COMMERCE . TIIE NEW STAPLE OF THE COUNTRY . RESTRICTION OF MACHINERY , AND EQUITABLE DISTRIBUTION—THE MEANS OF SUBDUING IT TO MAN'S WANTS . From the period that the uncontrolled use of machinery began to put socioty out of joint , down to the present time , when all are compelled to admit the fact , but lack courage to acknowledge the cause , statesmen and economists , politicians and . demagogues , bankers and merchants , manufacturers and landlords , have been endeavouring to devise some scheme , t * agree upon > omeplan , by which the several wealthy interests may be satisfied and harmonised , without
any violent organic change . The measure of Sir Robert Peel , twcepiDg and extensive as it is , is but another step in the same direction . He has hoped , vainly hoped , to frame such a piece of machinery as would'lead to tho necessary social change , without trenching upon the prescriptive rights or political power of any party . Until very recently there has been a shyness even upon the part of the Anti-Corn Law League to scrutinise the position of the landlords , their burdens , and privileges , very . minutely . Recently , however , this coyness has been thrown off , and the public mind has been diverted from the mo-¦ opoly of machinery to the consideration of the monopoly of land .
As early as 1838 , before the Corn Law League was in existence , wo shewed , in a series of articles , that society was wrongfully governed—that machinory had pounced upon us witli such an unexpected hop , step , and jump , that society was compelled to submit to such laws and regulations aa its owners thought proper to impose . That the laws of the couutry were enacted for an agricultural state of society , and although exhibiting strong symptoms of lordly influence , that , nevertheless , there was , up to the
enactment of tho Poor Law Amendment Bill , a strong recognition of the rights of the poor . In a well regulated state of society no necessity whatever would exist for a pauper fund . If labour had its rights , aud protection in tho exercise of those rights , every individual would be a recognised member of society , and the weak and unhealthy , the destitute and forlorn , of each family wyuld either be supported by their own members , or , if prudence saw fit , a national compact would bo entered into to provide nationally for those who could not provide for themselves .
The land being the natural inheritance of man , it very naturally followed that its usurpation to the uses of a few , would lead to the enactment of such laws as the constantly changing shite of society rendered indispensable . Every one of those burdens now complained of by the landed interest are part and parcel of this general necessity . Land was tho stapl » of the country ; and land , iu one shape or other , wai rendered amenable to the wants of sosioty , and the exigencies of the State . Hence , we find , that
although , the landlord class have been enabled to hold their relative position in society , as well as to partake of the increasing luxury of the times , that , nevertheless , they have not to auy wonderful extent augmented their fortunes ; aud for the plain and simple reason , because the peace of society demanded certain sacrifices at their hands—sacrifices which they would not have made if they could have safely withheld them , and sacrifices which tkey hoped to have arrested by their suicidal measure of 1 S 34 .
It appears , then , that land , bo long as it was the staple « f the country , was dealt with , in one shape or other , as though it was the property of the country ; and if the game of the squire starved the pauper , the puuper had a claim upon the squire for remuneration . The staple of the . country now is commerce ; machinery is the agent by which that staple ie manufactured , and the controversy in the end must be , how new laws can be enacted for controlling this now staple , aud subduing it , as the land was subdued to
the wants and necessities of man . All tho laws and all the dogmas of political economy , and all tho apothegms of its diiciples , will not satisfy a starving people . There is one rule of political eeonomy , the enforcement of which they will demand and command—it is , that when one channel of industry is cioscd , another is opened to the industrious . The great channel has for many years been narrowing , and now , for a limited period , threatens a further contraction .
