      price of everykind of food was always the same at that store . JEvery member paid a halfpenny ont of every shflline received to the sick . fnBd , ( Rule 23 ) ont of which the adults , incapable of labour , . by sickness , accident , &c , received the ' same as when they -were at work . If a father died he left no widow and children unprovided for , and if both father and mother died ., they left no friendless orphans to beg or to go to a prbon work-house . The Society in these cases stood in tfie place of parents , and the survivors were as well provided for as before . Thus all the members of Ralahine Association , from the youngest to the oldest , were not only relieved from DovertY . hut also from the fear of poverty , "both for

      themselves and their children . And if , all pur population were formed into similar associations , -which is the easiest thing in the worlS , the motherless child , and the destitute -widow and orphan "would be unknown . Now , compaie the condition of the married agricultural labourer at Ralahine , receiving only eight-pence per day , or four shillings per week , and his wife five-pence per daror two-Bhillings and sixpence per week , with that of a superior mechanic in Liverpool , earning five shillings per day or thirty shillings per week , and in constant

      employment , each family having , as "we will suppose , four children under ten years of age , both families residing in nouses of equal value , earing the same quantity of the same kind of provisions , drinking the same drink , wearing the same kind of clothing , sleeping on the same kind of bed , the same instruction for their children , and the same means of improvement and pleasure for themselves , because this is the only fair way of making the comparison .

      . TO THE EDITORS OF THE . NORTHERN STAR . Gtxtlemes , —Perhaps yon will have seen ic the -Leeds Tunes the question of machinery discus , « ed , betwixt an operative and a person who signed himself "M ; and probably you vrill have perceived in ths latter pereeirs letter , " inserted in ( he above paper of the 10 th February , that he complains that the operative has omitted to answer several points , which he had called npon him to do in a previous letter , inserted in the same paper , -of the 6 th January . I have endeavoured , in the rfoHowing letter , to meal those point *; whether successfully , or not , I wished flie public to judge . The Editor of the Leede Times , however , has refused its insertion , and calk it fair play : I think other * riw , and , consequently , beg the favour of its insertion in the Northern Star . AN OPERATIVE . -Gildersome , March 27 th , J . S 38 .

      To the Editor of the Leeds Times . -iSor , —^ After all , it appears that the calamities which have overtaken the poor operative are bat a dream ; that his shoe pinehes not , though the foot blisters in ita imprisonment ; that to speak of his miseriesa * realities , is to endanger one ' s veracity . and to involve one ' s self in endless contests and disputes . Mj opponent has noticed , ic the first paragraph of his last letter , three several omissions , of which I have been guilty in myreply do his first letter .

      First omission . —I have not shown that the extraordinarT increased population , in all the great seats of . bur staple trades is consistent with my notion , that the nse of machineryJessen 8 the demand for labour . Now , if 1 could prove that this increased population in the great seats of -our staple trades were coriastent with my notion , I do not know that it would materially-affect the argument in my favour . I will , however , endeavour to account for these great gatherings of thejieople into such enormous masses . Before machinery was introduced , all our manufactures-were managed under the domestic system , and distributed over a great extent of country . In those times the operatires had very few reasons of

      complaint that were not -derived from their own miscondurt ; and a * teady indnstrions -workman rras ' conadered by his master as an acquisitien ; times in which , no man "with anv pretention to character , relative to skill in his calling , ever snffered from want of employment . JBnt ihe age of machiasry arrived with the steam engine in its van , and gave to the eapitaKstj besides the benefits of the merchant , those advantages , -which , as . society was constituted , properly belonged to that portion of the people , the remnant of which are new caDed domestic manufaefcarenf . What has been ihe result ? The anni - hilation nearly of that once nseful body of domestic -manufacturers , and the removal of aU that

