You see, then, not only from the arguments which
have been used, but froth the facts and figures,
that this fair-weather measure, the Bank Charter
Act, has, on two separate occasions—when its
true object, "the effectual maintenance of specie
payments," has been teste'emt has most com-
pletely and most disgracefully failed. (Loud
cheers.) You cannot possibly convert the
enormous indebtedness of this great nation
into gold. The convertibility of the mate at a
fixed rate has been demonstrated to be a mere
political fiction. But there is another, and a novel
aspect, under which this question has recently been
presented to the public. The Times, the organ of
the bulliouist party, charges the whole of the
people of-England with dishonesty. "Any man,"
it says, "who comes under an engagement to pay a
certain sum on a certain given day plecbies himself
to deliver so many sovereign.. No doubt," it says,
" had not the Government letter appeared on
Thursday money would have been worth 201. to
301. rer cent. owing to the general panic which
would have been created," while we are subse-
quently told " the hard calculator sees the time at
hand where the gold he has prudently reserved will
be worth 15 per cent. The Government steps in
to frustrate the results of his patient enquiry and
reflection." This is the true way of putting the
case. Lord Overstone said in 1844, that the
object of the bill was the effectual maintenance of
specie payments, Sir Robert Peel declared that
one of its principal objects was to prevent the
repetition of such panics as had occurred in 1825,
1837, and 1839, and preserve us from commercial
depression and ruin. But in 1857, the long worn
mask is at length thrown off and the usurer stae 1

not the maintenance of specie payments but
such a maintenance of specie payments as may com-
mand an usurious rate of interest which they
may require.
and cheers). And not
only so, lint the
(ea,
ielard" calculator," we are told,
expected that he should be able also "to b
buy
silk, ;eel all sorts of ar vast
ticles at a reduction."
But his expectations have been sugar,
disappointed,
isippoiuted
" thanks to Government." The producer (he says)
ought as a matter of course to be sacrificed to the
consumer. Put the case of the farmer. A farmer
in prosferous tittles commonly makes the land his
bank.
Whatever capital he can by persevering in-
dustry, and the results of " patient inquiry and re-
flection," zecutnulate he invests in the improve-
ment cf his land in better management, better
cultivation of the sell and improvement of his stock,
and he naturally exrects it w insecure tohitn the quiet
possession of the fruits of his industry. But how
mistaken is his calculation. Tuere has been ano-
ther man at work ;—this is the " hard calculator."
He has improved his acquaintance with Peel's
bill, and cultivated au acquaintance with the opera-
tions of the money market. A monetary crisis
comes. Gold goes out of the country, the bank

