Cobden having indorsed the broad platform just laid down by Mr. Gibson, reminded the House that it was not the League that was on trial but the law. He said, "You cannot put down the League by calling names, nor by such childish displays as have been seen to-night. It was said that the agriculturists could not meet taxation without Protection, but if the manufacturers were therefore to pay the taxes of the landlords who were to pay the taxes of the manufacturers, and how were you to requite tho...se classes who are neither landlords nor farmers or manufacturers?" ** I am for Free Trade in everything, " said Mr. Cob- den, u andif the Protection on corn is destroyed, the Protection on everything else will break down with it. " Then pointing straight at the seats where sat the ministers, he said, " The Treasury bench has evaded the question ; Lord Stanley has never met it, and I now challenge him to satisfy the Lan- cashire manufacturers of the justice of Protection. " As Lord Stanley's father owned a large part of Lancashire, and derived enormous revenues from his possessions there, this challenge was one of those ad hominem thrusts in which Cobden was more skillful than any other man in Parliament.
