INDEPENDENT ORDER OF UNITED BROTHERS ( LEICESTER UNITY ) . IMPORTANT TO WORKING MEN . SELF-1 XTEREST being the first law of nature ( and tbrousb . life -we find tbis the one grand ralin £ principle—neither is it wrong , if not carried out to an Improper extent ) , in these days of incertitude it behoves every man to have a thought for the future—to make some provision for the time of sickness , want of employment , and such like contingencies to which man is liable . The various societies formed for this purpose are amongst the foremost , established by the philanthropist of our day ; rthe greatest good has accrued from them ; but the most -prominent stands the various Secret Orders ; the principle on which they are bound gives them a superiority above all other similar institutions . Various are their -titles and significations , and various are tbe modes of Carrying OUt tlieir designs ; hut perhaps there are none which shine so conspicuous or mure beneficial than the - "INDEPENDENT ORDER OF UNITED BROTHERS . " It is an institution that will be found to possess in every way eeual , and in some respects superior , advantages to -any other society of its class . Its laws being based upon "the pure principles of Democracy , and past experience liaving taught the lesson that public-house meetings tend s-ather tc injure than otherwise , the members of tins Order are not allowed to hold their Lodges at such places ; neither are intoxicating drinks allowed at them- ; but , on the other hand , they are not restricted to tectotalism . ITMs Order has met the feelings of a great portion of our population ; hence its rapid progress . To such , then , who wish to appropriate their money to a really useful purpose , who wish to make a provision for sickness and distress , and to be convsyed in a decent manner to that "bourne from whence no traveller returns , " without the aid of a parish , * r . of being under any obligation to friends or charitable persons , this Order affords every facility . The regular contributions amount to Sd . per fortnight , for which a member , when sick , receives 10 s . perwe ° ek ; £ 10 is also given on the death of a member , and £ 5 at the death of a member ' s wife ; and , by paying a small additional contribution , the gifts at the deaths will be doubled . All necessary information may be obtained b y applying to the following persons , viz . : — John Windley , printer , Chureh-gate , Leicester .

Proofs Of Progress. The "New Destiny" Of...
PROOFS OF PROGRESS . THE "NEW DESTINY" OF THE WORKERS . We have often had to note the numerous proofs that every-day experience now affords , of the utter breaking up of old political parties and distinctions ; and have had to remark on the new organization evidently going on , where the friends of labour and the asscrtcrs of its claim to be " FIRST partaker of the fruits , " are ranged on one side ; and the antagonist force , —those who hold that " Capital is justified iu availing itself of every means to keep down the price of labour , " and who maintain in all their integrity
the dehumanizing dogmas of the pensioned Malthus , are ranged on the other . As a consequence of this wreck of old opinions , the term Whig has lost the meaning that attached to it but a few years ago , when it designated the party who were opposed to a " stand-still" policy , and who reprobated the insulting sentiment— " the land we live in : those who do not like it , damn them lot them leave it ; " and it is far even from meaning what it did in 1830-85 , when the martial-law coercion of the " grumbling" Irish , and the " reduction of the English to live on a coarser sort of diet" were its chief end- and aim . Now the
term Whig merely describes the remnant of an old faction , ranged under the leadership of Lord John Russell , waiting on events—and changing their shape and opinions to suit the altered "form and pressure of the times . " Accordingly wc have Lord John himself an advocate for the princip le of restricting tne hours of toil , and for the due regulation and rnoiECTiox by law of those who arc otherwise unable to protect themselves : aud this too in the teeth o ' his former professions and actions as a Minister of the Crown : and hence , too , we have many who formerly were Whigs of the first water , —when
AVhiggism was but the synonyme for Malthusiamsm , —forsaking the error of their ways , and walking in the new . light which opens up the path to true national glory through the aggregation of happy and independent individualism . As another consequence , Toryism , as it existed even in 1817 , lias become extinct . No longer do we hear the insulting denial of grievances—nor the supercilious expression of contempt on those who seek needful reforms . No longer do we find armed bodies of yeomanry endeavouring to put down the voice of complaint by the
