      That poverty anfl indigence Tiaye increased with PEODDCTiON , 13 a fact now admitted on all hands . That increased and increasing want is endured by the two ma n classes of society , the producers and distributors , the workmen and ahopkeepera , is attested by even the " Extension of Commerce" men them-BBlres . In fact they are now , even at this moment , pressing most urgently , the fact , that the working people are starving to death ; that they are utterly unable to procure for themselves the commonest

      nectsBaries of hfo ' - ; and that the shopkeeping class are reduced to bankruptcy and bxiin . The " Exteneion of Commerce" gentry ; the denyers of " oveu peoduction ; " the Anti-Corn Law Conference , ara now , at this very time , pressing , urgently , vehemently , importunately pressing these facts upon the attention of the Minister of England I Therfc is no dispute , on any hand , as to the existence of dire distress and privation . The Minister himself admits it , and deplores the fact .

      That our means of producing wealth have increased during the last fifty years in an enormous and astounding degree admits also of no dispute . The introduction of the steam engine ; tho increased application of water power ; the invention and employment of the spinning jenny , the mute , the willy , the throstle , the power-loom , the Lewis machine , the heckling machine , the combing machine , the flax-spinning machines , and a thousand others , which are well known to all engaged in manufacturing processes ; all these things betoken an increase of meass for producing wealth .

      To understand this subject thoroughly , however , we must particularize . We must endeavour to ascertain what the increase in our means of production really i 3 . We must compare our means in this respect at tha present time with our means some sixty years ago . In 1792 we ara stated to have ad a population of 15 . 000 , 000 . By far the greater proportion of th&t population was occupied in agricultural pursuits . Manufactures were , with them , a secondary

      consideration . They-seened to aot according to the dictates of nature : food first : clothing the next Tiie inventions of Watt and Abkwrioht were then sew . Their introduction into use was but slow ; yet they were being introduced . The population , too , possessed at that time ether mechanical and scientific power . According to the Sfatioiaus of tho day , about one-fourth of tho population were engaged in macual labour . At that time , however , human labourers were men ; not women or children .

      The proiusing power of England , at the period we speak of , ha 3 been computed by those most conversant with the subject to have been : — Manual labour ... ... ... 3 , 750 , 000 Mechanical and scientific power equal to ... ... ... 11 , 250 , 000 Total ... ... .... 15 , 000 , 000 The population was also 15 , 000000 . Thus the aggregate productive j > ovrer and the population iu 1732 were about equal , or as ono to one . -

      The condition of the population then , was that which it has never since been . Indeed they experienced a degree of substantial prosperity , eqnal , if not superior to that of the inhabitants of any other part of the world . Pauperism wag comparative ' y unknown . The poor rates amounted only to £ 2 , 000 . 000 ; and out of them were paid , as now , the county rates , salaries , and law expences .

      Now , we are told , the poor rates amount to . £ 8 , 000 , 000 I ! This can ba accounted for . The manufacturing system had then attained that point which gave the highest value to manual labour , compared with the price of the neoessaries and comforts of life , which it was calculated to afford ; and it had not then iniroduced tho demoralizing effects which soon afterwards began to emanate from it .

      Such was the amount of producing power m the year 1792 : and such was the state of tho populalation . Let us now see how both these matters stand at the present . Manual , or rather human , labour has / been increased . The labour of women and even , children has bseu called into long nncefl £ ing < taily aetion ; To eueh an extent has this been the case , that Staticisns now estimate that one-third of the population ara engaged ia hand labour , instead of one fourth as computed in 17 S 2 . - : 1 -

      Bnt if the producing power of England hashscn increased by adding to her ; manual labourers the wives aud daughters , aud the infant boys and girls , of woikiDg men , what , O what ! has been the increase in her mcchanicsl and scientific power 1 j In the year 1 S 17 , when tho population was estimated tj bo 18 , 000 , 000 , it was found that there had been a real increase in our mechanical and ecientifio power to produce wealth equal to that of ranch more than two hundred millions of stout , active ^ well-trained labourers ! an increaie equal to more than ten times the then population ! an increase < qual to more than thirty times the manual labour England could then supply for the production of wealth !!

