The Working . And Middle Classes. The Sp...
THE WORKING . AND MIDDLE CLASSES . The spread of Chartist principles , which has already led to so great a change in the House of Commons , is exemplified by the fast increasing adherence ofthe middle classes ; an adherence bought by no balf-way meeting—but , surmounting prejudice and folly , caused by the constant teaching and schooling which the middle _^ class has received at the lips of Democracy . We have frequently , in these columns , elucidated how the interests of the
shopkeepers and tradesmen were identical with that of the working man ; and if , diverging from that of any class , it was the great capitalist who grew rich first , by the centralisation of trade in _a-few centrepoints , and then by monopolising it when thus centralised . It was long before the middle class appreciated ' f his truth ; they did not do so , until their incredulity led them into difficulties ; until they saw monopoly , by degrading the working man , depreciate home trade ; until consequent bankruptcies and insolvencies preached the Charter to them across their
counters . Without their aid , however , the working classes have achieved their present strength ; nay , despite their opposition ; and now that the middlemen are coming into the field , their union will doubtlessly accelerate the victory . That union the Chartist body hails with delight ; while to obtain it , no concession has been stooped to , no concession will he made . In resisting class government , in subverting class ' oppression of one sort , the people are not disposed ta shift the rod from one hand to another ; therefore , they refuse to abate one iota of
their rights , or to mutilate the Charter hy one infraction of its demands . The union must he freeequal—independent—for that question which is rooted in the people , can only be carried by , with , and through the people . The recent elections have fully exemplified this . The middle classes have been enabled to seat men in the House through Chartist support they would not have heen strong enough to have returned single-handed . That support , again , they received , because they acknowledged the popular right , end pledged themselves
to its furtherance . They must not , however , confound this with their own strength . What good was done by both combined , could not have heen done by the one alone ; and they must also recollect , that the people are rapidly growing in power , as co-operation and organisation are giving them social importance and political weight , while they ( the middle classes ) are actually decreasing ia both , as central capital is superseding local trade , and foreign
speculation _deadening home enterprise . They must recollect it is the popular might wbich has enabled them to say and do those things now , when tbey are at last joining the popular ranks , which would have subjec ed them to imprisonment some few years back ; and to use Mr O'Connor ' s powerful language , as applied to Mr George Thompson at the recent soiree in his honour , "Legalised their honourable member ' s sedition , and shrouded him with the royal clemency of Chartism . "
This is the work of the people , not ofthe middle class , who remained inactive or hostile in the hour of trial , and are now nnable alone to achieve the victory in the hour of triumph . Nor are they up to the mark , or equal to the exigency of the timethey still talk of temporising—they still talk of waiting—they are afraid of too rapid a union with the Democracy—they ask the people to pause , to spare their coy and bashful feelings—without telling us when we may hope for the day of union * , that day , when , to quote from the same memorable speech—«« The gentle giant will gently clasp the trembling hand of the tremulous , pale , and pallid , bride .
However , much is being done—middle-class orators are now propounding our doctrines—and will vainly strive to forget they are enunciating lhat which we taught ia years gone by . The union between the two classes is fast approximating ; but it would be absurd for them to name a distant day when tee should become worthy of that nnion , inasmuch as it is they _who have as yet but half learned OUR lesson , and are slowly progressing towards that height of political knowledge the people have long obtained . And was not this result natural ? The middle-men , though posse sed of superior
wealth , yet lacked the practical schooling of the working man . The Labour question—the main question ( as far as social polity is concerned ) of every state and age , was to him obscurely visible through the outer casing of the state-machine . But the working man was in its heart—it was his power that made the wheels revolve—he was the living spring of its machinery—and applying his natural good sense and mind to the task , obtained a clearer insight into its working , than the other , who , rivetted by an easier , though engrossing ; occupation , caught but a superficial view of tbat agency by which he lived .