Since 1834 , since the enactment of tho Poor Law Amendment Act , the agricultural channel has been almost exclusively limited to the use of theoretical landlords and experimental farmers . It was no longer open for the poor . There was a wide gate to each parish for all others but tor ' tho natural inheritor ; there was a narrow stile , and even that he could not pa . < s without having complied with whimsical conditions . According to tho rules of political economy , then , we demand the unconditional , the ui > reutricted opening of that only channel into which political economists would now divert the industry of the country . We do not stop tu split hairs , or
reason over nicely , while a Prime Minister threatens us with famine in less than two months , while we witness a eotemporaneous increase in the voluptuouauesa of the luxurious idle . We may regret the present scarcity , but our duty is of a higher nature , aud would carry us further than the mere desire to meet the threatened calamity . We seek to prevent the posibility of its recurrence , at least such a recurrence as shall mark the poor alone with its vengeance . . We have looked for that political chaos out of which order may come , and we now see distinctly before us the model of that new frame of society which the times demand and man ' s ncce : sities call
for . The first step in this great change was the routing , the overthrow , and disbanding of that party , wh : ' , by their possession of the land , had for centurin preserved the ascendancy of political power . It was impossible to deal with positive evils bo long as this comparative injustice stood in the way . There was no possible mode of keeping free trade agitators to the simple discussion of capital and labour , produce and distribution , so long as they were enabled to ride
off upon land monopoly , or fly away upOn th e Game Laws . It is the clearance of rubbish out of the way of the architect , the digging of the found ation to prepare for the new edifice , au indis pensable clearance before we could move in the new direction Much as we have written upon this subject before it became fashionable , we , nevertheless , deem its full consideration of such paramount importance as to cal ^ for its continuous development and unceasing agitation .
Land , we shew , has been the staple of the country , and its possessors have relieved themselves from their obligations to society , and , in return , socioty is about to relieve them of the onerous duties of selfrepr esenlatien . Commerce has taken the place of land , and has become the . staple of the country ; and society very naturall y will demand such a code of laws as will subdue this newly created national property to the fresh requirements of man . As the
threat of famine would render a very critical examination into its causes superfluous , so do the pressing demands of societyjoqually justify us in taking , in the fir * t instance , a wholesale , rather than detailed view of this new question ; while we , nevertheless , promise to anal yse it and lay it bare in all its parts . As we do not stop in the midst of lamine to inquiro into the rights of landlords to the extreme luxuries they enjoy , neither shall we enter into a very critical com-

parUon between manufacturers and operatives . We shall merely ebaerve , that whilst manufacturers complain of commercial distress , they are daily possessing themselves of tho estates of the abused landlords , while they boast ot their ability to pay off the national debt , and mock the extreme of voluptuousness itself b y their sensuality and increasing luxury . When they want trade , they complain of poverty ; when they want power , they boast of their riches , and demand a proper deference to wealth . oarUon between manufacturers and operatives . We
In the midst of such luxury , those who alone create it are , if not in a state of absolute want , in constant danger of absolute starvation . Their very existence depends not merely upon the calculation , but upon the nisvo whim , caprice , and even spite of their employers . Now , if the newly-created staple ii to be subdued to man ' s wants , we shall here state the only possible means by which this advantage can be conferred . We demand restriction of machinery to the extent of the labour market , not to the extent of the foreigner ' s demand for produce , but to the extent of the Englishman ' s claim for compensation . We demand the total abrogation of all poor laws and pauper funds , and we demand such laws as will lead to the EQUITABLE distribution of tho produce of labour and capital .
We devote our every moment ' s thought to this question of labour and capital , and we can devise no plan , even with the Charter itself , which will harmonise these two descriptions of national wealth , save the adaptation of the working of machinery to the amount of hands requiring labour , and such a distribution as will save England from the stigma ot recording the millions left by the first race of manufacturers , while she records at the same time the fact , that one in every ten of the producing classes is a parish pauper .
Tojeffect ourobject—that is , to insure the free opening ot the new channel of industry—we shall co » tinue weekly to advocate , not only the necessity , but the impossibility of much longer deferring the enactment of a Ten Hours' Biil ; and if that is found too long a period , to admit all to their fair and legitimate share of the NEW STAPLE OF THIS COUNTRY ; and if a labour reserve shall still continue to press upon their brother labourers as competitors , and
upon Bociety as paupers , we shall contend for an Eight Hours' Bill ; and so go on , adapting machinery to man ' s wants , and distributing EQUITABLY , not equally , its produce , until it becomes man ' s holiday instead of man ' s curse . There is more than enough created annually for all engaged in the working of machinery to live upon in comparative luxury ; and we see no reason why a purse-proud , noisy , upstart race of men should absorb all the national resources to their own kitidly use .

