| \ That poverty and indigence have increased with production , is a fact now admitted on all hands . That increased and increasing want is endured by the two man classes of society , the producers and distributors , the -workmen and shopkeepers , is attested by even the " Extension of Commerce' * men them-S 9 ] ves . Ia 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 themselyes tbe commonest necessaries of life ; and that the shopkeeping class are reduced to bankruptcy and kuin . The "Excen-Bion of Commerce" gentry ; the denyers of " ovbb pboddction ; " the Anti-Corn Law Conference , are 7 iowy at this very time , pressing , urgently , vehemently , importunately pressing these facts upon the attention of the Minister of England ! There is no dispute , on any hand , as to the existence of I dira distress aud 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 jand astounding degree admits also of no-, dispute . j The introduction of the steam engine ; the increased application of water power ; the invention and employment of tho spinning jenny , the mule , the willy , the throstle , the power-loom , ttio Lewis machine , the heckling machine , the combing machine , tbe flax-spinning machines , and a thou 8 &n < t Others , which are well knowa to all engaged in manufacturing processes ; all these things betoken an increase of means for producing wealth . | To understand this subject thoroughly , however , we must particularize . We must endeavour to I ascertain what the increase in our means pf production really is . We must comparo our means ia this respect at tho present timo with our means some sixty years ago . In 1792 we are stated to have ad a population of 15 , 000 , 000 . By far the greater proportion of j that population was occupied in agricultural purj suits . Manufactures were , with them , a secondary | consideration . They seemed to act according to the I dictates of nature : food first : clothing the next . The inventions of Watt and Abkwright were then sew . Their introduction into use was but slow } yet they wore being introduced . The population , too , posseBBi d at that time other mechanical and scientific power . According to tho Siaticians of the day , about one-fourth of the population were engaged in manual labour . At that time , however , human labourers were men ; not women or children . The producing 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 aud scientific power equal to ... 11 , 250 , 000 Total . 15 , 000 , 000 The population was also 15 , 000 , 000 . Thus the aggregate productive power and the population in 1792 were about equal , or as one to one . The condition , of the population then , Wa 3 tbat which : it has never since been . Indeed they experienced a degree of substantial prosperity , equal , if not superior to that of the inhabitants of any other part of tho world . PaaperisEi was comparatively unknown . The poor rates amounted only to £ 2 , 000 , 000 ; and out of them were paid , as now , the county rates , salaries , and Jaw cxpences . Now , we are told , the poor rates amount to £ 8 , 000 , 000 ! ! 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 neoessafiea and comforts of life , which it was calculated to afford ? and it had not then introduced the demoralizing effects which soon afterwards began to emanate from it . Such was the amount of producing power in the year 1792 : and such was the state of the popnlalation . Let us now see how both these matters stand at the present . - Manual , or ruther human , labour has been increased . The labour of women and even children has been called into long unceasing daily action . To such an extent has tbi 3 been the case , that Staticians now estimate that one-third of the population axe engaged in . hand Iaboiir , ins . toad of odcfourth . as computed in 17 . 92 . Bat if the producing power of England has been increased by adding to ' her rhan iial , labourer s the wives and daughters , and the infant boys and girla , of working men , what , 0 whit 1 has been the in-; crease in her mechanical and scientific power I ! In the year 1817 , when the population was est-i ^ mated t > be 18 , 000 , 000 , it was found that there had : been o real increase in our mechanical and scientific power to produco wealth equal to that of mnch | more than two hundred millions of stout , active , ' well-trained labourers ! an iucreare equal to more than ten limes tho then population ! an increase . f qual to more than thirty times the manual labour | Engiand could then supply for the production of '; wealth !! In 1817 , then , the producing power of England i stood thus : — : \ | | | \ \ \ \
j Manual labour , ( one-third of tho ? j population , 18 , 000 , 000 ) ... 6 , 000 , 000 i Newly-created seipniific power , I from 1792 to 1817 , understated 200 , 000 , 000 Scientific power in 1792 ... ... 11 , 250 , 000 Total producing power ... 217 , 250 , 000 . ' . ' ; [ The population at this period , as we have before I seen , was 18 , 000 . 000 . The proportion which the ! producing power new bore to the population I was as twelve and a fraction io one . In 1792 the j proportion was as we have before seen , just equal , — : as one to one . j Here-t ^ as an increase ! What ought to have been j the result 1 The people ; the whole people ; work-I men a 3 well as masters ; the producers and tho dia-! tributors ; all ought to have been twelve times richer in 1817 than they were in 1792 ! They had increased their means of producing wealth from the proportion of one to one , to more than twelve to one ; they ought to ha ? e been twelve times more wealthy ! The workman ought to have had twelve times the amount of wages in 1817 than he had in 1792 . The employer and distributor ought to have had twelve times tHe amount of profit . These things clearly ought to have flowed frcm each an increase to our meaiis of producing national wealth . ¦ . ' ¦ ' We will not stop here to inOjUire whether this was the case or not ; whether the coBc'itUm of both employer and employed was the better , or worse , for this vast increase in our producing means . We I will not enter upon that inquiry here ; butprooeed ¦ to ascertain , what the amount of . our producing I power is at the present moment ; ascertain what has beea the increasesikcx the . year 1817 . j The population at present , as appears from the j last census , is , in round numbers , 27 j 0 OO , O 00 .