newlysharpened sabre , wielded by a drunken hand , as at Petekloo : and no longer have we applications for the suspension of the Habeas Corpus Act , that the dungeons may be filled without the intervention of judge or jury . No longer have we the passing of SIX ACTS—or power-of ' -imprisonment hills , to be followed by Bills of Indemnity for acts of tyranny even greater than those authorised by the despotic laws of the Tory reign of terror ; nor have we any longer the expatriation of a Muin , a Palmer , a Skirvinc , and a Geraijb , for holding the principles of Reform . Those days are passed awaj '—gone
never to return : and with them has gone also the spirit of cruel , despotic , rampant Toryism , as " cmbodied" in a party . With Toryism has also departed Protestant ascendancy . One by one has the penal laws against the lloman Catholics disappeared from the statute book , till there hardly remains one sample of a former sanguinary and truly despotic code . So complete has been the change with respect to the once all-powerful Tory faction , that the modern adherents to a portion of its " principles" became absolutely ashamed of the name ; and they transmuted it into that of Conservative—a name which at once indicated the rejection of the " stand-still policy : " for instead of pleading for things as they are , "
the " Reform of all proved abuses" was the motto put on the new colours of the once Tory party . Conservatism , however , has , in its turn , been frittered away ; and such strange antics have been played by its heroes and their adherents , as to render even the new ' designation , after so short a service , totally inapplicable to a political party . Like the Whigs , the Conservatives are at sea , buffeted about b y the waves of public opinion : and the once respective adherents of both sets of principles are making for the new havens opened up : one by the friends of labour , through the proper organization of industry ; and the other by the advocates for the more complete subjugation ot labour , through the unrestrained operation of capital on unprotectcdncss .
Amid all this breaking-up and re-marshalling of forces , none has been so distinct and so complete as the break-up of the Malthusian . " feclosopfnj . " For a time its novelty aud its plausibility AS AN EXCUSE FOR TYRANNY , caused it to be received -with acclaim by the richer classes ; those wlt f needed some reason to justify their "holding" vast possessions , and increasing in substance and wealth t fith every hour ; while the mass of society , —those who jlid all the work , and caused all the wealth to be , —weTe deteriorating in condition , and were

That -effort , however , proved to be the deathknell of Malthusiamsm . While -the "fcelosophy " was but mlheortj , it served well enough for controversial displays of argument .: and full toleration was accorded . to the holders of the doctrine ; but when its odiousness and cruelty , and savageness , came to be manifested ™ practice , the -whole nation revolted at
the hell-born exhibition of '' Christian love . " From that day Malthusianism was . doomed . The tide of natural feeling « et in against it , and carried away one " after another of its once powerful advocates . The well-directed efforts of Dickens , and Hood , and Jerrold , in a guise which attracted the notice of even the richer classes . ; -efforts made to uphold the natural sympathies of our race , and give them a direction in favour of the helpless and the outcasts , were attended with all-success , spite of the brilliancy and plausibility of the eloquent hut superficial Bulwer . The mind of society was forced into the
conflict ; for it was one in which there could not be indifference or halting : and the result has been that Malthueianism is routed—put to flight . Even a Sir James Guaham has , in his Afew-New Poor Law , been obliged to eat his principles , and introduce clauses which directly negate those on which " fcelosophy" so unseeml y prided itself , when the New Poor Law was enacted . The legislative adoption of the new doctrine has been withdrawn ; the public condemnation has followed on every manifestation of the "feelosopldcal "
principle in practice ; and many of the once stout defenders of the theory are now avowed pleaders for the right of the poor to live in the land of tlieir birth ; therefore Malthusianism has run the length of its tether—has had its brief day of existence . In a little time there will be but the record to tell that it luw . once been—and that men were so blinded by their own imaginary self-interest , as to be led to adopt its hard-hearted doctrines , and to introduce and defend its iron practices .
