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 Angermaoland , in Sweden , to which we have alread y directed attention , may , however , be objected
to by these self-styled philosophers , on the ground that our authority , Mr Samuel Laing , is an opponent of their theory , and may have unconsciously given ; in undue colouring to the facts he narrates as the result of his observations in these countries . We merely 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 he admitted by the Malthusian Political Economists and Free
Traders themselves , without dispute , to show , in the-concluding words of 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 . Symons 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 of the then infant
Anti-Corn Law League . Mr Symont was one of the assistant commissioners , appointed to investigate the condition of the hand-loom weavers of this country by the 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 book was evidently that 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 of its 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 oblige 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 to be dependent on the demand for our manufactures in
foreign markets . We endeavoured , at the 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 showjjby an article on the subject . 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 sou , and the carrying on of agricultural
and manufacturing operations by the same parties . Of the countries visijed by Mr Symons , Switzerland is evidently his favourite . He recurs back to it again and again , and draws some charming pictures of the comfort possessed by its labouring population . He strenuously endeavours , as might be expected from his bias , to connect this comfort with his peculiar notions about Free 'Trade and the
Untitled Article
Corn Laws ; but he reveals sufficient of the " operation of other more powerful and better substantitive causes of such effects , to give a clear-enough notion of the truth , and to form another clear link in the chain of reasoning already presented to our readers , to prove the position , that so far from a nation depending on others for food—the staple necessary of life—the true method of ensuring success and prosperity is , to apply labour to the . development of the internal resources of a . country , by diffusing danded property among the masses of the population , and making . ' agriculture their principal—manufactures their secondary— occupation .
Mr Symons himself seems aware of this on several occasions , and also that the deductions drawn from their condition , are totally inapplicable to the condition of the operatives in this country , who live under a different system . He says—The pecuniary amount of wages is at all times a fallacious index to the real condition of the labourer In Switzerland it is peculiarly so , owing to the very great subdivision of the land , and the intermixture of agricultural and artisan operations , n vast number of tie working-classes producing their own subsistence .
These words , which open one of the chapters O £ wages in Switzerland , aptly describe the position in which the shareholders of the National Land Company will be 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 of the truth of this assertion , I take the following description of the hand-loom weavers , and the great body of artisans in
Switzerland—It must be here remarked that hand-loom weavers , such as we are accustomed to iu the North of Eng- < land and Scotland , who work at their looms .. from morning till night , aad from January to January , there exist scarcely any in Switzerland . The 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 adyamtageously employed out of doors . The almost mfinitessical division ot land and the immense number of Bmall proprietors , added to the frugality of the Swiss peasant , » nd bis general desire to possess land , renders weaving , for the moBt part , a secondary occupation , resorted to at least by two-thirds of the whole number of the families in the country districts . Thus , 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 : — Tke Canton of Appennel presents the 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 lor many of those well . appreoiated principles of political economy and social government which signalises her among the natisnB of Europe . I visited
many of the cottages of the artisans of Appeczel . and was invariably struok by the high degree of ease and peacefulness they exhibited . The cottages of both these Cantons are scattered separately over the valeB and hills , each standing in the midst of its little estate , with the goals or sheep . mth their melodious bells to their necks , grazing on the land which is generally pasture . The interior of the cottages , which 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 ; But there are other means , whereby the careful observer may readily swpplj 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 arp legibly written on the rosy cheeks of each cottage child , and in the happy countenances and robiiEt frames of the adult artisans .
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-lffom weavers of Lancashire , and the silk weavers of Spitalfields and Bethnal-green . The difference between a true and a false 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 nei ghbourhood 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 famil y , and furnishes a detailed statement of the outlay of this thirty shillings by the English 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 famil y 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 out 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 of the contrast is , that Mr Symons places the working classes of Switzerland " far above the standard of comparison , either as respects their physical or morai eminence , with any other people in Europe . " " Thefather of almost every family is a proprietor of land . '' Agriculture forms the basis of national industry ; manufactures , mechanical and artistical occupations constitute a secondary and subordinate olass 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 jsuch social and political p henomena , is constantl y 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 moralsofthe nation . If the Saints of Exeter-hall
, for instance , were to abandon for a few years , merely by way of change , their Bible , Tract , or Missionary Society , and devote the funds now expended in their support to the formation of societies which would give to fa luMrng sii n > rs 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 than they , now do in fifty . We have Mr Symons ' s testimony that "TheSwiss are in
an points regarding general morality , superior to any other community . " Mr Lain / gave similar testimony as to the moral condition of Norway and Angermanland . The facts stand to each other in the relation of cause and effect . The superior morality recorded by these travellers , is the result of abundance of food clothing , shelter , and a good education which are again attributable to the general possession of real property by the people , the intermixture of agricultural and manufacturing operations , and " every body being producers , there being no idle class" in Sdtzerland Ihese constitute the secret of Swiss prosperity and morality . Bring the same elements into play , and they . ^ ill produce the ; Same ; effects
We have not exhausted the storehouse of facts at our disposal , which substantiates this statement , but we must stop for the present . Enough has been given in the meantime to enable thememberg ofthe Land Company , and all impartial readers of everv class , tojud ^ e between our system of Political Economy , ami