The time for such unions fixes itself—it is when mutual self-interest designates their necessity . That time has arrived . We hail it with pleasure . We receive our allies with open arms—but we never will lose the individuality of our principles . Middle class Chartism must be working class Chartismmust be NATIONAL CHARTISM-or it is nothing . Whenever Universal Suffrage is propounded —whenever the People ' s cause is advocated—it resolves itself practically into a People ' s question . We mean , it cannot be handled independently of the people . This was forcibly illustrated at the
recent Soiree in the Tower Hamlets , of which a report will be found in another part of our paper . Tbis meeting was in vindication of Chartist principles , and at once became a Chartist meeting . Those who _eodearoured to treat it as a middle-class demonstration at once found themselves in a false position , and were obliged to abandon the attempt . The _aHusioa to tbe Principle forced them to allude to tbe Cause—and the Cause to the great Moveme _» _t-Par ty-the PEOPLE . A mighty truth cannot le confined to a class , lis advocacy may originate with one ; others may take it up ; they cannot absorb it to tfiemsely « s ; each class will derive

benefit front its _propagation' ; hni the people -must never again fall into the error into which they once have fallen : letothers fight _; Meir battle , and yet hopefor victory . ,, . ;• Now , more than ever , watchful energy is required . Victory is often mow easil y jeopardised at the conclusion , then at the : commencement of-a battle ; and while we thankfully- welcome all the support we receive , we draw our own ranks closer together , see that our arms be iu order , and a good look out kept for the movements of the enemy . We havehad enough of entrusting our cause to
the care of others—henceforth we work foV ourselves—nay ! FOR ALL ; since we seek no eKcl « _- sive benefit founded on an injury t _» any other class or individual ; hut since we believe the distress of one section ofthe community affects all others , and the welfare of one ( _tchesi lawfully and honestly obtained , ) must , in the same way improve the general prosperity of the whole . Let , therefore , none think to take the People ' s cause out of the People ' s keeping . Let , therefore , all rest assured every effort for the good cause shall be appreciated , every honest ally welcomed and honoured , aud every just interest advanced and respected .
STATE OF THE COUNTRY UNDER FBEETRADE . The Free-Trade Press has ms . de the unsolicited return of Mr Cobden , by the West Riding , and of Mr Villiers , by South Lancashire , after their reelection by their former constituencies , at Stockport and Wolverhampton , the theme of frequent and triumphant comment . According to these authorities , these double returns , coupled with an increase of the number of Free-Traders returnedj and the general declaration of the Protectionist candidates ;
that tbey would give the late measures a fair trial , prove that the public mind is completely made up on the subject , and that , whatever party may be doubtfully constructed , or deficient in ' strength , in the New Parliament , _Free-Traders have nothing tn fear , they are certain to possess all the necessary power for carrying out their -views to the fullest extent ., Already the other portions of the venerable edifice of Protection , which yet remain , are marked out for destruction ; the points of attack have been selected the forces are marshalled , and the victory is anticipated to be neither doubtful nor distant .
This is a gratifying position . for a parly to occupy in one aspect , but it is a very grave one when looked at from another point of view . The possession of power implies commensurate responsibility . If the Free-Trade party are in future , really to control the destiny of the country , and to regulate the _productive and distributive departments of British industry , it must be on the ground that they can do so better than any other party , and that the benefits
of their policy shall be enjoyed , not by certain favoured sections of the cotnTunity ,-but by all . 'They will not , as formerly , have the landed , aristocracy , and the Protection system to fall back upon as an excuse for disappointments or failures . That ground will be cut from under them , and the error will be attributable either to the principles on which they have proceeded , or their own selfishness , or ignorance in applying them .
