ARCH, JOSEPH (1826 )

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: APO-ARN
ARCH, JOSEPH (1826 ) , English politician, founder of the National Agricultural Labourers'
Union
 , was born at Barford,a
village
  in Warwickshire, on the roth of November 1826. His parents belonged to the labouring class. He inherited a strong sentiment of independence from his
mother
 ; and his objections to the social homage expected by those whom the catechism boldly styled his " betters " made him an " agitator." Having educated himself by unremitting exertions, and acquired fluency of speech as a Methodist local preacher, he founded in 1872 the National Agricultural Labourers'
Union
 , of which he was president. A rise then came in the wages of agricultural labourers, but this had the unforeseen effect of destroying the union; for the labourers, deeming their object gained, ceased to agitate." Mr Arch nevertheless retained sufficient popularity to be re-turned to
parliament
  for north-west Norfolk in 1885; and although defeated next year owing to his advocacy of Irish
Home
 
Rule
 , he regained his seat in 1892, and held it in 1895, retiring in 1900. He was deservedly respected in the
House
  of Commons; seldom has an agitator been so little of a demagogue.
A
biography
  written by himself or under his direction, and edited by Lady
Warwick
  (1898), tells the story of his career.
