Of those shallow Free traders who 70: years had
gone on preaching. that since the repeal Of the
Corn Laws glutted markets ware impossible,
There the glut il, with all i's consequences, and
in ts no,t acute form; aud ia view Of it nobody is
more eager to accuse the imprOVidence Of manu-
facturers, il not reducing production, than those
very economists who tod them only few
months BE- fore that they never could produce too
much. We long since called attention to the eK-
istence OF this dsease in a chronic form. 1t has
been aggravated, of course, BY the late difficult
ties in America, and the crisis that depressed

they were, continued 10 be used as outlets-as
also California and Australia. When the English
manufacturers could 10 longer sell their goods at
home, or would not do SO rather tnsn depress
prices, they resorted to the absurd eKpedient of
corsigning them abroad, especially to Iadia, Chi
IA, AustIslia and California. This eIpedent en-
abled trade TO go on for a while with less embar.

once upon the home market; but when they ar
rived at their destinations they produced embaT-
rassment at once, and a,Out the end of Septem Ser
last the effect began to be felt in England.
Then the crisis exchanged its chronic form for
an acute one. The first houses that felt il were
ire calico printers; lumber Of them, including
very old established houses in Manchester and
ttat vicinity, broke down. Ihen came the turn
of the shipowners and the Australian and Cas-
forDian merchants: next came the China traders.
and finally the Indian houses All Of them have
had their turn most of them losing severely, while
many had to suspend; aod FOX none Of them has
the danger passed Away. On the contrary it Is
still increasing The six manufacturers were
equally affected; their trade has been reduced to
almost nothing and the localities where it ID car
ried on have suffered end still suffer, the grestes

ners and manufacturers. Some of them had 81

macy more must do so. The spinners Of fine
yarns as we also learn had begun to work only

shortly have to do the same But how many Of
them will be- able to stand this for any length Of

A few months more and the crisis will be a. a
hight which it mas not reached in England snce
l646, perhaps Rot sLce s42. When its effects begin
to be fully felt among the working classes, then
will that political movement, begin again, which
has been dormant for Elk years. Then y ill tue
working men of Ens land rise snew, menacing the
middle classes at the very time that the middle
classes are finally driving the aristocracy from
power. Then will the mask be torn OF which has
hitherto hid the real political textures OF Great
Britain Then will the two real cOntendiogpartie
in that country stand face to fsce-the middle class
and the working classes, the Bourgeoise aud the
Proletarist-apd England will at last be COM

1t IL alss striking fact that the last moments
of the British Constitution are as prolific in evil
depces of corrupt social state as the last mo-
menis Of Louis Philippe's monarchy. We have
