on the subject of this very question. He neither
taunted him or the members of the Government with whatin
passed. He did not accuse him of having been
interestede
ht
any such change, and he not only did not itccuseth .g
Hon. Baronet of having been influenced in his change by im-
pure motives, from his personal knowledge of him, but from
that which was clear to every oue, that he had no conceivable
motive for those changes, and that he had every conceivable
motive from refraining from them. He was at the head of the
largest majority that ever sat in that House since 1834.
It was a party on whom he might have looked with some
satisfaction.—(Loud cheers.) A party who certainly looked
up to him with respect, and only regretted that they were not
earlier acquainted with his weaknesses.—(Cheering and great
laughter.) He hoped, however, that his Right Hon. Friend
would forgive him if he exactly distrusted his powers as a
statesman in the same proportion as he had suddenly changed
the opinions formerly held by him.—(Hear, hear.) if he
were uow a great statesman all his former acts were those of a
personinsensible to the wants of the country. In these observa-
tions he was speaking his cool and deliberate conviction. They
could net admit the purity of his motives without impeaching
his claim to guide the destinies of a free country.
—( Cheering. ) His suddenness of change was such, that there
might not be another change in another month. With re-
spect to his Noble Friend the Member for the city of London,
if he gave him a pledge that he would support the Irish
Church, he knew that he would carry out that pledge to the
utmost extent, and nothing could induce him to swerve from
his promise, he therefore knew to what he had to trust, and
he would much rather trust an open enemy.—(Cheering.)
(Here the Hon. Gentleman paused for a few moments.) " I
stopped," continued the Hon. Baronet, " for my own sake—
I will not pursue the subject."--(lmmense cheering.) He
would not put the Government into the hands of the
Gentlemen opposite. With respect to the Noble Lord op-
posite, he had, however, to observe that his change had been
at least four years old. While be deeply deplored the part taken
by the Government, he could not help asking at what time
were these measures brought forward? They were brought
forward at a time of profound peace. Ireland had not at
that time her monster meetings ; England was arrived at
a pitch of prosperity almost unexampled, to which she bad
grown under the very system now proposed to be altered.
Why then should they, when well, take physic and die? He
pledged himself to the fact that, in every instance, the actual
produce was greater last year than the year before. Under these
circumstances he. for one, could not see why the Govern-
ment measure should be supported.
Captain FITZMAURICE, who spoke most inaudibly, said
he confessed his view of the question of protection was very
different from that of the Right Hon. Baronet. He regarded
it as a compensation for the industry of the agriculturist,
and as a security against the competition of foreign agricul-
turiste, in consequence of the peculiar burdens which fell to
the land of this country. He defended it, therefore, on those
grounds—on the ground of the burdens which pressed en the
agricultural energy of the country. He defended last year the
protection which was given to the West India planters oil the
same principle. The Right Honouraele Baronet him-
self, in 1844, had given expression to the same ideas.
With regard to the present measure which has been
brought before the country, it was stated by the Right
Hon. Baronet that he rested it upon the famine, which was
apprehended in Ireland. He would ask the Government had
they taken that view of the question which ether countries had
adopted under similar anticipations? Had ;they attempted to
prevent exportation. Had they adopted those other expe-
dients which the necessities of the case seemed to warrant ?
In Ireland, exportation of corn and provisions had been
proceeding to an enormous extent since October last.
The Right Honourable Baronet had taken protection
off this country when the country had a great impulse from
public works—for instance, such as from railways. Let him
take the county of Wiltshire; they had no shipping which
could bring about a benefit to that county by importation.
How, then, could the present measure—how could free trade
benefit that part of the country ? Manufactures were carried on
there, agricultural pursuits were prosperous there, but free
trade, with all its importation, woald not be of any advantage
to its inhabitants. Now, let there be a railway
constructed through that county, and the people
would be greatly benefited by such a project.
( Hear, hear.) It was said that the manufacturers of this
country would be received by foreign countries in exchange
for their corn. Let them take Poland for instance. Now he
spoke from information furnished by a gentleman residing in
that country, and he would say that the growers of corn there,
when the duties would be taken off in this country, would
send corn from there at 303. the quarter. Let them take
America. They were told that the growers of corn there
would take the manufactures of this country in exchange for
their grain, but he had good grounds for saying that they would
want gold and not manufactures. It is well known that
the American shipping left this country, after getting rid of
their corn, in ballast, and, that would be the very way in
which they would leave our ports when free trade
became a law. What said the Right Hon. Baronet in 1844 ?
At that period he complained that the principles of free trade
were delusive and visionary. Such was not his opinion now,
however. There was one way of remedying the evil of a
famine without bringing forward the present measure, and that
was to be done by taking the price of corn at the weight, and
not by the measure. If this had been done, corn and bread
would now be more corresponding in price, and still protection
he upheld. Can it be expected that farmers will lay out their
money in making improvements, when the law which protects,
or rather ought to protect him, is to be changed by the Right
Honourable Baronet, who had always led them to believe him
their best friend, by his having always spoken in their favour.