that which the Daily News , at the outset of this discussion , assumed to be so impeccable , that it would not condescend to argue the first princip les on which it is based . As to the ribald abuse , coarse invective , impudent assertions , and bald prophecies , of the Weekly Dispatch , they can produce no other effect on the mind of any person whose support is worth having , than of unmitigated disgust . The only principle of that vile panderer to the depraved appetites of the "flash" portion of the population , has been in all cases that of the scavenger — "throw mud
enough : some of it is sure to stick . " There is scarcely a eingle measure for the benefit , of the people , which it has not attacked by abuse so coarse , and lies so foul , that they could not be paralleled by any other paper in existence . It never originated a single useful or orig inal plan for the benefit of the community , and with reference to such plans , when , proposed by others , has only shown itself as a fault-finder , and as the opponent of all rational and solid progress . Thank God ! the working classes 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 , van have the sli ghtest 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 datejthem 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 O'Connor Tartak . —To Feargus O'Gonnor , E « q ,, M . P . Honoured a d Worthy Sir , —We , the Chartists of Kilbarchnn , are strongly impresf ed with a belief of the determined perseverance of t' -c manufacturing classes ( as well as the press ) to keep the name and fame of Feargus O'Connor , if possible , out of publio view altogether . And the more so are we impressed with this conviction when we are aware that tartani have been , and are manufactured , and exposed for sale , bearing the names of most of the supposed pa . triots of their country , including those of the notorious Bright and Cobden , but not one bearing the name of O'Gonnor . Such being the case , and this being a wearing district , we kave resolved ( und 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 and earnestly request of you to promise to visit Kilbarchan , when on your tour through Scotland , and allow us the hosour of presenting jou 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 the 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 , nod that , too , throuj . h the instrumentality of the powerful and great O'Connor . W « hope , therefore , that y -u will , for the sake of the great cause of democracy , return afavoarabla . anbiter , ae we consider the above course the most efficient to establish the tartan , that being t e principle nim we have in view . —Sear Sir , I have the honour to remain , in name of the Committee , James M'Kemmie ,
weaver . —Kilbacchan , Renfrewshire , 2 nd October . 1847 . [ In the absence of Mr O'Connor we print the above . Of course , we cann it say whether Mr O'Connor will be able to visit Kilbarchan . As regards the tartan , vre think Mr O'Connor will accept the intended compliment . ~ ED . N . S- ] Mr R . MnnDocn , Cupar . —No . You will find all right so far as you are concerned .

P ., have heard with surprise , an answer to the invitation forwarded to that gentleman , to be present at the Crown and Auchor dinner , that' other engagements preclude the possibility of his attendance . ' Now , sir , believing the metropolitan democracy well deserve tbetre-st 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 . ' s fame would remain unsullied by his appearance amongst the Chartist Liberals , and other Af . P . s on that evening . But some of our friends have insinuated that because F . O'Connor , Esq ., M . P ., is to be there , Mr T . cannot be ; that he will not identify himself with'the violent party , ' meaning thereby , the same d ; mocracy , the Chaitists . I am requested , sir , to ask you , the naturo of Mr Thompson ' s ' other engagements . 'Yours , in the cause of real democracy , J . Shaw .

