, who spoke as if " he came to t,
04
e.'....c.ontinued laughter) —that 10,1;t;;7-4,
meat has been conducted on premises that\
Le. It has been too much assumed All
-xcluded by the present franehis&
,'open le door, as if the door had been kept rjradly irked 6
and barred against them. But is that the case? TiipprelOnd
that in all the metropolitan boroughs artisans must form a
considerable part of the constituency. In fact, if your re-
turns are correct, and we must prefer them to the calcula-
tions of the member for Marylebone, it is clear that the main
reason why artisans living in £6 houses do not add largely
to the metropolitan constituencies must be became a large
number of artisans in metropolitan constituencies live in £lO
houses. But, take any borough, any county—have not all
and each of us several working men among our constituents?
The working classes are, therefore, admitted at present..
The door is not locked. You say admit more, many more ;
open the door much wider. Very well, do so : but, since you
cannot admit them all, do let us' try and establish some
better test than that of a certain amount of poverty.
(Cheers.) Do Rot lower your franchise upon the express
principle of admitting the poor solely and wholly because
they are poor. (Cheers.) The member for Halifax, in a speech
of much promise, and in the excellent taste of a gentleman
who can unite ardour for a cause with courtesy to opponents,
said " The best test of fitness for the franchise is the desire
to possess the franchise." Let him reflect fir a moment, and
he is too good a logician not to see that his position is un-
tenable. Desire is no proof of fitness. We all desire to be
rich—is that any proof that we deserve riches? We all de-
sire to be strong, healthy, and wise, and how few of us take
the smallest pains to be strong, healthy, or wise I (Laughter
and cheers.) We must have, then, a better test than desire.
In our bill we, the late Government, sought to take that
simplest test by which the human being vindicates his claim
to reason—l mean the habit of frugality and forethought for
the morrow in the man who lives by the labour of the day.
We thus did expand the franchise to the working class, not
by regarding them as the mere symbols of four crazy walls,
but in proportion—l do not say as they had a stake in the
country, for every man, woman, and child just born has a
stake in his native country, but in proportion as theyshowed
they were sensible of that stake, and had by the mere exer-
cise of a virtue most useful to themselves—the mere prin-
ciple of saving for the uncertain morrow—entered into the
class of proprietors, and had become participators in that
prudent regard for order which is the safeguard of property
and the main distinction between liberty, which is always
thoughtfal, and licence, which is always reckless. (Cheers.)
- You dismiss these at tompt s of ours to modify, refine, and exalt
a mere popular franchise, dismiss them without one effort of
your own to improve them—and I believe they could be
greatly improved and enlarged by a Government in whom re-
formers had confidence, and whom this house honoured with
a majority ; you dismiss not only our notions, but all the
theories and all the warnings of your own ablest writers,
and you, who came into power upon the presumption of
superior capabilities for a comprehensive scheme, you 'con-
tent yourselves with what ?—rudely creating an additional
constituency upon the express and sole principle that it is
to be poorer and less intelligent than the present, without
a single franchise of a higher nature ; and you make that
addition so numerous that in most of those large towns
which are the centres of energy, which the member for

Rochdale once told us " govern England," it is that poorer
and less intelligent class that must take the lion's share of
political power. (Cheers.) And when we are told by the
hon. member for Birmingham and the hon. member for
Leeds that a£6 franchise is not so rigidly confined to the
working class, but that there are several £6 occupiers who
are not actually working men, I say that in no way touches
our objection. They are equally men subjected to the con-
ditions of poverty and passion ; and though we are willing
to admit poverty and passion into the franchise, we are not
willing to give them the lion's share of political power over
capital and knowledge. (Cheers.) And I say this not as
against the representation of the working or the poorer
classes, but on behalf of their genuine and true representa-
tion; for if you reflect a moment you will own that their
true representation must be more or less perfect in propor-
tion to the knowledge which may exist in this house of the
inseparable connection between their interests and all our
legislative functions. The Chancellor of the Exchequer,
in a speech which, whatever we may think of the budget it
introduced, will remain among the monuments of English
eloquence as long as the language lasts, told us truly that
" the interest of the working man was consulted less by
our cheapening the articles he consumes, than by our
stimulating the trade which gives him wages and employ-
ment." I advance upon that argument, and I say, there-
fore, that the true representative of the working man is in
every wise legislator who stimulates trade, who strength-
ens credit, who exalts the standard of society, in which
the working man rises with every step that raises the
common interest of us all. (Hear, hear.) I say that he has
a true representative in every profound lawyer who renders
justice more accessible; in every enlightened philanthro-
pist, who ameliorates the conditien of humanity; nay, in
every naval or military officer whose professional science
suggests sounder defences, not only for the land we inhabit,
but for the protection of the commerce which employs the
millions, and which rises or falls with the honour of the
flag that is only the safeguard of our wealth, because it is
the symbol of our power. (Cheers.) But, are these the kind
of representative-s the working classes would generally pre-
fer if they were the great majority of electors ? I say boldly,
No. (Hear.) For even in America, where education is far
more equally diffused than it is with us, it is the common
complaint that such aro not the kind of representatives they
prefer. Just hear what is said on that score by an Ameri-
can addressing his fellow citizens—not a political malcon-
tent declaiming on a popular hustings, but a man of high
education (Mr. Doherty), calmly addressing the literary
societies of Lafayette College, and the title of his lecture is
" Fears for the future of the Republic." After stating, as
a well-known fact, that the more respectable citizens even
of the commercial and industrial classes will tell you that
they " scorn to mix in politics, their time can be better
employed," he goes on to say, " Thus, the vast machinery
of this huge republic in all its departments is fer the most
part left to the control of bands of men who make politics a
trade—men who laugh at integrity, are insensible to patriot-
ism,
are regardless of intellect, who hate the man who tells
the truth and will not cringe to them, and love the one who
lowest bends, yet cheats them in the end. Surely it is of
vital importance to the wellbeing of a State that its Legis-
lature reflect the wishes of the people ; yet there are those
who legislate for the different States of the Amer ican Con-
federacy who aro unable to read, much less to frame a sta-
tute; who know nothing of our past history, present wants,
or future prospects; who are ignorant of the constitution,.