      labourout of the country of -which they were the : dispensers ,-to those receptacles of nee , which ., my- opponent calls th * great seats of © nr staple . . fcades .. Thither , therefore the labourere , whjch ifa ^ etfliore peopled our eaontry . vilkges hare rlockea . / Besides these" there is another portion iof the people £ F » less fixed , and more varied character , the offspring ef every cdunt ^ in the three kingdoms . DriTen tir ¦ iiecessiQr , arising from want of work , these desuthte wretches repair to these great seats of our alaple teades , as their forlorn hope . Now these sreihs sortof people thatswell the population of the great teats of oar staple trades ; and shall we contrast their conditien with , what it was 50 or 60 years . ago ? i . Wiotnews . the miseries which , these

      destitute . crgatane * safiier w . these splendid seats ? Tie , riffltingmiaister ' * description of the state of . the poor m Llverpppl may w dpuht be very correctly applied to the situation of ntimbersof the poor in townVof Leeds .

      Clothing and furniture pawned , and debts incurred . Disease caused , increased , and prolonged , by the want of all that promotes convalescence . I have no hesitation in saying , that an xmsdspe ' cted amount of human existence , must be annually sacrificed intins and other great towns from simple and absolute starvation . " 2 nd . Omission : —That I have not attempted to deny that the enormous increase in the importation of all kind of raw materials used by us since 1801 , coupled with the greatly diminished cost of every kind of wrought fabric ,-establishes my opponent s position , that machinery , by lowering the price of goods , increases the consumption , and thus corrects its primary tendency to throw workmen out of

      employ . I believe that the importation of all kinds of raw materials , has greatly increased in their amount since 1801 ; but deny that the consequence of this increase , is an increased demand for manual labour ; because a rist in the demand for 3 uch labour would certainly have advanced its price , which , is well known not to oe the case ; for the fact is , that manual labour has suffered a great reduction , in the midst of all this increased consumption of the raw material . Therefore if wemay be allowed to judge , by the established rule , that abundance lowers in price ah marketable articles , and that a scarcity advances it , my opponent ' s position is false , relative to increased importation of the raw material and cheap fabrics being the cause of a greater demand

      for manual labour . If this had been my opponent s position , that the great increase of oor importations coupled with the introduction of machinery had exalted onr great manufacturers , at the expense of the labouring community , by enabling them to supply the world with such an enormous supply of cheap fabrics , comparatively , with the assistance of so little of mannal labour that a reduction had taken p lace in the operatives' wages , so serious as to have involved them in the greatest difficulties and distress ; he would , I believe haveheen muchnearer the truth and ranged himself on the side of all the facts of the case . That cheap fabrics benefit certain classes of society is a palpable truth . But who . and what are they ? Not , I presume , the poor operatives who work eighteen and nineteen hours a-Jay , and once or twic ^ a week night through for , from 4 s . Ud . to 7 s .

      a-week ; with them the purchasing of cheap fabrics is clearly out of the question . It is the toreigner , who reaps the advantage of cheap fabrics ; and in our own country men of fixed incomes and high salaries ; ths fashionable world , who ride in chariots , to fancy balls , iu fancy dresses , and who interlard the pnttic prints \ vith their representnHojis of French Counts , Highland Lairds , etc , while the poor wretches who create the menus of all this parade and outlandish pomp , aie shivering in their novels , perhaps without fire ; in rags , that scarcely can" be said to cover their nakedness . No doubt , if the amount of the reduction of the labour , could be r . scertair . ed , which go to the furnishing'ont , of nil the grotesque costumes , and dashing foppvries of a fancy ball , and the injustice and robaery of such reduction could be fairly brought home to the consciences of such assembly , it would be enough to redden their faces with shame .

      " Third omission . 1 have not accounted for the astonishing ^ ad ditions made to our fiseil capital c ' . u rin £ the last 40 or oOyears , in road . s , canals railways , mills , and machinery , on a different theory to that advanced by . my opponent : viz ., th : vt macliinpry adds to the whole produceof tae capital sunl labour cf the-country so greatly , fmt after providing fur ' tlie ordinary and sufficient suppl y of our daily iiational wants , it enables our capitalist to sink tlie surplus in the various objects enumerated / ' Now , has my opponent , really , the hardihood to include in this daily national pro \ -isi pn , the want ? of the great body of the labourers of this kingdom , and to . say H ' ithout a blush that 1 $ ie supDly Ls sufficient ? I know that ; i cnlJ calculating self-interest , led on bv ambition , is

