THE NORTHERN STAR SATURDAY , OCTOBER 9 . 1647 .
Sound Political Economy Illustrated. The...
SOUND POLITICAL ECONOMY ILLUSTRATED . The question at issue between the National Land Company and its opponents , is one of so much importance that it cannot be too frequently urged upon public attention . It is one which , in fact , lies at the very root of national prosperity , or the contrary ; and at
the present moment , when England is passing through a commercial crisis , which , in the words of the-Times , "in some respects surpasses the most disastrous in the memory of man , " it is a matter of vital interest to every individual in the community , that the means by which the recurrence of these severe and calamitous shocks to the body politic , should , if possible , be discovered , and put in operation .
In previous articles on the subject , we have preferred to support and illustrate the principles on which the Land Company is based , by practical examples taken from other nations , and vouched for by unexceptionable witnesses , rather than to bewilder our readers with columns of abstract theorising in answer to the crude and incoherent crotchets of the sect of so-called political philosophers , who oppose a minute subdivision of the soil on principle . The cases of Norway and the district of Angermanland , in Sweden , to which we have already directed attention , may , however , be objected
to by these self-styled philosophers , on the ground that our authority , Mr Samuel Laing , iB an opponent of their theory , and may have unconsciously given an undue colouring to the facts he narrates as the result of his observations in these countries . We merel y put this supposition for the sake of argument , for we are not aware that in any case Mr Laing ' s facts have been in the slightest degree disputed , much less confuted . But , admitting that such abias did exist , we propose , by citing an authority which will be admitted by the Malthusian Political Economists and Free
Traders themselves , without dispute , to show , inthe concluding words o [ our article last week , " that the connection between the general subdivision of the soil , and general prosperity is essential , not accidental . ' ' Some years ago , Mr C . J . Synions wrote a book entitled " Arts and Artisans , at Home and Abroad , " which made a considerable noise in its day , and was of no small service to the writers and lecturers ofthe then infant
Anti-Corn Law League . Mr Symoni was one of the assistant commissioners , appointed to investigate the condition of the hand-loom weavers ofthis country by tbe last Whig Government , and was subsequently sent on a mission of inquiry into the relative circumstances of the artisans of France , Belgium , Austria , and Switzerland . His hook was evidently tbat of a partizan , and written for the support of a theory , the starting points of which were , that the land of Great Britain is insufficient
for the subsistence ofits population ; that we are naturally destined to be entirely a manufacturing people , - and that , therefore , we should eat foreign bread and provisions of all descriptions in return for which Foreign Countries should obli ge us by wearing British Manufactures . Like all other writers of the same school , Mr Symons saw nothing but ruin if we did not make this " the workshop of the world , " and cause our population fo be dependent on the demand for our manufactures in foreign markets . We endeavoured , atthe time , to show the fallacy of these assumptions , and time has singularly verified the statements
we then made , as we shall shortly take occasion to show ;* by an article on thesubject . In the meantime we propose to put Mr Symons into the witness box , and to examine him as to the effects of a general subdivision of the soil , and the carrying on of agricultural and manufacturing operations by the same parties . Of the countrie s visited by Mr Symons , Switzerland is evidentl y his favourite . He recurs to it again and again , and dmvs some charming pictures of the comfort possessed by its labouring population . He _stren-i uously endeavours , as might be expected from his bias , to connect tbis comfort with his peculiar notions about Free -Trade and the
Sound Political Economy Illustrated. The...