Lat the reader ponder over this fact well . ! - . Let him weigh and canvass it 7 in all its bearings ! Let him study the lesson it gives 1 It teaohos that formerly One sixty-seventh part of England ' s present means of producing wealth afforded her population eubsistence and comfort ! It teaches that an increase of those former moaus sixty-seven tirnes over has not added to ihe meal-tub on the bread-creel f of tho working man ! It teaches that the comforts j ho 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 so much as a sixty-seventh part of the
wealth thoy produce !! . Whence : this evil 1 From " otbb production " ?! is «« r answer : and thus we pr 6 vo it ; Every step we hare taken in increasing-production , from 1792 to the present moment , has been a step in the downward path of Roxit ! This is proved beyond all dispute by the fact , that we were comfortably off , " weli-to-do ^ 'when we started on the journey ; and are now uvihed even long before we have arrived at our journey ' s end ! This faot completely and unanswerably proves our position . All tho reasoning ; all the sophistry ; all the speoiousness in the world cannot upset that position , unless it can alter the fact . We were " weil-to-do . ; " we have increased our productions iixly'seven times over : in the exatt proportion as we , have inoreased those ' productions ,, in exactly the same ratio have we decreased the workman ' s means of comfort and even hard living ; and we have ended in a consignment of him to penury , destitution , and deaih ! while we have brought tho shopkeeping class to beggary and ruin !! 1 Now why is this ?— Attend . Wealth is the aggregate of those objects that supply the wants and contribute to the comforts of man . He who has a regular supply of the objects of necessity and comfort is a wealthy man : he who has not this regular . supplyis a poor man . It is evident that if each man could produce for himself all the articles 6 f wealth that he needed , he would be a wealthy man ; and no possible injustice could happen ia the distribution of his products : for he would himself consume that which he produoed .
bucn a state ot tbmgs , nowever , is impossioie , without giving up the immense advantages attending , a division of labour , and a . returning back to what is denominated "the savage 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 want ' s . He can , himself , ouly use but a smalt part of the things he has produoed i and tiie rest he must exchange with those of his fellowmen who have , in like manner , produced a surplus of other articles of wealth . Hsnoe arises Commercial Exchawoe , or Trading r and it is the manner in which these necessary exchanges aro NOW made , that produces want and poverty 1 In other words , ix is the present system of Commercial Exchange that deprives British laboubers , in some way or other , of more THAN SIXTr-SlXtlETHS OF THE PRODUCE OF THEIR INDUSTRY ' ' ¦! AND CONSIGNS THEM TO FAMINE BECAUSE THEY HAVE ; OVERSTOCKED THE MARKET , AND BECOME USELESS AS PRODUCERS ! Let us trace the working of the system . Lot ns suppose England to be inhabited by one large famiJyj the various members of which are of various occupations : some growers of food ; others builders of houses ; others makers of wearing apparel , arid ethers bakers of bread ; Further 8 UPPO 8 O this family producing for its own consumption . The farmer would have to exchange soine of his grain with thejnaker of clothing : for while the ; one cannot do without grain , the other cannot do without " covering . The builder would exchange the products of his labour with both : for while shelter is necessary to all , he too must have food and dress . And so throughout the whole family . To facilitate thftse exchanges , they would make use of money asa medium of exchange . Having established a standr ardofvaluet the one would seilhis surplus produce , and 6 u «/ the surplus produce of tis brother . This is the Commercial System . in its simplest and least injurlnnn fVirna . . . .
Furtner suppose that this family ar » . just , able to su pply their aggregate wants ; j . '; that the farmer grows just enough of food ; the builder makes just enough of shelter ; the weaver and tailor produce jasfc enough of clothing V the Ba ^ er is able to bake juBt enough of bread ; iq sliort , suppose that the family ' s means of production are , in proportion to their number , jnst one to one : ia it hot apparent that with such a simple form oi necessary exchange , all must be comfortable J i The farmer , as soon as his grain is ready , brings it to maifket * nd finds a ready customer . Witti thiej money he receives for his produce he goes to the tailor and buys what he needs to clothe lumself ; and the saoney he leaves with ; the tailor ^ as tha ^ representative ;© f the wealth given him in exchange , enables tho latter to go to the baker to buy bread ; and ^ thusOeaoh would re- ; gularly obtain the means of purchasing the different articles of wealth he da ^ y required .

