Iron Masters Deputation Seeks Trade Relief from Peel
South Staffordshire iron masters pressed Sir Robert Peel for measures to revive internal trade and curb poverty amid plunging demand and falling prices. Lords Hatherton Lyttelton and MPs joined the delegation, warning of reduced wages and rising pauper rates as tariffs abroad and corn laws loom large. Peel cautioned iron output driven by railways and other needs offers little immediate relief, while deputies blamed money laws for price instability and worker hardship.
