| | Richard Cobden (1804-1865) |
 | | Richard Cobden, statesman, was born on 3 June 1804, in an old farmhouse in the hamlet of Heyshott, near Midhurst, on the western border of Sussex. | | | Cobden was as eminent for the amiability of his private character as for his public virtue. | | | When Cobden stepped from the steamer, a letter was placed in his hands from the new prime minister, offering him the post of president of the board of trade with a seat in the cabinet. |

| | Richard Cobden |
| | Cobden received very little formal schooling and at the age of fourteen became a clerk in the textile industry. | | | By the 1859 General Election the public had forgiven Cobden for his anti-war stance and he was elected to represent Rochdale. | | | Although Cobden continued to tour the country making speeches against the Corn Laws, he was now in a position to constantly remind the British government that reform was needed. |

| | Cobden, The Political Writings of Richard Cobden, Front Matter: Library of Economics and Liberty |
| | Cobden belonged to the school of political thinkers who believe in the perfect harmony of moral and economical laws, and that in proportion as these are recognised, understood, and obeyed by nations, will be their advance in all that constitutes civilisation. | | | Ashworth (Aril 10, 1862) Cobden urged that all private property should in time of war be exempt from capture at sea, that neutral ships ought to be exempt from search or visitation, and that the commercial ports of an enemy ought to be exempt from blockade. | | | Cobden advocated these changes in international law, after his wont, because they would be of special advantage to this country. |

| | If commerce was for Cobden the best way to peace, he also continued to urge arbitration treaties and the reform of international, especially maritime law, a pressing issue with the onset of the American Civil War in which Cobden was anxious to prevent British intervention. | | | At his death, Cobden was widely recognised by continental Liberals as the model of a 'European' statesman and as 'The International Man' while in Britain he epitomised the ideas of the 'Manchester School'. | | | Above all, in 1838 he became 'Alderman Cobden' of Manchester, having played a leading part in the movement for the incorporation of Britain's leading industrial town, hitherto governed by the court leet of Sir Oswald Mosley. |

| | Richard Cobden - reformer |
| | By 1839 Cobden had formed a new, national Anti-Corn Law League and the campaign that followed was, as Prime Minister Sir Robert Peel acknowledged, influential in the eventual repeal of the laws in 1846. | | | Two years later he had been forgiven and was elected MP for Rochdale but he refused a post in Palmerston's government on principle. | | | Cobden had been elected Stockport's MP in 1841 and had carried on the campaign in Parliament. |

| | Friedrich Engels, the Pankhursts, Policians and Social Reformers of Manchester |
| | Two major figures emerged as leaders of the Anti-Corn Law movement, Richard Cobden, a Bolton calico manufacturer, and John Bright, a Rochdale mill -owner and a Quaker. | | | Cobden and Bright, both persuasive orators with powerful local backing, (including Archibald Prentice, radical editor of the Manchester Times newspaper), succeeded in getting elected to parliament, (Cobden - MP for Stockport in 1841) where they constantly lobbied and harassed the Prime Minister, Sir Robert Peel (born in Bury). | | | Peel, under severe pressure from the League and its growing band of ever more powerful supporters, repealed the Corn Laws in 1846, thereby splitting the Tory party, and effectively ending his own political career in the process. |

| | Richard Cobden: Activist for Peace - Mises Institute |
| | Richard Cobden knew that at the center of free trade was freedom; freedom that required sharply limiting government, and which produced justice by preventing government sponsored theft by one group from others. | | | On June 3, 1804, Richard Cobden was born. | | | Nicknamed the "Apostle of Free Trade," he spearheaded the campaign against the protectionist English Corn Laws, leading to their repeal in 1846, which then spread to the liberalization of trade throughout much of Europe. |

| | Cobden and his Quaker friend John Bright founded the Anti-Corn-Law... | | | Of course, the timing of the Irish potato famine helped make the political case for the stupidity and inequity of such a law. | | | Cobden and Bright were appalled by this state of affairs, which they saw first-hand as men of the North, where workers in the growing industrial cities were trying to feed their families. |

| | Shortly afterwards, a public subscription was raised, and the handsome sum of £75,000 was contributed, as a testimonial of his countrymen to the unwearied exertions of Cobden. | | | It was not until the year 1837, when he successfully contested the borough of Stockport, that he became publicly known. | | | In 1838 the anti-corn-law agitation commenced, and in the cause of free trade, Cobden took the foremost rank until the accomplishment of its principles in 1846. |
