VII.-THE NATIONAL DEBT.

" This debt having been incurred by a class Govern-
ment for class purposes, cannot be considered as legally
contracted by the people.
"It is, moreover, absurd that future generations
should be mortgaged to eternity for the fol►ies or mis-
fortunes of their ancestors, and the debt be thus repaid
several times over.

" The national debt ought, therefore, to be liquidated
by the money now annually paid as interest, applied as
repayment of the capital, until such repayment is corn
pleted.
London, England, 1851-04-25

Vin-CURRENCY.

" The Convention ccnsiders that a change in our cur-
rency laws is absolutely nccessary for the welfare of the
producers of this country, and recommends that the ex-

ecutive committee of thweNational Chartist Association,
by addresses and tracts, direct the attention of the coun-
try to this subject.
" IX.—THE ARMY.
" Standing armies are contrary to the principles of de-
mocracy, and dangerous to the liberties of the people.
At the same time the Convention acknowledges the ex-
pediency of a standing force being maintained until suit-
able changes in our colonies and at home shall have ren-
dered its continuance no longer requisite.
" Until such change, the following enactments are
necessary for the comfort of the soldier and the safety
of the citizen:—
"1. That no enlistment be binding unless renewed
before a magistrate by the person enlisting, after the ex-
piration of a period of one week.
2. That the soldier have a right to a free discharge
at the end of four years.
"3. That the soldier be no longer confined in barracks,
since the isolation of troops estranges them from citizens,
renders them unfit for the duties of domestic life, demo-
ralizes them, and is unnecessary for discipline, as proved
by such discipline not being impaired when troops are
quartered o❑ the inhabitants, which is frequently the
case, both in peace and war•
"4. That troops quartered on the inhabitants be paid
for as lodgers, and that none be compelled to receive

them.
" 5. That promotion take place from the ranks by mi-
litary gradation, and. that none be promoted before, at
least, one year's service to the ranks.
" 6. That promotion by purchase be abolished.
" 7. That the use of the lash be abolished.
"8. That courts-martial consist, in all case,,, of officers
and privates in like proportion.
X.—THE NAVY.

" To bo regulated by analogous laws.
XI.--THE MILITIA.

st As it is the right of every individual to bear arms,
so it is hi* duty to know how to use them; as every citi-
zen ought to receive a benefit at the hands of the State,
so be ought to be prepared to defend it; and, as liberty

" VI.-T A XATION.

Taxation on industry represses the production of
wealth—on luxuries, encourages Governments in foster-
ing excess—on necessary commodities, acts injuriously
on the people's health and comfort.
" All taxation ought, therefore, to be levied on land
and accumulated property.
" VII.—THE NATIONAL DEBT.

" This debt having been incurred by a class Govern-
ment for class purposes, cannot be considered as legally
contracted by the people.
"It is, moreover, absurd that future generations
should be mortgaged to eternity for the follies or mis-
fortunes of their ancestors, and the debt be thus repaid
several times over. _ _ _

The national debt ought, therefore, to be liquidated
by the money now annually paid as interest, applied as
repayment of the capital, until such repayment is com-
pleted.
" V lII.—C URREN CY.
" The Convention considers that a change in our cur-
rency laws is absolutely necessary for the welfare of the
producers of this country, and recommends that the ex-
ecutive committee of the National Chartist Association,
by addresses and tracts, direct the attention of the coun-
try to this subject.
" IX.—THE ARMY.
" Standing armies are contrary to the principles of de-
mocracy, and dangerous to the liberties of the people.
At the same time the Convention acknowledges the ex-
pediency of a standing force being maintained until suit-
able changes in our colonies and at home shall have ren-
dered its continuance no longer requisite.
" Until such change, the following enactments are
necessary for the comfort of the soldier and the safety
of the citizen:—
"1. That no enlistment be binding unless renewed
before a magistrate by the person enlisting, after the ex-
piration of a period of one week.
"2. That the soldier have a right to a free discharge
at the end of four years.
"3. That the soldier be no longer confined in barracks,
since the isolation of troops estranges them from citizens,
renders them unfit for the duties of domestic life, demo-
ralizes them, and is unnecessary for discipline, as proved
by such discipline not being impaired when troops are
the
quartered on the inhabitants, which is frequently
ease, both in peace and war.
"4 That troops quartered on the inhabitants be paid
for as lodgers, and that none be compelled to receive

them.
" 5. That promotion take place from the ranks by mi-
litary
gradation, and that stone be promoted before, at
least, one year's service in the ranks.
" G. That promotion by purchase be abolished.
" 7. That the use of the lash be abolished.
" 8. That courts-martial consist, in all cases, of officers
and privates in like proportion.
"X.—THE NAVY.
" To be regulated by analogous laws.
" XI.--THE MILITIA.
"As it is the right of every individual to bear arms,
so it is his duty to know how to use them; as every
citi-
zen'ought to receive a benefit at the hands of the State,
so he ought to be prepared to defend it; and, as liberty
London, England, 1851-04-25

" IL—THE CHuncil.

