  robert lowe   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
Lowe soon made his mark in the political world by his clever speeches, particularly on finance and education; and besides obtaining a large legal practice, he was one of the principal writers for the Atlas newspaper.
Lowe, a Liberal of the school of Canning and Peel, had already made known his objections to the advance of "democracy"--notably in his speech in 1865 on Sir E Baines's Borough Franchise Bill--and he was not invited to join the new ministry.
Lowe was a rather cut-and-dry economist, who prided himself that during his four years of office he took twelve millions off taxation; but later opinion has hardly accepted his removal of the shilling registration duty on corn (1869) as good statesmanship, and his failures are remembered rather than his successes.

Robert Lowe, 1st Viscount Sherbrooke (December 4, 1811 July 27, 1892), British statesman, was born at Bingham, Nottinghamshire, where his father was the rector.
As he said in the third reading of the Bill, Lowe thought any step towards democracy was bad because it engendered "a right existing in the individual as opposed to general expediency… numbers as against wealth and intellect" (pg 1540 Hansard 15/7/1867).
As it was the case that participation in Parliament was also only possibly through possession of property, Lowe was fearful that a change in one part of the world he understood would lead to another, ending in unforseeable chaos.
