x"rom the Yenerablp Archdeacon of Ross . Dear Sir , —I cannot speak too favourably of the ' Revalenta Arahica . * Having had an attack of bad fever about three years ago ; I have ever since been suffering from its effects , producing excessive nervousness , pains in my neck , and left arm , and general weakness of constitution , which have prevented me in a great , degree from following my usual avocations ; these sensations , added to restless nights , particularly after previous exercise , often rendered my life very miserable ; but I am happy to say that having been induced to try your Farina about two months since , I am now almost a stronger tothese symptoms , which I con fidently hope wiU be removed entirely , with the Divine blessing , by the continued use of this food ; I have ^ an objection that my name shonld appear in print , which , however , in this instanceis overcome , for the sake ofsuffering humanity . —I am , sir , your obedient servant , Alex . Stoaet , Archdeacon of Ross , Aghadown Glebe , Skibbereen County Cork , August 22 nd , 1849 . 1 now consider myseK a stranger to all complaints , except a . hearry old age . I am as well as ever I was , and even quite free from the vexatious and troublesome annoyance of an eruption of the skin " , of which I had ' suffered for years , and which my medical attendant had declared incurable at my time of life . About sixty years ago I had a fall from my horse , hemiplegia was the consequence , my left arm and leg were paralysed ; also my left eyelid and the eye was displaced . From 1789 these dilapidations have resisted afl remedies until now , at the age of eighty-five , by two years use of your delicious breakfast food , my lef t arm and leg have been rendered as useful to me as the right , and the left eyelid restored to health ; the eye so much so that it requires no . spectacles , iic . I deem this extraordinary cure ef much importance to sufferers at large , and consider itmy duty to place the above details at your disposal , in any way you think wiU promote the welfare of others . Faithfully , ' Wm . Hunt , Barrister-at-Law , ' King ' s College , Cambridge , Oct 15 , 18 * 9 .

What ¦ " Should A Peopled Parliament Do ...
WHAT ¦ " SHOULD A PEOPLED PARLIAMENT DO ? The opponents of Parliamentary Eeform base their hostility to it upon the assumption that a large infusion of . the Democratic element into the Legislature would naturall y and inevitably lead to anarchy and spoliation . With them thV ; demand of the masses for enlarged' political power ia synoniinous with the plunder of the propertied classes , and the introduction of a system of general licentiousness hostile to all the best interests of
society . . Nothing is more common - than to hear such arguments , in substance , urged both in and out ; of Parliament , when this question is mooted ; and in proof of their soundness , we are continually referred to . the revolutionary excesses on the continent , and the blood that has been shed during the angry , physical- force contests attendant on these revolutions . : Now ; there is no more deceptive mode of reasoning than the analogical . Unless the two cases , or things , compared , are precisely , similar in all respects , the conclusion deduced from the analogy is certain to . be more or less
defective and deceptive ; and there is no reason whatever , either in theabstract or the concrete , why the attempts of ; the French people , for instance , " for ; improved political institutions , Having led to violence and bloodshed , the same results should necessaril y ensue in this conntry . The constitutional character , the previous habits , and the pre-existing political and social institutions of a people , are all essential elements in such a comparison ; and where these are not taken into account , duly estimated , and allowed their full weight , any deductions , drawn from mere . surface-facts , must be thoroughly fallacious ^ , ' ' ' \
At all events , we feel it to be our duty to show those alarmists that the masses . of this country are not the anarchists they are described to be , and that they are not ignorant either , as they are frequentl y and insolentl y described , of the purposes to which they would apply political power when they get it into their possession . Assuming then , that such a reform of our representative system , as we advocated last week , was conceded , what should be the policy and the progressive measures of a Parliament , elected by the whole peopleT
In the first place , we believe that it would see the importance of making the Legislative and Administrative machinery of the country as efficient as possible . In order to do that , there must , at the beginning , be an extension of the right of local self-government . The House . of Commons is now unequal to the accumulating mass of administrative details which it attempts to direct . Avery large proportion of the time of members is consumed in attending committees on private bills connected , with distant parts of the