      In 1817 , fhenj the producing power of England stood thus : — Manual labour , ( one-third of the population , 18 , 000 , 000 ) ... 6 , 000 , 000 Newiy-rreuted scientific power , from 1792 to 1817 . understated 2 ^ 0 , 000 . 000 Scienufio power in 1792 ... ... 11 , 250 000

      Total produoirg power ... 217 , 250 , 000 P . The population at this period , as we have before seen , was 18 , 000 , 000 . Tho proportion which the producing power new bore to the population was as twelve and a fraction io one . In 1792 tlie proportion was as we have before seen , just equal , — as one to one * : Here was an increase 1 What OHght to have been the result ? The people ; the whole people ^ workmen as well as masters : the producers and the

      distributors ; all ought to have been twelve times richer in 1817 than they were in 1792 I They had increased their means of producing wealth from the proportion of one to one , to more than twelve to one ; they ought-. - . to hare been , twelve times more wealthy J Thstwrtffemaa ougb i to have had twel re times the amonnt of wages in 1817 tban he had in 1792 . The employer , ^ and distributor ought to have had twelve times the amount of profit . These things clearly ought to havofibwed from such an increase to our means-of producing national wealth . . " : ' .

      Wp will not stop here to inquire whether this was the case or not- ; whether the ^ cdadition of both employer and employed was thd better , or worse , for this vast increase in our producing-means . We will not enter upon that inquiry here ;; but proceed toascerlain what the amount of oar prdddc ' mg power is at the present moment ; ascertain . ' whit has beea the increase siko ; the . year J 817 . . , . > . The population " at present , as appears from the last census , is , in round Bumbers , -27 , 000 . 000 . As

      the employment of females and children since 1817 has not decreased , but , on the contrary , greatly increased ,, "weadopt the lart ' estimate * that one-third of ourpopnlatfonisenrployed inhand-Iaboui .

      , Th ] u Is no random guess . * ' It ; is the result of deep and Beaiching inquiry , and extensive practical knowledge . One of the means to ascertain the amount may be here stated . It will give an idea of the kind of data on which the conclusion jast named is founded . ^ . Some time ago , three of the principal British manufacturers of cotton , yarn in cLifierent parts of the kingdom ,, made separate estimates of thequaniiiy each workman in their respective establishments produced , compared with the average production of one person on the plan formerly pursued ; that is , with baud-cards and single

      An increase of productive power would greatl y increase the aggregate wealth of the family . Each one would TRfiN be ible to 8 apply tnfich more than his 1 ¦ portion towards the family wants . What follows ? Why , that the market is overstocked . The supply is greater than the demand . The farmer brings his grain to . market , but finds that each one is supplied with food ; and he cannot ae ' llw The weaver produces his oloth ; but every one is already clothed , and no more igf required . What *^ n follows ?; Why , that the farmer ^ though he has grain tfnougli and to aparev can got nothing else : the baker has bread ;

      but he can obtain no moDey wherewith to purohase other articles of necessity ^ : the weayer , though he has plenty of cloth e cannot procure food for a single meal ! If we suppose ¦ th ' a . t these . persons have saved a little mouoyi still they will purchase but sparingly , hot knowing where they may obtain more . Diminishing consumption increasiS each member's stock on hand . At last tho market is fairly glutted . Thehqae farmer ^ or other producer , lowers his price , that he may undersell the others * Others are forced to follow his example , though conscious that by so doing they are obtaining less and less for thoir labour . " ' Even low prices will

      not induce the members to buy more gram or ; more of other produce than their means will permit them to consume : ao that sucb . relief is but , momentary , and is ultimately ruinous . . v ; . v What , " then , romains to be done ? To look out for a market abroad , where the wants of other families are nofc so ' . fully supplied j and thus dispose of their surplus produce for the money they reqairp , to obtaiiifroia their bEethreafche neoessaries of life . But hero another difficulty presents itself . Tho means of production increase , both at home and abroad . Tho foreiguer requires less and less . The

