MEDICAL LEGISLATORS AND OTHERS
ARE RESPONSIBLE TO GOD.—THE MEDICAL,
QUESTION NOW BEFORE PARLIAMENT.
The following is a list of persons responsible to God for perpSill.
Ming a false medical theory, viz. (the organic) upon mankind, 111.
order to prop or support a particular class of men
Ist.—All Judges.
2nd.—Members of Parliament.
3rd.—All persons subscribing to the erection or support of hOlipf-
tals or infirmaries where diseases are treated upon a false and inte-
rested theory.

4th.—All -persons of rank, and others making speeches at public
meetings in support of such hospitals.
oth.—All Editors of newspapers who, for profit, insert articles in
their newspapers tending to perpetuate such false theory upon man-
kind.
6th.—All Doctors, SUrgeons, and others, who for profit, directly or
indirectly, follow or support a theory which they knew to be false.
Inasmuch that the truth can be ascertained in medicine by pod.
tive proof, tygoists consider that the before-named persons cannot,
in the eyes of God, plead ignorance as an excuse. Medicine de-
cidedly differs in this respect from religion. The upholders of a false
and interested medical theory are clearly guilty of a great crime.
1-lygeists contend that there is but one disease, viz. impurity of the
blood, and therefore only one treatment, viz. proper vegetable_ purg-
ation. As to medical diplomas, they absolutely prove nothing—on
the contrary, they operate as licences to kill with impunity, and to
make a trade of advice. Such being the fact, who can wonder at
the scenes which take place in the House of Commons upon this
question. Doctors wish to make a trade of diseases, but this we tell
them they will never effect.

THE CURRENCY AND THE ANTI.
CORN-LAW LEAGUE.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Office of the Society for the Emancipation of
Industry, 15, Exeter-hall, May 10,1845.
SIRS I request the favour of your giving insertion in
your columns to the accompanying correspondence
between the Committee of the Society for the Emanci-
pation of Industry and the Council of the Anti-Corn-
law League.
The object of the Society will be obvious, namely, the
development of the truth on an all-important social ques-
tion, entering as it does most certainly into the consi-
deration severally of " Free-trade" and " Protection,"
now so much discussed within and 'without the walls of
Parliament.
As the Council of the Anti-Corn-law League have
shown themselves either unable or unwilling to justify a
principle to which they are publicly pledged, the Com-
mittee of the Society for the Emancipation of Industry,
after waiting more than a month without receiving the
requested communication, have determined, with your
permission, to give publicity to the correspondence
through the medium of your paper.
In taking this step, the Committee of the Society are
making another attempt to point out the true and only
means of alleviating the distress acknowledged on all
hands to prevail among the labouring classes, and to ex-
pose the fallacious character of the system of currency
now existing in England—a system which, in its exten-
sion as proposed to Scotland and Ireland, modified even
as it is by the abandonment of an important feature,
will but aggravate the misery of the industrious popula-
tion, and accelerate the ruin which, as a consequence of
the Monetary Bill of 1819, and its " complement " of
' 1844, impends over the whole British empire.—l have
the honour to remain, Sir, your obedient servant,
ANDREW SPOTTISWOODE, Chairman.

(viz., those of perfectly free trade w
and the public and Parliamentary votes of some of the
League, with reference to one
particular commodity, "
old," the Committee of the
Society for the Emancipation of Industry request to be
g
principal members of the
d with answers to the following questions, viz.:—
First, Is
the e the
commodity Anti-Corn Law League prepared to ad-
mitfaroure that
"gold" ought to be subjected Ito
the law of supply and demand, and all the consequences
of that law, as well as cotton, iron, or any other com-
Itodiety "n
com-
modity?
Second, If so, is the League prepared to maintain that
when the Legislature select COLD as the money of the
country, it should, as cow, be exempt from that law of
supply and demand to which it is so admitted the mer-
chantable metal ought to be subject? ,
I am requested by the Committee of the Society to
ask the favour of an early reply to this communication,
and I have the honour to be, Sir,
Your most obedient servant,

National Anti-Corn-Law League, 67, Fleet-street,
London, February 28, 1845.
Sir, I beg to acknowledge the receipt of your favour
of the 18th inst., and I am directed to refer you for a
solution of the questions you have proposed to the ac-
knowledged authorities on political economy, as the
Council are not desirous to enter into controversy on
such points.—l am, Sir, your obedient servant,
Andrew Spottiswoode , Es. A. L. SAUL.

Office of the Society for the Emancipation of
Industry, 15, Exeter Hall, March 3, 1845.
Gentlemen,--I am requested by the Committee of
the Society for the Emancipation of Industry to ac-
knowledge the receipt of the reply of the Council of the
Anti-Corn-law League, through Mr. A. L. Saul, to the
communication made to them on the 18th of last month.
As the Council of the League and their lecturers have
placed themselves prominently forward as public in-
structors and interpreters of the effects of free trade on
prices and the wages of labour, the Committee of the
Society, as part of that public, felt themselves justified
with all courtesy in asking a reply to the questions pro-
pounded in their former communication. Anxious to
investigate the truth, and not being aware who are the
writers whom the Council consider to be the acknow-
ledged authorities on political economy, the Committee
request to be informed.
The Council of the League must at the same time be
aware that the fundamental principles of any society can
never be identified in the miscellaneous writings of
other parties, and that unless the Council are prepared
explicitly to avow and explain their own opinions, they
will never be able to maintain that position in public es-
timation to which they have aspired.
The Committee of the Society for the Emancipation of
Industry, with a view to the establishment of correcte
opinions on the subject in question, propose
