TO FjsARGUS O'CONNOR , ESQ .. LETTER IIL Sm , —First « nd last , enongb * " «« been B * id and done to convince the most sceptical , that the smallest measure having jastice in it , and the greatest sanctioned by that principle , demanded by tha -working clisses . -will be alike resisted by the aristocracy . Tken why &buffie ? if a straggle moat come , let it be for a full measure—not for an j » olated point . If we muBt beard the lion in his den , let us make sure ttiat there will be no nt&L t 5 rt&urt to "Tniv » r measures a second time . Let us do out ¦ work , bo that none wili have cause to say afterwards that their grievances were overlooked . Such is the only , safe metbcd of doing tbe job , and to all appearance the only way it can be done at alL For a full
measure all lovers of j jsuce will unite , though refusing to do so for & single item . Kor could the shamreformer-Jlalthusian expediency -clique shilly shally -with reform as tbey have harttafore done , nor eltow cause for dissecting from the general movement , as all their objects are mvelved . These would fall under tbe ordeal of disappointment , and return from the fire purified in thfcir motives , acd honest through necessity j nor would any doubt remain concerning what all ¦ were contending far , as t ' ie case , taken as a whole , is simple and definite , = nd may all be calculated beforehand , eoEsequently sothing imperfect or insufficient need | be introduced- ' . In my last letter , I pointed out pretty clearly that while monopoly exists a slave class most of necessity exist , as bo monopoly caa be but at the expenee of depriving some part of the coma unity of what jastica awards ; and likewise in a monpolising system where master and servant naturally are , the demand for labour
must in all eases square with the amount paid in monopoly , with , the exception of that expended in other countries , which cannot be reckoned upon by the laboHrers of this . And , further , that the nature of . employment entirely depends tn the taste of those holding aenopolies . We all know goods are manufactured to meet the demand of the monied classes ; and these are toey ; and farther still , that our present system is a fair specimen of what monopoly will do . 1 hare likewise shown , that before we can Bafely remove the present jconop : > Using system of servitude * nd slavery , other avocations for men to exist must be concocted , understood , and agreed upon—so much being necessary to giro stability and direction to tie movement when tbe hoar of trial comss ; and further , that the slave f t *** need expect no relief until all this is accomplished . And it now remains to point out tbe nature of the different grades of monopoly , and the means by which everything of tie kind may &e dispensed with .
That the world , and all that is therein , is alike the sphere of action of ali men ; and that all depend thereon for tbeir -very friffrp" ^ . no one will deny- It i * prepared to meet the necessities of alL Nor hare the sons of men other resources to turn to . This is tbe patrimony of tbe human race , and they have n » other . And in it * management and distribution , all politics and theology are involved . So fax the ease stands clear . But ttu ; niture of oar relation towards tbe material vorld , * T )<\ to each other , and the action of a principle of justice , as bearing thereon , is what has never jet been dtfined by statesmen or divines , or had it been no other methods had been adopted to cirry it cat * hvn have ever set been employed .
The social tie or compact is the grand focus on which all other arrangements depend . If wrong , wrong must follow ; if-foaudei in justice , it must be definite in its character , and so formed as to exclude none . AU must enjoy equal constitutional rights , in every ease an equal standing in society , under regulations so formed , that cone can be deprived of ' any part These who would understand the laws and regulations calculated to meet this emergency , must torn to the human character , and know , oncafor all , the germs of the laws to govern tbe destiny of the twm »« i raca , ara inherent in the mind of man . Had tbe Persians known this , they would not have formed their constitution in nature to meet that . of a ram ; nor would the Grecians have formed their system in accordance
¦ with that of a goat ; nor the snciwit Romans , like that of a leopard , as if the nature of man , and tbe nature of any of these creatures , were the same , ' that he should be subjected to usage agreeable to these . Nor would the priesthood have thrown a Iamb's skin over Constantine ° & leopard , and permitted its spirit to remain , as if men were leopards , in nature , though diff < srent to appearance . - Tfor -would the more modern lawgivers have thought of governing with no constitution at all ; as if human nature was of no consequence as retards law-making . Let those who would correct their errors take a different course ; let them admit lrni «« -n nature as their data ; by so doing great mysteries will be made plain -, and ~ they will detect
conrtitutional errors , and political frands , forged , whether by mistake or design , anterior tcfto the days of Abraham , and which exist to this , hour . Grievances , to correct which the ten resolutions were presented to Moses , to correct vMch ^ the prophets wrangled with the aTiEtocratical rulers of the seveR . 1 ages in which they lived , to correct which the Saviour came among us , and promulgated his doctrines ; and many since have filled similar avof ^ . tiory , and all have come dicrt of the mark . Let us at lest believe the Saviour meant human nature ( and sol that of the beasts of the field ) , when he spoke of constitutional law : and with that understanding try the merits of bis doctrines .
