ABSTRACT
The Trustees of the Cotton Famine Fund kept the money hoarded up rather than relieve distress, poverty and hunger. This proves a want of sympathy, indifference, and neglect of duty to the poor on the part of those rich and wealthy men of Lancashire entrusted with this fund for which no thanks are due to them from the neglected victims. But what must be thought of those same trustees applying this money and spending it on the professors to propagate the interests of the rich, who have been the greatest curse to the poor unemployed of this country that ever afflicted the poor. To take this cotton Famine Fund, which was got for the poor, and to rob the poor of it to give it to these privileged, favoured, professors, is not honest to the poor nor to those from whom the money was obtained.
