THE PRESENT DISTRESS IN TRADE
fully explained in J. GROSSMITH'S
" GOVERNMENT UPON FIRST PRINCIPLES."
The cause is there predicated of the monetary difficulties ex
perienced in 1860. The Crisis is at hand. Anxiety in bus
ness has now become the grim torture. Purity of motive,
intelligently exercised, must animate all Governments, or all
is lost, All denominations of Constitutions are carefully
examined in J. Grossmith's "Government upon First Prin-
ciples."

Disease, as also to free these questions from the Professional
Fallacies, the Popular Delusions, and the exaggerations of
Quackery by which they have hitherto been surrounded, to the

TMPORTANT TO OWNERS OF HORSES 4-
After long experience, deep researches into chymistry,
by the aid of costly machinery, I have discovered the means
whereby oats, beans, and oilcake may be entirely dispensed
with in the feeding of horses and cattle. I have now invented
a compound meal, composed of locust beans, Indian corn,
linseed, &c., at £l6 per ton, which is equal in value to £24
worth of oats, beans, or any other feeding material in the
market. Two quarts of this compound meal, weighing 31bs.,
at the cost of 5d., mixed with a peck of chopped hay, is a feed
for a draught horse, and superior in every respect to three
quarterns of oats, costing 70. 14 barrels weigh net 1 ton 1
cwt., at his, per cwt., £l6 16s. net cash, free, delivered by my

has long been snapped—was indeed broken the

know nothing of each other when out of their pews.

could we answer ? When we are asked, " Where
is thy brother ?" do we not retort, "Am I my
brother's keeper ?" The estrangement of classes is
the penalty we pay for the multitudinous life of our
overgrown kingdom. We know nothing of, care
nothing for, each other. We are a fortuitons con-
course of atoms. Even the ancient friendships of
families of the same class are all worn out. Those
kindly and familiar intimacies which rendered the
members of contiguous households faithful, loving
and devoted to each other's happiness, have disap-
peared. Steam, rail, emigration, commerce, colonisa-
tion, official duty, facilities of travel, break up neigh-
bourhoods before friendship can take root. Even
the railway that facilitates • communication encou-
rages dispersion, induces even isolation. Men rush
to some congested centre to gather money, and bear
it back to their homes and families in the fastnesses
of the country. Society is a Babel, and life a con-
fused dream. For the local poor we have a Union
workhouse, for orphan children we have Ragged
Schools, for neglected and vicious offspring of
vicious parents we have Reformatories, into which,
even, none can enter until they have qualified by
crime.

In Judea the people were divided into tribes of
kindred. In Sparta the commonwealth at large
provided for and took possession of all the-children
of the State. In Athens each citizen was familiarly
known to every other. In Rome the same super-
vision existed during the era of the Republic. We
have no similar mechanism whatever. Long ago,
in England, a masterless slave was hanged as
dangerous to society. Now, we allow the dissolute
to rove about without visible means, and have
ceased to commit them as rogues and vagabonds.
We are beginning to see that this system will no
longer do, and these " Waust improvements Maum,"
as Cobbett called the " progress of the age," are
anything but changes for the better. Laissez-faire,
a sound principle in political, is fallacious when
applied to social economics. To leave children, the
ignorant or the depraved, alone, is simply to hand
them over to the Devil. We have too long con-
demned ourselves to imprisonment in an enchanted
castle of formulas. We are like the cock in the
centre of a mere linear circle of chalk, which is
incarcerated by the simple fancy that he cannot fly
over it. The " liberty of the subject is a dogma
that has taken such fist hold of us that we mistake
it for the polemical doctrine of the freedom of the
I will; and decline to arm society with any effec-
tive preventive or radically anticipatory remedial
power over vice and crime. All our social econo-
mics are upon an imperial scale, centralising and
massing what should be disintegrated and paro-
cbialised. When Mrs. Warren was complimented
on the lyrics illustrative of her husband's blacking,
she explained, " We keeps a poet as does them there
things." We do not personally reform our neigh-
bourhood ; we pay somebody else to do it. There
is no bond between ourselves and our poorer neigh-
bours, but a town missionary, a Bible reader, the
relieving officer, or the constable. Our charity is
vicarious, and our sympathy by deputy. If
Lazarus at our gate be starving, there is the union ;
if sick, the hospital ; if his children be city Arabs
qualifying for the gallows, there is the ragged
school, if they can be weared into it before they can
effect a stampede ; if he be frail under the solici-
tations of temptation there is policeman A, through
whom, for the first time, we make his acquaintance,
committing him for a month, harrying his nest,
rifling his home, stamping the whole family with
infamy, and making him for ever a broken man
a social Ishmaelite.

It is at least a sign that may warrant hopefulness,
that society begins to open its eyes to the magni-
tude of the evil to be redressed. One principle at
all events now commands general acknowledgment
—that prevention is better than cure—that the cure
but aggravates the evil—that the real way to
improve the world is not to frighten men from
getting worse but to train them up to be better—
not to hope to arrest iniquity by compulsion, but
rather to encourage virtue by persuasion, sympathy
and example ; and it will be worth while at greater
length to examine the method by which our social
reformers set about the business of impressing their
their " New Views of Society" upon the legislative
and executive functions of the country.