      capable of freezing up the butter feelings of human nature , and burying all the nobler impulses of the soul in the apathetic tomb at jt were , of thick ribbed ice ; and , however relurtantly , I can scarcely avoid attributing my opponent ' ^ r «? as .- > nin < rs aiid resnlts , to a mind of tlu ' s characlpr . He appears to look upon machinery with all the enthusiasm , that a young and ardent lover looks upon hh mistress , and with ihe same recklessness of const-qni'iict's , is determined on possession , at "hatewt cost t » others . Their is , however , thisJiffcvence iu the comparison j that the accomplishment of the design , in the first instance can only ' aiiect -one or two fiuujlii's but in . lho second nil the families of the work jig pnp--olntion ri'iscrally speaking , are deeply injured . lint this s-.-eras to ha of no cousuunMi'"t , no

      cop .-iderafinu at- all . CspitiJ , capital , eajrt . i ! . is the cbarm . the' talisman that seals up all tlie avenues to the heart ; the mania of Englishmen ; their warranty to ransack the globe , and disturb the qniet of the world . In bygone day ? , the sword was the instrument by which nations were subjugated and robbed ; but our niodenishave found machinery to be fur better for the purpose than % ven the sword . For , instead of our nspinmt-s hanug to wad »? to wealth through the bli'Dil of it » owners , machinery with its pumps and suckers , does tho thiup quietly ami neat ! v , with a > ort of legerdemain . It shoots ivjD'hIv throngb the head , spits ucbody upon -the point of the bayonet , blows nuLuily w the inooii by s : ip and liilrt ,- ; but pi-Tfor : ns a )] it * Uniting operation * in ojk-ii day and all seems to go on as if there was lio robbery at all .

      In the cotton branch the rubbery of thehr . ii'l-loony weaver , owing to th-j introduction of machinery k : is been enormous . The evidence of Joseph Foster , with others , before a Committee of the House of Commons which I introduced in my Inst letter , proves that the hacd-looin cotton weavers wages , in Glasgow , Carlisle , Manchester , Blackburn , and of course in all the other seati of thf cotton l . ranch , have been pulled down 15 s . per week . In the worsted branch , Wilkinson's letter asserts that wages had lowered TO per cent . In corroboratfon of this person ' s statement . 1 shall take the liberty of introducing to your readers , an extract from " an article headed Keighley in the Northern Star . A committee appointed to investigate the condition of the hand-loom weavers in the parish of

      Carlton-cam-Lithersdale , have published tlie following statement . " The number of-houses visited were 1 * 1 ] , containing 1 , 100 inhabitants , and 438 cotton anil worsted looms ; 117 of the worsted looms were fully or partially employed , and the average amount earned by their 117 looms for the last ninernonths , is £ 27 . 2 ^ . 6 a . which , when £ 18 . 17 s . 9 d . the amount of rent , fire , candles , soap , andwear and tear of looms is deducted , there remains £ 8 . 4 s . 9 d . to be divided arnpiigst 300 persons , amounting to sixpence three farthings a head a per week , for food , bedding , and clothes . " Relative to the woollen branch I liare to say , that 1 am perfectly satisfied that the statement given in my last letter , namely , that the wages for spinning and -weaving had fallen fifty per

      cent , vras under the mark ; and that this fall has taken place within the last twenty-five years . It will be seen by the following fact , that since the introduction of . machinery . the woollen weavers' circumstances have -greatly deteriorated . An ag ^ d weaver , who occupies a dwelling in a row of cottages , in one of which I reside , was an out-weaver tifty years ago for Mr . Lees , of Halifax . - The work . was brought into the neighbourhood by -the employer . Since I commenced . writing this letter , ! have asked this aged WeavVr how mnch he could earn per week under Mr . Lees . Hi * answer was short . The web came to sixteen shillings , and I could weave one easily in four days . There is another weaver , in the prime of life , who also occupies a a dwelling- in

