national trades * AssoctAixw , FOR THE PROTECTION OF INDUSTRY . " Union for the nation , " It may be trnly said that the present is an age of wonders . The «• signs of the times , " as manifested on Wednesday se ' nnight , in the large Amphitheatre at Preston , when our friend , Mr Peel , made his first appearance among the operatives of that town , as reported in our columns last week , must indeed be regarded as indicative of improveinent . It would occupy the space of volumes to describe efficientl y the protn-e&s of civilization between a company of feudal nobility , squirearchy , and gentry of the olden times , assembled in that theatre under the presidency of oue of the noble chiefs of the house of Derby , indulcing their aristocratic ¦ { I — ' —
tastes in the unrefined and inhumanizing pasture of cockfighting , and the company of operatives who were present in the same theatre , on the first appearance of our friend Peel , to hear his explanation of the objects , form of organization , and mode of proceedings , &c . of the National Association of United Trades , as an institution of the present time , which is intended to be an instrument of promoting aud effecting a moral regeneration among the working classes . The contrast between the scenes of the olden times alluded to and the meeting in question , is almost as wide as can be comprehended in a comparison of serai-barbarous ignorance and progressive intelligence . The author of " Fancy ' s Dream ' had some such contrast as the above in view , when [< ' [ ' ! ' i I' I
he wrote the following stanza : j " As the heralds of knowledge and civilization j Advance on their march from Equator to Pole , i Their progress is marked at the grand celebration ' Of the famed ' Feast of Uensun and full flaw of Soul . ' Tills banquet is held in the Temple of Reason , Gods , muses , and grates , and spirits attend , ! Wiih joy they record the events of each season j That wisdom promote , and morals amend , "
There is , however , this excuse far the barons of the olden times , that the barbarous practice of cock-fighting was hi accordance with the spirit of the then present age . Apart from that and similar proceedings , many of them were ornaments to human nature , when compared with ? ome of their order of the present day . While the wcrkina ; classes were kept in a state of vassalage , their necessities were abundantly provided for j rise aged and sfilicted knew no want , domestic comfort was the lot of all . The semsbarbarous feelings that prevailed were the effects of their habits of life . Reseutraent towards tlwse who were considered enemies was deemed expedient from motives of self-preservation and general defence , ? Hie horrid deeds that were committed
were perpetrated on avowed enemies exclusively , and were regarded as deeds ef valour and bravery . To their dependent vessak and nei ghbouring peasantry , the feudal lord « were hospitchlc add kiud , aud though the tcssuIs did not enjoy domestic freedom , they wore , nevertheless , comparatively a happy people . Their good conduct -vsts dul y appreciated , -rcrA every encouragement -ires-given to such bshaviotir as was considered to lie of a meritorioas and'cemtnendabie character : and . as rewards for such
tonduct , many vassals were emanci pated by ' Using presented with their freedom , which . place&them ¦ in a condition of self-Hrctaining independence . Such ¦ treatment to faithful -servants is not very general in the present age . 'There are reany worn-out workmen whose empkyers have accumulated fcr-• tunes'Trtrile they were in their service , and who , on becoming superannuated , probably by premature deaay from the effects of their labour , have-received ! io other attention than a recommendation to the notice of the Poor La « s Guardians .
italing , therefore , into consideration the -circumstances under which ihe nohil'ty , squirearchy , and gentry , of the olden times were surrounded ^ their patriotism philanthropy , and hospitality was generally much greater , it : proportion to their education andcircumsiauces . than is manifested bv many of the : £ ame classes at the present day . A pinch of carry powder may be very savoury , and-a dUh of swedisb turnips may be better than a-prolonged fast , to a starving man . ; but , with all ( ill ; :-deference to those of our raodern . aristocrats vftc are so cotsiderate as to contrive such food foe the ;; oor , we prefer the antiquated - diet which history records > vas 'Jwfood 01 the j .-oor b the olden times alluded tc , -vk . bread , meat , foretellmilk .
, beei-, &c . Tie distracted state of society daring the civil commotions of formcr-agss placed all- - .-classes in a position of defence .: civil war was the order of the-day . aud the cultivation « jf scmibariiarous fcelinge was the unavoidable consequence . Ikcar cusemeut of csek-fighting was . iti : accordance with those feeliugs ,-which practsee , cruel and disgassing as it uuqucMionabl y is , is Jess revolting to human nature than many of the-cold-blooded , deliberate practices , ! sy means of which thousands of r human victims are sacrificed by , premature death , brought on ; % the misery , disease , unhealthful dwellings -and places of employment , imwhulasmne and iiiskiTcient food , maul ohsufficient ciothing , and iuedien' attention . w . ith a nume : ous
train or etceteras , -which are tka tiivert .-K . nd immt-dk ' e effect of Jok \ wages and ui-urbitant profits . We unhesitatingly-ss 2 , that , with ihe csecpiion of domestic liberty , the cun ! . 'iu ; m of a very great jironurtion of the vurxing cla-scs has never been improved since their emancipation froju feudal ra&sakge . The abject poverty ^ which millions of . working people : aavc been subjected from want of nnplnyweut , , low wages , anc numerous other evils consequent upen their condition in life as tocietv is ,
and h&srieen constimieC . since the time . alluded to , is a much jnore miserable situation than : hat of a vassal of ihe olden dees . During the ^ Mi"eral wars in-xhieh Britain has been engaged in that time , the working men were ever winjecled to leave their homes to fight the country ' s batges . either by land or s-a , Mhkh placed many in a condition israrse than a etcte of vassalage ! .-Even those who were so fortunate as to be employed , had the taariificarion to S"e ihat a great { jcroporiioa of their . earnings -were crested ' from them . by means of hegry taxation imposed ou every article of life without their conseiri , as few of them bad
a voice iu representation . Ttey were exax siveiy taxed aud iniufijeienlly paid for " their labour ; their liberties also wore very insecure ,. and often curtailed by meaus of class legislation , from enactments of combination laws ., a shackled pr « s , &c , &c . The effectual improvement of the condition of the working classes nav « - has been a subject of serious consideration cither to the legislature or to those classes who profess themselves to he the con-crvatore of the community . Laws have been enacted to protect almost every description of property , except labour , on which lite viui interests of & £ * working
classes exclusively depend . Such were the Corn Laws , ihe repeal of which J * as exciter ! so much interest of late years ; such , albo , arc the Navigation Laws , the present legi-lauve inquiry into which , even now . excites general interest among ali shipowners iu Britain . We offer no remark , either of approval or disapproval of the principle of the Protection Laws ; what we seek to shew is , that while property and profits have been considered ever dc-Etrving of the fostering care of Government , and of every class of conservators , the equitable compensation of labour has ever hern totally disregarded by the same characters .