It is now aseertuoed philosophically , supported by Revelation , and borne ci : by actual observation , that there are seven princip l es in the Tinman mind which connect nmntinrt with the material world , and with each other ; coasequeutiy there are seven natural rights . As u is the right of all men that all and each of these principles should meet their respective objects undisturbed : and the nature and object of a principle of justice is to give laws to effect this . Of the principles in question , three bring men in contact with the material world , and may be expressed thus : —Love of food , love cf property , and love of power . * No monopoly can be as regards the material world , but in conjunction with th « avocations of one or more of these
principles . The others affect men in their relation to each ether , and may be expressed thus . —Love of society ; love cf home ; love of offspring ; and sexual love ; farther than these seven principles and their several objects , no misunderstanding can arise among man , in as far as this world and tieir intercourse are concerned ; all monopolies , all unjust legislation , all wronrs , fcither pablieor privite , are traceable to the misdirection cf Sjme or other , or altogether of these principles ; and the application of a principle of justice , for the guidance of thesi in their relation to thfcir several objects , is all tiat is rfeqaired to pnt an end to all the misery and irjiiry that men through ignorance hare mutually inflicted or . each other .
SLr . lick at the foundst ' on , and ssy how far Cha : t = ra goes to rcEiedy toe evil , or what point is leis trorthy of consideration , than that on which the People ' s Cam tar rett 5 ; it will be perceived that that document is grounded on one of the heads in queBtiun , namely love of power , and of course is right in as far & 3 it goes ; bat it should be kept in view , Universal Suffrage , and the People's Charter , are two different tilings , the Tote let Members of Parliament is unexeep-. ior . able , bet otlier functionaries bold trust , who require to be looked ait ? r as w < , U as ihey , tnd conss-Qs . tr . tt 7 should cossc under the same veto .
Stil thfl £ Teiterror is , that of resisting the consideration cfthe other heads altogether ; whichx > I tSeseis less important than that on which the Charter rests , or fcow chines the right to vote to be xuoro a political Question than any of the others ! is it not accessary that ail and each of these rights should be established ty Act of Parliament ? Is the monopoly cf-the produc : of labour le $ 3 im ^ -irtai . t , or the monopoly cfthe natural material , that justice should not preside over thesfcr Uie monopoly of combination , force , and compulsion —or of bavarian!— dt of education—or is the victim of seduction , JUid the -woes of the brothel , a thing to pass over in silence ? In either of these cases , laws founue-1 in justice nuy be applied ; and I call-on the cuppojtrrs of democracy to show cause why they shouid not—cr failing to do » o , to for-n the Chait = r of our rights so as to demand the whole .
A primary reason wliy all these principles in their relation to tbeir respective objects , should be under the guidance of a principle of justice is the following : —the human heart loves to have abundance of the good things of this life ; and likewise to be the possessors of property , and to have power ; hot it so happens that all are similar in these respects ; then why is tbe social tie mode to admit part to participate in those blessings , and to exclude others ? Had justice been at its formation , this had not been the case ; Kkewiss the human heart loves independence , and to cave a home , and to have offspring , and io enjoy sensual love . > ow were only a part of tbe human family led instinctively to regard these blessings , or were dependent on the necessaries derived from these sources ; then , ay 1 , let those enjoy them , and excude tbe rest ; but since all are alike susceptible and dependent , if justice is at all to be attended to , the * social tie must be formed so as to secure the blessings alike
to all , The Constitution of Brtwn , properly speaking , rests on three monopolies , vis the monopoly if produce , whose equivalent ia labour ; the monopoly of land , whose « qaivalent Is « oaey ; the monopoly of povxr , whose equivalent is slavery ; and to Maintain these , all its laws , wisdom , and energy , are directed ; to maintain these , sll that makes man a social and intelligent being has been diverted from its natural coarse ; tbe beads- of onion beiwemasaa » ad mm iiaTj been broken trp ; the laws of primogeniture and entail have
been enacted ; thus sowing the seeds of dissension on tbe very bearth . A falsified course of . training has been persisted in , -where all is taught but the one thing needful , viz a knowledge of our relations to the material -world , and to etch other ; of these , fsw know any tting ,, although education u the monopoly of those who pretend to be the followers of that Being whose only prominent command iff as to act justly towards each ether ; to maintain this , the social tie has bsen dishonouiedj and its votaries sold as a marketable commodity . - - - ¦ ¦ -
I cm aware I will scarcely be believed when I assert that tbexeare only seven kinds of monopoly , that now , m at tny time erer did exist , end'that only tLree of these tfert men in t leir telatiooB to the maUral world ; fetoosgh it it Bmportaiit to keep the others in view ,

still all the dispute is concerning these . First , the monopoly of land ; of itself this is of small vain * , Mature yields not , consequently all depends on laboar ; money commands labour , and labour produces the Hocesaaries of life , and land furnishes tbe ingredient * from which these are produced , consequently the constitution stands thus : —money being the acting impulse , those who possess it give the holders of the earth so much for the use of their community , and the holders of labour , so much for theirs ; these operating on each other produce articles of commerce , so the natural simple proportion of the case stands , —the monopoly of power being only serviceable for the mnintpneTiM of these others