The fact of the matter is , that the Protectionists kave never had the really strong points of their case put before the public . They did not dare to ally themselves with those who alone could have done so , who alone have given the subject that deliberate and comprehensive codsideration which it demands , and who alone possessad the moral courage and intellectual powers necessary to have followed the League orators in their peregrinations , confronted them upon every platform , and prevented the public mind from being filled by the one-sided arguments of the large manufacturers , and the class who live by buying and selling . Conscious , at heart , that they were as little friendly to the rights of labour as the Leaguerstkattlie producer of com was as ill-paid , or worse The fact of the matter is . that Mr Prnfpntinni ^ a
paid , than the producer of cotton ; and fearing an honest and unshrinking dissection of the whole sub . ject , they allowed their active and unscrupulous opponentsto fill the public ear and eye ; to deluge the country with free trade notions , to . which they only opposed the ridiculous braying of such animali « 8 Sir John Tram-the cookery-book of his Grace of Nokfolk , or the bluster of his brother , the Duke of Richmond , whose declaration on Monday night , that the artisans in the manufacturing districts might be instructed that cotton would burn as well as straw , was a proof at once of tie height of his indignation , and the impunity with which his order can set the law at defiance . Had a working man made such a speech , the whole press of the country would have oeen up in arms to denounce him . But the Duke
escapes almost without rebuke . The speech of Mr . Bright , on Tuesday night , might be considered , in the continue' absence of Mr . Cobdkn , as the official declaration of the League upon the question under debate . The Ministerial measure is to have its support , the only blemish in it , according to Mr . Bright , being deferred , instead of immediate repeal . In this opinion ; many of the " farmers' friends" in the house coincide . Mr . Miles especially ^ declared , with great emphasis , and in the most distinct manner , that if they were to have tho
repeal at all , he for one , and he believed the feeling was a general one , would rather have it immediately than in 1840 . They wished to know the worst at once . Sir R . Peel blandly replied , that as the League intended in committee to move an amendment to that effect , they had only to vote with the opposition in order to carry their point . For hiraself he preferred Iu 9 own plan , but , If beaten , he would not throw up the measure . He would try to oblige them . We should not , therefore , wonder if we have immediate repeal after all .
Ihe most sensible and practical ^ speech delivered on the opposition side of the house was that of Sir Charles Napier . His description of his fanning , humorously as it was delivered , was replete with facts and instruction of the most important character . Let the landlords of Englaud follow his advice . Let them give their tenants long leases instead of long speeches . Let landlord and tenant unite in draining the land , and putting it under a superior system ol tillage , and they will not only supply all the wants of our home market , but have a surplus for others .
Ihe great event of the week , [ however , was the speech of Sir Robert Pkel on Monday night . It was one of his most brilliant elforts , whether looked at with reference to its matter or the animated style in which it was delivered . Dividing the debate into two parts—tho merely personal attack ' s on himself and colleagues , and the great question whether the measure proposed was such as the country required at the present crisis—he handled each in a peculiarly bold and masterly manner . To the personal attacks , he simply replied—Do with mo what you like—but don't rest my sina on the measure before
the house—take that on its own merits , if it ha * any . The people out of doors did not care one straw about their party differences , or tho way in which they were settled ; but the settlement of the question was to the country a matter of deep importance . He then proceeded to compliment the agri . cultural patty in the aggregate , and thence entered into further explanations as to theministcrial crisis of December—Ireland , as before , constituting his stron - hold as to tlie necessity for the measure ; but he took wider range than three years' to show the benefits of a relaxation of the protective svstera . He went
back to the time of Huskissoh , and , really , in the case of the silk and flax trades , made a most showylooking case . All this , however , was but preliminary to a clashing onset upon the little dogs who , for the past week , had been barking at him . Ho tomahawked them in the most scientific style , and in a leisurely way , that showed he took a great pleasure in tho job . Having despatched them , he concluded by an eloquent peroration a speech which amply vindicated his right to stand a » the leader of that house , not merely for his administrative talents , but for his peerless abilities as a debater and an orator .
The f-mall guns , however , are not to be silenced ; and at the time we write they are still popping away , and will do so , we suppose , until Friday night , when the dull farce will be put a stop to .

" A clever fellow is our Thomas , the Chartist , full of rough commoH sense , ami as much imagination as could possibly find room in £ lie . id so crammed with the hard knotty prosaims of politics . On tha present occasion he has essayed , in his own peculiar way , a . metrical story , which , although at times uncouth enough , is written ¦ with a heartiness that forms a pleasant relief to the namby-pamby rhymes of most of our poetasters who have sung of the moon and stars above , and the strsams with thft flowers below , till ordinary IoVks are sick and tired oi hearin- of them .