It was said that "woman's vows were traced in sand." Ile
should like to know what men's vows were traced in. Were
they traced in adamant ?—( Laughter.) Ile should like to
know what the Right Honourable Baronet's vows were traced
na 'S-4 Hear, bear.) He (Captain Pitzmauriee) thought they
were traced in steam.—( Great laughter.) The Honourable
Baronet had made vows, but they were all broken ; all the pro-
aims made had been abandoned, those who had supported him
were not taken into consideration, their opinions, their influ-
ence, and their interests were alike disregarded. He might
well say—
" Blow, blow, thou wintry wind,
Thou art not so unkind,
Nor is thy breath so rude
As man's ingratitude."
The Hon. Member sat down amidst some applause.
Mr. SYDNEY HERBERT said that of all the speeches
which had been delivered against the present measnre
of her Majesty's. Goverment, he might select the last
two speeches as arguments in its favour.—(Hear, hear.)
Those changes had not been forced upon the Government by
any choice of their own, but by the advent of circumstances
which it was not possible for any. human power to foresee. lie
wished he could be convinced that the position of
Ireland wail really not such as had been represented,
or that he could be justified in declaring that the
contemplated change in the law affecting the price
of food would be unnecessary, but they had had too many
proofs to the contrary not to be satisfied of the justness and ex-
pediency of this measure. The lion. Member had stated in his
speech, that there was deficiency of food in Ireland, or rather
that there was an average supply, and that therefore the appre-
hended lose or deficiency need not be apprehended.
Sir R. INGLIS said he alluded to the potato crop.
Mr. SYDNEY HERBERT continued by saying that the
potato crop was not the exclusive food of the people of that
country. It would not be necessary for him now to expatiate
upan the miseries and misfortunes of a large mass of people ,tilt)
were accustomed to subsist- upon that article of food. They
bad already heard a great deal as to the state of
flat portion of the population who were compelled to
depend . upon •this worst kind of subsistence for the
greater part of the year. But if the Hon. Members had
followed oat bis argument by quoting the returns, the state of
the crops for several years past, he would have found that in
many instances there had been actual deficiencies for the supply
required, even where the crop was stated to have been an
average one. During the whole of those discussions he should
. bat he had heard no arguments or statements which had
the effect of lessening the truth of the reports the Government
had received from
Thetle iragistracY and constabulary in Ireland
on this subject. Government had neither lent too willing

that the prices had been raised precisely in that same seen
had occurred in November, 1845 ; but there was a great die-
Unction as
to be noticed between the causes upon these two
occasions. For instance, it would often be found that the
wheat crop was an average crop, but the quality was
bad, and yet the bread made from it was not;
the result was, that bad bread was not

This might have resulted from a combination of circumstances
that no Government could have foreseen. But lion. Members,
while they argued in favour of the corn-laws, seemed to forget
that those laws were enacted in order to meet the expediency
caused by a transition from a state of war to a state of peace, and
now that the time came when they ought to be abolished, for
they seen that other countries had met the circumstance of
ascarcity
of food by throwing open theirports to all the world,

it would be told what countries went oar
would come
from.--(Hscar, hear.) If they went to Dantzic they could
purchase Polish wheat ; but he doubted if it could be got free
on board at as cheap a rate as it could at present be purchased
at home.—(Hear,hear.) So far from the corn-laws having
produced an unsteadiness in price, if they looked to the last
en
ty years, they would find that fluctuation was
jtlewssat present than in the year 1815. In Spain, where
corn was grown cheaper than in any country in the world,
they had to import grain from America ; and he (Mr. Her-
bert) should say that he found a great alteration of opinion
amongst the public at large, and particularly amongst the agri-
culturists
hand tenant farmers on the question of protection.
