Speech of Mr. Alderman Cobden, At the Town Council, On Proposing a Resolution to Petition Both Houses of Parliament for the Total and Immediate Repeal of the Corn Law. (From the Manchester Times of Saturday, April 3, 1841). Manchester: Prentice and Cathrall, Printers, Times Office, Ducie Place, [1841]. 17-1/2" x 11" (44.4 x 28 cm) broadside, text in three columns below headline. Moderate toning, moderate edgewear, corner folds, horizontal and vertical fold lines, a few minor tears along folds, minor worming to lower half of left margin. Rare. $1,250. * This unrecorded broadside documents a pivotal moment in the British free-trade movement, capturing the celebrated reformer Richard Cobden addressing the Manchester Town Council in early 1841. Cobden, a prosperous Manchester calico printer turned political activist, was a co-founder of the Anti-Corn Law League (est. 1839). Here, speaking as a municipal Alderman, Cobden moves a resolution petitioning both Houses of Parliament for the immediate and total repeal of the repressive Corn Laws. First enacted by Parliament in 1815 to protect domestic agricultural yields following the Napoleonic Wars, the Corn Laws levied heavy import tariffs on foreign grain. By artificially driving up the price of bread-a basic necessity-the laws disproportionately burdened the working poor and urban laborers while enriching wealthy, landowning aristocrats. Cobden's speech forcefully argues against trade protectionism, framing the tariffs not merely as bad economic policy, but as an immoral tax on the destitute that stifled British industrial manufacturing and international diplomacy. Just four months after delivering this speech, Cobden was elected to the House of Commons as the Member of Parliament for Stockport. From inside Parliament, he alongside John Bright relentlessly lobbied Prime Minister Sir Robert Peel, ultimately succeeding in forcing the total repeal of the Corn Laws in 1846-a landmark victory that inaugurated a new era of British free trade. Printed at the Manchester Times office by Archibald Prentice and William Cathrall. Prentice was a radical journalist, co-founder of the Anti-Corn Law League, and author of its early history.