Amid all these conversions from the advocacy of Malthusianism to a healthier slate of mind , and to the recognition of justcr principles , there is none that has afforded us greater pleasure than that of the Messrs . Chambers of Edinburgh . Forced , as they have been , by circumstances , into a position to do either immense good or harm throughout society , it is important that the power they possess should be exerted in aid of the thutii—and not in support of error . Turning out as they do their " twelve millions of sheets" during the year , they are powerful auxiliaries to any cause that may secure their
advocacy . This wc have often felt , and ever bitterl y deplored , when their vast machinery was set in motion to pojmlarize Malthusianism , and to aid the unholy efforts of capital to render labour thoroughly subservient to its aggrandisement . It was really painful to see periodicals which professed to eschew " all politics" pleading for the ivorst school of politics , and doing their utmost to inculcate the notion thai the evils which pressed the workers into the earth were natural ones , and admitted not of remedy . All this the Chambers ' s have done—done it for years until it was as notorious that they were of the hard
school of what ConuEii called " Scotch philosophy " as it was that they published their Journal . Now , however , their opinions are changed . Now thcy no longer look on the condition of the workers as one irremediable—only capable of partial amelioration through education and moral elevation . Now they no longer regard the unfettered employment of capital and the aggrandisement of capitalists , as the be-all and the end-all of existence . Now they no lon ( , cr regard the producing mass as doomed to labour
incessantly FOR OTHERS , catching of their own productions as small a SHARE as an active labourcompetitlen and the all graspingness of . capital will leave them . Now they recognise a more cheeringa more hopeful—a more blessing-scattering philosophy . In the signs of the times they see the dawning of a new EESTisy for the producers of wealthwherein their condition will be more in accordance with the nation ' s means , and with tlieir own justlydirected efforts to give those means a rightful
appllcation . And , what is better still , the Chambers do nol hesitate to proclaim their conversion to the new faith . They dc not seek to hide their new light behind a bushel . They freely speak of the hope that has been excited within them ; and tell . of the riddance of the fears , as to man ' s progression , which formerly cramped the mind . This is as it should be , It is tho best mode by which they can atone for former errors , and the mischief they may have occasioned by the pertinacious propagation of those errors .
Some two months ago we called attention to an article which appeared in their Journal breathing quite a'different spirit , and having a far nobler purpose , than many of their former articles in relation to the working classes , their wages , and their efforts to ameliorate their condition . The article in question was outhc subject of " short time ; " and well did it contrast with the tract— " the Employer aud the Employed "—which a few months before issued from the same press . The latter was a most insolent attempt to make the miserable and the starving contented with their " position" in life , because al l
was afforded them that capital could spare ; and the former was an eloquent pleading for the helpless victims of our money-getting system—showing that even on the score of gain itself , overworking the human animal is a " mistake , " to say nothing ol ' the higher considerations that should influence the decision on such a question . On that occasion wc pointed out the great change that was observable in the " philosophy" taught by C hamber s Journal ; and we then even hailed them into the field as coworkers for labour's emancipation from the thraldom which the present system has imposed .
It is with high gratification that we now call attention to anc-Uiev vemavkable avtiel « froiw the satwi : pages . On this occasion it is impossible for mistake in relation to authorship to be made . In general tho names of the contributors of the articles in Chambers ' Journal are not given : and thus a difficulty is experienced In ascertaining whether the sentiments of « paper are acquiesced in by the conductors ; or rather which are their own productions ; and which the productions of others . It is true that they are re sponsible for all opinions they put forth , as far as publication goes : but still there is a wide difference
between the publication of the opinions of your neighbour , and the direct inculcation of your own by means of the press . For instance : there is reason to believe that the tract—' The Employer and the Employed "—was not written by either William or Robert Chambers ; but still , as publishers , . they were identified in some degree with the sentiments and object of the writer , At least they were aiding the writer , either knowingly or ignorantly , in his attempt to inculcate false princi ples , and tolibel the
character of the producers . Again : it was not apparent that the article on " short time" which we extracted on the occasion above alluded to , was from the pen of either of the above-named gentlemen . Indeed it is likely it was not ; but from Mr . Simpb n , of Edinburgh , whose efforts to force on public a ttention the questions of Education and Sanatory Reform have been unceasing . But on the present occasion there can be no doubt . Here we have the sentiments with the name ; and here we have the avowal pf » new faith giving rise to bright and glow .
