From these successful efforts we bad not unreasonably cherished the sanguine expectation of being allowed to reap commeesttr•te advantages. — Wetted hoped that the importation of foreign wool, especially to the enormous and inespedient event to which it has been recently caroled, would have been checked and regulated by some provisions of the le &Were. But as yet this principle, plain and ne cessary as it is, has been hitherto neglected or op posed; and in consequence of a disgraceful and heed less policy, our wool, instead of bearing a reason able and steady price, is frequently so debased in value by the large importations vlailt take place, that it cannot, generally, continue to answer to the agriculturist to raise that kind of wool which has, for so many cen►uries, supplied and supported our excellent manufactures. It most be admitted indeed, that the price of wool is not in the present yesr so mock to be complained of. Bet we must not suffer the temporary improvement of she day to put out of our minds the recollection of the reduced prices of several succeeding years, and induce us to suppose, that under the present system, that improvement can be lasting and settled. 66 When the woollen manufactories of other coon tries shall have recovered from the derangement and ruinous consequences of the late war, we must ex pect a decreased demand for our manufacture, and consequently of our short wool; which, of course, will become a drug, and the price debased (as has been lately the case), unless some check is given to ►be importation of foreign wool. It is, therefore, that I urge you strenuously to pursue the only measure which remains, to secure a fair and steady market for a product of so much con sequence to the national welfare, and I shall be rejoiced to find that you persevere, zealous ly and resolutely, in your very commendable appli cation for such a duty on the import of foreign wool, as may be thought sufficient to afford a reasonable protection to our own. "lit every other instance Parliament has interposed with its duties to protect oar products. These duties need not here be specifically enumerated; hut I would ask the selfish opposer of the measure I have recommended, way, of the articles of our own growth, wool alone is to receive no encouragement from the Legislature? and why that commodity, on w hich depends one of the most valuable and essential of our manufactures, is to be left utterly unprotected from the consequences of an overwhelming impor tation ? 46 It is painful to me to observe, that the owners and occupiers of land have been unaccountably su pine and negligent on this great question, and have been hitherto effectually counteracted in their ♦yews by the eagerness and energy of the manufacturers, and of those interested and prejudiced persons who espouse their cause. But there is still no reason to despond. Daring the last Session, th e • proposition for a Committee to enquire ioto the propriety of • protecting duty on the importation of foreign wool, was lost but by the small majority of five; though the friends of that measure were far less assiduous in their exertions than they ought to have been, to ob tain an attendance in the House favourable to the application; whilst their opponents, who seemed to think it necessary to sacrifice every other interest to their unjust and ill-considered propositions, were in defatigable in their opposition. It would appear, therefore, that the common setise.and public spirit of the country are beginning to view this important subject in its proper light, and every encooragement seems t• be afforded to a renewal of the application for a duty on imported wool; or, in other words, to the prosecution of the only measure which can prevent the speedy deterioration and ruin of the growth of fine wools in the United Kingdom, and, consequently the decline of all those essential manu factures in which that kind of wool is employed. 6 4 That you may see this question in its strongest light, let me advert for a moment to the quantity of foreign wool which has been lately thrown upon our market. The Spanish breed of sheep is spreading over all Eutope i end the quantity of wool produced is so • -•• -i . --~ ;~:' -; _ z country; and, as I have already observed, the wools of every part of the world are now introduced among us. " There might be some semblance of ari, argnment in favour of the importation of the finest - wool, if we were to suppose that such could not be raised in this climate; but there is nothing like an argument in support of an unrestricted importation of such wools as can be grown of an excellent quality in this country. A protecting duty of one shilling per pound on foreign wool would not obstruct the im portation of the finest and best wools of Spain; and if it should in some degree raise the price of our ma. nufactures, it would uot affect our foreign trade, since very little, comparatively, is exported of our manufacture of the finest wool. The great effect of this duty would be to check the importation of such coarser wools, as se prejudicially to interfere with the wool of British growth ; and this effect would uot only promote an abundant supply of our own wool, but a safer anctmore steady market than it has hi therto enjoyed. 66 We should recollect in this statement the con dition of the owners and occupiers of laud. They are oppressed by Poor Rates amounting to more than all other assessments and impositions, and fall ing almost exclusively-on them, at the same time that they pay all other tastes in common with the rest of the community. To enable him to bear such bar dens every possible relief should be extended to them by the Legislature; and, instead of allowing them to be discouraged in the growth of wool by importa tions such as I have alluded to, it seems but reason ' able to desire that they should be protected in their own market, and , have secered, as far as the Legis lature can secure it, - a zessonable price for their own product. 66 Let it however be observed, as has been re. •arked in a late Report, that the growers of long wool have not the same ground for complaint with tbegrowess of other wool. Long wool has risen in 28 years, ending 1815, from 4d. to 23d. per lb. and as no wool of that kind is, .or will be imported into this country to any eztent, because very little so good as our own can be procured from the Con. tinent, the price is not debased, as is the case with the short and fine wools, by an overwheioniog portation. 