Corn Laws ; but he reveals sufficient of the , operation of other more powerful md hotter ! substantiatedj causes of such effects , to give a ! consfit-enoug h notion of the truth , andtaform ; another clear link in the chain -of reasoning ) already presented to mt readers , to prove thej position , that so far from a nation depending : _on-others for food—the staple necessary 'iff ¦ l ife—the true method of < e * isui . ng success and-. prosperity is , to apply _lahour to the develop-, ment of the internal -resources of a country , _iby diffusing landed prqperty among the masse s of the population ,: and to make _agriculture ' their priwapal— -manufactures their _^ ond ary— occupation .
Mr Symons himseff-seems aware of this . on several occasions , tmd also that the deductions drawn from their « eond ' rtion , are totall inapplicable to the condition of tiie operatives in ¦ Ms country , Wbo live . under a different _system . He says—T : he pecuniary amount of _^ ages is at all times a fallacious index to the real-condition of tbe labourer . Sn " _" . _witzerland it is peculiarly so , owing to the very great subdivision of the land * and the intermixture of agricultural and artisan operations , a < vast number ofthe working-olassefl producing their _nwn atihsistanee .
_HSiese words , which open-one ofthe chapters ¦ oa wages in _Switzerland , aptly describe the _posftion in which the _shareholders of the _Nati & nalLand Company warlike placed , when put in possession of their -respective holdings ; and at the same time give a perfectly satisfactory explanation of the causes of "the eminently happy and prosperous -condition" of the Swiss—a condition which no mere amount of money wages can ever produce- As a proof ofthe truth of this assertion , take the following description of the hand-loom weavers , and the great body of artisans in
Switzerland—It must he here remarked that hand-loom weavers , such as we are . accustomed to in the North of England and Scotland , who work at _their-looma from morning till night , and from January , to January , there exist scarcely any in Switzerland .. ! Tbe handloom weaver of . Switzerland is almost universally , either an agricultural _servant or himself the proprietor of land . Even the very journeymen work at the loom , only when their labour could be less advantageouBly employed out of doors . The almost
wfiuitesBical division ot land and . the immense number of small proprietors , added to the frugality ofthe Swiss peasant , snd his general desire to possess land , renders weaving , for the most part , a secondary occupation , resorted to at least by two-thirds ofthe whole number of the families in the country districts . ThuB , in speaking of the weavers , I speak , in fact , of the great body of the artisans . Here then is a picture of the practical results of this system : —
The Canton of Appenzel presents ths maximum of prosperity and contentment among the peasantry of Switzerland . I had a favourable opportunity of examining them , while visiting my venerable friend , M . Zellweguer , to whose eminent phiiantrophy the Canton chiefly owes its superior welfare , and to whom Switzerland is indebted for many of those well-appreciated principles ef political economy and social government which signalises her among the natwns of Europe . I visited many of the cottages of the artisans of Appenzel _. and
was invariably struck by the high degree of ease and _peacefulness they exhibited . The _coftages of both these Cantons are scattered separately over the vales aBd hills , each standing in the midst of its little estate , with the goats or sheep , with their melodious bells to tbeir necks , grazing on thc land which is generally pasture . The interior of the cottages , whieh are built of wood , are cleanly beyond description , and are well furnished with every article of cottage comfort . Mr Symons continues : —»
Low indeed would be the condition of the Swiss artisan peasant were his payment his sole means of sustenance . Bat there are other means , whereby the careful observer may readily supply the absence of pecuniary criteria . The evidences of a well furnished and roomy house , ample meals , excellent clothing , and superior education are sufficient to testify the exceeding difference between the mean ? and the money earnings of the Swiss artisan peasant But still surer indices of a ahigh physical prosperity an » legibly written on the rosy cheeks of each