Proofs Of Progress. The "New Destiny" Of...
ing hopes , instead of the cold and cheerless " 'pnilosophisings" of Malthus witlnvhich . we used to be dosed . For some time it has been the custom of the Messrs . Chambers to give an . flnnual . fioirGe , or entertainment , to the persons in thoir-employ , at which , after tea has been partaken , speeches are made by both employers and employed . Tho other day the meeting for the present vear was held ; and it was at that meeting , speaking in his own proper person that Mr . Robert Chambers gave utterance to the
sentiments we are now about to set before the reader-We extract the Report from Chambers ' s Journal o ' September Oth , - premising that after a speech from Mr . Wm . Chambers , setting forth the extent of tlieir establishment , and the arrangements made in it for the comfort of the employed ; and , after the delivery of an address in repl y , b y one of the working compositors , Mr . Robem Chambers delivered an address , or essay , on the condition of the working classes , as follows : — 1 . My friends—I would take this opportunity of maliing a few remarks on tiie condition and prospects of the working-classes . 1 mean to be very short , for this is not an occasion when patience is to be expected for long speeches or dissertations .
2 . That discontent with their position and share of the profits of industry prevails very generally among tiie trot-king classes , is too obvious a fact to require being here insisted on . It is less heard of at present than it was two or three years ago , because at present almost every man fit for work is in good employment , and there is accordingly little immediate sense of hardship . Hut the existence of a deep and settled feeling of discontent is nevertheless true , and it is to this that I am to address myself on the present occasion . Now , I not only admit the fact of the discontent , hut I believe that it is not without cause . But I think , at the same time , that there
is a right as well as a wrong way of expounding and arguing upon the case of the working-classes , as against the rest of society , and the employing class in particular . / also bcliccc that much oftehat the working-classes complain of is essentially connected with the present state of society , and only can be remedied by / uvouf of certain social improvements which it will require time to effect . The airanguments between masters and their people partake of that imperfection which may be said to characterise all existing institutions , through the ignorance and prejudices of man , and which it is the grand object of the wise and good of this age to remove .
S . The position of the working-classes is now , like many other tilings , in a transition state . They were once slaves , afterwards retainers ; now they are free workmen . Tins is the hi ghest point which they "hare as yet been able to reach in any country ; but we may fairly expect ifiat this is not to be their ultimatum . It cannot he—if they improve , and society improve with than . It is common to express doubts if the last move of the workers , namely , that from the retainer to the free operative , has been an improvement , I would class this notion With that which asserts tho beatitude of our quondam . West India , slaves and di-plores their being brought to the ' miseries attendant upon ( .-mancipation . It seems sad for the working-man to lack that kindly protection which he enjoyed from his feudal master . Such protection , 1
grant , was well in its own time , when there could bo nothing better . ' But does it never occur to the scions of Young England that there is a very alarming resemblance between the protection which a baron extended to his servants , and that which he extended to the animals which equally served him his horses , and his dogs ! Do they not see that , when one man assumes even the position of a . protector over another , he degrades that otheipcrson ? For my part , I am totally unable to see what right any human being has to act the protector towards another . No—upon nil such relations as this , I cannot but think the present position of the Independent labourer a great improvement . Ten times rather let me have my stipulated wages and no more—even though I never once interchange a word with my master—than have him
pretending to a right to take cave of tne , as if , forsooth , I were such a child as to be unable to take care of myself . In the one condition , the manl y virtues must shrink and die ; the other tends to elicit self reliance , and is the needful step to something better . There may , however , be much kindly feeling between employers and the most independent of labourers . My brother and 1 , for example , while wc respect the independence of our co-operators , are not on that account the less friendly with them . I believe , on the contrary , that there is a purer bind of good-will between us , from the very fact that each party is independent of the other . Our mutual good feelings are the more nearly those which exist between equals in the common world . Any interchange of civility stands the more clear of all imagination of an inferior motive .