      the same row , and is now an out-weaver for a factory not far from the Commercial Buildings . This person does not average six shillings per -week , deducting from the price of the web the expense of carriage , . sizing , and winding . In the former case , miik , which is now eightpenee per gallon , was then fourpence ; butter , at half its present price . ; meat , from three-pence halfpenny to fourpence per lb . ; and all other eatables in proportion . 1 shall now take . an extract from Mr . Pielden ' s letter , inserted in the Leeds Mercury oi the 20 th January . After referring us to Fleetwood , Burns , and to Dr . Price ' s work . en Reversionary Payments , where it is shown thatin the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries , that the common labourer received for twenty days '

      labour-, * quarter of wheat , and other necessaries in proportion , he tells us , thathe believed Dr . Pricecompiled his reversionary tables for the use of Mr . Pitt , and that while writing on this subject , he made the following just and striking observation : —*' The nominal price of labour is no more than about four , or at most , five times higher than it -was in 1514 ; but the price of corn is aboiitfeven times , and offiesh-meatxmd raiment , about fifteen times higher . So far , therefore , has the price of labour been from advancing in proportion to the increase in-the pr ice of living , £ hat it . does not appear that it bears now half the proportion to those expenses that it did bear , formerly / ' The following is Mr . Fielden ' s own renecfidnnpon Dr . Priced observation . "Now .

      enquiry will satufj yon that the'labourer on the land has *; ow to wxirk forty days for a , quarter of wheat , and the hand-loom weaver more than sixty ibra like quantity ;; therefore , the wages of both require to be raised in proportion to the increased expenses of living , to place them on . as cood a footing as their barbarous ancestor * were in the sixteenth century , when the wage ? were but three-pence per week . " If , then , the agricultural labourer only jot a just remuneration in 1514 ,. the agricultural abotirer of 1838 is clearly robbed of half his wages . Keeping , therefore , all the ^ evidence and facts that

      nave oeen- adduced in our . memories , , it will not , I should think , he considered , by . impartial judges , as too much to average the reduction of the vrasesof every adult labourer J in 'Britain -at eight shillings per day . Now , _« upppsiagjtbere to be five millions of adnlt laboHreru m Great Britain , aud dropping one million on the score of well-paid ; labourers , it will leave four millioa * ef labourers who are robbed weekly of eight shilnngg per -week ; This , at the end of one year , will , amouat to the enormous sum of eightT'three millions Jtwo hundred thousand pounds , and at the end of ten years , to eight hundred and thirty . two milliolis of pounds . ' A sum more than etfoal to our national debt , J think that

      ( have now rectified the omissions of my last letter , consistently with my notions { on the subject , and proved , 1 st . That the increased and Wpated ; population of the gjeat serifs of our staple trades is the sign of any thing sooner than the Walth and prosperity of , ' ar sound body . 2 d . : Thnt cheap fabrics , and our excessive importations , have hithtirto beti efited nobody but the foreigner , our big roanufacturerers , and men : of ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ fixed , incomes and ; high salaries ; 3 rd . As to the astonishing additions made to our fixed capital during the last forty or fifty years , I think that 1 have proved that they smell . 30 . rank ofthesweat and sinews of the -people , as . to produce in minds humane , the most shuddering

      sensations ; which will force them to -ejaculate , poh . ' Whn , t d stench of unpsiid human exertious is cere J Wha ' t ' ari immense and heart-rending robbery is this ! ; The plundering of the isword is mere play , compared to the plunder effected by the agency of machinery ! It would be -well , perhaps , for the lovers of Mammon , seriously to ask themselves the . following important questions . Can the deteriorating system practised against tlie labourers go on nnresisied ? Will no account be required from us , either by the physicajpower of the multitude or a higher tribunal , for the ill-gotten capital wruug- 'froin theirearnings ? Can we break the law of moral justice ^ relati ve to our nobrerbrethren with impunity ? Or is the

      multitude placed without tlie pale of the moral law , and reduced to a levcl ^ with the brote creation ? ¦ Will the forest of bnyqnets by * which we have surrounded our ' selyes fonn , a sufficient mound ; to stay the ebullitions of popular fury , and for ever -beat hack ' -the waves of popular discontent ?
