      THE PAST , THE PRESENT , _AXD THE FUTURE . TO THE MEMBERS 0 ? TIIE _LAN'D COMPANY ., Mv _Fkif . nds , I regret exceedingly that Mr Perry's incapacity to work , and his disinclination to speak tl . e truth , should have compelled me to devote so much time and space to so useless a purpose , bnt you must always bear in mind that it has been mv invariable

      practice to cut the groin : d from under all cavillers and a moment ' s reflection will convince you that 1 am right , as the breath of discontent , if not checked , would Soon increase to a hurricane of _general dissatisfaction , and the dissatisfied would soon become ihe heroes of Lloyd ' s , the Manchester Examiner , and the Advertiser press . But now I have done with this gentleman , ami devote tins wet day—Tuesday—to she consideration of more important matters . 1 find it indispensable to keep your minds alive to the CHEAT FACT that for years I have been _ensaeed

      in inculcating NEW NOTIONS about OLD THINGS , of which you were sedulously and purposely kept in a profound state of ignorance , and I aru about to qujte my own opinions from my printed works , upon some subjects , as well as the opinions now circulated by the press of the factions in this day . I have made it my life ' s study to bring thc Press , the ADVERTISING PRESS , ' the REPRESENTATIVE SYSTEM , the _NATIONAL CHURCH ESTABLISHMENT , the ABUSES OF MACHINERY , the ABSURDITIES OF THE

      LANDLORDS , the POWER OF CAPITALISTS , and the mod *; of APPOINTING MAGISTRATES and JURIES , into NATIONAL CONTEMPT , and 1 have propose I thc Charter as the political remedy , and the possession of land a * the social remedy , for _otie nnd all of thos * ; grievances . Famine is the present couscquwee of aU those abuses , and continuous suffering , dissatisfaction and discontent , arc the never-ceasing results of the system based upon them I have nearly exhausted the whole vocabulary of words in endeavouring to make you keep these subjects ever present lo your mind ; but , alas !

      when you were comparatively well off you were indifferent , and when sudden change made you positively miserable , you had not time to think , to to reason . * What I now require of you to believe is , that all the transactions which enable the few to plunder and oppress the many , are worthy of your consideration , as they constitute the causes of your inferiority , as v . e'l as of their superiority . I have asked you to think seriously of the anomaly of the idle never wanting food , while the industrious are frequently starving ; I have asked you to turn your attention to the difference between SLAVE

      LABOUR and FREE LABOUR ; audi have kept the _su' -ject of PRODUCTIVE and NON-PRODUCTIVE EMPLOYMENT constantly before you . showing you that you were , in reality , when best employed , victims to a system of non-productive labour ; I have shown you the difference between five millions worth of com aud five millions' worth of manufactured goods , * and I have explained thc difference , individually and socially , between

      TASKWORK performed for yourselves and SLAVE WORK performed for your masters , and of all men living ! have been tlie most editeisteat opponent oi the <; ORr _" - _ AAV * _ EAG _ E , _*_ n _' _dnow _^ I would direct _your-i * nainde d _> tte _$ tion lo > ur . present' _mpnejary position , _wlioliy ar i sing from a disregard of those several subjects and matters of which you have been kept in culpable ignorance by those whose duty it is to instruct you . You recollect how often I have

      The Past, The Present, Axd The Future. T...

      complained that the portion of the Press which opposed Free Trade from party feeling , was ignorant , wholly ignorant , ofthe effect that if . would really have upon your comforts and means of living . Well , just read the following letter , which appeared in the fiforniug Post of Saturday last , and from it you will Jearn , that it is only now , WHEN TOO LATE , that the disciples of that paper are asking for the solution of a CONUNDRUM , which 1 have a thousand times solved for you . Here is the letter : —

      THE PRICE OF BREAD . TO TKE _EDeTliR OP THK _HORNIj-G POST . Sir , —As you seem not averse to economical inquiries that relate to the condition of the poor , perhaps you will favour your readers with some explanation of a circumstance of much importance to the poorer _classes—the price of bread . It seems difficult to account fur its being somewhat higher here than in France ; though in that country the price ol wheat is at least 25 per cent , hi gher that * in this ; nevertheless , the pain de i livres which weighs at least 4 ilbs . imperial , is nowhere in France higher than 20 ma ., which is nbout . _Ojjd . of our money ; our loaf bein . ' nowhere less than 9 » d ., and in London