kingdom , on the merits of which , many of them , from the very nature of the case , must be so uninformed , that ; the door is opened for all jobbery and corruption of self-interested and powerful parties ; who can afford to hire clever and unscrupulous agents to get up a Parliamentary case . - ; The local interests of the people are thus at the mercy of selfish cliques , and arft sacrificed to them without any effectual resisting power on their part . It is necessary , therefore , that they should be entrusted with a larger share than
heretofore in the management of their own affairs , especially in , Scotland and Ireland , the colonies , anrl other extreme parts of the United Kingdom . ' ; but subject , of course , to such i general supervision on the part of the Central Legislature and Executive as may be required for the maintenance and administration of fundamental and general laws , in facVthe , application of the federal system oi the United . States , with such modifications as were required by the different circumstances oi this country , would powerfully nromote the
public ^ benefit . ; . Local Parliaments should meet ^ Edinburgh , Dublin , and York , or some other central English town ,. for the consideration and despatch of all purely local legislation , such as railways , . harbours ; & c , and » leave the" Imperial Parliament to deal with imperial questions and general administration only , The result ' would be twofold . ; In the first place ,: the business would be generally transacted b y parties who knew the localities for which they were - legislating ; and in the second , it would tend to ' equalise the distribution of , wealthl throughout the whole country ,
by causing many persons , ; of comparativel y limited , but still , ample incomes , to reside in the provinces , , whip are now attracted for a considerable , portion of the year to London , in consequence . bf ' the sole legislative bodies holding their sittings in the metropolis ^ So much for the general division of national local business , but within that again , there would be the neeessityjfor improving the machinery of S ^ S ^ r ^ ^ Municipal Reform Act oi : 1835 , limited in itself , has beeri & liowedby . noTeasonable progress in the same ' ¦ direction ; , The ^ most flagrant abuses , entailing heavy local burdens upon the people , have I been allowed to remain uhreforifted , an , d . m
What ¦ " Should A Peopled Parliament Do ...
rebuked , and . no pains ^ have been taken to simplif the ; m ^ hin e ^ " ofj . local ' government throughout the conntry , and to put it upon a satisfactory footing . What a People ' s Parliament should do in this matter would be to consoiidate / byobei uniform law , - alllocal business for tqwn andi . country in ; the hands of local councils , elected by the people , organised in constituencies of large and equal extent . ^ ^ bu ^> .. »& m . ?& %% & . ^ eentaken fc
The powers of the unpaid . magistracy , in re gard to their interference with ; rates , would , consequently , be abolished , as well as thoae of all Boards of Commissioners , appointed under local acts , and of all select vestries and irresponsible public corporations . At present , these bodies possess a taxing power scarcely inferior ih its aggregate amount to that of the Imperial Government itself .
The next great measure of an , admmistrative character to which a real People ' s Parliament should direct its attention ,, would be a revision and just apportionment of the burden of taxation . The public burdens are not only greatly larger than is needed for an efficient administration and the discharge of the national obligations , but the revenue is now raised upon a system of partial and unjust assessment . The land tax , the income tax , and the legacy duties especially , are so levied as to throw upon the middle and working classes a large proportion of the burdens that should fall upon the rich . Other taxes are of a nature to interfere with
public health , as the window duties , and with the interests of production , Such a revision of taxation ought at least to include the extension of the legacy duties to landed property , and the abolition of all stamp duties on the sale or lease of such property , The land-tax ought to be re-assessed j and if the income tax was continued , there ought to be an equitable
adjustment of its amount in reference to the distinction between precarious incomes and incomes derived from permanent sources . The window duties ' should Tie swept away , as one of the most pernicious and indefensible taxes ever imposed ; and all Excise restrictions , with the exception , perhaps , of those on the manufacture of spirituous liquors , should be abolished .
