" I had read to me from the New Age that you invite those who have passed through the old days of Protection to write to you on i84 THE HUNGRY FORTIES the 'Sybject. I am well qualified to do so, being over 92 years of age, and I have a keen memory of passing events from child- hood to the present time. I recollect events that transpired when very young, including the tolling of the church bell at the death of Princess Charlotte in 18 17, before the late Queen's parents were married.
" The prese...nt generation can have no con- ception of the state and condition of the labouring people when Protection was ram- pant. Every article that could be named for the use of man being taxed, their food, their clothing, their furniture, their mode of travelling, and many other habits and customs were totally different to those of the present time. The wages of agricultural labourers were from is. to is. 6d. per day, of trades from 2s. to 2s. 6d. per day. Their food consisted principally of barley bread ; and, in Cornwall, of potatoes and pilchards, and they had barely sufficient of these.