and would not dare to fill the humblest of clerkships, yet
occupy seats in legislative halls. But their ignorance is
their least fault. Corruption swarms around each
Capitol, daring the gaze and defying the power of out-
raged constituencies ; legislation is bought and sold. Within
a year it has come to light that in one of the vigorous
States of the West the majority of the Legislature, with
many of the State officers, in violation of their oaths and of
honour, were purchased each for a given price. Better feink
us and for our posterity, better for our peace at home, our
character abroad, that the Legislature of Peenesylvania
should meet but once in 10 years than that the State should
be disgraced by such representatives and dishonoured by
such laws." (Cheers.) Yet those are the sort of repre-
sentatives whom the majority of the working classes elect,
uninfluenced by that aristocracy to whom the hon. member
for Birmingham ascribes all the evils we endure. (Hear.)
So much for America. Now • look to England. Let me
ask who in our time has been the man who has had the
largest share of the especial confidence of the working
classes? Not the hon. member for Birmingham--(hear,
hear)—but Mr. Feargus O'Connor. (Hear, hear.). Aud is
there any member present who would say that at. this mo-
ment the interests of the working classes arc not. better re-
presented in this house by such gentlemen as I have de •
scribed, and whom we may recognise wherever, we turn our
eyes, than they would be if they could turn reds heuse into
a synagogue of Feargus O' Connors ? (Laughter and
cheers.) But this bill is to amend the representation. How
will it do that ? Will it make the House of Commons
wiser ? Will it make our councils more enlightened ? Will
it increase the knowledge, the integrity, elee pecuniary in-
dependence, and the mental discipline without which we
should have no strength in public opin.'ron if we ever had to
protect our freedom against an able tyrant and a standing
army ? We read in that masterly contribution to our his-
tory whith Mr. Forster has just published that when
Charles I. attempted illegally to seize five members of this
house all London rang with cries of " Parliament!" " Pri-
vilege 1" and why ? Because at that moment this house
represented property, station, and knowledge, as well as
patriotism and valour, and, therefore, it had strength in
public opinion. But a few years later Cromwell expelled
all the members and locked up the hortse itself; and there
were then no cries of "Parliamentary privileges 1" (Hear,
hear.) There was scarcely a murmur heard out of doors.
Why was that ? Because the house was but a Rump Par-
liament. It had ceased to reseresent property, station, and
knowledge; and, therefore, it had no strength in public
opinion, though ita larg:e majority were stanch Reformers_
nay, they were acturelly discussing a new Reform Bill, not
very different freed that of the hon. member for Binning-
bum, at the vciry moment whin Cromwell and his 'pikemen
entered. (Laughter, and hear, hear.) Is there any gen-
tleman here who will tell us ho expects to return to Parlia-
ment a wiser man—a sadder man, perhaps, he may be—
when he knows he has ceased to represent property, station,
and knowledge, and has become the delegate of the poorest
householder in the borough he represents. (Hear, hear.)
But how will this measure improve the constituent body .?
When that question was asked in the debates on the great
Reform Bill, the answer of the reformers was crushing. Yon
then got rid of the boroughmonger, who sold his borough,
and the potwalloper, who sold his vote ; and your substitute,
were trade, commerce, manufactures—that combination of
various interests whick is found in the middle ranks of so-
ciety, which cannot be called a class, because it contains all
classes, from the educated gentleman to the skilled artisan
(hear, hear)—and which) therefore, does represent a high.
--
average of the common sense of the common interest.
(Cheers.) You then did not merely extend the franchise.
To use the words, I think, of the late Lord Grey, " you
purified, you exalted the constituency." (Hear, hear.)
But when you are asked, " How does the little Reform Bil I
purify and exalt the cop..stituency," what will youlanswer ?