In close connexion with these great and urgent measures a People ' s Parliament would enforce a ri gid economy , and retrenchment ; in the expenditure and admimstration of the public revenue , thus levied and collected . The promises of cheap and good government , made at the . time ^ of the Eeform Bill , have been forgotten , or set at nought . TJp to 1848 , the expenditure of the United Kingdom had , within the previous twelve years , been- increased b y the addition of eight millions sterling per an- ; num ; and , notwithstanding some reductions
since that period , still remains at nearl y that excess over the expenditure for the year 1836 * . The army and navy have been largely increased during that period , and are still maintained , without any adequate necessity , upon a war footing . These enormous armaments have been maintained in a time of peace , at the cost of adding to the vast debt contracted in war ., In 1847 , the deficit in the revenue of three millions sterling , was only met by adding it to the unfunded portion , of the National Debt . The army , navy , and ordnance estimates would be reduced at least to the
standard of 1835 ; a reduction in the number . of foreign embassies would be effected , and all useless offices and unmerited pensions would be unsparingl y extinguished by the real representatives of the people . Having thus primarily provided for an efficient imperial and local administration , for a just and equal system of taxation , and for the economical expenditure of the public revenue , the next class of measures to which a Legislature as elected by , and responsible to , the whole people , should turn its attention , would be the improvement of the material condition of the
masses . A system of Preventive Poor Lam would be the foundation , of all subsequent measures for this purpose . The principle of poor laws has hitherto been confined in its application to the relief of destitution by alms , often so administered as to increase and en . courage the growth of that monster social evil —pauperism . The means for its prevention , as far as destitution is caused by physical means only , are known , but have been neglected , or abused . It is no want of primary elements of wealth that any part of the population are poor , or living in a state of
pauperism . There is , in these islands , land sufficient for the support of four times their present population ; but , in consequence of a vicious and corrupt system of land monopol y and land tenure , the soil is locked up from the people , and doomed to artificial sterility , or rather unproductiveness . When the facilities for extinguishing pauperism , offered by the latent , undeveloped , and unused capabilities of the home soil , were exhausted , the resources of our colonies might be resorted to , and thus , for centuries to come , at least , want , or the fear of want , be made to be unknown to every British subject . . ;
A People ' s Parliament , with this object , ought to institute , in the first place , inquiry into the means of reclaiming tbe bogs and waste lands of the United Kingdom , upon such a plan as would always admit of productive supplementary employment for the ablebodied when other resources failed ; and , in connexion with this , an official public inquiry into the results of the various experiments that have been madeand the various plans
, that have been proposed , of systematic colonisation , either home or foreign , with a view to the adoption , on a large scale , of such plans as may offer the best guarantee of success in relieving the existing pressure on the competitive labour market . The improvement of land is & source of productive employment almost indefinite , But the reason why waste lands and bogs are not reclaimed by individuals , is that the return upon a larse outlay
is . otten too distant to encourage individual e £ terprise . This objection does not appl y to the State , one duty of-which is to . extend the resources of the next generation . In no other way can it perform that duty so effectually as by this . As to . the means it would only be necessary to mort gage the poor rates for a given number of years , in . order , to provide abundantl y all the needful capital for the
purpose . In the next place , and for the further promotion of this object , a People ' s Parliament would immediatel y enact just laws of inheritance with the ultimate view of restoring the ownership of the whole soil to the people , to whom , by the decree of God himself , it rig htfull y * belongs , , and its alienation from whom , by fraud and force , constitutes the great Cause of physical and social misery and evil . This fundamental and important alteration in the tenure ofthe soil must , ' however , in justice to all parties , be made ; only-gradually ,
progressively ,, ana equitabl y , carefully indemnifying all existing rights ands . interests , whenever they are interfered with for the public benefit , by paying for them the fair market value for thesarights . The evils which flow from the mischievous laws and restrictions ' of feudal times are yet rife among us . The custom of Primogeniture is still enforced in the case of landed property left intestate in Eneland . and
tne law still permits the representatives of large , estates to affect posterity through the medium of entails , by the same preferential and unjust distinction of the eldest born . The enectof this institutionis to weaken , in the public mind ., the influence of the natural lav « which connect wealth and industry—to maintain permanent examples of wealth obtained without labour , and to create from among the j disinherited younger branches of the nobility
a . numerous , class ,, mcapaoitated ; :, by tber f habits for productive . employment , and f ° whom provision-has had to be made hitherto at the expense ; of tho state . Its further aiw serious . conBequense is , to prevent a full
