TO TIIE SECRETARY OF THE
BRADFORD REFORNI ASSOCIATION.

Sir,—On Monday the 11th, was the great debate
on Supply. The line for a Liberal Member to take,
who has himself no charge in determining the expen-
diture asked for, appears to be to vote always with
those who propose the least. Title may look para-
doxical, and may be contested. But the question is,
whether in so doing he is not really strengthening
the weight of that force, the apprehension of
which was what substantially held the Go-
vernment
i
vernment to such degree of economy as t
determines to adopt. A Member in the ,situa-
tion described, has no means of knowing whether a
thousand men are wanted here or are wanted there ;
but he has it in his power to give a vote to that
phalanx of opponents of expenditure, which obliges
the Government to exert itself to discover the means
of doing with the smallest number of thousands it
can bring itself to think of.
Oo Tuesday came on Me. Drummoncl'a motion for
the reduction of taxation. It was in all circumstances
a repetition of the same motion by the same Member
on u former occasion ; on which I recollect incurring,
what I will call the non-concurrence of some of the
constituency, by not supporting him 'by my vete.
If Ithe mover had moved alone, there might

have been some difficulty in deciding now.
what was to be done, when his seconder
rose, in the person of an agricultural Mem-
ber who made himself conspicuous in the
earlier part of the contest on the Corn-laws by de-
claring with energetic simplicity the price which
he wished the Legislature to secure to cheese ;
and told the House that the end and object of
the motion which he seconded, was to raise
the price of corn ;—that this at least was
the light in which he viewed it, or thought it worth
speaking on, and therefore he begged, Hon. Members
to vote for the motion because it held out the reduc-
tion of taxation, always remembering that raising the
price of corn was what he came there to state was
the undisguised object of the movement ?
Towards the conclusion of the debate, a Member
improved on this, by stating that his view of the
motion was, that it was to obtain a five shillings duty
on foreign corn. And the mover, in his final reply,
taunted such of the Free traders as should vote against
his motion, as men who wanted to keep the present
Government in office, and of course keep out the Pro-
tectionists who want to take their place. Whatever
was wanting, it was not explanation of the general
bearing of the views of the supporters of the motion.
At one o'clock in the morning, they will not reduce
a single soldier. By six in the afternoon they are all
for a vote for economy, which they plainly tell us is
meant to bring in a Protectionist Government and
put a five shillings duty on foreign torte
Surely in vain is the net spread in the sight of any
bird ; and it must have been an ez trt .ordinary fowl
that put its head into a snare of this kir id, after such
open notice of the substantial object. .Fancy, for in-
stance, a Member fur Bradford saying, "I will vote
for this motion, which you tell me is to pro-
mote the raising the price of co:en. Bradford
is recovering from long depressic in, like the
man a surgical operation has relieved from a pres-
suretbeluoinu r
