Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Selected Speeches on Public Questions John bright was born at Rochdale in 1811, and he died there in 1889. He came of an Old Quaker family, was educated at Quaker schools, and remained to the end of his days a loyal member of the Society of Friends. His father was a cotton manufacturer, and John Bright was himself trained to business at the mills, in which he was all his life a partner. When he was a Privy Councillor, the Older bands, who had known him from a boy, still regarded him as one of themselves. When Bright was a young man the whole country was convulsed by the great Reform agitation, and from that time forward he took a keen interest in public affairs. His earliest speeches were in support Of temperance, and he soon won repute in the contest against the local church-rate. It is recorded that in 1840 his eloquence carried an amendment at a public meeting called for the purpose of levying such a rate. About the same time his sympathy was aroused by the sufferings of the masses of his fellow-countrymen from the stagnation of trade and the high price of food, caused by the incidence of Protection. He spent a large part of his time between 1840 and'1846 in agita ting, in co-operation with Richard Cobden, for the abolition of the Corn Laws. In 1843 he was elected mp. For Durham, and in 1847 for Manchester. He was a convinced individualist in all things, and held throughout his life that it is unwise, and in many cases oppressive, to restrict the working hours Of adults by Act of Parliament, though he was in favour of the legislative protection of children.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Speeches: On Questions of Public Policy At the commencement of Mr. Bright's public life, the shortsighted selfishness of a landlords' parliament was afflicting the United Kingdom with a continuous dearth. Labour was starved, and capital was made unproductive by the Corn-laws. The country was tied to a system by which Great Britain and her Colonies deliberately chose the clearest market for their purchases. In the same spirit, the price of freights was wilfully heightened by the Navigation-laws. Important branches of home industry were crippled by prying, vexatious, and wasteful excises. And this system was conceived to be the highest wisdom or at any rate, to be so invincible a necessity that it could not be avoided or altered without danger. The country, if it were to make its way, could make it only because other nations were servile imitators of our commercial policy, and, in the vain hope of retaliation, were hindering their own progress.

P, Vol. 1 of 2 He saw, for example, that no ultimate benefit would ensue to the: mass of the people by the abolition of all taxes on food, unless what he called by a pardonable metaphor, Free Trade in Land, were also By this he meant the removal of that artificial scarcity of marketable land, which is directly traceable to certain usurpations in the real or presumed interest of the aristocracy, by which the devolution of land is-regulated according to the custom of primogeniture, and by which estates are restrained from alienation under the covenants of a strict settlement. Thus, in the last year of his life, and in the last Speech which he made, he regretted his age and failing physical energies, since he was now debarred from entering on an agitation for the abolition of. Those customs and privileges which make land the monopoly of the rich, and condemn the English peasantry to hopeless labour.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from American Problems: A Selection of Speeches and Prophecies The Idaho senator's powerful personality and delivery the written word is robbed of much power. The speeches are, for some tastes, too much in the vein of old-fashioned oratory therefore is the substance often overlooked. Because they are for the most part buried in the Congressional Record and because there is in them much of permanent value, their presentation in book form is undertaken as a worthwhile record of political sentiment This is done with the senator's approval.

The addresses delivered at Fort Wayne, Ind., in 1861 and 1865 can hardly fail, at any time, to be inter esting, as they present the prevailing sentiment of the people of the Northern States at the commencement and the close of the civil war. The letters, which were written in London for the New York T rz'bnne, were copied by a great many newspapers, and very widely circulated and favorably commented upon in all parts of the country. They were written and the Cambridge lectures were delivered when financial and economic questions were engaging public attention - questions that have lost none of their interest - the definite solution of which seems to be far in the future.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Addresses and Speeches: On Various Occasions Some circumstances, connected with the progress and close of my late Congressional career, have induced me to comply, not altogether unwillingly, with the suggestion of friends, - that whatever I have said on public questions, should be placed within the convenient reach and reference of such as may care to know any thing about my course. I have ventured to think, too, that this volume would not be entirely unacceptable to the people of Massachusetts, and particularly to the people of Boston, to whom I have been indebted for whatever Opportunities I have enjoyed, and in whose service most of these Addresses and Speeches were made. They are given here just as they were delivered, and many of them printed, at the time, - with no other change than the correction of a few inaccuracies in matter of form, or, it may be, in matter of fact. They thus contain, - not what I might have said, or might now say, - but what I actually did say, on the subjects to which they relate, during sixteen or seventeen years of public employment.
