Thomas Attwood against Poor Law aims and rents pressure
The Birmingham editor is urged to publish the full speech given at a September dinner. Attwood argues the Poor Law Amendment Bill seeks to depress English labor wages to Irish levels to support Peel’s 1819 plan, enabling landlords to uphold rents in gold. He calls for ministers to deny Cobbet’s assertion and asserts wage reduction, rent sacrifice, or Peel’s Bill abandonment as the three horned choices.