      English family must make more and more . To ihduoe a ' . " ' purchase , they reduce their prices below thoso of the foreigner . This increases the -difficulty . To make up for reduced prices , longer hours of work are necessary . More must be produced to mate up the former sum . ; Still the markets arofull and fuller : and still production is increased and increases . The labour of the "little one" is called in to aid the father ; and ultimately the mother is forced to tako her stand by the side of both . This but adds fuel to the fire . At last the

      foreign market is glutted , as well as the home market . The Warehouses and granaries are weighed down with wealth ; arid the producers of all are compelled to starve to death because they cannot sell ; because they can . not procure MONEY to bay the different articles of wealth everywhere abounding ! T ! bsoanso the members of the family have , each one , so much wealth that they cannot find moans to exchange products with one another {' . because , in fact , tiny are over-supplied with all the necessaries of life to such a degree , that THEY KNOW NOT HOW TO PREVENT THEIK MEMBEBS

      STARVING FOR WANT OF THEM !!!! This would be- ' the'state- of a family under the present Commercial System * even where every one is a producer ; and where every one has the opportunity of keeping hia own products to himself till he con either sell or barter them for other products he needs for his sustentation and comfort . Apply the supposed case to our actual condition : and consider , if such bo the case where everything is in favour of the producer , as far as the keeping to himself his own

      productions is concerned , what must be the condition of those who are obliged to daily sell their physical energies for their daily bread ?! Each one in that etato is not ovER-suppHed : and yet his want arises from OVER-production ! The produce of his labour is not in his own hands , for sale : it is , however , in the hands of others ^ waiting for sale ; and it is because it is unsold that his employer does not buy more of his energies : and there he is ! starving , —Bhcause ho has produced too much !!!

      Tho Political Economists when they speak of the impossibility of " otgr production 'leave > One or two essentials out of their calculation , which make all tho diffirenoo betweon their conclusion and our 3 1 Tiioy forget , or will not remember , that there ia buying and selling in connection , with our present Cpmaiercia 1 exchanges : and they also forget that buying aud selling is necessary in order to other buying &nd . selling . The accumulated produce of labour must be sold ; before other labour can be employed or bought . If the market is overstocked , no first buyer can be found . If the first one is wanting , the second is wanting too 3 and thu ? , nil is at a doad look . !

      An anecdote told by an old friend , of ours , whose teachings on this subject will not Boon be forgotten by thousands of the working people , will truly illustrate oiir present position . He represented two Manchester meH as having met in cod verso on the " hard times ; " and that Bill had jusi asked Joe , " when he ' thought . ' times would meuJ . " The aaswer was : " I konuo toll . Theaw kna > ys'at warehawses ar' au full ; an' ' at we konno get wark 'till ther ' n emp ' tit . They K . onn . p' be cm ] : tit 'till we get ' n brass to go baouy t' stuff . We konno got brass ' till we cet ' n wark : au ' we konno get wark'till we

      get ' n brass . So tbaw sees we ' ar au fast togeither !" A perfect picture of England ' s present condition ! and a poser for the dehiers of over-production ! I And is it always to be thus ? Pees it necessarily follow that every increase in tho means of producing wealth must load to this dire result ? Is that which must , ; . 'in itself , be a blessing , always thus to prove s curse 11 Must it always be that an increase of wealth must inorea , se our poverty j Is not it possible to prevent over production , without at the same time preventing the illimitable increase of wealth ?

      No 1 things are not always to be as they are ! It does not necessarily follow that the increased aad increasing poverty of the people must be the price of an increase in the means to produce national Wealth . It is possible TO PREVENT overpboduction , aud yet allow of the illimitable increase of wealth ! Other principlos , however , and other practices , to th 63 e adopted by our present Commercial men must be brought into play . The necessity of having to wait for buyers of labour ' s products before labour itself can be bought , must be supgrseded . The benefits and blessings pt erery iiiiprovemeat in mechanics must be sooured to all . Then , produce away ! - .. - ¦ Then , enjoy yourselves , every one , to the top of your bent ! Then . no want ; no fear of Want Then , no " over- production" I

      Imagine , that when the members of the family we ^ ^ . formerly supposed , ^ ^ were looked completely fast for want of a market , both at home •" andabroad j when they Were starving for want of the respective articleB of wealth , of which , in the aggregate tbey had more than enough ; imagine , that , when in this state , they had agreed to dispense with \ -buffing ^ and selling ; agreed each one ; to place b 4 s . ; p ^ ticala ' r ' 8 or t ; 6 f'Weaikli '' in ' 'one '' com 0 ion ' stook , ftoin which oKflhould be supplied , as he had need ; and Bupposo , further , that they had agreed that all the wealth each . on « afterwards produced should be so dealt with : imagine this ; | and tell ns , could OTEB-piiODliCTiOH then exist !

