THE SUN,

Taylor, or he would not, I feel assured, speak of him
in the depreciating terms which he does. I respect
Mr. Taylor as a man of talent, research, and
originality, and as having for many years moat dis-
interestedly laboured in this cause, but my respect
for him is increased by his total want of any petty
jealousy or unwillingness to accord to any one the
fair share of merit due to him for his
exertions in the cause. He has written so much,
so long, and so well on the currency, that he can
well afford to allow full credit to every currency re-
former.—(Hear, hear.) In a letter which I lately
received from Mr. Taylor, he says,—" I would let
all the world claim and get the merit of the plan of
currency, if the Legislature would but adopt its
provisions, and it is one sign of the hopefulness of our
cause when men begin to claim a participation or
priority in the announcement of the proposed system
1
of money. With me the first idea was sketchedin
the pamphlet published in 1821, entitled The
Restoration of National Prosperity shown to be
immediately Practical.' I wrote and published a
more detailed pl In, in the London Magazine, about
1823, 1824, and repeated it, with illustrations, in all
my pamphlets, in 1832, 1833, 1836, &c." What-
ever system of paper money the Legislature
may ultimately adopt, Mr. Taylor's "Essays on
Money," and on the " Standard and Measure
of Value," as well as other works. will always
command high estimation from every one who philo-
sophically studies the theory of monetary science.—
(Cheers.) And now, gentlemen, I will not detain
you any longer, and I beg to thank you for your
kind attention. It is impossible to look at the future
of England without many anxious forebodings. We
see at this time great manufacturing activity and great
agricultural depression. We see the various classes
of society opposed to each other ; and, above all, we
have an increased and increasing population, requiring
every day the devotion of increased means to educate,
to employ, and to support them. But if we be true
to ourselves we need not despond. There was a time
when the world, with a man who then appeared to
be the world's master (Napoleon), was opposed to
us, when our financial, social, and political difficulties
were many and great, and dark clouds hung heavily
over our country's destinies. What then enabled
England to weather the storm ? We had a skilful
and resolute pilot at the helm. But whence came
the means to man the ship? The common sense of
the English :people, making use of their powerful
agent, representative paper money, as Mr. Alison, the
historian of the French Revolution says, saved the
country. The same agent is as powerful in peace as
it was in war; only let our monetary system be re-
vised and we shall see England rising triumphantly
over all her difficulties, and diffusing throughout the
world the peaceful blessings of commerce, civilization,
and Christianity.—(Universal applause.) Before I
sit down I beg leave to propose for the office of joint
secretary of this society a gentleman, the son of one
of the oldest, most respected, successful, and intelli-
gent agriculturists of this county, for whom I have
the greatest respect, and who will, I feel assured, fill
the office with equal credit to himself and advantage
to the society, Mr. Enoch Hedgkinson —(Applause.)
Mr. ROBERT BARER seconded this resolution,
which was supported by Mr. W. Wilkinson (the se-
cretary), who cordially agreed in the proposition, and
was carried unanimously. He then proposed, and Mr.
Johnson seconded, a vote of thanks to Mr. T wells,
which was passed unanimously, and he having re-
turned thanks, the meeting broke up.