PARLIAMENTARY REVIEW . The question of tho condition of Ireland , introduced on Tuesday night by Mr . O'Coxnell , and the motion of Lord Beaumont in the Lords , for a committee to inquire into tho peculiar burdens upon land , so far from being interruptions to the great Corn Law debate , may be considered as subsidiary topics , growing naturally out of the main question . By directing attention to these separate branches of the subject , more light has been thrown upon the whole . The pressing necessity for the immediate settling of the question has been forcibly brought homo by the appalling revelations , in detail of the
famine and disease which has already begun to stalk through unhappy Ireland , and the more fearful prospective ravages they are likely to commit . At the same time , tho appointment of a committee to inquire into the peculiar burdens and exemptions of the agricultural interest ought to be accepted as a guarantee , that in making the ohanges imperatively demanded by the pressure of a great national calamity , and a new public opinion , no injustice will be done to that interest . Whatever grievances exist , or . whatever injury may be done by the proposed alteration , will be fairly inquired into and tested .
If the land does bear an unequal share of the national burdens , it will be seen where and to what extent this unfair pressure exists . A specific evil will admit of a specific remedy , and we have no doubt but that in the case of any demonstrated injustice being inflicted by the nation on the national food growers , a speedy adjustment will follow . We very much suspect , however , that " the cat will jump the other way . " If the amount paid as land tax in other oountries , relatively to the amount of the whole taxation of these countries , be contrasted with tho amount
derived from that source in this country , and the same proportion which it bears to the gross annual income of the country , it will be found , we believe , that the balance is eminently in favour of that class , who now most lustily exclaim that they aro unduly burdened . The debate on the main question has , upon the whole , been most intolerabl y dull . On the Free Trade side little novelty could be expected , the orators of the . League having worn threadbaro everything having the semblance of an argument that could b 6 pressed iuto the service . The Protectionist speakers presented as little variety , or rather as great
monotony , as a street organ in the hands of an itinerant music grinder . They seemed to labour under a species of monomania , of which the " one idea" was " Peel has done it all . " The gamut of scolding , in all its range , was run through against " Peel ' s desertion of his party , " "Peel ' streachery , " " Peel ' s inconsistency , " " Pekl ' s apostasy , " till one becomes sick of the reiteration . When not abusive they were prophetic , and sufficientl y gloomy were the predictions in which they indulged ; ruin to the tenant
farmers , and the workhouse for their families , were the very least of the consequences to be apprehended . Now , in this , we think , tlie landlords are by no means acting a judicious part , even for themselves : if their predictions aro not realised , they forfeit all claim to political sagacity ; if they arc , their tenantry will be aWo , out oi' their own mouths , to furnish those arguments for that alteration in the present system of holding and cultivating land ; which the contemplated change will undoubtedly compel .
From the common herd of ProtectioRist orators we must , however , except Lord Jons Manners , whose speech was equally creditable in matter and manner . Occupying a decidedly independent position , and attached to no particular party—for '' Young England , " if it ever was entitled to the epithet of a party , is now apparently defunct— " its namo is never heard "—he was able to act more freely than many who sat on the same side of the House . He agreed with the Protectionist party , however , in thinkiNjj that ft general election should have taken place upon the question ; and oven now recommended , as a course shorter , simpler , and less productive of hostility , the immediate oponing of the ports ; the suspension of the Corn Laws for six months ; and the occupancy of
the interval to consider , deliberately what is to bo done at the end of that term . In opposition to the ultra free trade doctrine , which would leave tho supply of food to be regulated by the ordinary commercial principles applicable to all other commodities , he adduced the authority of a distinguished foreign political economist , the Count of Milax , who says : — ' That statesmen ought to separate the subject . of * ood for the people from all questions of a purely commercial character . Men could do without wine or oil , but the first necessary of life—that which is essential to human existence—ought not to be subjected to the ordinary rules of commercial intercourse . " On this text Lord John preached a very fair Protectiohist sermon .
Mr . Miles , the leader of the high Protectionist party , in supporting the amendment of his relative , the member for Bristol , made a speech which , in many parts , induces us to think that he has been a tliiigent reader of the Northern Star , Ho showed , witk considerable force , that the groat enemy of the working classes was unregulated nvichinery and open competition , imderthe direction of large capitalists ; and though the unpopularity of the siilo of the question he exposed , caused less attention to be given to his statements on this point than they merited , the time is coming when they will l > o as popular , aye , and as powerful in the legislature , as the doctrines of the League now are .