      THE EXECUTIVE AND THE LEICESTERv . ; SHIRE DELEGATES , ; ft It will bo seea , on refereiice to another colnmn , that our Leicestershire friends have put di" in a pretty considerable fix , " as Brother Jonathan would say . Th ^ y haYe come to resolutions , which they recpmaieM to theserious coasideria . tion of their Chartiat brethren throughout the . Kingdom ; and in * whick thay di&seut very decidedly from aome of the opinions , and censure very froely , some acts of the Execuuve , while they require information regarding pthera Not to have published those resolutions would , of course , have been to "Burke" the resolutions

      of the people ; publishing them , wo shall , of course , be said to "denounce" the Executive . Having , therefore , no escape from both Scylla and : Charybdis , we choose to publish them , and leaveLtaeni to the people's ooneiderattOB . And , while we do eo , we will merely just observe , that we think they merit the serious attention of the Executive . They ; come from a very large and iinportant Bection of the Chartist body ; to whosa opinions and convictions considerable deference i 3 d » e , 4 " We know that Chartist j in other localities besides those of North and South Leicestershire hold similar opinions , especially on the matters referred to in the first resolution . ;

      Individually , our opinion ia that if the Leicestershire friends require only their own satisfaction on these matters , the business might have been better done by letter to the General Secretary , than in this public way . If , however , as seems to be tlie case , they wish to have the opinion , and sense of their brother Chartists through the kingdom , they have a perfect right to ask for it , aid we have no right to prevent their doing so through our columns , as tha acknowledged National Chartist organ . '

      Wo think their demand for explanatiou in theflrst resolution is almost as vague as the st atements they require explaining . They should , in our judgment , have pointed out some , if not all , of the particular items of " postage , " and * ' agitating expsnees ^ " which they think need exposition . This might hiya materially lessened the labour of explanation on tho part of the Executive . ^ : We sincerely hope that the assortion of the second resolution , that " the sixth article of the plan of or ^ aniaation , whereby it is provided-that ' a book shall be kept by the Executive Committee , in which

      shall be entered the names of the members of this association , throughout the kingdom , ' has beeen neglected , ' * may prove to be uufounded . If this be indeed so , the Executive have grossly and shamefully neglected their duiy ; and have wantonly and needlessly expoled themselves and the whole Asaooiation to much danger , which proper attention and a little trouble would have precluded ; if it be not so , our Leices ' ershiro friends have been very hasty in their cohclusionSj and are highly censurable for their indiscreet public attack on the Executive , oh a matter which they had , " always the / means of knowing ' ¦ , : ¦''¦ ..

      We believe that all Our readers will bear : . witness that from the first establishment of the Association , the Executive have always found in us-steady and consistent supporters ; we wait anxiously for ' their response to the resolutions of the ^ Leieestershird delegates ; and we tell the delegates fairly that we shall be well-pleased to see them answered to their own perfect satisfaction . ] ' " " ¦ . Meantime , the ^ whole Chartist ^^ body will lo ^ k for the result' with an anxiety hot less intense than ours . If the Executive meet and pass through this investigation triumphantly , they will weave for

      themselves a web of public confidence more enduring than even that which they have hither to worn ; if they do not the people will be nothing daunted or discouraged ; they know that disappointment always follows those who trust implicitly to men as individuals ; they will know . that though the Executive as a body of individuals may have forfeited their confidence , the orgauiaition yet remains , tho masses are yet firm to our glorious principles ^ aud the triumph of democracy , wii ! but be manifested in the fact of all matters of personal esteeai and revereacr being msrged in one cosanion , earnest , & 2 . d all ^ ac orbing cryof duty .