An increase of procuctiye power would greatly inorease the aggregate wealth of the family . Each one would then he able to sapply much more than hia portion towards the fomily wants , ; What ibUows i ¦ Why , that the ; market is overstocked . The supply is greater than- the ; demand . The farmer brings Mb grain to marketj but finds that each one is supplied with food ; and he cannot Bell . The weaver produces his cloth ; hut every one is already clothed , and no more ig required . What then follows ? Why , that the ; farmer , though he hasi ; gtain enough and to spare ; can get nothing else : the baker has bread ; but he can phlaia no mppey wherewith to purchase other articles of necessity : the weaver , though he has plenty of cloth , cannoi procure food fora single meal ! If we suppose that these persons have saved a little money , still they will purchase but ' sparingly , not knowing where they may obtain more . Diminishing consumption increases ; each member ' s stock on hand . At last the market is fairly glutted . Then one farmer , or other producer , lowers his pricei that he may undersell the others . Others are forced to follow his example , though conscious that by so doing they are obtaining lets I and less for their labour . Even low prices will I not induce the members to buy more grain or more I of other produce than their moans will permit them { to consume : so that such relief is bui momentary , kt . il in uUl * V > A 4 t . 1 VF / V" » m 4 'vi At * t O .

But hero another difficulty presents itself . The means of productioa increase , bzbh . " ai h' 6 me and abroad . Tho foreigner requires Ies 3 and less . The EngUsV lamily must make more and inore . To induce a purchase , they reduce their prices bolojf those of the foreigner . ; , This increases thei diffioultyi To makeup for reduced prices , longer hours of work are necessary . More must be produced to make up the former sum . Still the markets are full 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 ia forced to taka her stand by the Bide of both . ThiHi but ' -. adds , fuel to the fire . At last the foreign market is glutted , as well ag the home market . The warehouses and granaries are weighed j down with wealth ; and the producers of all are compelled to starve to death because they cannot sell ; because they cannot pbogobe MONEY to bay the different articles of wealth every where ; abounding !!! beoauso the members of the family have , each one , so much wealth . ' that they cannot find means to exchange products with one another 1 ! because , in fact , they are oVER-supPLiEp with all the necessaries of life to such a degree , that THEY KKOW NOT HOW TO PRETEMT THEIR MEMBERS
\ 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 his own products to himself till he can either sell or barter them for other products he needs for his siistentation and comfort . Apply the supposed case to our actual condition : and consider , if such be 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 state is not ovER-supplied : and yet his want ' arises from OVER production ! The produce of his labour is not in his ownI 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 r and there he is ! starving , —Bto . vusE he has produced too much ! . ' I The Political Ecouomisfcs when they speak of tins impossibility of "over production" leave one cr two essentials out of their "calculation , which make all the difference between their conclusion and ours ! They forget , or will not remember , that there is buying aud selling in connection with our present Coaimercfal exchanges : and they also forget that buying and selling is necessary in order to other buying and selling . Tho accumulated - ' produce of labour must be sold , before other labour can be employed or bought . If the market is overstocked , no first buyer can pa found . If the first one IB wanting , the second is wanting too ! and thu ^ , ' all ia at a dead look , ! An anecdote told by an old friendj of ours , Whose . v teachings on this subject will not soon be forgotten by thouBands of tho working people , will , truly illustrate our present position . He represented two Manchester mea as having met in converse on the " hard times ; " and that Bill had just asked Joe , " when be thought times would mend * " The answer was : " I konno tell . Theaw knaws ' at warehawses ar' an fu 11 ; an " at we konno get wark ' till tber ' n emptit . Triey bonno' be emj'tit ' till we get'n brass to go beouy t' stuff .

