. TO THE EDITORS OK THE NORTHERN STAR . Gextlzmek , —Perhaps yon wDl have seen ic the -Leeds Tunes the question of machinery discussed , betwut an operative and a parson who signed himself "M ; " - and probably you will have perceived in-the latter person s letter , inserted in the above paper of the 10 th February , that he complains that the operative has omitted to answer several points , which he had called npou him to do in a previous letter , inserted in the same paper , -of the 6 th January . I have endeavoured , in the following letter , to meal toose poink ; whether successfully , or not , I wished the pubhc to judge . The Editor of the Xeeafc Twies , however , has refused its insertion , and calk rt fair play : I think otherwise , and . consequentl y , beg the favour of its insertion in the Northern Star . _ , ' ,, , , A * OPERATIVE . Gildersome , March 27 th , J . S 38 .
To the Editor of the leeds Times . ^ " ¦ ' ~~ After all , it appears that the calamities which have overtaken tue poor operative are but a dream ; that his shoe pinches not , though the foot blisters in its imprisonment ; that to speak of his miseries _ a < realities , is to endanger one ' s veracity , and to involve one ' s self in endless contests aud distrates . JA opponent has noticed , ic the first paragraph of his last letter , three several omissions , of which 1 have been guilty in my reply ± o his first letter .
First omission . —1 have not shown that the extraordinary increased population , in all the great seats el . our staple trades is consistent with my notion , that the use of machineryJessens the demand lor labour . Aow , if 1 could prove that this increased population in the great seats of our staple trades were copsstent with my notion , I do not know that it wotild materially -affect the argumentin my favour . 1 wall , however , endeavour to account for these preat gatherings of the people into such enormous masses . iJefore machinery was introduced , all ODr manufactures were managed onder the domestic system , and distnlrated over a great extent of country . In those tmies the operatives had very few reasons of com
plaint that were not -derived from their own misconduct ; and a steady industrions workman was conadered by his master as an acquisition ; times in wtochnomaawiaaBvpretention to character , relative toikffl m his caffing , ever snffered from want •^^ ° ' 7 Skent- BBt * te age of machinery arrived ¦ with the steam engine ia its van , and gave to the capitalist , besides the benefits of the merchant , those advantaVes , which , as society was constituted , properly belonged to that portion of the people , the remnant of which are new caBed domestic mauufeefcrare . What has been fhe result ? The anniial ^ on nearly of that once useful body of domestic maoBfactarers , and the- . removal of all & * ± labonr
ont of the country of -which they were the . dispensers ,-to those receptacles of « ce , whidi ^ wr- opponent calls the great seats of onr ** & % ¦* && ; Thither therefore the laboureii whjc ^ Wto&re peopled oar eanntry . villages haw rtSSbi ^^ f ^ l ^* " mother pSriioniof toe people 6 f aless fixed , and more raried character , the ot&pnBgof every ccrunty in the three kingdoms J / men ¦ tor - necessity ; arismg from want of work , these degtitote wretches repair to these great seats of out staple faades , as their forlorn hope .

Nothing and furniture pawned , and debts incurred . Disease caused , increased , and prolonged , by the wantot all that promotes convalescence . I have no heatauonin saymg , ihat an xmsuspected amount of munan ^ existence , must be annually sacrificed in tbis and other great towns from simple and absolute starvation . " 2 nd . Omission .--That I have not attempted to deny , that the enormous increase in the importation of all-kind ; of- raw materials need by us since 1801 . conpled with the greatl y diminished cost of every kmdof wrought fabric , estabKRhes my opponent ' s position , that machinery , by lowering the price of goods , increases the consumption , and thus corrects its primary tendency to throw workmen out of employ . I believe that the importation of all kinds oi
raw materials , has greatly increased in their amount since 1801 ; but deny that the consequence ofthis increase , is an increased demand for manual labonr ; because a ristin the demand for 3 uch labour would certainly have advanced its price , which , is well known not tol > e the case ; for the fact is , that manual labour haa suffered a great reduction ,- in the midst of all this increased consumption of the raw material . Therefore if we may be allowed to judge , by the established rule , that abundance lowers in pnee all marketable articles , and that a senrcity advances it , my opponent ' s position is false , relative to increased importation of the raw material and cheap fabrics being the cause of a greater demand for manual labour . If this had been my opponent ' s osition
