FROM TJtE EVENING PAYERS OF YESTERDAY.
GLOBE.---It is not the least calamitous symptom of
such times as the present, that coarse, ignor. ut, and un-
principled men thrust themselves forward to denounce
all classes vt born a suffering people can be brought to
regard as answerable for their sufferings, Mr. Fur-
rand thinks proper to p:ace foremost, amongst the causes
of the present distress, suck migrations as took place a
few years hack from the agricultural to the manufac-
turing districts. Now, if this were true, it would seem that
so many labourers had been transferred improper4y from
places w here they prospered, 'to places where they do
not prover—the natural remedy would seem to be
to send them back. But is it a matter of fact that it
was found they could prosper where they were ? Is it
a matter of fact that to to sent bock is the boon they
covet ? Neither of these questions can be answered
in the affirmative. As regards the first, it would scene
to be answered already by Mr. Ferrand's statement
(if we could believe that, or any other, statement of
Mr. Feri and), that the southern landlords had saved
two millions and a haff.by the transfer of their labourers.
If this were true, those labourers must have been living
upon the land as paupers. Would their condition have
been much better than it is, had they staid there still ?
Does the land supply unlimited funds for prosperous pal-
per maintenance t If 2,400,0001. required to be rids, a
by compulsory charity for these labourers sv bile they stain
On the land, what sum would require. to be raised' now,
when their number would have been increased, and the
cost of sulisistence has been augmented ? Would those
labourers, who could not find
profitable employment
on the land in 1837, find comfortable maintenance on it
no. ? Would they have found such maintenance even
under the old Poor-law ? Ask Captain Swing's vete-
rans of 1830. 1)o those who cannot find work on the
land u.rish to remain on, or to return to it ? Ask the
man for whom the Duke of Buckingham subscribed
twentj shilliegs to send him back to Manchester ? Ask
the men themselves who have mil,rated to the towns.
If we are net misinformed, they are even now unwilling•
to be sent back again. It is, however, certain that those
whose numbers were found surplus on the land five years
ago, are f mid surplus in. the towns now. That is true,
though Mr. Ferrund affirms it. Their sufferings are
certain, though Mr. Ferrand bears witness to them.
They call loudly for public and private relief, though
Mr. Ferran(' says so. Belief by way of general taxation,
though it cannot be affirmed
is the worst possible mode,
that publie advances to suffering classes are indefensible,
under all circumstances.
STANDARD.—In the House of Lords last night,
Lord Radnor, in moving for returns of grain entered for
home consumption, took Occasion to make a long speech
upon the present distress, which he of course tried
to connect with the Corn-laws. Ile was answered
shortly
by the Duke of Welliegton, who, acknow-
ledging the extent of the distress, and avowing
his sincere sympathy • with the sufferings of the
people, siated that the Government would pursue
its present course in endeavouring to mitigate those
sufferings, without resorting to extraordinary measures.
We would take leave to put to Lord Radnor, and to nil
others who affect to discover a connexion between the
Corwlaws and the existing distress, one or two plain
questions :—First, have the suflerers from the present.
depression the means of buying corn, even were it
for sale at a fourth of its present price ? This ques-
tion, we presume, must be answered in the negativ e.
Secondly, if the want of money, arising from want of
employment, which afflicts so many of the people arises
from the Corn-laws, how does it happen that the same,
or even a worse, degree of distress is felt in the corn-
growing countries of the Continent ? We are told that
our manufacturers are idle, because.they cannot exchange
the pro lace of their labour for the corn of other coon-
tries ; but we inquire, what substitute flit- their
labour has been found since 1840 ? Thu people
of the Continent have not yet learned to dis •
pease with the use of clothing and hardware ; but,
surely if they had contrived to create among themselves,
la'ilti°iutflit'Under the
in two or three years, a sufficient substitute for the sup-
ply heretofore received from England, their condition
must, from the operation of such a stimulus to industry,
be one of unexampled prosperity. • here then is Lord
Radnor's difficulty. He has discovered that British in-
dustry is paralysed by the Corn-laws, but be cannot find
where the demand for industry has wandered.