A \ e are not unmindful that , tie emploj uent of labour is consequent on the protection given to some kinds of property aud profits , &c . ; but it is optional with the manufacturer whether the labour he reqnircs is performed by machinery or by manual labour , if both are practicable ; ' whichever is the cheapest will of course be preferred , and it rarelv happens that the consumers obtain any more than a trifling share of the benefit . It is therefore no difference to a working man
whether lie is deprived of his labour by the use of machinery , or by the want of protection to the branch of trade to which he belongs ; so far as he is concerned , the goods manufactured by machinery might as well be manufactured by the inhabitants of a foreign country . It may be said that if it was not for the use of machinery , British manufacturers could not compete with forei gn manufacturers in foreign markets . This may apply to the manufacture of goods exported , which point we concede , but it does not apply to homo consumption .
If the interest of the working classes was any consideration whatever in the matter of protection , at the time when Protection Laws were enacted or amended , why was it limited to the competition of foreign manufactures ? Why not apply the principle to machinery employed iu the manufacture of goods for the home market ? The Excise Laws were equallv as applicable to machine-manufactured cloth

However useful machinery may be , by making it available to increase the operative power of a counj try , we contend that when it has the immediate and direct effect of throwing thousands of operatives out ! of employment , and of reducing , to a considerable amount , the earnings of tens , or perhaps hundreds , of thousauds , it oughtnotto be introduced reck ' . ! s ;) y i and indiscriminately into the labour market without I suitable provision being made for those who are lua ' to suffer by its use . j We can appreciate all the advantages that ha I resulted from the use of machinery , and we freely ' admit that , for the manufacture of goods for expor' tat-ion , its use is indispensable for the purpose aliove alluded to—of enabling British manufacturers to ¦ rtT ... ... - _ - . .. . ~
| ! ' . compete in the foreign markets with foreign niauu' facturers ; but for the home consumption , we arc not prepared to admit that its unlimited , unclassified , and untaxed use can be equally defended . The working classes have long groaned under their oppressive grievances ; they have sought for redress from the legislature , aud have EgitatCil the expediency of such political changes as would pro-: duce to them an equitable share of representation in . Parliament ; in doing which , they have ken . iustru' mental in creating a new order of the constituency , composed principally of the very parties who aic their greatest oppressors , viz .: the employers , by whom their wages are inefficiently paid ; awl the shopkeepers and traders , whose enormous profits , in : many instances , tend to increase excessively t ' . ifi price of numerous articles requisite for their domesticcomforts . Thev have however discovered , thai while
hey justly complained of excessive government ta . \ - tio n , which amounts to about £ 52 , 000 , 000 a year , hat the amount of excessive profits , and the dift'eiince between the amount of wages paid and rceived , and what in equity and justice o . ight to he iaid and received , amounts to several hundreds of nillions a year , —they have not nor will nol lote ig ht of their political interests , but they are deiernined to pay more attention than hitherto thc-. y lave done to their domestic interests . For this mrpose , such lecturers as our friend Mr Peel is learlily engage iu communicating to all who may lear them , whether in the Amphitheatre of Preston > r elscwlierc , the means which are practicable , and rcithin the reach of all , to aid and assist in grappling with the monster evils of poverty , disease , aud crime , and whatever else results from ill-compensated labour . Those means are the peaceable union of the million , and the indefatigable operations ol the National Association of United Trades .

The minutes of the previous meeting was rend and cbriSrraed ; the financial accounts read and received . After an immense inura of correspondence wis r « u ! frem all parts of the country , the question of Messrs Stocks and Tait of Stookport , bleachers , having again come umler tho consideration of the central committee , in consequence of that firft having GUI-red a , ieduction of twehro-and-a-haif percent , in the ; va » i's of the men , Mr Parker of Manchester , tiie society ' * a ^' ent . having had an interview wirti the principal of that firm , who refused to withdraw the offeral reduction , the central-committee decided the men should give the nccessRvy fortnight ' s notice to leave their employ , the men having been work'ng under protest during tbe negotiation .
