SIR CHARLES IVOLSELEI, IN
RE PLY
TO THE EDI 1011 OF THE SUN.
Strt,—The Sun of the 30th December has been this dap
sent to me. It contains an article on a certain letter
dreSsed to the a orking classes in the manufacturing distnctE
through the Stockport Advertiser. Had there not been soTs:,
thing pithy in my letter you would not have noticed 4;4
fore I had meddled with it, had I been the editor of The 'l'
I would lowe been sure of my facts. that
You as Sir, and you get into an argument ono_
Iv
as-urnption the' Earl Talbot " has no labourers!"
some that the Earl's " personal exertions" are not brotif-_,
into action, to-cause fe-sooth he lets his estate, and des
not cultivate himself " You assert " that the Earl is 3 "Le'r,
aria among landlords, as he must pay his tenants' lab°lll.,of
in the cultivation of Hs states, because he can have 'l,lO-09,
his own;" oral, to finish with assumptions and asst,ep"eperie

assumptioil or assertions has even a semblance of WI

Lord Talbot and Mr. Cobden, " as the iespective reP; of
tives thel ended and trading interest., for the purrtely
instituting a comparison between them;" for,'unfortna'bet
for all your assumptions, Lord Talbot is certainly th, end in
farmer, and one of the most extensive cultivators of '4'. and
all England, employs an immense number of labourer!:
le
farms in the first-rate style; and as to his LordshiPhs.,it

the back ground even when compared to Mr. Cobden' in iba

I thank you for having given me, at any rate, a Par, Barn'
titles; but why not have added " the matter-of-fact boa
net ?" and I think by the time the public bas read the stet of
they will have found out that a little more of `211,,,t
fact" from The Sun would have given greater effect

article.

ow, Sir, allow me to repeat my advice to the MO- sp
ing workmen. I did not "guess" that Mr. CobdenVonosa
is 5,0001.; I gun sed it was so. Mav I ask V, I out of " roa
blood and sweat do the other "ten times that anountibirr

bargain. Let us only have fair play, and the