cottage child , and in the happy countenances and robust frames ofthe adult arti-ans . We need do no more than ask the reader mentally to . compare these comfortable wellfurnished cottages , ample meals , excellent clothing , rosy children , and robust , happy artisans , with the hand-loom weavers of Lancashire , and the silk weavers of Spltalfields ' and Bethnal-green . The difference betweeii a true and a iVse system of political economy is so obvious , as exhibited in the totally opposite results , that it is unnecessary to do more than suggest the comparison .
Mr Symons proceeds to show that it " would require thirty shillings per week , in the neighbourhood of any country town in England , to put a man , his wife , and three children ( two of whom shall be above fifteen years of age ) in the same condition , and in all respects on a footing with the average of Swiss peasants having the same family , " and furnishes a detailed statement of the outlay of this thirty shillings by theEnglish family . The only exception we have to his estimate is , that there is too much allowed for beer , and too little for tea , coffee , and sugar . The sum total , however , will not
be much affected , and it certainly places the family in a position , as respects food , lodging , and clothing , far superior to that of five-sixths of the working classes of this country ; for even if we admit that a greater number than one-sixth receive the nominal wages of > thirty shillings , there has to be deducted broken time from sickness , want of employment , and other causes , together with many calls upon the purse , arising ont of residence in a manufacturing town , where prices are generally higher than those taken by Mr Symons as the basis of his
estimate . The result ot the contrast is , ; that Mr Symons places the working classes of Switzerland "far above the standard of comparison , either as respects their physical or moral eminence , with any other people in Europe . " "Thefather of almost everyfamil y is a proprietor of land . " Agriculture forms the basis of national industry ; manufactures , mechanical and artistical occupations constitute a secondary and subordinate class of employments ; and both are performed by the same individuals , who unite the rural and artisan character and
skill . As usual , we find that an abundance of physical comfort produces superior morality . It is very singular that this great and important fact , which , in the consideration of ' such social and political phenomena , is constantly thrust upon the attention of the student , should be so systematically disregarded by those who have the ordering of affairs , and who . profess themselves to be extremely anxiout about ; the
morals of the nation . Ifthe Saints of Exeter-hall , for instance , were to abandon for a few years , merely by way of change , their Bible , Tract _. and Missionary Societies , and devote the funds now expended in their support to the formation of societies which would give to famishing sinners plenty of loaves , beef , mutton , pork , potatoes , tea , coffee , sugar , home-brewed beer , coats , trousers , shirts , hats , boots , comfortable warm houses , we suspect they would make a greater inroad upon the Criminal Calendar in one year , thau they now do in fifty . We have Mr
Svmonss testimony that "The Swiss are in ail points regarding general morality , superior to any other community . " Mr Laing gave similar testimony as to the moral condition of Norway aud Angermanland . The facts stand to each other inthe relation of cause and effect . The superior morality recorded bv these travellers , is the result of abundance of food clothing , shelter , and a good education which , are again attributable tO the general _possessionofreal property by the people , the intermixture of agricultural andmanufacturinff operations , and " every body _beintr _orodum- _*
mere _oeing no idle class" in Switzerland These constitute the secret of Swiss prosperity and morality . Bring the same elements into play , and they _. _^ ill produce the _^ ame _' effects anywhere . * We have not exhausted the storehouse of facts at our disposal , which substantiate this statement , but we _mujst stop for the present Enough has been given inthe meantime to enable the members of tl . e ; Land Company , and all impartial readers of ercry class , tojudge between our system of Politkk _Economy , and