" Religion should be free; as spiritual, it ought not to
be subject to temporal control.
" Therefore the Covention recommend—
" 1. Complete separation between Church and State.
" 2. All Church temporalities to be declared national
property, excc-pt such individual endowments as have
been roiuntarily and legally made.
" All ecclesiastical buildings, of which it can be
clearly shown that their cost was defrayed from national
funds, to belong to the State. The persuasion now using
these edifices to continue in the enjoyment of them on
equitable conditions.
" 3. Tithes and church•rates to be abolished.

"4. The State not to interfere with the internal polity
of any church. All ecclesiastics to be appointed in any
way their respective congregations think fit, and to be
paid voluntarily by the congregations that employ their
services.

"5. Ecclesiastical licences for purposes of education
:o be unnecessary.

" III; EDUCATION.

" As every man has a right to the means of physical
life, so has he to the means of mental activity. It is as
unjust to withhold aliment from the mind as it is to deny
food to the body. Education should, therefore, be na-
tional, universal, gratuitous, and, to a certain extent,
compulsory.
" It is, therefore, recommended—
"l. That schools, colleges, and universities, sup-
ported by the State, be gratuitously open to every
citizen, and that it be compulsory with all parents to
have their children educated in the common branches of
learning.
"2. That education in its higher branches be equally
gratuitous, but optional.
"3. That industrial schools be established, in which
the young may be taught the •arious trades and pro
fessions, thus gradually superseding the system of ap
prenticeship.

as the protector of the oppressed; each suffering class
should see in it the redresser of its several wrongs ; it
should be the connecting link that draws together on one
common ground, the now isolated bodies of the working
classes—self-interest being the best tie to bind them to
each other.

" It is, therefore, time that the self- interest of every
one of the oppressed classes be appealed to. Each
one of these classes demands a measure of social re-
form proportioned to its wants—though various, these
requirements are not conflicting—one right can never
contradict another—truth can never antagonise with
truth.

" To stand forth as the uniter of all these isolated,
but, in fact, homogeneous interests—to weld the millions
into one compact mass—to evoke the dormant mind of
the country, and thus to launch the gathered power in
the right direction, is the duty and endeavour of this
delegation of the peoplo.
" The Convention, deeply impressed with this truth,
while keeping Chartism distinct as an organized politi-
cal body, not joining any other section, nor mixing it
with any organization, recommends that public atten-
tion be directed to the following principles; that the
subjoined remedial measures be submitted to the classes
severally interested; that their support of Chartist or.
ganintion be solicited on the ground of these reforms,
and that these be made the subject of continuous and
universal instruction :

MARKET E W S.-(THIS DAY•)

CORN EXCHANGE—FRIDAY.
Coastwise tho arrivals of English Wheat up to our
market, this week, have amounted to 3,030 quarters, but
lie
those by land-carriage have been very moderate. Ourd
market today has been by no means heavily suPP
with samples; nevertheless, owing to the unusually large
imports of foreign Flour-17,880 sacks, and 4 400 bar-
rels, the former from France, the latter from New York
—the demand for all kinds of Wheat of home produce
riled excessively heavy, and, to effect sales, Is. per quarter,.
less money was accepted. Upwards of 8,000 quarters or
foreign Wheat have come fresh to hand. That article wag
very dull in sale, and most kinds were lower to purchase.
Notwithstanding that the supply of Barley was sma ,
i
was quite equal to the demand. In prices, however, 110 a
change took place. Malt, though in short supply, moved
off slow iy-, at late rates. Good sound Oats ruled firm, at
very full currencies, whilst other kinds were quite 55
llt
dear. Beans, Peas, and Indian Corn were unaltered in
value. The Flour trade was very dull, and the quota-
tions tended downwaras.

"L-TDE LAND.

