In coffee there wax also an -- toorrnons - increase of C o nsumption; pod hi late yean'the consumption of wine was greatly increased, wine having become the beverage of a class which formerly indulged in malt liquors. All those circumstances co-operated in causing a reduction of the consumption of malt liquors. It was impossible to guard against the variation of taste with regard to any article of consumption; and though he was not quite satisfied with referring the decrease of malt liquors entirely to that alteration of taste, yet ittere were so many circumstances, all tending to prevent an increase in the consumption of malt, that he contendid it would be very unsafe to ascribe it to the high rate of duty. When the Hon-wrible Geo denials attributed the want of increase in the consump tion to the increase of regulations, he did not take into account that there was no period when the malt trade was not subject to restrictions. The restrictions in 1787 were quite enough to diminish consumption. Anoth4r objection was; that the counties did not contribute to ,the malt duty according to their size. It appeased to . him, hoisever, that the duty contributed had nothing to do with - the size of the counties. Wherever most barley was grown it Wu probable most malt would be made, an that the amount of duty paid by each county de paistee on the cultivation re barley, and varied as that was mote Or less in different counties. Toe hop duty end the cider duty had' no ref, rence Whatever, for in stance, as to the size of the counties which contributed most to thou duties. As to the tax on beer. he re. greued that it was impossible to diminish it, as the article was certainly one of general consumption. A moderate reduitirio of that. bobrever, would only bent fit the manufacturer and not the consunier.lt it were possible, for instance, to diminish the duty to the extent of a farthing on every pot of beer, it was a mistake to con ceive that the pot of beer would be sold at tour pence three farthings instead of five pence. There would be no reduction to the COMUILer in that case.shilat the G overnment would lose above 600,0001: and the consumer _ . would have the,consol;tion that he was contributing to the increased 'profit of the brewer. When reductions were talked of, therefore, it was always desirable to consider whether such reductions would' really produce benefit to the conasmer. It was said that the beer tax pressed unequally on the loiter' orderer but this was 'Not proved. And when if Was proposed to impose' a to; sat 'sawn, brewers, which would certainly hew tuided to equalise the pressure on this pant inlet; branch of taxation, .it was rejected by the House at inexpedient on various and very cogiot ilgrounds. As to the licensing system it,was rot neces sary to enter into that_part of the subject at present, as that was rather imatter of policy than of finance. This duty was (silt; A r setisfy the House that it ought not to consent to theinotionsowinder consideration, because it was spathes talcslated to eitite the opinion that. the.

It was clear theresias a etate vial diminution of the coasiunrion of .malt, and it was the duty of the House to inquire into 'the muse* of the decrease. It was extraordinary that anti @averment ktnild incunther a trade with the abst4rl cestrictions imposed on persons. engaged in the Mali trade.

In the more re mote districts of the country the 'minter was, in maa7' instances, able to evade the greater portion of the duty& on advantage which the maltster in the vicinity of lowa could not participate in, owing to the superior vigilance of the excise.

That it would be possible at present to make any such repeal or diminution he did not mean to coasted, nor did he believe that the Hon. Member who had submitted the motion to the House meant to contend so either. He believed that be had brought the subject forward merely with a view of ascertaining whether the same mown of revenue could not be derived from the same article without making the weight fdll so heavily upon a particular class of individuals? Mr. SLANGY said that his object bad cook* been to draw the serious emotion of the Home to the subject rather than pros any statism upon them, and, as he now felt coneinced that they ' would take the matter Into consideration. he should withdraw the ' minisa.—Tbs modes was accordingly withdrawn. • , • NANOSSLIDION OP MANDL Sir.