It never -originated a single useful or original "plan for the benefit of the community- and with reference to such plans , when proposed hy others , has only shown itself as a fault-finder , and as the opponent of all rational and solid _progress Thank God 1 the workingclasses have outlived 'the time when its miserable and despicable
trash , full of expletives and coarse vituperation of everything and everybody , but utterly devoid of sense , can have the slightest effect . They have turned to other and better instructors , and however the Dispatch may fulminate prophecies—an exceedingly safe way of disparaging an opponent , especially if you take care to date | them a few years forward ; or coin falsehoods for the gratification of its spleenit will discover , in the continued decrease of its circulation , that its influence has gone , while the National Land Company , founded _. as it is , upon correct principles , will , we trust , under the indefatigable and honest management of its founder , become a general blessing to the working classes of the empire .
The Two Houses. For A Long Time The Hous...
THE TWO HOUSES . For a long time the House of "hereditary Incurables " has been iri a tottering condition , and whenever any part of the structure has showed marks of giving way , Government |( for it is , a Government house , ) have found it necessary to add a few fresh , stones to the structure , in the shape of Peers— -but it has been constantly found that these could not patch up its rotten walls . This House of Lords has been daily growing weaker , and it becomes , at times , even a matter of silent consideration , whether it ought not to be pulled down alto gether , as being dangerous to the passers-by on the public highway of progression .
It has , however , been very serviceable in its time ,, to —— Ministers ? For whenever the popular voice rendered it ( necessary , to come forward with some pseudo-liberal measure in the Commons , Government may safely indulge in these little escapades for the sake bf office , sure tbat the protective and corrective rod of the _Lordf would whip back the innovators from its .-bar ; or , at least , so mutilate the measures proposed that the subdomal parents would not be able to recognise their political offspring , while the country would remain satisfied at something having , been -- — - talked _ahout .
This fast-and-loose policy has , however , been played too often . That'House , which has so frequently before given shelter to Ministers on a rainy day , is ceasing to be weathertight . The blasts of popular indignation are beginning to blow through it , withering its power ; while that old trap for Liberals is baited with less luscious baits , as the false distinction of caste , the gewgaw-glitter of title is falling away before _thecomrnon-sense of Democracy . A Peerage was the last bait for an outrageous Liberal , who had swung himself up to the requisite price , by obtaining popular power . A Peerage is losing its attractions ,
as Manhood points to Virtue—Labour J o Cooperation—and Justice to Equality of Rights . Thus , every day , while the popular element keeps rising in the scale , Representation gains in importance , hereditary legislation falls into contempt . Before , the Members ofthe House used to be almost all the unblushing nominees ofthe great . Now , the House is—not what it ought to be—not a reflex of the people ' s mind , not an exponent of the people ' s will , not an assembly of enlightened statesmen , not a council of honest representatives—but an altered body , in which some elements of truth
have been introduced . It is in a transition state , and as it has gained in honesty by the introduction of some few ( very few ) good men , so , too , has it progressed in power . A seat in the House of Commons is becoming an important thing ; it is no longer a school for placehunting subserviency to qualify for place-possessing truculence . There was a time in which it was this , and nothing more—a mere subordinate law-grinding machine , in the aristocratic Government-factory . Then it changed—as the people became restless and indignant—when false patriots got possession
ofthe popular heart , making it beat time to the march of personal ambition . Tbe House , at that period , became a sort of quarantine ground , at which those stricken with the " Liberal Pest , " were admitted to bide their time , in the " purifying'' atmosphere of Government influence , under the wholesome medecine of Government patronage , till , cured of democratic taint , they could be admitted into the immaculate citadel of privilege . But again , " A _ehanste came o ' er the spirit of their dreams ;"Disgusted with the deception of "Liberal
Leaders , " the people began to think of leading themselves ; the House gradually became less an auction mart of principle—the great hand of Democratic power keeps thundering at the door—aud startling the in-dwellers . into something like a show of honesty . Ay ' . so great is the change between the relative position ofthe Houses , tbat it is easier to gain a peerage than a seat in the Commons . This is abundantly evidenced by the fact , that the Whig Minister —the defeated of Nottingham—Sir John Cam Hobhouse has been wandering about unable to gain a seat , and the present purpose of Government is to give him a peerage ! Then , after all , though " fashionable members" may
cry : " The House is growing cheap , " since men without money for bribery , or other rank than that of honest manhood , can pass its doors ; then , after all , ihey find it growing dear . A peerage costs less than a seat in the Commons ! The former may , indeed , be bought by subserviency and broken pledges . Its price is easily obtained . Broken pledges and conflicting votes—constituencies betrayed and parties sold—backed by money enoughjto " support a title "—no matter whether wrung from the earnings ofthe operative , or clipped from tbe profit of _; a labourer—these suffice to buy a coronet . Nay ! in some cases Government will give the title and the money too , saddling the country , with pensions for three generations .
Such are now the relative positions of the two Houses . But the Commons , though somewhat improved , in condition , are still in a very dangerous state , and remarkably subject to a relapse , whenever any symptoms of amelioration present themselves . The great majority of the members are nothing more than patients that are , slowly mending under the strict regimen Democracy is beginning to apply —and there is this difference between them and Peers , that they are Curables , whereas the latter , as we all well know , are " Incurables . " Let the people look after their political patients . Let them not trust blindfold a professing Liberal , because he fawned for their
support before his election . Like the " before and after marriage , " so is the " before and after election . " Patriotism will die in highsounding , but unmeaning phrases ; CHARTER will be changed to " universa ri ght , " which , on their _iips , loo often means « universal humbug ; if the _psople mean to keep their repre * them _S ° e _^/ _^> % »«* Le fiS e £ _?

