He felt that it was necessary to conciliate Mi nisters to the line of conduct which he would urge, th tt he Might not appear to have committed a departure from prociples of which he was still a supporter. At the period of the peace Ministers had seen our trade ex posed to the competition of foreign nations, and still it was held that it had so grown up mid thriven that it was in .a state to defy any canspaltioa what.. soviet, and would be sure to pros*, log : foreign rivalry. Oa. the promised principles ei Mtnistsrs he Weans* a Member of the Commit* on Toole, in she hope of seeing what could be ear . to serve the interests of commerce. Now, admittlet himself on the side of Ministers, he yet thought, that is . their measures, they had not begun at the right end. Thal ought to have commenced with the state of the I ternmaey. and to have put it on such a footing, that the Winery' of this country might stand in equal circuit. staesm with those of his degree in other countrieso— Tasatiso should have been reduced for the relief of thoholostrious classes, so as to shift the bonito *Pm the wee opulent orders of the community, whe would' be Wee able to bear it. Had Ministers acted so, they rn;oht have proceeded with less difficulty to tbeopening of tkado.,Korelieving it from its restrictions, and finally to the repeal of the Corn Laws. It was true many pet sons of grille authority differed (non him is the illittine which be had advanced...they conceived it tight anti impalas* .te resort at once to original prigs. eiplott.

The re stilt of their inquiries had been laid before the Chancellor of the Exchequer,and he would now state it to the House. The Silk Trade was divided into four principal branches. The first of these was what was commonly called. the thrtroiters. whose duty it was.to prep.,re the raw silk for the use of the mantifoctutera. The second great branch was that of the dyers, whO bad a great deal to complain of in the measures that had been taken by the Right Hon. Gentlemart,(lllr. Huskisson), and he must nay, that in his opinion, the dyers bad by no means been fairly dealtwith. ib'e next st.tat'divistotts of t he silk manufacture were into Whit were commonly called the bread trade and the purity trade. He should list beg leave to call the , emotion of the Ikea to thra r ascot the throwsters. * From all that had been coat= 'tnunicatei to him upon the subject, front various qual. ters, it did not appear that the throwsteriluad any com plaints to make'.about machinery,,nor did they etpeee any imptoventent to be Made in their present machi ' They had accurate knowledge of what, machinery wail in use in the principal inanufacioties.upon the Conti nent, and they were perfectly satifild that, as far as ma chinery was concerned, they could compete with their foreign rivals without the least fear or apprehension,/ discomfiture. They also knew that their machinery was in such a state that it admitted of little or no ins- provement, and, in fact, no improvement was ex-. peeted. But this branch of the• trade had, how ever, made out a case, which entitled them to a sort of protection from the competition of foreigners.-. The duty of 75.6 d. in the pound was utterly inconsistent with a coaspetion as to other branches oldie trade. Two or three months ago, when this trade had suffered like all others—when the depression was extreme, and ' distress had arrived at its greatest possible height— when the manufacturers were throwing their workmen out of employ, from the fear of the effects which were likely to ensue from the introduction of foreign silks in the month of July; at that period the Government, without having the sanction of the Legislature, or with out any communication to Parliament, reduced the duty upon thrown silk by 2% 6d. in the pound.— One world not perhaps complain, if the whole duty had been removed, in order to a foreign competition ; but what right had Ministers to interfere srlth private property in the value of the duty ? The throwsters also alleged, that such a quantity of human labour was employed in the ermine of their business, that it was Absolutely necessary to enable them to *compete with ,thikcheaplabour of the Continent. They would other ,rise lot .aneeitably compelled to throw. great QUM.- of their opprensices upon- "he• perish for itop port. . These foots he only stand- as -they had been put to him. If true; they ought to have been offered to the consideration of the II .use by the. Chancellor of the Eachequer; if exaggerated, no one would be more happy than himself to discover that the evil did not equal the representation. Those in the broad silk wade stated grounds of inquiry wbich, if disproved by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, his case was at an end. They alleged, that from the expense of labour in dying, and the duty on thrown silk, they were under a disadvantage of from 45 to 50 per cent. in a competition with the Continent. Mr. Doxat had rated their inferiority at from 55 to 60 per cent. As to a continental competition they were not so alarmed. Their chief apprehensions were directed to the manu factures of the East Indies and China, which so small a protecting duty as $5 per cent. would never enable them to contend with. Indeed so overpowering must the latter competition be, that it would l irdist warrant ,him in recommending the exclusion of East Indian and Chinese manufactures altogether. Damask furniture silk imported from those countries could be purchased at five shillings a yard, and one shilling and sixpence duty, which could not be manufactured here for double the price. By their Act of 1824 they bad hoped to improve and encourage an export trade; but it was plainly idle to hope for a sale in their own markets, while there sere markets abroad, at which foreign silks could not find a sale. Thus one great argument was completely removed. He would ask the Chancellor of. the It echequer whether since the passing of the Act of 1824 he had heard of any exports in con sequence? For his own part, he bad heard of none, and if such were the fact, it was clear there was no find ing a way for our manufactures in India and France...a They could now judge by facts on a subject of which they before judged by the words of two Americans,• who estimated France at cheat 36 per coat. above 111 1 1-0 taro in manufactures. If the House 'granted hie al Committee he would thew that the weavers ' were ilivl fairly treated with regard to the duty which was sulferildi to rem sin on the articles employedin their Manufamewa. Of those articles there was a hag catalogue. BeriOaf was subject to a severe duty at the suggestion of fieotib proprietors, who were interested in' the prodoctieS of the article, and apprehensive of the cheapening *test of a fossigOcompetition. Soap of thiseountry was little to a duty of about 28s. foreign soap to a duty °fa W I Now a free trade ought to be in its nature, and not confined to particular artictsa,4llseaating others subject to restriction. The silk dyers bad only to complain, is ' common with the members of the other branehes,of the, dearness of articles,particularly those employed is dying, But *on the score of machiney, and of skill in execution, they. felt themselves scr far from being interim , to. foreigners, that they were able to instruct the foreign workmen who had been introduced a then. He most earnestly invited the attention Of • House to the concluding paragraph of the Niftiest. 'The Petitioners there stated, that they were not alarmed unionise compesitien, provided therthey were put on an equal footing with their competitors in the prices of articles and previsions. He now came to the case 44 . the narrow, or ribaod weavers.