      10 . 1 . When we consider the greater value of money , as well as the vastly highirprice of wheat in France , this difference _Beenn-vtry unaccountable ; but J am not awure that it has ever received tbe notice of the press , still ought it to remain unexplained ? Thc chard _. ter ofthe trade , if tbis difference can be justified by a fair regard to their interests , and the interest of the public , if this difference cannot be justified , both call for explanation , and to pursue tbat _explanation seems not unworthy of your efforts . I am , Sir , your obedient servant , April 9 , 1847 . Scrutator * Now , here is a philanthropist , asking a question , of course for the BENEFIT OF THE POOR , after

      Free Trade lias been achieved , and is ignorant of the fact , which I have so often proclaimed , " that no STATUTORY ENACTMENT could regulate the retail price of bread , when tbe merchant , the importer , the factor , the miller , the flour factor , the baker _. and the huckster , had each a WHOLESALE SLICE out of the RETAIL LOAF . " You must , iu the end , open your eyes to these things . I told you , last week , that , on the 7 th , the Bank of _Englaud had returned the ntbjor part of FOUR HUNDRED THOUSAND POUNDS' WORTH of the ROTHSCHILDS' PAPER , and would not discount it , ar . d 1 announced to yon , that a great monetary crash was at hand . Now , read the money market note of the Times ot last Monday , and the rise in the price of YOUR BREAD , which has since taken p lace . Here is the article from the Times-. —

      MONEY-MARKET AND _CilY INTELLiGENCE - Saturday Evening . In thc _Ent-lbh Hiarket this has been tho _inest g ' oamy clay which has occurred during the present pressure—a circumstance amply to be accounted for by the Gazette returns of the liank of England for the week ending the 3 rd inst . Consols opened at _SSJ to -I . . ind declined to 8 d"g to ii . I _' rora this a reliction took place up to 8 _CJ , but the improvement was only tern ; orary , and at the close ofthe business they had again fallen to & 5 J to J for money , and SoS to SO lor the May account . Alter tbe ordinary hours < jf business the decline still continued , and the money

      quotation was as low as S 5 i to _g . Thc weekly accuu'its ot ifcc liank published to-day justify to the fullest extent the _apprehensions with which they were awaited , and the fatt that they are of a character t _* i excite serious alarm arises not so mucn from the actual _circumsancts _ofourmonetary condition as irom the apparent absence of all prudent _cuutrol , or of any _refevuice to correct principles in the _mani'gcmcr . tof the busineis of _thatcstabl- 's . * :-meiit . Five _miliicns of bullion have been drawn away liming the present year , and this has been effected , ' not by the _yutuic paying in Bank-notes to that amount , which would have betn cancelled , nor by _dimiui- _* hin { : the deposit !* , but by their discounting

      an a-iditi < -cai quantity of bills with the liank itself , whoso _eoiuluet in permitting such an enornum *; increase in its securities has thus been absolutely suicid . il . The ! strung expression of public opinion h ; _is at leii' _-th compelled {¦ , tartly and evidently a rdu-.-tant adoption ot sunie precautionary measures , and these , late as they arc , nifty still , it is to be hoped , go Jar to anest the evil , without the necessity of applying them with n _strk'ge _.-cy which would seriously _jeopardize the state ; ot commercial credit . If this should novel to be ; tiie case , it must be clearly borne iu mind that we nre indebted for our security , not to _prudence t-i foresight , or to firm adherence to principle bv tiie _ . ii _; k _, but to the improved intelligence ot the