Honoured a d Worthy Sir , —TVe , tbe Chartists of KUbarcban , are strongly impressed with a belief of the determined perseverance of tlie minufacturing classes ( as well as the press ) to keep the name and
fame of Feargus O'Connor , if possible , out of public Tiew altogether . And the more so aro we impressed with tbis conviction when we are aware tbat tartan 6 have been , and are manufactured , and exposed for sale , bearing tbe names of most of the supposed patriots of tlieir country , including those of tbe notorious Bright and Cobden , but not one bearing the name of O'Connor . Such being the case , arid this being a weaving district ; vre kave resolved ( and . we hope with your concurrence ) , that this shall be the case no longer , but that every Chartist may wear an O'Connor tartan , if he or she wishes to do so . We , then , in pursuance of introducing an O'Connor tartan to the country , most respectfully arid earnestly request of you to promise to visit Kilbarchan , when on your tour through Scotland , and allow us the ho _» our of presenting j ou with a tartan plaid , bearing your much and justly honoured name . To make it really a national tartan , we have
introduced orange and green , the party colours of the two greatest parties in Britain and Ireland , Protestants and Catholics , blending tbe two colours together in the O'Connor tartan , as we hope those two great parties will yet harmonise and unite , for the attainment of their just and inalienable rights , aod that , too , through the instrumentality of the powerful and great O'Connor . We hope , therefore , that y » u will , for the _sako of the great cause of democracy , return _afavosrabls answer , as we consider the above course the must efficient to establish the tartan , that being the principle aim we have in view . — .

