THE NATIONAL ANTI-GOLD-LAW

LEAGUE

(From the North British Mail.)
Glasgow, 7th August
. _

We briefly mentioned yesterday the meeting of the
Anti-Gold League—a name which must not be supposed
to imply that its members are in any way opposed to gold
in its proper place. The league, which is enrolling many
members, and acquiring considerable influence, is merely

an association for what may be termed a radical reform of
the currency. It does not stop with the repeal of the
acts of 1844 and 1845, but reverts to that of 1819, with
a view to a complete change of the principles that were
then adopted. We insert to-day a full report of the pro-
ceedinzs.

There is not the slightest doubt that the law of 1819
was passed 'without a proper knowledge of its tendencies
by men who were thoroughly ignorant of the subject on
which they legislated, or if some ideas of its character
and purpose strayed accidentally into the minds of. the
Beetians, by whom it was made law, they thought them-
selves secured by the corn and provision duties, and
threw this sop to the money interest. The people were
forgotten between the two parties, or remembered only
in the way, and for the purposes, that a bee-keeper re-
collects his hives in autumn.

We fully agree

,y of the statements made by

the gentleman who addressed the League. Over-pro-
duction and over-population are unmeaning terms, unless

as the consequen-ce. of bad conduct or b-ad legislation.
Fixed prices of anything whatever, or a fixed currency,
are statesmen's follies. They never can be accomplished,
and every attempt• to realize them must be attended by
severe suffering to the productive classes. In this country
they have led to those panics and hurricanes in the com-
mercial world that have ruined prudent traders, and re-
duced thousands of families to beggary, and often to
crime.

'When we speak of touching the law of 1819, we are
told that it was a great settlement, which should not be
perilled. It was a great settlement; but so, also, was the
law of 1815, and the law of 1827, relating to corn. There
is nothing naturally more sacred in money than in corn.
The latter, in reality, is more valuable than the former.