To the argument which might be raised on the great extent of our capital, 'be would reply that there was more capital embarked :in the trade in Switzerland than in all England, and there were no bills there. He would call the attention of the Chancellor of the Excheiuer to the practice of 'granting patents to persons who were not the inrentots of machinery, but who, having their eyes about them, brought models from the Continent to chic country, and,by the !Authority of a patentoireven , ed others from adopting similar improvements. If such a practice woe con-i•tent with laW, it was time to lrok to the state of the law on the subject. Such was the state-of the Ina.' inufacturers; but what was the state of the operatives, -the most imporidnt class of all? Two thitds of them were out of employment; and the remaining third would stairaly be in a•timilar situation, if measures :were not speedily taken to prevent such a eaAmity. Let - the state of prices before 1797 be comp ared with. the present, and it would . be found that house rent was then aboUt 21.10 a. to the I.bouter, which was now 51. or 61. butchers' meat ss. 4d. now 7s Bd. bread Sp. now 7d.— He would a-lc the House, would they sueport the most iiicious of all systems, namely—to feed the poor.• half by their own labour, and half by the poor-rates? This was a part r f the question which intimately concerned the landed interests of the kingdom. The decision of the House id 1824 was founded on the evidence of Mr. , Hale, of two foreigners, and of some Manchester ma nufacturers. He would ask, if these same persons were now to come before them, and state at their bar that their inquiries on the subject since bad convinced them that ;the information : which they before supplied was unfottimled in fact, and 'that they bad changed . their opinions, could they in 'such a case refine the appoint ment of a Committee for the purpose of reviewing and correcting their former decision. .He was convinced the system of overtrading was owing to the nets of Go. vernmeht itself, which, as it raised wages proportion ably, led the poorer working classes into a state, not perhaps of • luxurious indulgence, but certainly of greater expense, and comparatively greater comfort, made the transition from ample employment to: scar city of employment more deeply and deplOrahly: felt by these manufacturers, who were now, by the pressure of the times, throwa-out of employment.— With all this feeling on his part, he - wished obi to be Mir enderstood as if underrating the value of a tied ptin ciple. In fact he had all along beet4avouretak to the abolition,of all monopolies. - This,- howetier, was not now attempted to be generalli-' sifted open; 'but—it 'appeared the bolt was pectillartfltellid it the ilk rivers and the silk tredii. .111:04,thelieuse ;1101141 )of de its duty towatils'thir poor sisacufacturen of Macclesfield, and other towns, who were now pledging.

