Lords and Land,

The following instructive paragraphs form
part of a letter from Manchester, England, to
the Journal o: Commerce. The writer describes
visit to the House of Lords and sa VS.:
''As looked about mo. | thought-WclI. n
few hundred of these men own perhaps two-thrds
Of the soil Of England. They have the entree to
the Palace. exempt from arrest. They and theirs
monoPolize great proportion ofthe wealth ca rned
by the slceaiing millions. They ha We for them
selves and their families nearly all tho good
PAGES in the Church. Army and Navy. What
have they ever dono 10 entile them TO so uneGual |
share of this worlds goods, while thousands
perish With hunger! DR.. FrankIin's notion of
titles was, that they should ascend 10 ancestry,
and not descend 10 poslerity; because if u man
performed great deed, the probability was he
had been taught by his father, and prepared by
parental raining to serve the State.
Cromwell turned these Lords adrft, and called
from all parts of the kingdom men of various oc-
cupalions to answer him this question, "What
shall | do 10 make trade prosperous at home and
abroaG!' And these practical men sat in this
very room, before occupied by the Lords.
The fact is, left the House with far less re-
spect for Lords than ever before, and that was
not much.
Recipe for England's Troubles-Take ali
blood royal and noble, and all such folks as are
made of porcelain clay, instead Of common clay
like the rest of us, and put them on board of some
Of their best ships Of war, (no guns) well stocked
with provisions, and tell them TO 90 where they
like, but never come back TO England confisca,e