4 . I regard , then , the position of the independent work , ing-man as a point in progress . It is something better than anything which has been before , wanting , no doubt , some oi" those pleasant looking features which marked the condition of the retainer-, but niW 6 limn making u ibr this by pecularities of'its own ; anyhow it is a point in progress . Now , the first question is , in what light are we to regard this position ? it seems to me that the great error of those who write upon the subject , is 5 n treating it as a final position , as if the system of HiliE were a thing so perfect that it could never be changed for anything else , and as if we had nothing to do but consider by what means the relation of hirer and hired could be made as agreeable to both parties , and as fruitful of good results as possible . To me , the fact that workers
have gone through various phases , already denotes that they are only now going through another phase , and that there are still other phases through which to pass . The world is altogether a system of flux and change . Nothing s'auds still : new combinations and developments are constantly taking place . With fresh generations come fresh ideas , and dogmas in political and moral philosophy , which are the worship of one age , become the scoff of another . I therefore expect that amongst the improvements of the future , there is to bo one regarding the relations of the directors aud the executors ot * labour . To obtain some nMioii of what this is lo be , the readiest course is to consider what are the leading detects and evils of the present arrangements , for it will be iu the removal of these that the chief change will take place .
0 . What I think is mainly to be complained of in the present system , is that it tends to send oft the hirers and hired in t : vo different directions—the one towards a high intellectual tension aud an elevated moral state , along with the possession of great wealth and the consequent enjoyment of great luxury , and the other towards a condition the reverse in all respects . The master , exposed to so many risks , obliged to watch every opportunity of obtaining any advantage in the mercantile world , his mind kept ever on the stretch to devise the most economical means of conducting his operations , necessarily has his faculties called into high exercise . The opportunities he has for the profitable employment of additional capital , prompt him to bo self-denying and prudent , even lor the better gratification of his acquisitiveness ; and thus he
advances as a moral being , and as a man of wealth at the same time . How stands it on the other hand with ihe workman i lie has a limited and monotonous range of duties . His intellectual resources are accordingl y not brought into full use . Or ho is condemned to severe physical exertion , which leaves the mind languid and inert , and thus equally he remains iu a low intellectual state . To state the matter in perhaps its least unpleasant shape , the master is often oppressed with his intellectual duties , while the mind of the workman is starved for want of anything beyond routine to occupy it . Workmen , again , having in general a fixed position and income , and hardly any expectation of ever rising out of it , are not under the same temptations which the masters are , to pursue a frugal and self-denying course , and to cultivate
character . Human nature has not such fair play in their case . It wants the moral land-marks , heacons , and paradises of reward which are planted around the course of the master . Generally speaking , tile Working men of a country will be of the average intellect . Here , then , we have tiie ordinary grade of intellects placed by a mere social arrangement—an institution of man ' s making—in the circumstances least favourable to moral development and edification . And does not the actual state of matters tally only too well with these assumed causes ? There surel y can be no offence in saying that while there is one class of workmen , such as our own
here assembled , who conduct themselves respectabl y , and actually are at this moment tending upwards , there is a still larger class who give themselves little trouble about decent apnearaneas , or anything beyond the gratification of immediate sensual wants . I see the condition of this class , and also such causes for it , that blame on the general point is out of the question ; we must feel that wo are called upon , not to rebuke or condemn but by subtracting the cause , to abolish the effects . YVe m-iy preach for ever about the want of foresight and prudence mthis class , but till we place them in favourable i „ ste-. d of unfavourable circumstances , we shall make no creat progress in their reformation .
