Among the absolute
necessities of the age which custom has elevated to an imperative want, is Its
Representative Press.
Every sect, society, or class, possessing the remotest
claim to notice, has its organ to chronicle its progress and develop its views.
The Fourth
Estate is by common consent the acknowledged exponent of the Englishman's
thoughts, the anticipator of his wishes, and the safeguard of his liberties.
In this
belief, and with the full conviction that the time has at length arrived, when
the position of the labourer is such as to need and demand an able and vigorous
advocacy by means of the Press, a number, of working men have been induced to cooperate
for the purpose of publishing a weekly newspaper, to be entitled, "THE
OPERATIVE" the object of which will be, to elevate the thoughts, advance
the interest, and conserve the privileges of the working classes.
It will be
conducted by Gentlemen whose experience or position will eminently qualify them
for the task, and will aim at being the truthful exponent of the labourer's
wrongs, and the un-compromising assertor of his rights.
Its columns
will be open to the free discussion of all disputed questions, and to the
canvassing of practical suggestions on Social Reform; the Conductors believing
that such a feature will greatly assist in bringing about a better
understanding between parties heretofore adverse, and with it a fraternity of
feeling, uniting all in a common cause; a desideratum that would give to the principle
of progress n healthier existence than it has ever yet enjoyed.
From week to
week its columns will contain a faithful and well-digested record of events as
they arise in tho Mercantile and Commercial world; with Independent and
original criticisms on everything industrial at home and abroad.
Its tone will
be bold and fearless on all questions-rendering "justice to whom justice
is due," and unflinchingly exposing tho delinquencies and short-comings of
the Age.
Every
exertion will be used on the part of the Conductors to render the Journal
worthy of the cause of which it will seek to be the Organ and Champion, resting
assured that the Public will appreciate and support their efforts, if sincerely
and rightly directed..
All communications