V " A perfect picture of England ' s present oondition ! and a poser for the dealers of over-production 1 ! And is it always to be thus % Dees it necessarily follow that every increase in the . ' means of produoing wealth must lead to this dire result 1 Is that which must i in itself , be a blessing , always thus to prove a curse 1 ! Must it always be that an increase of wealth must increase our poverty ? Is not it possible to prevent otbr production , . with 6 u . fc . at the same time preventing the illimitable inorease of ¦ wealth . ' ! ..

It j does not necessarily follow that the increased and increasing poverty of the people must be the price of an increase in the means to produce natioaal wealth . // 'is possible TO PREVENT over pbo . dvjction , and yet allow of the illimitable increase of wealth 'I Other principles , however , and other practices , to tho 3 e adopted by our present' Commercial men maBp be brought ' into play .

It will bo seen ^ on reference to another ' column ,, that our Leicestershire friends have pnt G us ^ id ; jt " pretty considerable fix , " as Brother Jonathan would say . They have come to resolutions , whioh they recommend to theserious consideration of their Char- - tiat brethren thifoughout the Kingdom ; and in which they dissent very decidedly from some of th ^ opiniongj and censure very freely , some acts of the ; Executive , while they require » information ragarding othera Not to have published those resolutions would , ofbourse , have been . to " Burke" the resolutions of the people ; ' publishing them , we shall , of course , be said to "denounce" the Executive . Haying , therefore , ; no escape ; from both Scylla : and ( Charybdia , we . cfcobse to pablish them , and leave them to the people ' s consideratiori . And , while we do so , we will merely just -observe , that we think they merit the serions attention of the Executive . They ; come from a very ^ largeandim-¦ portant section Of the Chartist body ; to whose opinions and convictions considerable deference i $ due . We know that Chartifct 3 in other locaiitiea - besides ; tho 3 e of North and South Leicestershire hold similar opinions ; especially on the mattera referred " f /\ in fli « iinak rftartlntinn -. ¦ . -.

Individually , our opinion is that if the LeiceBtershire friends require only their own satisfaction on these matters , the business might have been better done by letter to tha General Secretary , than in thia public way . If , however , as Eeems to be the 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 , and we have no righVto prevent their doing go through our columns , as the acknowledged ^ Na ^ ioriai Chartist organ . ¦ Wo think their demand for explanation in the first resolution is almost aaiiague as the f : * atement 3 they requiro explaining . They should , in our jadfgment , have poiated out some ; if not all , of the particular " items of " postage , " and " agitating expshces , '' which they thinkineed exposition . This might have materially lessened the labour of explanation on'tha part of the Executive . : ; ¦¦ " : :: '
We sincerely hops that thfl assertion of the second resolution , that "the sixth article of the plan of ( organization , 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 a , s ^ i sociatioii , throughout the kingdom , ' has beeen neglected , " may prove to be unfounded . If this be indeed so , the Executive have grossly ; and shamefully neg- ' lected their duty jand have , wantonly and needlessly exposed themselves and the whole Association to much danger , which proper attention and a little trouble would havo preelnded ; if it be not so , our ; Leices ershire friends have been very hasty in their conclusions , aud are highly censurable for thiiir indiscreet public attack on : the Executive , oa a matter which they had always the means of knowing . - . - ' .
