In a debate in the British House OF Com
mons. on the subject Of the Poor Rates Of the
Kingdom which nave become very oppie, i've,
MIR Stanley attributed the evil in part 10 the
system Of d Sole Of allow nee Tor all o. caslonS;
for sickness-for children-snd IN short, Tor
every thing. He remarked, that II was ob'l-
Gus that such system must be productive oil
great mischief, in breaking down the dislnc-
ZION between the Industrious laGorcr and The
idle profllga,e. He had received several let
tiers on his subject from ditft parts oil The
country, detailing other gross abuses In some
places the lents of cottages were poid for pau
pers; so much was paid for wife, anu so much
for each child, bv which a bounty was held out
for early and impro,itrnt marriages. In one
parish OF Norihamptonshire, il was stated that
there were six orphan children left chargeahir
10 the parish. The parish officers did the r
best to provide for them. One Of those Or
phans, VINO arrived al the age Of Is, did that
which was the worst thing that could happen
to i pauper youth:-he Tell in iove with young
woman of another parish. Atthe time he had
not A farming; Ihe very clothes he wore were
supplied Ivy the parish, but that he consider d
no obstacle, aud re was determined 10 marry.
The paris" officers hot wishing 10 nave the bur
den on the Loor rates, and considering them>
selves ia loco parents, for babe the bass. l he
young man grumhled very much, AID so d'd
The young woman; aud soon after the opin'on
o. a Learned Civilian, Member OF that n use,
was taken, as 10 whether the parish others had
the pGser TO prevent The marriage, and he
opinion he gave was, that they had no su h
power. He (Mr. ). could not say w"eN err the
young people were married after that, BIZ n"

mentioned that the other orphans were all boys,
and, w,,h the example Of their elder brother
before them, there IVES no reason to supp sc
they might not also fall in love al thr same age;
an6 when they were sure OF provision being
made for them, il was certain that they would
bring additional ourthe"s ON The parish. When
they were sure Of having their rent paid aud
provisions and clothes found for them, II was
natural TO suppose that they would coulrac'
early marriages, with such bounty held out
70 them.
MIR. Monck, after some other remarks said;
Perhaps in this enlightened agr, the remedy he
should propose would be considered antedilu>
Wan, aud laus h, at; but really, the only thing
in his opinion thar would be EFF, ctu | would be
the establishment Of minimum Of wages -
Then, and then only, they would have minis
mum of human misery. If, for instance, la
borer's wages were fixed al a minimum Of the
value Of bushel OF wheat per week, he would
married, it should be al his own peril, for he
should not receive more married than whilst
single. IL was law Of nature, that the single
man should be better off than The married man,
but we reversed that law, and made the single
man the worst off. 1t WAS impossible 10 coun'
teract the law Of nature with IMMUNITY, and a.
Iordingly our present system punished US IN
the manner complained OF.
