It cannot he doubted, that the consumers and the
public, have been dating the long and dreadful war
in which this Country has beet) engaged with all
Europe, and for tt, period with the Unit«t States
America, the great and continued suft?rers,
whilst Landlords and Tenants enjoyed. extreme trd.
vantages,which were notorions,and which they can-
not forget. This produced great increase of wages
by the lower orders and working trades of all
kinds, raised the price of British Manufactures,
laid the foundation to the still existing difficulties
of meeting the lower prices of other Manufac-
turers in foreign markets, where subsistence and
wages can be obtained on lower terms.
The distress has obviously been greater among.
the consumers than Landlords and Tenants the
increase of pauperism speaks volumes on this
bead, and ohviru,ly the consumers, or at least ,a
very considerable part of than, cannot Pay even
the resent moderate prices, from dowuright in-
abiliiy.

them have CA Lansford aid. Tenant to do
in this cis ?

To reform their own system ; which appears to
require,

1. For the Landlords to reduce their rents so
that the Temiufs and families, along with, the
consumer, may subsist.
2. For the T,..ninvs to enter on such Rents, as
the situation, as middle men between the Laltilord
.and ConsuMer Can give, subject to a reform tof
their own conduct
in laying by the ektravagance
ofm
modern times, return to the economy of their
forefathers, like theim labour dud cultivate the
s-i 1 personally, instead of employiug hired ser-
vants to do it.

3. il.e crinsurners to abandon extravagance of
living incompatible with their earnings and re-
solaces. In reverence to the food the Agricul-
turist provides, to teen!: the system of their fore-
fathers, who, from a principle of savirigness, in
stead of the dearer wheaten bread contented them-
selves with bread made from barley or oatmeal,
which would not only cause an immediate reduc-
tion of expenditure on their parts, applicable to
other necessary purposes, but force Landlords and
Tenants by moderation in prices to enable the
ci.risnmer to buy what he must at present abstain
from, not having the ability to pay for.

These proposals are not subjects of Legislative
enactments, and are let to the good sense and
options of the parties intensted, where mutual
concessions will produce mutual ben. fit, as this
depends on jointly giving and receiving bene-fits.
Regarding to Legislative interference, which of
a useful tendency, I b g leave to propose,
1 A reduction of large fat ms to moderate sizes,
by fixing taxation on large farms in a multiplied
ratio, as woiild render them unprofitable, and
if possible to reduce the calling of farming tenants
to a labotions employuienl, as lot merly, not to
encourage one Lordly Masher with malty servants.
This would tend to the rt:duct ion of prices ; and
also.furnishing markets erith many inferior ar-
ticles of produce, which are deemed too ittsignifi•
cant in large farms to atttend to, such as t:uit,
vegetables, - fowls, and articles wanted in 'house
keeping, greatly enhanced in price in late years
The lessening of farms to rile size of 10 acres and
some or less magnitude, would caii,e a succession
of hardy peasants as of old; without servi-
tude. It would moreover tend to uphold
the Yeomanry of Englarkl, a class of men
every trite Briton always speaks of, and looks up
to with exultation and. pleasure. Such division
of Farms would counteract 'depopulation, and not
drive small farmers from their homestead into
towns and cities to become. menials, and divide
their families. I could not help rending with re-
gret, and sympathy for the sufferers, the relation
of a wealthy landed proprietor in Staffordshire,
having given notice to some hundreds of farmers
on an estate in the North of Scotland, whose
families had resided on that spot for several gene-
rations, to quit, and whey,' these forlorn families
supplicated him to revoke so cruel a decree,
denied their petition, Sidding, he would find them
another situation, which on explanation mined

It the Lilidloids and Tel-mots do scorn the ad-
vice of self reform, and attempt to pursue force

than the community can afford to pay, there are
matters which are likely to bar their slicers+, anti
