tits,-1 am sorry to see, from the Carlisle Paper
of last Saturday, that no disposition on the part of
the manufacturers Is maniftrated, to meet the Ise.o.to
claims of their suffering weavers. The prier at which
they offer to work, if l am rightly informed, is one.

gingham manufacturers in Manchester; 131. 61. peer

Their %torpors is.ve offered to warp five ru.s, 28
yards each in cloth, which in the warp wool.l be at
least ISO yards 30(X) ends, for Is.; whilst we give

lend not feel indignant at the conduct of the Carlisle
manufacturers. Suppose toe revertible check and
'gingham manufacturers in Nlencheater, were to call
! their warpers and winders about them, anal tell them
for the future they would only give Carlisle priers;
and ■s their w is came in, till them they had re.
ducavt wages from Ov. 6.1. to 65.; how horror struck
would these poor creatures be, afire Irving, as we
know some of the welters have for many mouths, on
ithe meanest sod most scanty fare Such a declare.
lion would be a finishing terirke to that little gleam
of hope which still supports them in their suffering
situation; but we cannot, we will turf ; feelings of
humanity alone forbid every respectable Mooches.
ter manufacturer from making each a declaration.—
Weaving is mach too low already, and we should be
very glad if we had it in our power to give more ;
but a combination of circumstances, too remittals
Ito mention, prohibits the possibility of it at present,
though I ass persuaded a standard might be fined,
below which weaving should not be reduced, but
shove which it might rise according to demand or
fair competition. We are daily applied to by weavers
who work for us to borrow money, some of their
landlords are selling them op for rant, others cannot
get credit at the shop and are starving for want,
while some bare sick families and are suable to pro.
vide them with necessaries or nonristments. Is this
then a time to reduce labour still lower, when we
can give out little more thaw:heti work, end when
our weavers get little wool .aas half meet ? But to
return, why do the Carlisle manufacturers wish to
get their work done for so much less than we do
oars; is it from the strong opposition they feel from
us
in our ender selling them either in this or any
ether market ?No all the opposition has been
created by and amongst themselves. When they
made 1000 pieces weekly, fast colours end good
clot►, they acid well at from 'ls. to 21. 2.1. per yard ;
feeling their way without soy check or drawback
from the Manchester manufacturers tusking the mow
article; they went on to produce 2000 pieces weekly,
which also sold well, and afforded the work•;reople
good wages and themselves a fair profit; but whet►
they got to making 3 to 4000 pieces weekly, the
markets began to be overstocked—lsles were forced
■t
low priers, and oat willing to lose any thing, one
impoverished the quality and colour, and then
another by little and a little, silll ticketing the goods
as at fret: warranted fast colours are piloted on
them, though common black and plum form the
greatest part or weight in some of their pieces, malts
washing of which would do away with all distinction
in colour or pattern. Thus they went on to pro.
dice 8000 pieces, and so on in like manner, till 6000
pieces and *petards were produced weekly ; ■ad
thus gradually have they reduced the price from
2s. 2d. to 10d. per yard; and now their own impru.
drove has overtaken them in making reg., they seem
inclined to make skeletons of their winders, warpere,
and weevers.—lout's,
