INAUGURAL ADDRESS AS PRESIDEKT OF TIIE MANCHEETER STATISTICAL SOCIETY OX THE WORK OF THE SOCIETY IN CONNECTION WITH THE QUESTIONS OF THE DAY.* I. Stagnation of Trade. XI. Commercial Fluctuations. ITT. Pauperism, and the Means of decreasing it. IV. Medical and other Charities. IT has been suggested to me that I might suitably open the discussions of the present session of our society with some general remarks upon the subjects which might profitably come under our notice. One main object of a statistical society is simply to collect and publish informat,ion concerning ths condition of the State or the people, and our transactions show that this object has not been neglected; but experience proves that our meetings afford an excellent opportunity for the discussion, in a perfectly unbisssed spirit, of questions of great nnd immediate public interest. With no foregone conclusions t.0 support, and nothing to restrict the limits of fair and calm discussion, we meet here mutually ignorant, it may be, of the religions sect or public party to which one member or another may belong. From the author of the paper for &ad November loth, 1869.
the evening we receive statistical €acts combined in a sphrnatio or scientific form; and here, if anywhere, the truth is allowed to prevail from its own inherent strength. For the last thirtysix gears the society has pursued an unobtrusive-probably too unobtrusive-a career; but a little inquiry would show that ita career has been of great utility. On many subjects it has elicited opinions both new and true; it has either originated or given an impetus to the public discussion of various questions now bearing or likely to bear benefit to the State. And it has not altogether been unworthy of its position in e city and county which have heretofore been considered fertile iu great and novel principles. I. We meet at a time when considorable shgnatiuu of trade undoubtedly exists, and there are not wanting persons who endeavour to spread abroad tho notion that freo trade is a failure. IYe are told that tllc results of our present co&- ntercial poIicy must be inquired into, and that D system of reciprocitr treaties must probably bo substituted for a perfect free trade. Living though we still do in the metropolis and‘ stronghold of freo trade, wo cannot be wholly indifferent to the existence of such notions, and it is worth while to consider what wo ought to do. In upholding a spirit of perfect impartiality we cannot refuse to entertain tho question if it Le brought before us by any member mho might happen to share those notions, and wish to support them by well arrayed facts. And if ct a Manchester Manufacturer,” or other anonymons agitator of this subject, trusts his own figures, and care8 to submit them to a searching discussion, we would find an impartial body of critics here. But this is surely the most we need do. The burden of proof is upon those who agitate the question, and were we in this society, or were the country in Parliament, to start an inquiry into the subject, it would be yielding infinitely more weight to the facts hitherto adduced than belongs to them. Freedom of trade may be regadd as a fundamental axiom of political economy ; and though even axioms may be mistaken, and ditrerent viewa
