~ NO CORN-LAWS!" “ NO BREAD
TAX !" ~ FREE TRADE!"
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Stn,--I read in one of your Numbers of last ‘Veek the
excellent letter of " An Operative," and your own most
appropriate and forcible commentaries thereon, recom-
mending the people of the metropolis to form along tha
line of the Royal Procession on the day of the opening
of Parliament, namely, Thursday next, the 4th of Feb-
ruary, and to open her Majesty's ears and eyes to a sense
of the distress of her attached subjects of the middle
and productive classes, by a well-sustained cry of the
above expressive declarations—" No Corn-laws !' "No
Bread Tax !" " Free Trade !"
It is of great importance that the people should thus
express themselves to their beloved and attached Sove-
reign, whose ears their condition cannot otherwise reach,
for it requires no art of supernatural power to divine
that her Majesty's present Ministers, and those persons
whom they have placed around her Majesty's per-
son, take especial care to keep all the know- -
ledge possible from her of the calamitous and
heart-rending distress which the accursed Corn and
Provision-laws, and other restrictions on trade, have
brought on the united kingdom of Great Britain and
Ireland. It is also of great importance that the cry
should be raised in the presence and hearing of the
King of Prussia, who is to accompany her Majesty to
and from the House, and whose Ambassador at the Court
of London is, by. all accounts, a mere eatspaw in the
hands of her Majesty's present Ministers. His Ma-
jesty will thereby have oral and ocular testimony
of the state of feeling in England in favour of free trade,
and of the distress which- the want of it has brought
upon the British people. He will learn from it, also, a
salutary lesson of the deplorable effects of the iniquitous
English Corn-laws.
Let the people then, Mr. Editor, muster strongly along
the whole line of the procession, and as their Majesties
go to and return from the House, raise their voices in a
firm, continuous, and respectful manner to their be-
loved Sovereign, from whose attachment and feeling
they may hope for much—who has always shown a will-
ing readiness to redress their grievances, and alleviate
their sufferings, when represented to her ; and whose
good sense will indicate to her, without the necessity of
Ministerial explanation, the quarter for which those
cdaeclllaforratthi3snuser thatfro thefrom
herla w liwaiheiscthy could
de-
voted, suffering, patient, and loyal subjects must be bad,
iia
ddeemndonedsiraatindon
and ought to be totally and immediately abolished. Once
more then, Sir, and in conclusion, let the cry be—" NO
CORN-LAWS!" your Majesty. "NO BREAD TAX!"
FREE TRADE!" And may it hereafter be said—
Along the line the signal ran,
And England owns that ev'ry man
That day had done his duty.
Honouring you, Sir, for your steady and able advo-
cacy of the interests of the people, and hoping that you
will, from this date, up to the meeting of Parliament.,
continue to remind the Kople of their duty to themselves
on this subject, and of the hour at which their Majesties
are to go to the House,
I remain, your grateful and obedient servant,
ogE OF THE MIDDLE CLASSES.