relatiocs . From this , view the position of tbe representa tives of labour : first , the land monopolists have deprived them of their patrimony , and from their position in society , and the countless number who live on their produce , and labour not , we may judge how far they are equitably dealt with by the money-holders ; and third and lastly , the monopoly of machinery . To the working part of the community this is injustice even according to tbe established order of things ; if the original agreement was that one party should hold the soil , and another its produce , neither had a rigbt to employ a central agent to deprive the holders of labour of what the constitution awarded to them , namely , the profits derived from toil ; to the full amount of all ever prod need by machinery and pocketed by the
moneyholders , has labour been deprived of its constitutional rbwtrd ; from which consideration concerning the conduct of the money-holders , to the holders of labour ( not mentioning the inadequate remuneration for labour at all times ) it is gross impudence in them , to come forward and ask the holders of labour to assist them in fighting tbeir battles with the holders of land ; we know it is the Interest of tbe money-holders , that land should be cheap and labour cheap . It is the interest of the holders of each of these , that their respective commodities should bs dear ; to meet which the landholders t } defend their side cf the question , have enacted the Corn Laws and othtr similar imposts , through which they have still been able to keep their grounds , while on the other hand , labour being wholly unprotected has gradually sunk under both- Had the money-holders heretofore dealt fairly with the rights of labour , those who live thereby mi « bt now assist to reduce the price
of land ; but as it is , that must remain a neutral question with them , while the money-holder has the power to put the difference in their pockets . Would tbty know the intentions of these men towards tbeir ride of the quest . on , it may be tested thus : —lay a tax on machinery of all kinds , acaording to produce , so thjt upon the whole , all work done thereby shall exceed the price of the Eame thing done by hand labour , with a restriction to exclude foreigners from supplying the demand . Such enactments would do for labour what the Corn Laws would do for land , viz , raise its value . But would tbe money-holders comply with this ? the cry against tV . e iniquitous Corn Laws , Sea ., is nothing to what would be raised against thai Still were it possible to enforce such laws , would any good result from it t All thai could be attained from such enactments , would be merely the continuance of a system of Government in whose formation justice has no part .
You who depend on labour leave these parties to manage tbeir matters as they best can ; your cause it not involved in their squabbles , nor its remedy in the objects they contend for . The const tution is grounded on tbe monopoly of your rights , and nothing short of a total dissolution , and a return to natural principles , can avert your doom . By taking tiiis course , you may yet bs able to assume that position on this earth that nature intended and justice entitles you to . Of the nature and number of your rights , I have spoken already ; and it now remains to point eut tbe nature » f laws necessary to establish and Tn « jnt « . i ^ them . But as these are the constitutional laws of a Christian Government , and , consequently , tbe real Charter of our rights , I shall reserve their consideration for my next j and we shall then see , by the way these are received , how far I am justified in saying the many know not their rights , sor bow they are to be attained , even if they had the power .
In the mean time—to know -we have rights ia one thine , and to know the nature of the laws whereby they may be established is another , and both are alike important : still , from the exertions at present employed to attain this very desirable end , I cannot anticipate mueh opposition to a set of laws whose establishment would at once and permanently secure this to all ; competition or co-operation is the work , as competition is the result of injustice , so co-operation flows from laws founded on justice ; whether U it better to cooperate with others in "naintaining the just equilibrium of our rights , or spend our days in competition to gain a scanty portion of the bounty of nature from the happy few who monopolise all to themselves ? Our constitution is made to completely exclude the greater part , and competition ia the result , as
all must live ; and if the moans of existence are monopolised , they must be procured at whatever price from those enjoying the extraordinary privilege of possessing them ; by altering the constitution so as to include all co-operation mmt follow , as the cause of competition ia entirely removed , and the object of man ' s pursuits wholly altered in tbe ene cose ; his object is to secure a standing in the other to « na . iTrtn < m what is already secured . The advent of a principle of justice bequeaths this much to all mankind , without any exertion on their { art , farther than ttrict adherence to tbe laws of heaven , and so much we deprive oanelves of by trampling on national rights ; this is the bounty of heaves , and adherence to justice and benevolence , are tbe conditions on which we enjoy it ; nor will it do for those who contend for justice to overlook this view of the case . I have the honour to be , Sir , Your obdt servant , Charles Duscan . Canon-street , Caaon-mills , Edinburgh , Dec Cth , 1841-
