      Factory Question. The Discussion Of This...

      FACTORY QUESTION . The discussion of this important question of domestic and ( . ¦ ommereial policy _hns been revived by the very parties who have most of ali decried its agitation . For some monfhs , since the unsuccessful attempt of Government , at the instigation of _llie MiU _owners to undo what they had previously done for ( he protection of the children , the _qncstion lias been at rest . The operation of the present Act is , no doubt , attended with some inconvenience to tbe Masters , for whielt , as a . body , they may tlrank themselves , and have therefore no _right to comp lain ; uud though the portion of the Act which . _pToteefb children under thirteen from more thai ! eight hours' labour has beeti shamefully _evaded—though doctors and _indpectors Lave _combined with the _mitmifeefcurers to defeatits operation . —though to our certain knowledge , hundreds of children have . been certified thirteen years of age at eleven—though we know that the _jn-ni- , _tore have practised the utmost forbearance

      towards offendingMill-owners—though they lave , in some instances , even withdrawn their charges after having preferred and proved tiipm before the magistracy , rather than subiait the _resp _& tpbie culprits to the inconvenience oi' punishment—though we know all this , and _chough the friends of the factory child and of Immunity have known it Iong > and witnessed with _biirniag fecliuge the disposition of tlie whole crew to render nugatory and _useless the just shield thrown over _helplesn innocence by the law ; _they _sttilL determined to give the law a fair trial . We have thrown no obstacle in the way of flic working of the law . Our only complaint _, lias been th » t BBflieieat vig _ilanc-f 1 was not used by those whose duty it was to carry it into operation . We had , in-¦ doed , as was well observed by a speaker at the Hudderefield meeting , great reason to suspect the sincerity of the Government in their professions of desire to protect the Factor ) - Child when we saw the extreme latitude of construction allowed to the law iu many instances- —¦ _conplei with'the _tiirdinnss anil evident resolution _, of tlic well paid functionaries in its enforce meat . But wheu we found a base conspiracy on foot to get altogether rid of this partial interdict on child murder \> y « side wind . We thought it time that we should again bestir _oni'selves , that we should unk _ilie -people of Yorkshire and Lancashire whether auy new lig ht had been lee in upua tiiis subject which should cause them to espouse an opinion , ihe direct converse of that wliicb tliey have _liitlierto holden as the

      result of bitter and sorrowful experienci ! . We thonght it right to enquire whether any new argument had been recently adduced which proved that to be healthful , and _inmifetit , and . beneficial if J 837 , which hail been denounced in _lt ' - _'iS ns _murdurous . and horrible , and destructive by authorities whose competency was fully admitted ( and who were , in point of feet , appointed ) by the very parries who now labour to reverse their decisions . The people nobly answered inir enquiries . The meeting at Leeds a short * tiine ago bore testimony to the determination of the Factory operatives , that no new law for tho more effectually slaughtering of their "Ettle ones shall be enacted . At Hudderafieldy last Monday evening , a _. _similair nuaiitcstijtion of -public feeling and opinion was displayed . Tiiat large building , the Philesopfcical-hull was eranraied to overflowing with au-n ( itidwoiueiiof _allranks and grades from , the first rate merchants and manufacturers to the poor Httle picoenera , and we never witnessed a more _beautiful disof orderl but determined

      play y , peaceful , _feeilng than was manifested by that meeting . The vast assemblage . seemed f <> Stink and speak as one man : on the several speeches it j a unnecessary for us to comment , as they _sre-given at great length , in another portion of the paper . Suffice it to say they are worthy of the men who delivered tiiein , of die audience , before whom they were spoken , and of tbe cause hi _which theywpre spoken , and that they give the fullest and the roust satisfactory contra diction to _thestrangely sophistical reflections of _onr hononrable eon temporary , the Leeds Merettry on the subject ! which reflections , however , we cannot allow to pass without some litile . Further tittle parley . Our contemporary in bis f reflections" on the Leeds meeting , is p leased to say tiiat " the existing act , _reconimendod b y the " Royal Coininission" is seemingly _apjirowd of by Mr . HOHSOX , and tfae Gtner speakers , who led _tSie meeting to so erroneous _conclusion , " It is somewhat difficult to aeleraiue whether the _approlwfierf of of Publisher and bis _friendg is

      our here referred by our contemporary , to tho ** existing act , " or to the " Royal Corumissiou ; " in either case we must beg to apprise him tUot he labours under u mistake , a mistake into wliicb wo cannot avoid feeUns some litde ivoiidor that he should have _falleu . We believe that few men in Yorkshire liaye been more permanent in the discussion of the Factory Qaesrion than Mr . HOBSOKf , onr worth y Publisher , and we ask the Mercury to shew us any single act or word , either of Mr . HoBSON , of ourselves , or of any other _recogm 7 ed' friend of the Tkn HOURS ' CAUSE" that can be fairly constraed into an approbation either af [ be ' -existing act" or of the "Royal Commission . " Did we not invariablprotest against the " Royal Commis

      y - sion " as a wantoa waste of the public money —as a foolish mockery of ( m enquiry into that wluch vfim already known , and as a wicked artifice to procrastinate a ri ghteous measure ? Did we not from the first _denouce the " existing act" as a piece of dishonest jugglery _innended to sicken the people of al ' Fmctory Legislation , and ko to put down the _Btraggliogs of the helpless infant against its iron-hearted and villain-charactered oppressors ? Did we not always denounce it as a humbug measure which would never work to flie satisfaction of any party P Did we not from the first deolare that they who procured its enactment would be the firs 1