"This Convention believes that the land is the in-
alienable inheritance of all mankind, and that therefore
its present monopoly is repugnant to the laws of God and
nature. The nationalisation of the land is the only true
basis of national prosperity.
" With a view of arr►ving at this ultimatum, it is re-
solved that the following measures be successively urged
upon the public:—
" l. The establishment of a Board of Agriculture.
"2. The restoration of poor, common, church, and
Crown lands to the people.
" Such lands to be divided in suitable proportions.
All persons located upon them to be tenants of the
State, paying a proportionate rentcharge for their
holdings.
" 3. Compensation to out-going tenants for improve-
ments.
" Tenants not to be tied down to any old covenants,
or rotation of crops.

" The repeal of the game laws.
" All ront4 to be commuted into corn-rents. •
" 4. The State to be empowered to purchase land, for
the purpose of locating thereon the population, as tenants,
individually or in association, paying a rentcharge to the
State. The funds for that purpose to arise from the
rentcharge payable on the common, church, poor, and
Crown funds above mentioned, and such other sources as
may hereafter be determined.
" 5. Government purchasing land as above not to be
permitted to sell again, but to hold such lands as na-
tional property for ever, lettir.g them to tenants i❑ such
quantities, and und, r such conditions, as may secure
treedoni to the tenant, and safety to the State.
" 6. The State to have priority of purchase, at fair
current prices.

" 7. To provide for the final and complete nationali-
zation of land, the State to resume possession of the soil
as rapidly as the existing interests can be extinguished
by process of law, by death, by surrender, or by any
means accordant with justice and a generous treatment
of all classes.

The distinctive feature of this Company consists in the sufficiency
of ONE PAYMENT to cover an Assurance for the WHOLE OF
LIFE.
The first is the only expense and trouble, there being no annual re-
newa lof premium.
By granting Assurances to Passengers only, and excluding all
those persons in the employ of Railway Companies or Contractors
among whom the heavier risks occur, the Directors of this Com-
pany are enabled to issue Policies at a lower rate of premium than
is offered by any existing Company.
Upon proof being given that a party assured has met with his
death by railway accident, the Company will pay to his representa-
tives the full amount of his Policy.
If the accident shall result in personal injury only, the Company
will pay to the assured a fair compensation for such injury.
Assurers have the option of travelling in carriages of any class, and
on any railway in the United Kingdom.
The Directors are now granting assurances upon the following
terms, viz. :
For every Policy of 1001. Cl. ss. For every Policy of 1,000/. 21. 2s.

" IV.-LABOUR LAW.

" Labour is the creator of a nation's wealth—as such
the most important element of its prosperity. Notwith-
standing this, the relation of master and man has been
repugnant to the well-being of society; the creator has
hitherto been the servant of the creature; labour has
been the slave of capital, and groaned under a system of
wages slavery, contrary to every principle of freedom.
" To elevate labour from its present depressed condi-
tion the following measures are proposed, with a view to
the more rapid abrogation of wages slavery, and the de-
velopment of the co-operative principle:—
" 1. That all co-operative associations for industrial
purposes have a right to registration and enrolment with-
out payment of fees, and to possess an unrestricted num-
ber of affiliated branches.

"2. That the law of partnership be so altered as to
remove existing difficulties in the way of association.
" 3. That since the co-operative principle is essential
for the well-being of the people, since the centralisation
of wealth ought to be counteracted by a distributive
tendency, and since its accumulation in the hands of
isolated clubs is an evil secondary only to that of its
monopoly by individuals, all future co-operative attempts,
until the complete re-adjustment of the labour question,
be modelled on a national basis, and connected in a na-
tional union, of which the different trades and societies
be localities or branches; and that the profits, beyond a
certain amount, of each local society, should be paid into
a general fund, for the purpose of forming additional
associations of working men, and thus accelerating the
development of associated and independent labour.
"4. That a credit-fund be opened by the State, for
the purpose of advancing money, on certain conditions,
to bodies of working men, desirous of associating to-
gether for industrial purposes.
"V.—Poon LAW.

"As it is the duty of every man to work, so every
man has the right to the means of work; and those un-
able to work through infirmity or age have a right to
support at the hands of the State.

"*Therefore,
" 1. All ablebodied persons who cannot support them-
selves should be supplied with remunerative work, and,
where possible, located on the land.
" 2. Where the State cannot find work for the unem-
ployed, it is bound to support them until labour is pro-
vided.
"3. The unemployed should be supported by the
State, not by the parish—and the cost be defrayed eut
of the national revenues.
" 4. The aged and infirm should be supported in their
own homes, in the houses of their relatives, or in special
buildings erEcted by Government, at the option of the
recipients.