Tbere is little in the present condition of the country to afford any cause for triumph or certainty to the Free Traders , either as to the past results of their measure or their future consequences . We have no wish to be unjust , or to deny a full and fair trial to the measures of the last Parliament . Perhaps they did , as was asserted hy their defenders ; materially mitigate the severity of that calamity through which the nation has just passed , lt may have been too much to expect that , in the face of high priees ( caused partly by a real scarcity of food ,
and partly by the nefarious dealings of speculators in the prime article of subsistence ) , the virtual repeal of tbe Corn Laws could effect all the mighty and magically beneficial changes in the condition of the people at large , which the orators of the defunc t League were wont to promise . But , granting all this , there are still many things to be accounted for , in connection with the late season of suffering and scarcity . We used to be told that the value and advantage of Free Trade would mainly be found in the fact that foreign countries would bring us their
corn in seasons of scarcity , and take ou * manufactures in exchange , so that the introduction of a large quantity of foreign grain into the English market would be equivalent to a large increase of employment in the manufacturing districts . Our factory operativesi at all events , were to have plenty to do , and , as a consequence , high wages , hy the very process which brought cheap bread to their own doors , from the shores of the Danube or the banks of the Ohio . Such was the specious and pleasing theory . What is the fact ? Why , that instead of taking our
goods in exchange , our foreign customers have taken our gold ; and , as by Peel ' s currency syst cm the Bank is obliged to have a certain amount of that metal in its cellars , to meet demands , it has been obliged to raise the rate of discounts , to refuse , in numerous instances , its accustomed accommodation to those engaged in the manufacturing and commercial business of the Kingdom , and has thus stricken the industry of the country with paralysis . It may he urged by the Free Traders that they are not responsible for the conduct ofthe
Bank . True . But they ought to explain the hitch in their own reasoning , which forced the Bank into the adoption of a couvse which has had so fatal and injurious an effect . Why did our foreign customers preftr our gold to our goods ? The answer te that question will , if we mistake not , solve the difficulty to a considerable extent . When Mr O'Connor said , in his speech at Nottingham , that he would " vote that gold shall not bear a permanent value of £ 3 17 s . _lOjd . an ounce , " he hit the right nail en the head . If we are to deal with foreign countries on anything like equitable principles , ' or wish to introduce justice into our domestic
relations , so that , as Mr O'Connor said in thc same speech , " the salaries of the ministers , judges , placemen , and pensioners , shall be according to tlie value of manufactured goods , and wages of the country , " we must effect a change in the currency . Ifthe Free Traders are true to their own principles , they cannot maintain an artificially fixed price for gold , and the system of leaving every other com . modity to find its natural market price at the same time . The two things are incompatible , and if the former he persisted in , must end in entailing widespread ruin on all the great interests of this country .
Leaving , however , this question—which is too extensive and important to be discussed incidentally —and reverting to the ractieal working of the Free Trade measure during the late crisis , caused by scarcity of provisions , it must , we think , be admitted by all , that they were , as far as they went , a signal failure . To whatever causes that failure may be attributed , there can be no dispute as to to fact . But a new phase of events now presents itself , and , as yet , the boast * d panacea of the League seeras utterly powerless for good . Agaiti the predictions ofthe theorist and the actual results , are at variance with each other .
Oneof the most abundant liar vests , and _afthe same time , of thft best quality , which has for many years been seen in this country , has just been _jamered .
The Working . And Middle Classes. The Sp...