66 With respect to other wools, I would repeat it again and again, we should never relax in our ef forts to obtain fur Iberia sufficient protection in our own market. " The cause is so just, that it must succeed at last, when its merits shall be better understood, and the question more fully comprehended. A single Petition, however, will not -be sufficient. There should be Petitiousfrom every district where fine short wool is grown, and by this means, certainly a protecting duty will be obtained in favour of wool, similar to that which - is extended - to every other pro duce and manufacture of the country. " We may judge what would be the effect of such a duty on wool, by the effect which has been pro duced by the policy of protection respecting the iron trade of this country. The importation of .un wrought iron into these kingdoms was very great, until Parliament laid on a duty of 31. 17s. Bd. per ton imported in British, and of 41. 121. 6d. in fo reign ships. The consequence has been, that the im portation of foreign iron is extremely reduced, and yet the manufacture is so increased, that it was lately supposed we bad surpassed the demand abroad for many articles of iron. 66 It is much to be lamented that the Legislatere did not see the importance of a duty on wool to the Re. venue, at a period when Revenue was so much want ed. On the importation which took place in the year 1814 of 15,712,5171b5. it would have pro• duced, at the rate of one shilling per pound, an ad dition to the Revenue of 785,6251. and it would have saved the country the espence of such estraordinary importations, as that which in the year above-men tioned amounted, at the low rate of 2s. 6d. per pound, to the sum of 1,964,0641. It deserves fur titer to be observed, that this addition to the Re. venue is not all the country would have gained by the imposition of the duty ; for it would have prevented the extreme debasement which took place in the price of British wool, and by securing that article an ade quate market, would have contributed to increase the supply, and thereby to advance our woollen ma. nufactures. " I am sorry to lay that our landed interest, on which the real prosperity of the country so essen tially depends, is too often borne down in the House of Commons by the clamours or efforts of men who are comparatively little concernf•d in the general we!. fere, and who seem to imagine that every thing should give way to their views of the monied and manufsc toting interests of the kingdom. Yet none hate a ao , Y .~ ~: the nufacturus of other countries. Wnereas the. :our bl tly improiing markets of the British Empire are liable to none of these causes of unsteadiness or decline, are ideals sufficient to employ a vast number of menufacturers, and to C onsume infinitely the greater part of our manufactories generally called the twee, In cooltsdistinction to the. foreign market, includes, eistlaccd to You on a former .occa sion, not only Englaniii•Scotland, and Ireland, but all our colonies in North America, the whole of the %Veit Indies, the Cape of Good Hope, Gibraktof Malta, and all other places now in our ocogration ; containing a population of nearly thirty millions, .1 elusive of toigrues and Indians. Such a market, compared wish which our export trade to foreign ea• lions is insignificant, We cannot consent to impair cle sacrifice for airy Other, ity uo means for the supply (so much exaggerated of late by certain declaimers)•of the few millions of people not very opulent, scattered over the thinly inhabited country of the American States. The woollen manufacture of Estglooti has been computed to amount to e 8,000,0001. It is not easy to form an sect:late calculation, but that sem is, I think the lowest. " The value of the British woollens *sported front Great Britain in the three last years has been as fel , . lows: — I Value miscalculated • 1015. 1416. IQI7. at she offleial rate, £7.4e16,012 re5,d43.747 rei15074• 719 of voltrition.

The feet is eon• sussed in the home market, which inefories, as before stated, Ireland, the Colonies, and other dependen. cies of Great Britain. Ido not mean, howeser, in thus adverting to the superior importance of the home market, and the claims which it possesses to alt possible encouragement on the part of the I.e. gislature, to imply an opinion that our foreign trade is to he neglected or sacrificed. It is panda pally beneficial to taking off any redondancy that may occur, and thus preventing the loss and discou. ragement of the manufacturers. If, indeed, the home and the foreign markets were to be pot in opposition to each other, and the alternative of necessarily ahan. Boning one of them presented itself, there would be no difficulty in deciding which shosid be preferred.-6 But I eon decidedly of the opinion that the due en. couragement of the home market, woeld. operate fa. voarably on the foreign ; and if, by a duty on the import of foreign wool, we mightirbe Induced so to cultivate our own wools as to render us independent, or nearly so, of foreign nations for their fleece, that we should preserve a considerable portion of our ca.. pital at hone, which is now paid to foreign countries, to the annual amount of• upwards of two millions sterling, and we should be able to supply our wool. len manufactures with the raw materiel more cora , tainly, and on better terms than they are supplied at present. and by this demand for a home prndect, in preference to a foreign, the agricultural interests of the country would be proportionably encouraged and advanced. • " The necessity of encouraging the growth of oar own wools, does not depend on these arguments alone for its confirmation and support. It is certain that if we suffer our wools to decline, our woollen manufacture must decline also in precisely the same proportion. The whole world would not be able to supply us with wool sufficient for our demand.—. Whotever capital we might possess, we could not procure from other countries more than they could spare from thefr own supply, which would be utierly inadequate to our wants, and if we could procure a sufficient supply, the price would rise with the de. mind, and the demand increase ip proportion to the decline of our own wool, till, supposing our capital could afford such an expenditure, our woollens Would advance to a price which would necessarily include them from the foreign market. It is therefore of great moment to the prosperity of our own woollen manufactures to encourage the growth of our wools It home. By sech means only we can render our.' selves independent of other countries, for an article of the utmost importance to our trade, and if we should once become dependant on them they will know bow to regulate their prices by our wants, and thus impose on our great manufacture a borden under which it must infallibly decline, and mutually perish.