WILLIAMS rose to second the motion of his lion. Friend. He said he thought it worthy the con- Cideration of Ministers whether, at such a moment of distress pervading, not a single class of individuals, but the country at large, and the manufacturing dhtriets mere especially, they wouldunsettla the latter by con tinuing to subject them to 'Stele sufferings, and obliging them to change their occupations to get a . livelihood ? The town of Macclesfield had been alluded to by. the Honourable Gentleman. In the year 1780 the whole population of that town did not exceed 4,000- In 1826 it amounted to 23,000. Out of this number 20,000 acre employed in the different branches of the silk trade.— The House would hear with regret that in the course of half a year, by the operation of these measures, there were 14,000 persons deprived of emplo)ment.— To give some idea of the distress occasioned, he would inform them of the fact that not less than 1,600 fin. mulles were supported by voluntary contributions. Their prospect was indeed dreary s all they had at present to look forward to was the exhaustion of their funds and the absence of . all work. Ile had been informed by the Mayor that the Poor Laws, toe, had beets put in full force. That Gentleman bad signed eleven orders of removal, and had passed many to their parishes. The subscription being ex hausted, aU. that remained for them were the - Poor Laws sad the encumbered land. If they referred to Man chester. they would find that, in the spring of 1825, ten thousand six hundred and eighty-eight looms were e . ployed, Now, in January there were only 4,1001 it w • , therefore be seen that there were about 11,1100 played. If they referred to London it would birmeit imigui j that in Benhoellreeo alone there were 1.000 sustain," • y palish. reliefs they being incompetent to themselves.. The argument which he established eft* these statements was-i.toot that .Ministers should fl persevere—ho did not say *so.. Though the greeter part of the population' war drives to despair—though some of the largest staoufasturing towns in the country should stiffer..-it the measures were calculated to dO f . nturit goad, let 'them pronged; but let the Ministers pose tbie l .,aod, if they could . not, he called on, I thi' so page, to -hesitate, though it might be in op. position to - she theoretical opinions . which bail Wen' formed, berose the evils now in existence took a flaoree,aorinue men, and instead of mere distress, be came absolute aria.

On the subject of deaiind he would calf the attention of the House to two . The persons who had stock on hand wettest islee housethen and mercers. Now, at ill:: season of the xear there 'was generally the gleateA demand ; but, naw both the mercers and watehousemen were gi eatlylelow What then should be the general result? Upon the principle of the Hon. Gentleman, there now be a demand on the manufacturer, but there was no such thing. Tt.is was one view of the case. The other was, that they were looking forward to a supply from the foreign market in the month of July. It was this that .destroyed any demand upon the home manufacturer. L The price of labour *must of course be a gteat dial dependent on the price of provisions. What chance was there then of a fair competition whe? at Lyeins bread was only three sous per pounck while in England it was two-pence halfpenny, just double? That woutd render the price of labour two to one in favour of the Preach manufacture. If Ministers thought of applying any corredlve in the way of high duty, they would only increase the mewling taste without benefiting the manufacturer. What he (Mr. Williams) complained of was, that there was no reciprocity ; all the *beralify was on the part of this country. Long would it be, if eier,lefore this country' could be called on a footing with ether natioui. They must call " Ye Gods annihilate both space and time, " and have their prayer complied with, before they c ould arrive, at that state. In the meantime he did not want the pevle to be sacrificed to ;he best rinciplee of polidcal economy.

If the motion of his Honourable Friend wa t s adopted, It would only defer the Right Honourable Gentleman's measure; It would not put aside his principle. He merely wished the Mese to hoar facts which had transpired since the resolution of the tight Honourable the Chancellor of the Eschesper. The Honourable , Member concluded by saying, that the Ministry would be tea 'erosible to in extent of which they were not aware; but . be was oinfident that If them was community of feeling between As Seen and those out of doors, the resat motion would not be oppood.--(flear, bur) The question having been put, . Mr. HUSKISSON.—Sir, The Honourable Member for Coventry, in the arguments he has just advateed, may naturally- be 'opposed to be influenced by his ceh nection with that city ; and I felt ready to meet that circumstance. in the annsideratian of his speech, in order not to retract from the weight of what he has said in support of his motion.