Ihe _priced p _rions rf _JJIJU- _^ S _^ _- _^ constant 8 ep « ts _^ b 6 unteou 8 icrops _^ he markets show a _octant tendency to decline . , _15 ow , however thi « fact < taay affect the . agricultural _mttrest-( _aquestion into which ' we dp not , now mean to en ter ) _-4 bere'is one effeetwhich ' , ' according to the political economy taught by the League , H ought to have had . ' . One of the most , prominent articles of their creed was , that cheap and p lentiful seasons with
were _^ ' < i _^ ye co _»«< rrenf a pro sperous siaii V ' _cf _mantifacinriny industry , so much so , indeed , that they appeared to stand to each other in the _relaUon of cause and effect . , In proof of , this , they had a long catalogue of years , in which this intimate connexion between abundant _harvests and busy factories were found to _co-exist , and it was inferred , nay prophesied distinctly , that the abolition of the duties on the importation of grain by throwing open the markets of the world to England , would tend to produce a permanent law , or at least an equal p rice of food , and consequently promote , stimulate , and maintain prosperity in manufactures . '
The premises have heen realised , hut the inferences have not yet followed . We have got the plentiful harvest , but the " plenty to do and the high wages , " which were to be concurrent with it , have not made their appearance . Instead thereof , the most melancholy accounts reach us of thestate of the ... manufacturing districts , and at the very moment when . it might have been expected that the members ofthe defunct League would have heen setting their partially worked mills to run the full time , they are _ahsolutely talking of stopping them entirely fora month , and resuming work afterwards at a reduction of five per cent , from wages ! There is a sad blunder in the Political Economy of
these gentlemen somewhere , and it may not be deemed , under the circumstances , presumptuous to express a doubt whether , if they are followed implicitly in the New Parliament , or have , as they say they will , all their own way , they may not ; after all , prove to be blind guides leading the blind , and that both will fall into a ditch ,, from which it will be very difficult to raise them . That doubts as to the infallibility of that creed , which has heretofore been reverenced with unquestioning veneration , and defended with all the zeal of a devotee , are beginning to creep in , even amongst the highest circles of its believers , is evident from the remarks of the Manchester Guardian , which precede the resolutions for a general suspension of < . work ,
passed by the operative cotton spinners of Lancashire , _whichjwe give elsewhere , and to which we beg special attention . The Gua rdian not only publishes these resolutions , without sneering at the ignorance Of the working men , but intimates its approbation ofthe proposed suspension , as the only way of getting rid of the surplus stock , and bringing about a sound state of things in the market 1 It significantly alludeB to the beneficial results , as far as buying and selling was concerned , which followed the stoppage of all the mills in August , 1842 , when the whole district was in a state of insurrection , and taught by that fact , sees in the suggestion . of an amicable stoppage , a feasible means of restoring prosperity to manufactures , after a brief period ot suffering caused by the temporary cessation of work .
But all this , let it be remembered , is totally opposed to the doctrines of fashionable political econom and only serves to show how false , foolish , and injurious the system is , which inexperienced word * mongers , and self-seeking profitmpngers , havo built upon its so-called principles . What a strange mode of regulating the industry of a country , to work our operatives night and day , at wages which barely suffice to procure a subsistence _^ one time , and then ,
when this excessive toil has glutted the markets , to throw them idle altogether , to starve , subsist on the poor-rates or on charity , until tbeaccumulated stocks produced by over-work are cleared off ! As the Scotch say , the system seems to be productive of either "hunger or _aburst . " Voluntary cessations of work or violent _insurrecti ins , causing terror for the safety of the district , and necessitating the employment of a large body ot troops to repress outrage , and preserve order , seem to be its only safety valves .
Yet . the very people who are driven to these conclusions , and who look complacently on the prospect ofthe swarming thousands of Lancashire being left to all the exigencies which must arise from being thrown entirely idle ; who can think calmly of the smokeless chimnies and silent machinery of the hundreds of mills , in whicii tens of thousands are doomed to labour for subsistence , were , and are , the greatest opponents , of the Ten Hours Bill . They have been accustomed to stigmatise the Chaitists , and the supporters of the claims of Labour to a fair '
remuneration for a fair day ' s work , as revolutionary and destructive . Who are the" Revolutionists" and " Destructives" now ? Those who advocate tbat men and machinery should only be worked fo r such a time as may be _compatible with health and prosperous cotntoerce , testing on the natural demand oi the market ? or tliose who impair health , ruin the constitution , generate a sickly puny race , and increase mortality by unnecessarily protracted toil _. and at other time * , as a consequence of that mischief , cause another by endangering the security of both life and property on a large scale ! Will Mr John Beioht , _^ the honourable member for Manchester , and the determined opponent to the Ten Hours ' Bill , through all Us stages , answer this question 1