      _public , ttJiich has _resiuted irom their rice access to . - « ki ! _i > wk'dj * e oi the state ofthe Ikuk accounts , ami to tiie j _/ os'tive restriction placed upon the _pcbsible amount 6 f issues by tlie _jtovUiotis of _Ssir Robert Peel ' s bill . Tne Bank Directors , notwithstanding this <; bs : > lute limitation ofthe auwunt oi notes which titer may put forth , have persisted _during three moIitSis in coiitiuualty _it'ereasing their iiivcs _munts in securities , while their bullion and their bat-king reserve were at the _turue time _ui . eiei going an enormous ieduction . Under these circumstances , therefore _, it is ca _* * y to judge what would h & vc urn- the result if tiieciscietiouary power ol issuing notes

      without any absolute re-friction of tbe amount by Jaiv had still _itniiiince - with thera ; thc spirit in wliich it would have beeu exorcised and the extent to whk-h it _woulel ii . _'ire _l-ecn pushed can be plainly estiHi _& _tcd . The drain of bullion would have srone on unchecked by any _restrictive measures , the securities wouK . have teen iurtlier increased by extended discounts for ihe so-called relief of commerce and the nipper * of _public credit , and the community would have been left unwarned , and therefore unsuspicious , t-f ti : c ci * i _** is in whieu such a course must inevitably have terminated . Now read the following TRADE REPORT from Julm _lirieht _' s FREE TRADE PAPER ; and bear in

      mind , always bear iu mind , that if our FRLE TRADE COULD HAVE A FAIR START , it was when we required such an immense importation of _FOREIGN CORN , lor which OUR A / _ANUi- 'ACTUKED GOODS WERE TO HE TAKEN IN EXCHANGE . HERE IS JOHNNY'S TALE . STATE OF TRADE . ( Fit'ii the _ManchesterF . ranuner . ) > lAXciiEsri * i :. —In few instances can any but a _tritiiti- * ; _ed vatic- bv established upon thc recently current iiiw prices of ' _geoJs aud yarn , notwithstanding the late sf . vance in tbe cotton market . Prices ate tolcrabiv linn—iirmcr . undoubtedly , than they would

      have been but fur the advance alluded to . There has been , however , wry little business doing since Tucsd _* y , partly tvom protiuuevs being under tho necessity ot ' _iiiskiiigsiigiuly increased rates , ai . d also from the obvious effect o : ihe two recent bank measuies to curtail mercantile operation and induce the exercise of extreme caution in forming mm engagements of eiery description . There are fair orders in the hands ot buyers , &; id should no material advance in prices take place * , a moderate extent ol business must ere long be transacted . » The chief demand at present seems to be for medium qualities of shirtings , of which

      there weie but light stocks in the market , and for other goods suitable tor the American and eastern markets . The present state of matters will have a direct tendency to increase short-time work _int ; and theteby keep down production to a level u it tithe present , _diniiiii > iied demand , and thus prevent any undue ; enhancement ot the price of tlie raw material , which , under existing circumstances ? , would only adit to the difficulties in which spinners and manufacturers arc placed . The reaction in thc food markets , both in England and the continent , we ure glad to say , still continues .

      Vou have , now , ihe lucubrations of the Press upon many subjects connected with Free Trade and thc monetary system . " After the steed has been stolen they would now shut the stable door . " Now , attend to the reasoning of that COMICAL GENIUS , Feargus O'Cuuuor , upou those several points . And firstly , as regards the AFTERTHOUGHT OF SCRUTATOR , taken from the "MORNING POST" of SATURDAY last . " I tell you , my friends , not to be deceived about the omnipotence ot Parliament ; as no measure that it can pass wiil regulate the price of the loaf upon your table , wiien the foreign speculator , the importer , the corn merchant , the miller , the flour factor , the baker , and the huckster , shall each have had dieir REPRESENTED SLICE out of it . ' Now , how many thousand times have you heard me repeat that ?

      Next for the crash threatened for thc demand for gold to buy foot ! . I have to _' . d you that foreigners would please themselves , and would make merchandise of our necessities , and would not give food for goods , ' if they _( could jet gold and , purchase goods with , fhe _^ gpld . ' _iupiuivfbpttpr" _tci-nis . '' _^ nd " now I « -apnhlVJh the _^ _-ioliowirig' extract _-from , the very preface of _tac'tt 6 Mfll 3 _H '( _fENIlfe _* 1 j '' _'wo » iii _'" on Swill Farms : — I , upon the contrary , while I admit the minute and indissuli bid connection which exists between those several interests , would make agriculture the source ,

      The Past, The Present, Axd The Future. T...