(Hear, ear.) It was not long since that a meeting took place
in a part of the country called Goatacre. He was not prepared
to deny that these working men were not drawn together by
their own agencies, but he would say that all the statements
they advanced as to the manner in which they lived were per-
fectly true. He, for one, lived in the midst of a population
of considerable extent, and he scarcely knew how they existed,
He knew, however, that whether these facts were or were
net true, the investigation of them could do no harm to the Go-
vernment.--( Hear, hear.) He confessed he had heard other
arguments more cogent than the extension of commerce, end
the advancement of the trade of the country. He saw that
the question must be settled, and that this was the time in
which it could be best settled with honour.—(lronical cheers
from the Protection benches, and loud cheers from the Op-
position side of the House.) Honourable Gentlemen might
have a different opinion as to what constituted a settle-
ment of the question, or to the honour of which he
was speaking. He was speaking, not of the honour of the
Government, nor of personal honour, but of what he con-
ceived was justifiable and expedient as an honest man.—
( Ironical cheers.) He said, after much inquiry and careful
deliberation he, as an honest man, had found good reason for
changing his opinion on the corn-laws. He had not lightly
abandoned the opinions and convictions he had previously en-
tertained, but, despite the threats which had been held out,
against the advice of many friends and advisers, and though the
terror of his constituents had been employed to intimidate him,
he had followed the dictates of his conscience rather than their
influence and dictation.—(Hear, hear.) He said that all this
would take place, and that it would be the subject of
deep mortification to many ; but, at the same
time, be knew his duty to them, as well as
what he owed his country.—( Hear, hear.) He had, there-
fore, taken bis present course, honestly to act for the public
good. So much for personal honour ; but the honour to
which he alluded, when interrupted, was the honour of the
country gentlemen, who had now the opportunity of conceding
the measure without danger. There was no danger in the
question at present, whatever there might be if it was de-
layed. They could now allow the question to succeedd w
de-
ith
honour, which would not be the case did they in
feating the proposition submitted to the House. They had
against them parties of great weight, independent of the agita-
tion of the Anti-Corn-law League—an association conducted
by men of great energy and perseverance, who would not stay
their exertions till they succeeded in their object.—( Hear.) He
did not however call on the country gentlemen to yield to that
agitation, but to the dictates of reason. If they did not yield
to reason, they would be obliged to yield to another power—not
a power of reason or agitation, but a more material and
dangerous force. But he would suggest a stronger motive
than any he had done. The public mind was net in
the same state it was in 1815. In those days
the Government had not the support of the people.
In 1841, when the Noble Lord the Member for the
City of London brought forward his budget, he (Mr.
Sidney Herbert) supported the principle of free trade, but
objected to its application, thinking corn an exception to the
rule. He had seen reason to alter that opinion, and now the
public mind was more enlightened, and men of all political parties
and commercial and trading interests joined together to give
effect to this measure, They saw that the corn-laws were a tax
to benefit fine class at the expense of another. Honourable
Gentlemen had said that the Parliamentary party of the Go-
vernment was broken up. Surely they did not mean to say
that the great Tory or Conservative party were bound together
only by a question of customs or imports—that they
placed their existence on a mere political arrangement.
The corn-laws were not a part of the constitution, but rather
opposed to its spirit.. In former times the public mind was so
sensitive regarding an import of this kind, that when
the duty on corn was but sixpence a quarter, that
duty had had to be suspended. He maintained that
these laws were contrary to the whole spirit of the
constitution. He was not one to make that constitution more
democratic than it was, as democracy was in some instances
rather more like despotism than what it professed to be. He
wished to preserve the aristocratic elements in it, as he con-
sidered them essential to the proper working of the Constitu-
tion ; and on these grounds he said to them,
do not act in opposition to the measure—do not in
any manner interfere so as to occasion its rejection.
Let them recollect that great changes had taken place in their
manufacturing and social arrangements. These manufacturing
arrangements had been increased to an enormous extent.
There might be many who doubted the propriety of these
extensions—who questioned the morality of numbers congre-
gating—who doubted where fidelity to the state could exist in
such multitudes. But he could assure the House that one of
the means of diffusing wealth was the keeping up the springs
of society. Their wealth was that which maintained
their colonial empire—that which had given them the
dominion of the world. Let them remember, too, that if they
wished to disseminate their religion, their libertie-, and their
faith, they could do it in no surer w than by the very manu-
factures that they sent abroad.—(Cheers.) Let them also
recollect that the men who extended these benefits were
entitled to some portion of them. His Noble Friend who had
opened the debate on the first night had, in a most
eloquent address, fully characteristic of himself, stated that
the Conservative party were interested in the security, peace,
and welfare of the Constitution of this country. How much
more then were they dependent, who bad all to lose and nothing
to gain by any interruption to the peace of the country.
Manufacturers had for a long time flourished, not
because they were of the customs growth, but
because they were of the same existence with the country.
He wished to see the agricultural and manufacturing
interests at peace,, joined in an inseperable union. He believed
that the Government wished to cement that union—and he
believed further that when the agriculturists themselves came
properly to appreciate their position, they would be glad of the
chance that had offered of thus extricating themselves.—
( Hear.) He believed that they would now pursue their avocation
without doubt or apprehension, and he believed also that
that prejudice which had before existed between classes would be
swept away. The Government now offered them the oppor-
tunity of repairing the greatest error that was ever committed
by any body of men.—(Cheers.) But the landed proprietors
of this country had also contributed to the burdens of the
State. They had assisted its resources; they had provided
its eminent men in every department. But, however, he
might affirm this, he was willing to admit that the
law of 1815 was a great error.—( Hear, hear, and cheers. )
The Government now wished to repair the error.—(Hear,
hear.) Would they accept it ?—(Cheers. ) His own mind
had been long mule up. He hoped he had now done his duty.
lie believed that the propositions of the Right Hon. Baronet
at the head of the Government were not only intended for the
benefit of the country, but the agriculturists themselves. He
trusted they would throw all prejudices aside—that they would
weigh the question aright; and let them be assured of this,
that these propositions had been made for the good of the coun-
try and for that alone.—( Cheers.)
