vilege they offer to surrender to .foreigners our bread and
beef markets. Mr. Duncan quoted some striking passages
from the evidence of Mr. J. D. &Rne. in answer to ques-
tions 13642364, and 1393, shewing that the object of the
Freetraders was to cut down the wages and reduce the
dietary of the working men of this country to the conti-
nental level; and he also cited from Mr. Macgregor, in an-
swer to question 332, that he would admit Prussian stock-
" whether that would destroy the trade of Leicester
or not." He then gave two definitions of
Tuch labour for little money was a form of
cheapness, winch made the rich richer, by depreciating
wages, and .necessitating long hours of toil but
much money for little labour was the form of
cheapness for which the industrious classes ought to
struggle. , It was popularly said that food was the pri-
mary object of life' and so it was to the rich who never
laboured ; but for the great body of the working classea,
the primary object of life was employment, for employ-
ment was the mother of wages, without possessing which
the working man could neither command food, clothing,
or, lodging. Cobbett had long since shown that if the
.quartern loaf were reduced to one penny, it would be of
no advantage to thelabourer unless he had employment by
which he could earn the penny. (Hear.) The League had
deluded the people by promising them that when free trade
was established, three masters would be runninc, after
one .workman. Experience had practically refuted this
prediction. But common sense should have taught the
deluded, that if three masters ran after .one man, wages
must rise, and, with such rise, the doctrine of cheapness
was demolished. For why are wages paid_ at all ? Evi-
dently to create products. But if the products are to be
sold cheap, how can the.employer pay dear for their cre-
ation? ;How can he continue to give much money for
what he must sell for little money ? The League had
also promised that free trade would lead to more trade.
But how can you have more trade, unless you have more
monied instruments by which alone more trade can be
carried on ? Now Cobden voted with Peel to limit the
amount of money ; so that while he promised the end, he
withheld the. means. What would be thought of the con-
duct of a body of railway directors, who retused to add to
the number of their carriages, while the number.of pas-
sengers was daily increasing ? . Yet this was the, exact
kind of folly that Cobden committed, when he promised
more trade, andiimited the quantity of money. Peel had
asked, " Why should not money fetch its price in the
market equally with every other commodity ? " the
answer is, because.money does NW/ resemble any other
commodity. Legislation puts, an arbitrary limit on the
amount of money,; but it does notput any limit on the
production of commodities. When bankers charge a high
rate of interest for money, the charge is not made for its
legitimate mercantilemse, but for its artificial scarcity—a
scarcity deliberately caused by an ignorant and cruel act
of Parliament. It is not money that calls out trade; but
trade that calls out money. The writing of letters calls
out postage stamps; but the creation of „postage stamps
does not cause letters to be written. Suppose Parliament
were arbitrarily to limit the number of postage stamps ;
then it is clear that the transmission of letters must be
limited, however much the
;population might increase, or
however much the desire or necessity of writing more
letters might increase. In sueh.a,ease, people might have
to pay -sixpence or a shilling .for a single stamp. This
would be a form of usury, just as,mitch as a grinding rate
of interest ; and in both cases people would have to pay,
not for the fair use, but for the legislative scarcity of the
instruments they required. Mr. Duncan then explained
the systems& money that he recommended for adoption.
This we reported in the last number .of the .
when describing the meeting of the merchants held at.the
Cotton Sales-room.—A gentleman in the audience asked
whether the Americans would take our taxation money in
payment of debts due to them ?—Mr. Duncan answered
in the negative, and showed that was one of the greatest
advantages of his system ; for the evil now was that fo-
reigners took away our gold coin, which to them was .a
merchantable commodity ; and when that happened, the
Act of Parliament compelled the Bank of England to con-
tract the issue of its motes, on which the rate of interest
was raised, discounts became alrcost impossible, trade was
-suspended , the factories closed , and the operatives dismissed.
(Cheers.) But if we had a paper money of national -cha-
racter, having no intrinsic value as a commodity, but de.
riving all its conventional value from the authority of the
Crown, such money would never be sent out of the coun-
try, since no gain could be derived from its exportation,
but it would permanently remain among us, performing
all the legitimate functions for which it was issued.
(Hear, hear.) This led to an explanation,of the theory
of the foreign exchanges. It was contended by Mr.
Duncan that foreigners only dealt with us on the princi-
ple of barter, and that it was a matter. of perfect indif-
ference to them what denomination we placed on our
monetary instruments. If our paper pound would only
exchange for 21 dwts. of gold, instead of 5 dwts., its pre-
sent value, the foreigner would draw a bill on England
for two hundred of our pounds instead of a bill for one
hundred of our pounds. What the foreigner in this case
would require would be 25 ounces of gold, and provided
he got that quantity of metal he would be satisfied. Now
we coin our ounce of gold into four pounds, so that one
hundred pounds represent 25 ounces of gold ; but if we
coined an ounce of gold into eight national pounds, then
two hundred pounds would represent 25 ounces of gold.
It is a matter of utter indifference to the fbreigner what
value we put on our coins or our paper ; he demands a
dennito of gold, and makes hit calculation so as to