to the invitation forwarded to that gentleman , to be present at tbe Crown ond Anchor dinner , that' other engagements preclude the possibility 0 f his attendance . ' Now , sir , believing tbe metropolitan democracy well deserve the tre . it of Mr Thompson ' s company on that occasion , they are at a loss to understand his ' other engagements , ' that will prevent him attending such an important festival , and are of opinion that Mr T .

He says' I neifher can nor will hold myself responsible for sums that are sent to other people . Some send their money to Mr O'Connor , at _Lowbaads , some to the Star office , to Messrs Harney or Rider , and some to the Land office , where they have such amass of business to attend to , that letters for me are often put aside , and , lie perhaps a week before I get them . All this might be avoided by sending direct to me .

lehal . NOTICE Anxious that clients should not be disappointed , and the aumber of cases rendering it impossible for me to attend to all , I have arranged with a professional friend , equally competent with myself , to render me his assistance . I , therefore , request that , in future , all letters containing law cases may be addressed to me at No . 46 , Queen ' s Road , Bayswater , London _; but letters which relate to any other thanlegal business , to be addressed to me , as heretofore , at the Star office , since No . 48 , Queen ' s-road , is not my place of residence . I also beg to decline all personalinterviews , not having time for the same , neither can tbey be of any advantage to clients .
The immense number of unanswered law cases now befoVe 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 bee to state that till the cases now before me are finished ( of which due notico will be given ) , all law cases will be returned , unless accompanied by a fee of at least 5 s . Ernest Jones , George Smith , Earfsheaton , DewBbury . -I suppose Ann Lockwood ' s will has been proved in the Ecclesiastical Court . Her personal estate , I presume , did not amount to much ; and if not , her heir-at-law is the only person matenally interested in impeaching the will , whicii he would do by bringing an ejectment for the recovery of her real property . If the heir is very poor , he may sue _'l _' _n _/ _ormapoupe _»• _¦ _, nnd in that case the principal expense would be that ofthe witnesses to prove Mrs Lock-¦ wood ' s incompetency . Without knowing what tho
witnesses could say , and also witnout Knowing something about their characters and situation in life , it is impossible for me to say wbat chance there is of thc impeachment of the will beiug attended with success . It ( tbe will ) appears to have been drawn by a solicitor , and attested by him and hia clerk ; _aud'if they are respectable men , and should swear ts Mrs Lockwood ' s competency , it would require a strong body of evidence to upset the will . Was Mrs _Locltwood at tho time she made her will ( April , 1842 ) , attended by any medical gentleman ? If she was , it should be ascertained what he says about her competency . George Stephens , Staniforth-place , Hull . —Tho 7 th sec tion of the Small Debt * ' Act says , that proceedings which originated in any abolished local court shall be _eoutinned and enforced as if they had been commenced '
under the Small DebtsAct . The future payments ot the debt must , therefore , be made _according to the di rcctions of that act ; viz ., into court , unless the _iudire has directed otherwise . —See section a' 2 . b Benjamin _WxXker , Clitheroe .-In * ply to your note of the _Wrd ult , I may _stute thatyour papers came to hand , and I hope to be able to attend to them before long .

A _Constant Subscriber . —If the summons be dulv served , you may bo sued iu a London Small Debts ' Court . Should you be sued , you will have the costs as well ns the debt to pay ; but should the court be of opinion that you aro not of ability to pay nil at once , it will order you to pay by instalments ; and most likely to pay such instalments to the treasurer of the court .

Three witnesses . 2 nd , Ifthe person , whose name is signed as a witness to the will , should , on a trial , in which the validity 0 f the will was in question , swear that his signature was a forgery , and thejury believed him , the will would be set aside . I do not clearly understand , from your letter , whether this witness's name is signed as if he wrote it himself , or whether merely as a ' marksman , ' and his name written by some other-person . Youap . pear to be a reader of the 'Star , * and from jour letter not a poor man ; and yet , in defiance of th _« notice in the' Star , ' you ask gratuitous advice .

Jno . Cooee , Cossey . —You say there is a clause in tho will of Henry Cooke , that theproperty ' should never go out of tlie family of the Cookes . ' This clause . I sup . pose , has misledyou .

Wh . Smith Hakt . —You must pay the debt . It was contracted , I Suppose within the last six years . As , how . ever , the debt was not contracted by yourself , tbe creditor , it is to be hoped , will take the money by easy instalments . Robt .

Leek . —Should you obtain a judgment in the Small Debts' Court and put an execution into the house oi your debtor , and his son should set up the assignment , the court , I conceive , would hold it ( the assignment ) to be fraudulent ani void . Tho court , however , will most likely allow your debtor to pay by instalments , and if they are duly paid you cannot sue out _t-xecution . Robt .

J . R . J . —It is quite impossible for me to give any advioe respecting the claim set up by Mr Peiy . I am totally ignorant of the ground on which the claim is set up ; and also of that on which it is resisted . When the youngest child comes of age he may require the property to be sold as directed by bis mother ' s will . Unless there is a special custom tothe contrary , the three daughters were equally entitled to the property , and upon the death ofthe eldest daughter , her share descended upon her son , who I infer from your letter was her only child . The rest of your statement , about the family and the mortgage of the property aud the sale of it , is so confused that I cannot understand it . If it can be proved that there was money ia a box ofthe deceased _brother at the timo of his death , the surviving brother had best apply to a magistrate ; as the _caso
_wouldsecm to be a case of felony by the person with whom the deceased brother lodged .