p , that the great increase of oar importations conpled with the introduction of machinery had exalted our great manufacturers , at the expense of the labouring community , by enabling them to supply the world with such an enormous supply of cheap fabrics , comparatively , with the assistance of so httle af manual labour that a reduction had taken p lace in the operatives ' wages , so serious as to have involved them in the greatest difficulties and distress ; be would , 1 believe havebeen muchnearer the truth and ranged himself ou the side of all the facts of the casP' T ^ at cheap fabrics benefit certain classes of society is a palpable truth . But who and what are they ? Not , I - presume , the poor operatives who work eighteen and nineteen bours a-Ua ' y , and once or twice a week night through for , from 4 s . Gd . to 7 s . a-week ; with them the purchasing of cheat ) fabrics
is clearly ont of the question . It is the foreigner , who reaps the advantage of cheap fabrics ; and in onr own country men of iixed incomes and high salaries ; the fashionable world , who ride in chariots , to fancy balls , in fancy dresses , and who interlard the public prints with their representations of French Counts , Highland Lairds , &e » , while the poor wretches who create the-menus of all this parade and outlandish pomp , aTe shivering iii their hovels , perhaps without fire ; in rags , that scarcely can be said to cover their nakedness . No doubt , if the amount of the reduction of the labour , could be ascertained , which go to the furnishing out , of all the grotesque costumes , and dashing fopperies ' of a fancy ball , and the injustice and robbery of such reduction could be fairly brought home to the consciences of such assembly , it would be -enough to redden their faces with shame . °
" Third omission . 1 have not accounted for the astonishing additions made to our fixed capital du ring the last 40 or" 50 years , in roads , canaK railways , mills , and machinery , on a different theory to that advanced by iny opponent : viz ., that rnacliiuerv adds to the whole produceoftlie capital : md labonr of the country so greatly , fiat after providing fur the ordinary and sufficient supply of our daily iiation : il wants , it enables our capitalist to sink the surplus in the various objects enumerated . '' Now , has mv opponent , really , the . hardihood to include in this daily national provision , the want * of the great body of the labourers of this kingdom , and to say- without a blusa that tiie supply Ls sufficient ? I know that a cnld calculating self-interest , led" on by ambition ,-is capable of freezing up the better feelings of human
nature , and burying all the nobler impulses of the S ° i ! c " i - the a P atbetic ton » b ^ it were , of thick ribbed ice ; and , however relurtaiitly , I can scarcely avoid attributing my opponent ' .-: reasonings and re " - sults , to amindoftlds charactpr . He appears to look upon machinery with all the enthusiasm , that a young and ardent lover looks upon \ m mistress and wnh the sainerecklessn ^ sof eonst-q-K'nce . ^ is detPimint-d on possession , at whatever rost to others . Pherpis , however , thisdiflfereucein the comparison ; that the accomplishment-of the . design , in the hVt instance can only ailect -one or two fiunil ' . 's but ln . th- secon-1 all the families of the working pon-¦ ulntion _ Evui'Killy speaking , are deeply injured . Hut t .: is s-.-enis to hu of do couseijiiMi /' e , no cop . ^ ideratinn at all .

u > ransack the globe , aad disturb the qniet of the world In bygone day ? , the sword was the instrument by wlr . ch nations were subjugated and robbed ; but our modenishave found machinery to be far better for the purpose th » n % ven the sword . Tor , instead of our aspirants having to wade to wealth through the bi .. i » d ul its owners ,- machinery with its pnmjjs and suckers , does the thing quietly and neatly , with a sort of legerdemain . It slioots lvjlmdy throngh hie head , spits nobody upon-tin : point of tlic bayonet , biows nuLu . i y t » the jik . oii by sap and ihire ; but performs all its Lksting operations in ( H ) . 'n ' dav , and all seems to go on as if there was no robbery at all . In the cotton branch tlie robbery oftliobr . n-Uloom weaver , owing to th-j introduction of ii ; acliinery h : is been enormous . The evidence of Joseph Foster , with others , before a Committee of tin- House of Commons , which 1 introduced in my lnst letter , proves tiiat tin-hacd-looin cotton weavers waee « . in
Glasgow , Larhsle , Manchester , Blackburn , anil of course m all the other seats of the cotton branch , have bpen pulled down 15 s . per week . In . the worsted branch , Wilkinson ' s letter asserts tliat wages bad lowered TO per cent . In corroboration of this person ' s statement , 1 shall take the liberty of intro - ducing to vour readers , an extract from ' an article headed Keighley in the Northern Star . A committee appointed to investigate the condition of the hand-loom w « aveis in the parish of Carlton-cam-Luhersdale , have published the following statement . Vi The number ofhouses visited were 181 . containing 1 , 100 . inhabitants , and 438 cotton anil wasted looms ; 117 of the worsted looms were fully or partially employed , and the average amount earned bv