      and all others tributary streams flowing from it . Indeed ! f I would rest satisfied with , basing the argument upon a mere sweeping assertion , I could establish my position from . this one fact : that , although under even { be preseot limited and vicious system , agriculture is treated as a mere secondary consideration _, and although the difference between the value of a gond and a middling harvest is , in point oi amount , comparatively insignificant , and positively so when compared with the year ' s produce of machinery , yet do we find that the prospect ofa good or a bad _harvest has a ranch more powerful effect upon thc other three interests unitcdlv than any other consideration could _mr-sib ' _- v have . It _pives the standard value to real

      money , because artificial money cannot be successfully used in th © natural market , Ilvas , if twenty millions' sterling worth of British goods were sunk to the bottom ot the sen , it would be a final advantage to 998 in every thousand , whereas if the difference between a good and a bad harvest required five millions sterling to supply tbe deficiency , the necessity for such a drag would paralyse all other interes ts which are regulated by the artificial stand ard . If , then , our present artificial system merely _ntmrs a narrow market for speculation in human

      labour to the greatinjury of a vast majority of society , an < " if this injustice can be _cnly checked by opening the natural market so wide that all may be enabled "to buy in the cheapest and sell in the dearet-t market , " I think the working classes are justly entitled to demand the fulfilment of this principle of political economy , the justice of which is admitted by all , and the immediate necessity for acting upon which is so loudly advocated by those who demand ¦ ' high wage's , cheap bread , and plenty to do for the working classes . "

      So much for the very exact amount mentioned in the market note of the Times of Monday , the very FIVE MILLIONS that I wrote about iff 18-13 . And now for John Bright ' s lamentation , which the COMICAL GENIUS predicted in the 8 th and 9 th pages of his work on Small Farms . Here it is : — Much that I have written in newspapers upon this subject has had its weight with the factory slaves , and , as I intcnd . _this work to form a complete compendium , I shall here condense from those publications thesocial and political bearings of theJanded question . Socially , then , it will he admitted , that of late years tlte bulk of the population have been starving in the midst of a surplus capita ) created by their industry ,

      and so reduced in value by the substitution of machinery for their labour ; und whereby tbey have ceased to be wholesome ! or profitable consumers , as not to be worth more than one per cent . Reraetly after remedy ha « bsen proposedfor this great national disease , as power hns passed from the hands of one party to the other : the landlords arraigning the savage tyranny ofthe manufacturers without having the courage or the honesty to place the people in a condition successfully to contend against their atrocities ; the manufacturers , upon thc other hand , contending for an extension of that trade , the overstock of which has already brought ruin upon the country , and each extension of which will but add new _misforttines . ui ] tilat ! ength , SIIOULDTIIEY _ E POWER .

      FUL ENOUGH TO SUCCEED , TIIEY WOULD BECOME BANKRUPT IN TIIE MIDST OF AN ARTIFICIAL ABUNDANCE . Now , what will John think of that prophecy in 18-13 ? I have now one more extract from this comical work , upon a subject on which I have been frequently questioned ; and the reader wil ] see that my prediction on that point has been also realised , or in course of realisation . The following extract is frora pages 13 and 14 of my work on Small Farms : —

      The question may here arise , then , as to which of the changes that 1 contend for should have the priority : —the _establishment ot the small farm prin ciple , or the enactment of the People ' s Charter , by which the , ' asd would be stripped of its _political qualification ? 1 was _engaged for ' some years with the working classes in their struggle for politic . il emancipation , before I ventured to introduce the subjectof the Jand for their consider . ' ition , well _Jiuoiving that a time of artificial commercial _prosperity was not tho most fitting for the entertainment of so large a question . Perhaps , therefore , I may be pardoned if , in the course ofthe rcraaiks that I am about to make , 1 shall be guilty of a usual error , that _« _. f

      est minting * the forirardness of tlie public mind upon this subject by the amount of _thought which I hive given _^ to it myself . In answer , therefore , to the question that I have propounded , I should say , that without political power the system never could be made ¦ 'o general as to be of national benefit ; while , up ; . n the other hand , I do no * , believe that any other inducement , save - ! ri . it of the practie . il result of the plan of small farms , ever will _besuftieicRtly strong to produce snch a public feeling as will _brii-g into moral action such an amount of mind in favour ol