      . to seek its repeal ? Let the world speak , before whom our speeches , our _resolutioBs , our _petitious , onr remonstrances , our tnpniorials , and our firmly expressed resolves have been laid , times without number . Let the world , we say , testify whether the heeds Mi / _rri _/ _ri f does us justice in affirming that WS seemingly approve either " the xistiug act , '" on the " Royal Commission /' Our opinions upon the subject are identical with those of our publisher , Mr . Hobson , as delivered in his speech at tlie Leeds meeting , and therefore , in attacking him , * the Mercury attacks us , and we hold ourselves bound to- give him the information , that however unintentional on his part it may have been , his _insimmtiiius ari ! untrue . Bnt Mr . _MofiSON and the other spankers ed the meeting to " a most erroneous tidndusfon . " They induced the meeting to _souelude that children of eight yeara eld were too vonug to labom , mi that children _iif My age ought not to labi . mr tayre _tlmii on hours ihtily _, exclusive of reerention , rest , _ind food !! The writer who could suppose t . possible for Mr , Hobson and other _speakers to lead a meeting of English men _jnd winin'ii Id a conclusion lite _tlus mast have previously supposed tliat they were _iljing to couelude tiiat iniants of ei ght , -ears were able to endure excessive toil , and hat , in the words of that strange libel 011 _ldjnan _ftppeaHBicft , Mr , Wrig 6 l £ S _\\ - orth , _hildi'en of eleven years are us well able o endaro eleven hours' dnily . toil , a full grown man ; and the

      writer who could suppose a large meeting of English lathers and mothers capable of this ; must have estimated l / ieir natural affection rud sensations by the demoniac quality of his own mind . We are unwilluig to believe hat our contemporary is actuated by nay tlicr than the kindest feelings towards his _fellgw-ereatares , and we _mtiql therefore , in nstice to our opinion of his benevolent nd kindl y disposition believe that ot the moment when he wrote this base Ijbcl on he _hunitui character , " _Ricliard was not Himself . " The warm feelings of the man had , for the moment , been displaced by those if tlie coW , calculating politician , or _rather 10 Iitical economist who sees nil tilings swimming in the narrow circle of his own conracted _vision . We mast think that reason had for a brief period left her seat , and dis-. ppciintcd _anger had made ruthless havoc _imong the tools of onr contemporary ' s inellectual workshop . We are yet more horougllly convinced of this when we find him afterwards asserting _that—¦

Fortunatel y , it is needless to replv to this . The exertions of the Leeds Old Short Time Committee , as well as ; hose of all the other Old Short time Committees in the conntry are too well known o need recounting . Every body knows _hirt that _theae active and excellent bodies iiave done great service to the public , but nobody , except the " _Merrrir- y" has mj idea uf _tlieir wishing ti > inflict 12 _htrara lubour . pou their _follow-mea , much less upon little _chilil-« a .

      One contemporary goes on ( o furnish other and itill _mnru _conclusive testimony of the lamentable ihmatiou mukr nlitch alouu tliis article conld have _jeen written by one so humane—so _benevolent—so ueical ami consistent , and so generally _clcnr-lieadad is ire know our contemporary to be . lie _tnya " We ¦ : ee it stated lhat Mr . _BakEh , the _Faclorj' Super- utendent , has promoted _tlie _£ propo _? ed ainendintQt . '' rVe hope thid is true ; and if such be the fact , we _iu-b _couvinced that he could" not have fuIKlled thL 1 _functions of his important -office in any way more _tnmourable to _liimself , or Biore kind towards those whom itis the dntyof Factory Inspectors and _tlmir Superintendents to serve and protect . " Now wo itre quite sure tlutt _, at any other time , our excellent contemporary would have seen the duty of Mr . . BAEnK , as a Factory _SuptrinreniWnt , o he _i ' _. i : it of enforcing the _luiv against its violatorsrf _attt-uding to the iuWr *» J _3 of _wliojuhi _! was appointed t" protect , _infitt'iij of winking at the _violators i _> f the princbplo ami even _tht letter of tlie law ; and _intriguing with _tlioxe who wished to get rid of iW _aunuymice- 'tb throw _overboard it _^ _protecdon 'to _tliose _hi-lplues _iufants of wbosc lives and interests _, the _Litthi' made him a _mos tub worth ; guardian . - We bave no _doulit , _hewever , that ery now our contemporary has recovered frorn this fit of mental indisposition , nnd is , enabled agaiu to givehis _nativii kiadlieart and _. clear head fair play . Indeed we are aure of ihtH because we have bail the inexpressible gradficadoa of seeing his . sign maniiHl affixed to a petition for a good and efficient " TEN IIouhs ' Bill . "

      This is as it should be- Good men Kbouid aim at ibe _satae object , and their efforts are then irresistible . We congratulate our contemporary itiost cordiall y on the spirit maulfestad by the _Huildersfield meeting , in furtherance _af that same ! object for which we have so much pleasure iu recognising bim « _s a brother petitioner .

      Tho tone which the men of Lancashire aad Yorkshire have assumed upon the all-inipor ? taut question of labour and capital , and _thStr firm resolve to do their on-n work will we trust , iustil some spirit into the Whig-ruUlsn working raeu of the Metropolis . We chdleng them to action . We ask them for wo _^ k not words . They are a century behind us . What they talk about , we do . What tb _. ey leave to others , we do ourselves . While they throw theniBnlvesintn thearmsof Aristocratic leaders , we in Yorkshire and Lancashire wish to wee the work done by the people themselves .