0 . My idea is , that through the general progress of the nation m moral conditions , and the partieuiar progress of the working classes them selves , not even excepting the least iiossible section of them , we shall in time reach a point when the Indepenile . it worker will advance into something more di gnified still . He will pass into a newphase , as much in advance from the present as the present is an advance from the retainer , or the retainer from the slave . I foretell this change , because I have such a faith in the reason and benevolence comprised in our nature , that I believe every error in social polity , and every obstacle to the perfect harmony of man with man , must in time he removed . In the new state , the workers would need to have a more particular interest
in the success of the concerns with which they are connected . Their application , their skill , their good behaviour , would need to depend , not on the present inducements , which I think inadequate for the generality hut on their sense of their own particular interests ' . Their fate should be , like that of masters , expressly dependent , and that to the minutest degree , on the way they acted . Thus we mi ght expect their moral and intellectual being to be ful-y developed . The condition of masters , or directors of labour , would also be improved ; for though there might be less of mere command , there would be more of mutual kindness , and all harassment about the duty of the worker would bo spared , as each man would be a master ' s eye to himself .
7 . As , in order to attain this means of a large advance , there must in the first place be a certain lesser advance through Jhe operation of weaker causes , lye are not to

look for any change as to be immediatel y realized , excout . perhaps , in partial experiments under unusanU y favwj £ able circumstances . Men are naturally prepossessed for what t « , -In preference to what only might be . flor can they be instantly forced by any arguments out of EUch prejudices , We must wait for time to imbue tlitni « i & better views , or to replace the old and impracticable , v ; tI , new and better men . We must wait till the workmsn themselves have , through external moral means , besn fitted for entering upon improved arrangements with their musters . Patience is necessary ; for the life of n , g individual is in no relation whatever to the chronology of great moral revolutions . But is there not much iuy , _
meantime to make this lingering endurable ? Every . where throughout Britain , the a ^ tontioii of the w intellects it arrested by the condition of themasses , £ v ; . i . are seen and acknowledged . Men , without regard t 0 party or sect , express themselves with kindl y sjmpim ™ regarding the sons of toil . The use of any ungracious language towards them , such as statesmen and wits j „ dulged iu fifty years ago , would now bo resented bv all * Measures are in contemplation for practical improvement ' both in tliepliysical and moral state of the working . ^ * It may indeed be said that the condition of theso cla ' sunr is the great question of this age : it is one which sot-ins
likely in a little while to absorb all others . Can we tile „ doubt that the present system of things will , in the course of a few years , he visited with at least great ai « tiiora . tions ? There is here , surely , some consolation for the ' eom * plaining parties ; some reason why they should sit not altogether without trust and hope under the evils which they feel to be besetting their state . Even in that general moral advance which distinguishes the present age , u , may read the promise of better things for themselves d it is impossible that society at large coidd be much more hvmu ) , tsedthanUis , and pel admit of the present unsatisfactory re lattons between the industrious orders andthe red of the L " munity .

8 . 1 havenowdeliveredmyselfofthe thoughts „ . ]„ „) ,, for some time been in my mind with regard to tw ' ,. tiou and prospects of the working classes . To some u ! £ will appear visionary ; to myself they might have done so a few years ago ; but men are forced , by circumstances emerging in the courseof time , to modif y their views . I have thought it best to come frankly out with these ideas ' such as tht-y arc ; for , so presented , they at least convey to you a true sense of what one person , and he one to whom such matters are not new . has concluded upon with respect to a great question , I miifh , IJltMore , hv agidng for my speculations that toleration which I am myself willing to allow to all those wht » think with sincere good intentions , and pronounce with candour and courtesy .