It is well for the eountry that thero are men sent to Parliament , who have both the will and the power to expose the _hollowness and thc popular delusions which have so long been palmed off upon the public as truths of the most undoubted character and highest importance . The parrots of the Free Trade movement must he taught , that " There are more things in Ucaven and Earth than are dreamt of in their philosophy . " That the machinery by which arge exchanges may be forced , and large fortunes made by the few , does not necessarily include the comfort , health , prosperity , and happiness of the
many , and that in future , every Ministry , and _overy Parliament , and every Institution in this country , is to be tested by its power of producing this result . It may bo hard for them to learn thoso lessons , and to find in the moment of thoir fancied triumph , that the finish of their past exertions , like that of the Dead Sea , hut and tempting at a distance , crumbles into ashes at the touch ; but to '' err is human , " and if thoy only exhibit a teachable spirit , abate tbat airoganco of demeanour which led thera to consider every man who differed from them either an ignorarauB or a knave , and thev themselves as the
very perfection of political wisdom , all may yet go right with our Froe Trade friends .. But they must not bo dogmatic . Neither must they exercise their ingenuity in explaining away facts , or avoiding conclusions . A candid confession that they were mistaken that they took too narrow a vein of the subject , and left out of sight most important elements in it 3 composition , will nave them & great deal cf trouble , and materially hasten the solution of our national difficulties . Itis quite clear that as yet
they have miserably failed , and wo accept the acquiescence of the Gtmrdian in the scheme for improv . ing markets and wages by diminishing labour , as _n symptom that they are teachable . It is a virtual , recantation of one of the _firstarticles ofthe Free Trade faith . Hereafter , if we mistake not , they will have to confess to more errors , and that tho political economy of tho Northern Star is , after all , bettor calculated to make happy homes land prosperous times , than the theoretical crotchets of closet philosophers-counting-house patriots .

LEGAL .

In order to carry this arrangement into eft ' ect , I have to request that , in future , all letters containing law cases may he addressed to mo at No . i 8 , Queen ' s Road , Bayswater , London ; but letters which relate to any other than legal business to bo addressed to me , as heretofore , at the Star office
The imuwr . se number ot unanswered law cases now before me , renders it absolutely necessary to prevent , if possible , the sending of any more for the present . In order the better to prevent it , I beir to state that till tho cases now before me are finished ( of which due notice will be given ) , all law cases will be returned , unless accompanied by a fee of at least 5 s .

Has the will been proved , and if it has , in what court -and year , and by whom ? '
Hannah Arnold , Leicester . —You are quite at the merey ofyour creditor : thero is no way by ' which you cai . prevent his proceeding against you but by paying the debt ; and should he lie harsh etiou _^ li to proceed , you must state your bad circumstances to the court , and it ( the court ) will no doubt order yon to pay hy easy instalment * . Robert Pitt . —If yon take out administration to miniate father with the will annexed , you may recover the leasehold property from the present possessor , as yonr mother had no right to sell , I think tlio notice to quit given by your landlord , Thomas Hodges , was nut a proper one , and I cannot discover on what ground the Small Debts' Court ordered you to give up possession : my _a-lvice , however , is that you submit rather than get into _iurtiicr litigation . John Davis . —At law the money belongs to the persons to whom the security was given ; but tliey are
compellable to account for it to the society . If the town-crier is a legally appointed officer , with perquisites belonging to Ilis office , no one can interfere with liim . S . Adams . — Witiiout seeing t' / . e deed you speak of , ova copy or abstract of it , itis impossible for mo to say whether you could recover the meadows or not ; but as it would appear from your letter , that it must be a great many years since the deed was made , aud that _iiona oi your family have ever boon' in possession of the property , ; the probability , I think , is that there is little or no Ukelili ' ood /> f your being ablctorecover . it . John G . Snaith . —In what year did 'the minister of the _p-trish'givo the notice you speak of , and in what year did J nines Coward , your father's half cousin take posses . l sion ofthe property , and in what year did ho sell it to Mr Cooke 1 I havo frequently desired that clients would give dates ( by which tliey would save me a gre . it deal of trouble ) but not one in twenty pays the least attention to my request .
