A Lesson to Rul&k

/
England, describes the growth of
trusts and monopolies three hundred
years ago. He tells how the people
at last arose and demanded redress
and how the queen seeing that she
could no longer resist public OPT
MON, gracefully yielded. The
historian points to her example as q
lesson to rulers. In the hope that
the lesson may not be lost upon
those now in power, the description
is reproduced:
ut was iu the parliament OF 1901
that the opposition which had, dur
ing the forty years been silently
gathering and outstanding strength
fought it's first battle and won it's
first victory. The ground was we'll
chosen. The English sovereigus
had always been entrusted with the
supreme direction Of commercial
policies. 1t was their undoubted
prerogative to regulate coin weights
and measures, and to appoint fairs,
markets and ports. The line which
bounded their authority over trade
had, a. usual been, but loosely
drawn. They, therefore, as usual,
encroached upon the province which
rightfully belonged to the legisla-
turs. The enoroachment was, 90
usual, patiently borne, till it became
serious. But at length the queen
took upon herself to grant patents
Of monopoly by scores. There wos
scarcely family in the realm which
did not feel itself aggrieved by the
oppression and extortion which this
abuse naturally caused. Iron, oil,
vinegar, coal, saltpetre, lead, starch,
yarn, skins, leather, glass, could be
bought only at exorbitant price 8.
The house of commons met in an
angry and determined mood. 1t
was in vain that courtly minori.
ty blamed the speaker for suffering
acts of the queens highness to be
c.lled in question. The language
OF the disseminated party was hig
and menacing and was echoed by
the voice of the whole nation. The
coach of the chief minister of the
crown was surrounded by an indig-
naut populace who cursed the
monopolies and exclaimed that the
prerogative should not be suffered
to touch the old liberties OF EGG
land. There seemed for a moment
to be some danger that the long
and glorious reign of Elizabeth
would have shameful and disss.
trous end. She however, with
admirable judgment and temper,
declined the contest, put herself at
the head of the reforming party.
redressed the grievance, thanked
the commons in touching and dig
nified language for their tender care
of the general veal, brought back
to herself the hearts of the people