How unlike the philosophy of the famous—or rather , ...-fa mous—tract , " the Employer and the Employed , " is the philosophy embraced in the above excellent address . An admission of a fact is made in the first set-out , which the tract was written t 0 deny ; the existence of a cause of discontent »' ,, i workers , even in the most " prosperous" of times : in other words , that the SHARE of the workma n is far from what it ought to be ; and that he ought never to rest contented until such social arhaxgemea- ts are brought about as will secure to himself a more erpii table " SHARE" than he at present receive- ;
In paragraphs , Mr . Chambers takes a just- view of the present position of the worker , in contrast with that of the " retainer , " and again with that of the " serf . " Viewed in relation to piiogiibss , and as a necessary step towards something better and hi ghci : than the world has yet seen , the workers * present position will bear advantageous comparison Willi the two former states from which they liave passed : hut viewed in relation to actual condition ; to comfort and amount of care bestowed on them , the contrast is nota favourable one . The tio of interest h the
condition of the " serf" and the " retainer , " has been snapped ; and interest now isto ^ ii- « «* Uttle as can be helped , regardless of the fact whether the amount given will furnish food and clothing , or not . This is one of the evils that has attended on tho present development of the "independent" system -, audita cure is to be sought , —not in a return to " scrfngc " or " retainer-ship , " but in aiming for that higher development of "independence" which will not leave any one class at the mercy or under the care or absolute control of any other class .
How well does Mr . Chambers put his point , in relation to "individual protection . " Eiciy < w . sumption of isdivioual protection is a DEGRADATION to the protected . How true ! And what a way does that sentiment go ! If " no human being has a right to act the part of protector towards another , " no human being lias a right to legislate for another , or exact other obedience from him than he is free and willing to give . In that one sentence is embodied the whole political philosophy relative to the rights of man . Would that it were universally recognised and embodied in practice ! we should then see a far different social world from that which now offends the moral sense !
In the fourth paragraph wo have the rem . qvjf . stio . v , as it affects the workers , opened out . Parties talk of the evils of immense accumulation on one hand , and of bitter penury on the other , as inseparable from the social system ; as bound up in our "high state of civilisation ; " as necessary and irremediable . "The error proceeds , " says Mr . Chamburs , "from treating the present position of the worker as a final one—as if thk svstkm of HIRE were a thing so perfect , that it coidU never be changed for anything che . " This is the error : and the pointing out of that error by Mr . Chambers is of itself a proof that a knowledge of that error cannot long be absent from the minds of all who are forced from position to consider the question . Groat credit is due to Mr . Chambers for the boldness he has displayed in
thus going to the root of the evil . The question of HIRE has hitherto been most gingerly touched by all our political economists and social tinkers : for they have long been aware that in that question was bound up the whole of our present landed aud commercial system . Mr . Ciiambkrs , however , approaches it ; and even indicates the possibility of HIRING being dispensed with . Glorious anticipation ! May the knowledge necessary for its realisation roll on * ward , even as the tide of the ocean , till not a dry bone on the beach be left untouched . With the abolition of HIRE will go slavery of body : and till HIRE is so abolished , to talk of freedom in any other than a relative or comparative sense , is fo mock ourselves wilh high-SOUndillg pJaflSPS—wanting the substance .
This subject we commend to the attention of the workers themselves . In the above address they will find much which it behoves theiu to deeply consider . Let them particularly dwell on the faith ami hope expressed in paragraph 8 ; and let theiu take heart , and renew their exertions to bring about the happy period therein shadowed forth . Tho l ' tlmt suc " a faith has been avowed , and such hopes gir t" <* prcssion to , by one so influential in his dais , ougi "
to inspire them with new hope , aud lead to redoubled effort . The principles they have given life n » J bcil ! ° to , are thus seen making their way t imes 1 """ society . They have taken root even where we lw cause least to expect their a ppearance . 1 ^ aij workers therefore persevere : and the new I'l , asc ° progress , —as much in advance of the present system as the present is of serfdeni . -will soon mfliulesytscH .