      What is the fact \ Let the / 'Corn-Law Repealers answer ! Lot the " Corn-Law Cohferenco " answer !! Let the -statements , laid by them"before the Minister answer ! 1 ! i Let the Squeaking meetings of the 8 h 6 pocracy answer !!!! Let tha loud outcries of " starvation , " " basicauprcv , "' RUIW " answer "' ! 11 ' ! !¦ Let the Qaeeu ' s Speech and the "SYMPATHISING : * " of the Premier answer !!!!!!

      answer !!!!!! 1 Let the fact that morethan onefouhth of the population of the very town in which we write ( itself one of the best in the whole kingdom ) is pauperized ; let that one fact answer ! ! J !! Here is a strange fact : when our productive power was , as compared with our population , only one to one , vre found means to exist ; and 16 exist comfortably , too : now that we have & productive power increased to the proportion of twenty two to one we are in the very jaws of death from famine !!

      Let the reader ponder over this fact well I Let him weigh and canvass it in all its bearings Let him study the lesson it gives ! It teaohes that formerly one sixty-seventh part of England ' s present means of producing wealth afforded her population subsistence and comfort ! It teaches that an increase of those former means sixtyrseven times over has not added to the meal-tub on the bread-creel of tho workiagman ! It teaches that the xomforts he once enjoyed have been snatched from him ! It teaches that the working men of England are not ( from some means or other ) permitted to enjoy anything like bo much as a sixtv-sbvenxh partoflhe wealth they produce !!

      Whenoo this evil ? From over production " ? is eur answer : and thus we prove it . Every step we have taken in inoreasing-production , from 1792 to the present moment , has been a step in the downward path of ru ; n 11 This ia proved beyond all dispute by the fact , that ' we were comfortably off , " well-to-do , " when we started on the journey ; and aro now ruined even long before we have arrived at our journey' ? end ! This fact completely and unanswerably proves our

      position . All the reasoning ; all the sophistry ; all the speciousness in the world cannot upiefc that position , unless it can alter the fact . We were " well-to-do ; " we have increased our productions &isly-seven times over : in the exact proportion as we have increased those productions , ih exactly the same ratio ; have we decreased the workman's means of comfort aud even hard living ; and we have ended in a consignment of him to -. ' . penury , destitution , and death J while we have brought the shop * keeping class to beggary and ruin 1 ! !

      Now why is this ?— Attend . Wealth 19 the aggregate of those objeots that supply tho wants and contribute to the comforts of man . lie who has a regular supply of the objects of necessity and comfort is a wealthy man : he who has not this regular supply is a poor man . It is evident that if cot / i man could produce for himself all the articles of wealth that he needed , he would be a wealthy man ; and no possible injustico could happen ^ in the distribution of his products : for he would himself consume that which he produced .

      Such a state of things , however , ia impossible , without giving up the immense advantages attending a division of labour , and a returning back to what is denominated " the pavoge state . " A workman cannot produce with advantage either to himself or the community more than a very few different kinds of wealth . These , it is evident , cannot supply all his wan ts . He can , himself , only use but a ? mall pyrfc of the things he has produoed : and Die rest he must exchange ; with those of his fellowmen who have , in like manner , produced a surplus of othev articles ^ of wealth .

      H ; noe arises GoMMERqut Exchange , or Trading : and it is the manner in which these necessary exchanges aro NOW made , that produces want and poverty ! In other words , it is ths phesent system of Commercial Exchange that deprives British labourers , in some way or other , of moke THA . N SIXTY'SIXTIETUS OF THE PBODUCJE OP THEIR INDUSTRY !

      Let us traco the working of the sysjidm .: ' Let ns suppose England to be inhabited > by one large family , tlie various members of which are of various occupaitions : some growers of food ; others builders of houses ; others makers of wearing Apparel , and others ^ bak e rs . of l > read . Further suppose this family producing for its own consumption . The farmer would have to exchange Borne of his grain with the maker oif clothing : forawhile the one cannot do without train , the other cannot do

      without coveiing . The builder would exchange the produots of Ats labour with both : for while shelter is necessary to all , he too must have food and dress . And so throughput the whole family . To facilitate thfiBe exchanges , they would make use q £ money as a medium of exchange .