The League hack may be safely left in the hands of Mr O'Connor , nnd the Heywood scribbler is really unworthy the notice of Mr Butterworlh nevertheless we point the concluding portion of Mr B . 'c letter : — ' He says that ' there aro only about fifty members in Heywood , and moBt of them since they have had their eyes opened never intend to pay up their shares . ' Now , the truth it that , there are above one hundred members in Heywood , and above fifty who have paid up their shares . The committee of the Iley wood branch sent a letter to the Editor of the Manchester Guardian , ' in answer to the anonymous and disirrjiceful litter of the' working man , ' buthe refused to publish it , saying , that he hiid ' noroora . 'I hereby challenge the' working man' to a public discussion on the Land Plan at any time , or in any place he chose
may for his best convenience . ' James Bcttebwobth . ' T . Jones , Liverpool . — The request respecting the Fraternal Democrats shall be attended to .

He says ' I nei her can nor will hold myself responsible for sums that are sent to other people . Some send their money to Mr 0 Connor , at Lowbands , some to the Star office , to Messrs Harney or Kidcr , 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 .

Einest Jones . George Smith , Earfsheaton . Dewsbury .-IsupposetAnn Lockwood ' s will has been proved in the Ecclesiastical Court . Her personal estate , I presume , did not amount to much ; and if not , hor heir-at-law is the only person mate'wily interested in impeaching the will , wfrchhe would do by bringing an ejectment for the vecovery of her real property . If the heir is very poor , lie may sue ' tnjormajnauperu , ' nnd in that case the principal expense woaW be that of the witnesses to prove Mrs Lockwood ' s incompetencT . Without knowing what the witnesses could say , and also without knowing something about th-ir characters and situation in life it is impossible for me to say wbat chanee these is of the impeach ment of the- will beiug attended with success It ( the will ) appears to have been drawn by a solicitor , and attested by him and his clerk ; and . 'if they are respec table men , and shoald swear t 9 Mrs Lockwood ' s com petcney , it would require a strong bedy of evidence to upset the will . Was Mrs Lockwood at the tim " . he made her will ( April , 1842 ) , attended by anVm ' dS gentleman ? If iho was , it should be ascertained what he says about her competency .

THE TWO HOUSES . For a long time the House of "hereditary Incurables " has been in 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 struc > ture , 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 altogether , 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 fnecessary to come forward with some pseudo-liberal measure in the Commons , Government may safely indulge in these little escapades for the sake " of office , sure that the protective and corrective rod of the Lords- would whi p 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 abeut .
This fast-and « loo 8 e 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 the common-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—Labourjto 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 of the House used to be almost . all the unblushing nominees of the 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 assembl y 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 of the popular heart , making it beat time to the march of personal ambition . The 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 change came o ' er the spirit of their dreams : " -
Disgusted with the deception of "Liberal Leaders , the people began to think of leading themselves j the House gradually became less an auction mart of principle—the great hand of Democratic power keeps thundering a ' e the door—aud startling the in-dvvellers into something like a show of honesty . Ay ! so great is the change between the relative position of the Houses , that 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 growingr dean , " since men
without money for bribery , or other rank than that of honest manhood , can pass its doors ; then , after all , they find it growing dear . A peerage costs less than a seat in the Commons ! 1 he former may , indeed , be bought By subserviency and broken pledges . Its price is easily ohtained . Broken pledges and conflicting votes—constituencies betrayed and partiessold—backed by money enough ^ " sunport a title —no matter whether wrung from the earnings of the operative , or cli pped from tbe proht 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 remarkabl y subject to a relapse , whenever any symptoms of amelioration present themselves . The great majority ot the members are nothing more than patients that are , slowl y mending under the strict regimen Democracy is beginning to apply -and there is this difference between them and Peers , that they are Curables , whereas he latter as we all well know , are " Incurables Let the people look after their nolitiral
patients . Let them not trust blindfold a professing Liberal , because he fawned for their support before his election . Like-the " befo-e and after marriage'' so is the " before and after election . " Patriotism will die in hiX sounding , but unmeaning phrases- OHAHT&u themliprrno rrii » v * "ey must make SofthS ^ P ^ mean to reap the hev m , r r 7 / g n at r ? before the « onS , &Z their exertions durin £ th «