raises its discount and reduces its circulation, and
the prices of all things are depreciated. And thus
the farmer is deprived for years of the fair relieve-
ration for all his industry, and of the interest of the
capital which he has invested in his land. The same
thing applies to the manufacturer, for he has been
building new mills, enlarging his works, expending
his trade and employing more hands. Peel's bill puts
a stop to all this ; and when the farmer and the
manufacturer are suffering, and all the country
with them, and Government, at the eleventh hour,
steps in to save the country from utter ruin, the
usurer complains that prices are not suffered to fall
still lower, that he (the consumer) is defrauded of
wheat at 30e. a quarter, and all other things in pro-
portion, and that he cannot get his 201. or 301. per
cent. according to his calculation. (Applause..) Ig
there among these writers in the Times one word of
heartfelt regret, any relenting for all the anguish
and privations, the broken fortunes and the broken
hearts, which this Bank Charter Act is at this wee
merit causing ? Do they say anything of the dis-
tress and poverty of the people, thrown by thousands
and tens of thousands out of work without any
fault of their own ? Have they shown the least
feeling of commiseration for the working-men bY
whose humble firesides suffering, poverty, destitu-
tion, and starvation, are taking up their winters
abode ? No ! "Isit so nominated in the bond?"
Is there one feeling of pity for the victims of this
iniquitous system ? No, not one. The whole
tenor of their writing is—Perish the people
of England ! but letthe bard calculator" grasp
his 15 per cent. (Loud and continued cheering.)
How very far different is the feeling of an excellent
and attached friend of mine—Mr. John Taylor, Of
London, whose calculations have always been for
others and not for himself, and who has for maul
long years been the disinterested advocate of this
unpopular, but great question. In a paper which
I received from him this morning he places the
question between the producer and consumer in a
remarkably lucid point of view. -He says, "Oh eaP-
ness has been cried up as a blessing to the labourer ;
yet it is difficult to conceive how any one could
think that the labourer would be benefitted by low
prices. A moment's reflection- would have served
to undeceive him. A poor „man produces OW
five times as much as he consumes ; a rich man
consumes (say) five times as much as he produces.
Low prices, therefore, are in favour of the rich
consumer as five to one, and high prices are in
favour of the poor producer as five to one. These
numbers are used by way of illustration ; it is im-
material what the real proportions are ; every one
who lives by his labour, every one who produces
snore than he consumes is benefitted by high prices
more than by low. Every one who lives on his
property, every one who consumes more than he
produces is benefitted by low prices more than bY
kigh. Yet there are many persons professing to be
friends of the labourer who gravely try to
persuade hirer that low prices are for his
especial advantage. Having forced down prices bi
the Currency Acts of 1819 and 1844, -they wish the
people to believe that low prices are preferable t°
high prices." This seems to put the question be-
tween the producer and the consumer in a veil'
clear point of view. With regard to over-specula;
tion : when there was an extraordinary influx by
gold to the Bank, the English people were told
the bullionist organ that they were afraid to launch
out into a courageous spirit of enterprise e. when
they do so launch out, they are accused of ever-
speculation. The Acts of which we complain cog'
pel the Bank of England to purchase gold, however
large the amount of it in their coffers may be.
When they had 20,000,0001. of gold they were
obliged to give their notes in exchange for any
amount of gold that might be brought to them'
The effect of this,
is that the circulating media l •
being largely increased, money made plentiful, an
the rate of interest reduced to 1i or 2 per cent'
the greatest temptation is held out to people to elk"
gage in various kinds of speculation, because the
"routine system of business" then produced no
adequate remuneration. Now the Times de-
nounces this " courageous spirit of enter-
prise." Let it nut be supposed, however,- alat'
the virtuous indignation which the organ of the
bullionist party so vehemently hurls against ill-
conducted banks and insolvent merchants arises
solely from the wish to condemn such misconduct.
It was because the drain of bullion to Scotland was
r the last straw which broke the back of bullionisna
that our friends of the Times go into such a rage.
And how many have failed at this period, against
whom the slightest imputation, even of want of
prudence, cannot be justly brought, and who have
fallen victims to this pernicious system of currency.
Do you suppose that such a firm as Naylor, Vickers
and Co., of Sheffield, who, even now, in the midst
of depreciation and ruin, are able to produce assets
of more than a quarter of a million of money be-
yond their liabilities, would have failed under a
sound monetary system ? Take, again, the case of
Dennistoun and Co., who failed the other day.
We Gee that they arc already reeking arrangemen"
to pay 20s. in the pound. (Hear, hear.) These
are remarkable instances, and the Times is cunning,
enough to make these exceptions to their rule of
condemnation of the unfortunate victims of the ;none-
tary system by which many others of equal honesty!.
but lessextensive resources, have been ruined. 'I wiLl
now go to the remedy we have to propose, which is
embodied in the petition which I have the honour

secured by an adequate and unfluctuating circula-

export of bullion, you may be able to retain aehoneo
for domestic purposes. This state of things is to be
maintained by the proposed remedy. But I know
a great deal will be said by giving up the principle
of convertibility. It has been proved to demonstra-
tion on the occasions of 1847 and 1857 that the con-

petition is one by which we can always convert the

and into everything else. - If I want koldnr silver to

lery, I could, under the proposed system, go to the
Bank and convert them into bullion at the market
price of the day. I have, after all, no wish to
dogmatise in this difficult question, but I believe
that this is the only convertibility which, wider
the existing circumstances of the nation, is either
attainable or desirable. (Hear.) Sir, it was said