their 11 / looms for the last ninemonths , is £ 27 . 2 s . 6 d . which , when £ IS . 1 / s . 9 d . the amount of rent , fire , candles , soap , andwear and tear of looms is deducted , there remains £ 8 . 4 s . 9 d . to be-divided amount 300 persons , amounting to sixpence three farthings a bead , per week , for . food , bedding , and clothes . Relative to the woollen branch 1 have to say , that 1 am perfectly satisfied that the statement given in my last letter , namely , that the wages for spinning and weaving had falle ' n fifty p *> r cent , was under the mark ; and that this fall has taken place within the last twenty-five years . It will be seen by the following fact , that since " the introduction ofmachinery . the woollen weavers' circumstances have _ greatl y deteriorated . An ag ^ d
weaver , who occupies a dwelling in a row of cottages , in one of which I reside , was an out-weaver fifty vears ago for Air . Lees , of Halifax . The work . was bronght into the neighbourhood by -the employer . Since I commenced writing this letter , I have asked this aged weavvr how much he could earn per week under Mr . Lees . Hin answer was short . The web came to sixteen shillings , and I could weave one easily in four days . There is another weaver , in the prime of life , who . also occupies a a dwelling . in the same row , and ig now an out-weaver for a factory not far from the Commercial Buildings . This person does not average six shillings per week , deducting from the price of the web the expense of carriage , sizing , and winding . In the former case
, milk , which is now eightpenee per gallon , was then fourpence ; butter , at half its present price : meat , from three-pence halfpenny to fourpence per lb . and all other eatables in proportion . 1 shall now take . an extract from Mr . pielden ' s letter , inserted m the Leeds Mercury of the 20 th January . After refemng us to Fleetwood , Burns , and to Dr . Price ' s work . en Reversionary Payments , where it is shown thatm the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries , that the common labourer received for twenty days ' labour ., a quarter of wheat , and other necessaries in proportion , he tells us , thathebelieved Dr . Pricecompiled his reversionary tables for the use of Mr . Pitt , and that while writing on this subject , he made the following just and striking observation : —• 'fhfi

LONDON CORN EXCHANGE . Mark-Lane , Monday , Apuit 23 . During the past week the weather has been excessivel y cold , with , violent gales of wind mostly from the north-west , accompanied by showers of snow , hail , and rain . The quantity ot Wheat . " oh . sale thismorning from Essex , Kent , and Suffolk was to a moderate extent . There wi ; s a limited supply of Barky , Beans , and Peas , from these counties for this dny ' s market , with only a short fresh arrival of English and Scotch Oats , but since Friday several vessels have arrived from Ireland with Oats . Fine fresh thrashed Wheat met a steady sale , at fully the rates of this day se ' nniuht , and other sorts were in moderatt ! demand without anj variation of value . Good marks of ship Klour were in request at last week ' s currency ; doubtful , aamples met a slow sale . There was no change in the prices of malting or distillinsr Barlev . but
irrinilmg rtoscriphons were the turn dearer . Malt was mucii the same as last week . Beim . s met a free sale at an improvement of Is . per quarter , and all sorts of Peas were fully as dear , with a steady demand . The late cold and unseasonable weather has caused a better country demand for Oats ; no decline was therefore submitted to on account of the vfesek from Ireland coining on demurrage , although a good addition \ ms made to the quantity on sale b y fresh arrivals this morning , and our dealers -were rather niore disposed to purchase , seeing them taken off the market b y country buyers more freely than « as > -un'ticipatiid . On the whole a lair extent of business was tranyacteil , at fully the rates of this day se'hniglxt for all sorts . Tha arrivals cf foreign Cloverseed haviu ( j ; been estengive for the clortj of the Reason , stiles luwe been pressod ftee \ y , nnd -. it various prices , th « average decline on Ted must be considered 3 s to 4 s per cwt .

There was not much passing at our market this morning , and priocs have undergone little , if any alteration rfrom the currency of this day se ' nnight . Holder ^ ' of selected q > . ialities ofEiighsb , as well as Irish Wheat , firmlv demanded the previous rates ; hut stale and inferior parcels might have been purchased on lower terms . The inquiry for Flour was chiefly Jbr present consumption , and late . prices barely supported . The trade in Oats or Oatmeal was languid , and 26 s . b"d . per 24 Olbs * was an outsirle quotation for runs of the latter article . Malt arid Beans were in steady request , at last week V rates .
