" the League." And in the general awakening,
Sir Thomas, too, arouses himself, for what?
To encourage and co-operate with his brother
agriculturists ? Oh, no ; the Baronet starts up
merely to tell them, that though it is wrong to
submit to be ruined outright, they ought lo submit
to be ruined a little; in short, Sir Thomas tries to
break the fall of "the League" (to borrow
his own figure), by receiving the conspira-
tors upon a fixed duty. We have, indeed, no ap-
prehension that a single human being can be
biassed by the advice or example of such a person
as Sir Thomas Lethbridge has shown himself
through a long life. Still less do we apprehend
that such arguments as this can prevail with even the
weakest understanding, but it is well to let the public
know that Sir Thomas is now a Whig and a fixed-
duty man, because from that it may be confidently
inferred what is to be the fate of the fixed duty—as to
the fate of the Whigs, that has been determined long
since. Let the " fixed duty" farmers, if any such
fools there are, be henceforth known as "Lethbridgites,"
and there will be little danger of the sect augment-
ing. Upon the silly address" it would beaunneces-
sary to say more if some had not used it as a
text upon which to raise doubts as to the probable
course of Ministers in the session about to
commence. We have no authority to say
anything upon this point, but we are as
thoroughly convinced as we can be of anything,
that no change whatever in the corn-laws—that no
change of any other law calculated in the slightest
degree to depreciate agricultural property—is in
contemplation. When people say that the Minister
must speak out, they forget, or would try to make
others forget, that Sir Robert Peel has already
spoken out as distinctly as man could speak—
that he has pledged himself to the sliding
scale unaltered for some years and at all times to
the maintenance upon that scale of figures such
as shall insure to those engaged in agriculture a fair
remunerating profit. Perhaps the right honourable
baronet anticipates a time when the corn-laws shall
be a dead letter, removable without injury as a mere
incumbrance. We know that we, ourselves, antici-
pate such a period, the period When the united king-
dom shall become an exporting country as respects
corn, if only the present corn-laws be maintained.
Within the last thirty years agricultural produce has
increased in a higher ratio than population; so that
now they are nearly commensurate. Let this pro-
ceed, and the facilities opening for colonisation ren-
ders the process almost certain, and we shall have a
surplus of agricultural produce to export; but with
such a surplus we suppose that no one would care
much about corn-laws. This is the sense, and this is
the only sense, in which the question of the repeal or
modification of the corn-laws was ever treated by Mi-
nisters as a "mere questions of time." As long as
these laws shall be in any degree necessary, they will
be firmly maintained by a Conservative Adminis-
tration.
