THE STATESMAN.

LONDON:

WEDNESDAY. YEIRUARY 10, 1819.

Iff the reflections which we thew oat yesterday in
our leading article, with respect to the sal-adelais-
tratios of public affairs, stood in need of any aid
duly to impress upon the minds of all rooks of people,
the debates in the Home of Commons last /sight af-
ford it amply. The picture of the State of the Coon-
try, as painted by Mr. STURGES Minim in his no-
tion for the re-appolotmest of the Committee en the
Poor Laws, cosh: not fail to wring the moat callous
heart. What avails it, if, as Lord cAvrixitAcii
affirmed, that the present Revenue of the country
covered or exceeded its expeodittare--(thotagh, by-
the-bye, that circumstance implied the consuming
all that was presided for susteining the Sinkleg
Fend, sad conseqoently the National Debt remain-
' ing stationary)—what avails it, therefore, we ask,
that a highly-toloored gloss is thrown Deer the really
sad figures which are sees under it ? We ammo.
for the ninety-ninth time, perhaps, that 13 or 14
millions of additional income is required to feed the
cormor-ot mouth which Ministers have enlarged to
'so frightful a degree. This, however, Is sot the full
rosiest of the financial evil. As the interim' system
of finaorkting has been radially wrong, in the wn- as.
consfitrtional way, for an we will all it, of selling
the Land Taz to raise monoy—i• sugar laneuage,
" eating the c.lf in the cow's belly," an has the sys-
tem of taset,nn extended to the rejoins degree of
preventing Ilse manufacturers from producing their
larizles for raportation, at a price to undersell oar
foreign competitors. It is in vain, therefore, that
our ingenious men, our BASKEZ%U.XES,AIIf WATTS'',
our WEDGEWOODS, our CLAYS, stsC. SEC invest new
utensils and toys, and that oar ASILWRIGHTS, oar
C•ISTRRIGHTII, &c. discover new machinery far
expediting the fabrication of them, the greedy, the
woracions maw of Of sultana of legation awaltow•
up all its produce. Them aeleotific or ingenious I
ipersons illustrate their names 'tie troy, and the ma-
ti on derives credit for its sagacity and activity ; bet
there the matter ends: the People are not benefited
lby the opplicetims of the Weals of those who wield
be their benefactors ;on the contrary, by the wick- •
eel neglect of Ministers to discover means of em-
playing the wilting hand, which moles to be re-
gaited by that improved sped*. of manufacture in
which human labour is spored by the invention of
machinery, that very band le compulsorily tomtit
against the blameless manufacturer, or employed la
robbing a neighbour of a part of that property which,
by a more fortunate lot in life, he has been la,ing by
for the solace of old age. This slate of thine Can-
not, will not, last. Th. Legislature has no time to
los.. Ministers will never consent to pr!.rscrunre a of

sentence tivon themselves. They rennet e'en 'co.
newly' but upon the must pitiful t•cale : they 41P afraid
of Insiug the rns:lest portion of Their
plower in this respect keeps them isi place—ii H to
this that " crismity cites its long life." The ad-
ministration tsi a Revenue of fifiy or silly italics-,
Per annum would curt urt the nos! sirteoet rim .is