      both change ! -, au neither minister or party won u dare to resist . T ! icr . ' . _ci'C , from this reasoning I incline to think lhat the po ? . i "ts ' 'Km of politic ; . ! _p-Mcr is indispensable as a means for making tbe plan of free labour a national benefit ; while 1 am further of opinion , tbat no _writing , no talking , t _. o reasoning , no _declamation , no osapecration , can have the _cfi-ct of _eniistiiifr , in support of the small farm plan , the one hundredth _pi-i' _-of tbat _thought and _inind which the jurat tice , if seen toa _tomidri-ablc extent , woul produce .

      I will now give you , from page 149 of that book , my reasons fov enforcing the small proprietory plan and from all these quotations from a work written lour years ago , when the anticipations from FREE _TUAD !! were so high , and when the public mind was so indifferent to those subjects to which 1 was endeavouring f or many years to draw attention , _vr-u will say whether or not 1 have been at least CONSlSTIiXT . Here is the extract . — Firstly . To create certainty in the labonr market . Secondly . To establish an uncrriri' ; standard of thc value of lab . mrin the free _lab-mr market , _whci-oby its value in the artificial market may bu nscer * _tuiiied .

      Thirdly . That the capitalists who mako fortunes by other men ' s labour shall _heiirc-. ' orth hire that labour in the free labour market , \> herein every nun will have arrived at a _knowledge of its full _vn ue , instead of , as at present , _liirin _*; that-lab -mr frem t' : C reserve ol a system-made surplus _populatt . ti , and which is regulated wiioily and entirely by tin ) amount of system-made paupers in thc matket . ' Fourthly . To in- ure some wholesome _ronu' _-ati'Ui ato demand and supply , whereby the capitalists wili be prevented from drugging tbe markets oftlie world with the produce of cheap l .-tbour . _^ Fifthly . To enable the legislature to make _lawg for the promotion of molality instead of living upun depravity _.

      . Sixthly . To enable us to dispense with that heavy load of taxation nowsa ' ulto be requisite fur keeping the _dissatisfied in subjecti'm . Seventhly . To create a feeling of self-respect in the minds of the _working classes , by _tiiak'nji _su-.-ls a com' ' ¦ lien t part of the human family , nnd ' thereby _attachinu all to ti : » ve institutions which render them piotettionin return for tlieir support of them . And Eighthly . To _i ! c . * _ti-o . v my own and all other _deraagoj-ues' trade , by enabling the people to do for themselves that whieh tlicy now rely upon political _trafiii'kc'i _* - to ilo for them . One of these days , I shall BE ABLE to refer to other predictions—such as the abandonment of EXPENSIVE COLONIES . THE CONFISCATION

      OFTHE ESTABLISHED CHURCH PROPERTY , cud the addition of a MINISTER OF DUNG to the Cabinet . And now fur my principal reason iu _renVvmnng you oi these things . Some weeks ago I told you that I would not _receive payment of LAND MONEY IN HANK ORDERS ; nnd yet many local secretaries continue to send remittances in that way , which puts mc to POUNDS' EXPENSE , to save the Locality pence ONCE FOR ALL , THUN , I WILL NOT BE ACCOUNTABLE FOR MONIES SO SENT , UNTIL THE PRESENT GLOOM IS GONE . I also requested all secretaries to send an

      account to the office of all monies paid to my credit through banks , since the 12 th _Deccm-ier inclusive , but not one has answered . Now , as 1 shall be held responsible fov those monies , I have a riglit to DEMAND INSTANT COMPLIANCE with this moderate request : that is , that all secretaries who have transmitted their monies by BANK ORDERS , fov the week ending 12 th December , and every week since , will INSTANTLY TRANSMIT A CORRECT LIST OF DATES AND AMOUNTS to Ihe LAND OFFICE . There never has been a lanre NATIONAL CONCERN so creditably managed from tlte commencement , and it must not'be marred now bv

      neglect . I have now given you the full benefit of two wet days this week , so that , a * 1 _*•«? . „ < ' no ii \\ c time , tho _* e for flliom 1 work must work for themselves . Your faithful friend , _Fgargus O'Connor . . '¦ !> imi _* mnumaiBa * m ¦ mrt _. Ml ' _iiln , < . « , '

      THE MECHANICS . Our readers will perceive , by an announcement in another column , that MrRoBERTS is about to publish a verbatim report of this most important trial . Wc trust that every working man in the kingdom will read it from end to end , and more than once , so ( hat when brought by a "Jones" before a " Lyon and Stubbs , " he may know where to lay his finger on those particular points of law , and liberty and common sense which those distinguished characters are doomed to be ignorant of all the days of their lives .

      We had in ! ended to give the summing up of the learned judge in this week ' s Star , but Mr Uoheh . ts ' announcement renders this unnecessary . When we have the whole trial before lis we shall be able to _commeat on the principles involved in it . In the meantime , we are happy in being able to state tha * the most beneficial effects have already resulted . Several men on picket— -walking up and down and

      talking to strangers and to each other—who , before the trial , were _constancy molested hy the police , arc now suffered to follow their peaceful aud honourable avocation without any disturbance or interference . Wc are glad of this , not only as it shows that constables are not above learning the law , hut that they are capable aiso of reading the Northern Star . If they will continue this commendable practice , thev will be all the better for it .

      The '82 Club. After Pouring The Grossest...

      THE ' 82 CLUB . After pouring the grossest insults upon the Repealers who dared to exhibit anything like mental independence , or a love of fair-play , John O'Connell , at a recent meeting . nt the Hall of Humbug , proposed Union ouce mere , and whined out a piteous appeal tothe secessionists to return . John and his gang , not forgetting " the warm-faced patriot , " the _glorlfier ofthe " august leader , " fmd that the game

      is UP ; hence their new-born toleration , and fraternal advances towards the men they formerly _s-a filthily abused and so brnta-ly insulted . But this holding out of the " olive branch" on the part of " my son John , " is not likely to excite the desired response . Of the society named at the head of this article , one member dares to be honest and bold . The following letter does the writer of it much credit : — Rahe-ny , Dublin , March 27 , 16 * 17 .

      Sir , —I avail myself ofthe _approaching _noctin _^ of the' 82 Club , ( the first that has been ealled since the secession of July last , ) to requestyou will remove my name from tlie list of members . In taking this step , it is due to the _aeutlemcn of the ' 82 Ciub to state- my reasons for _Trititdratring from an association , for very many nierabi-rs of wliich I entertain respect and _esteem . It must be fresh in tlie recollection of the members of the Club , that in the month of October last si poition of my _fellow-countiymen elected me chairman ot" a meeting held for the purpose of remon * tratir , g against certain proceedings of a _* Ir _Jelin O'Conrefl in the Repeal As _^ ciation , in July last . A remonstrance wan adopted , and , as chairman . I had the

      honour and _plea-nre of _ti-ininir it . _Tkat remonstrance was presented to the Repeal Aswciation . and _nnkreeUo bs "fiung into the stree _' , " by Mr John O'Connell , in a manner as petuhnt a * * it wa-. _tlisgracefu ! to Wm as a public man . Whas was equally disreputable , Mr O'Connell sanctioned this unworthy conduct . Under these circumstance * -, I feel assured that every _nit-mber ofthe ' 62 Club wil ! ailmit the propriety of ray withdrawing from a _society of which Mr O'Connell is prtsideut , and bison still a member . I have tho honour to remain , Sir , voars , Ac * , William _Rtaj _* . To Ankew Russell Stritcb , E * q ., . Secretary , ' 82 Club .

The Commons resumc-d their sittings r . f _« er the Easter recess on Monday ; and , judging from their proceeding- during the week , up to the time we write , have felt very much like masons and joiners on Monday morning after a day ' s cessation from work : they have not yet got rid of tlie stiffnessaw \ _wat-neti fairly to their work . _Notwithstanding the rumours that it is the decided intention of Ministers to pv . sh business on as rapidly as possible in order _that Parliament mav be dissolved carlv \ n

By the way it may be noted , with reference to tbe „ rget amendment or . that measure intended by Mr Duncombe , that two of the most _olvnoxieus clauses tie Act contains were not in the Bill , as introduced i y Lord John Russell .
