The ',Writ Maurice of taxation epos the state of the eoleatry, Is a subject. too exterssve to be mitered .pou by year Committee, without exceeding the hounds prescribed to them by the nature of the rekreoce made to them by the Hesse. They limpid its weight, because, however imposed, taxis mist neeemasily abridge the reneurces and comforts of those by whom they are ultimately paid. Bet the gees. tion for more Immediate eonsideration is, whether, i• are -... distribution of this unavoidable eid, the profits of farming capital have bees heretofore, or esti perneatiestly be more affected, than the profits of capital emoted i• other branches of indusay. They cannot discover may grenade fur believing that; during the oar, when taxatiou was carried to its. greatest amount, the profit of firming capital was lowered a its relative proportion to the profit of other active capitals; sad whatever may be the temporary effect all casual derangement, it is obvious that this properties mast permanently be stialutaired, because the application of capi tal would otherwile be changed • from use mode of em ployment to atiotber, until the proper level was restored. So far then fore as axes fall nous. the pewits of the active eapttals of the esoutry, whatever may be the objects upon which they immediately atia, ii, or the parties by whom they are, is she first inatnitie, paid, they operate, in their ultimate effect, as an abatement of those profits, equally affecting the aniline, the nuronfactoline, and the fanning interests, by diasinishing their means either ..f eojoyment, or of accu mulating further capital by savings Cum their annual ha- CUM'S. The essence and extent in which other classes of the sem inussity, sad other awirees of income may be affected by taxation, do not emir directly within the scope of the prated inquiry; het your Coseineiltee dank it weressary to notice a doctrine which haspeevasled in wene quorters--thet the prier of corn in this ematry, in order to remunerate the grower, must 'armee in the .axe ratio as the amount of oar pub. lie revenuer, an that if die lai ter he doubled, the price of corn meet be double,' also. If this assumption were well found. rd, It world follow, that, exclusively of auy clump is she value of money, the remunerating price in lett, eaglet be nearly owe-third lower than it was in 1814, teas sot much shorted that prop/watt to the •hole of our revenue howler beets taken off is Great Britain same that year. hat without draytag that the price of cora may be in imam degtee affected by adding to our peersl taxation, and that say charges particularly paid by the farmer, such as Mies and poor tales, most tend swore directly to raise Had price, it is obvious, from what has beaus already slated, that the met of grain corn in soy country is regulated by the animal 'respite! seceseary to ranee it upon lauds payiag no rent, nod that it is the price of the portion of corn which is 90 raised that determines the price of all other corn ; and that aa Wenner of general taxes, affecting alike the profits of capital is all the different breaches of industry, would not Necessarily raise the pries of the paitieelar produce of toy one. The peke of roar, therefore, might fall in a country, notwillisteediag additional taxation, if the quCatify regain ed for the option of that country could be raised, either by the cultivatioe of more fertile and productive soils, or by the application of • diminished capital to the same soil, in cosseepiesee of lammed skill or improvements in husbandry. In fact, so rise in the price of core appears to have takes place during three of the wars in which this (sentry was ea gaged during the last century, compared with the prices of the years preceding and succeeding them wars; and during the last of them, the American war, prices were lower than during the peace. This eireanisiance is the more to he re marked, as there never was perhaps a period at which the burden of amities appeared to mess more heavily upon the reeenrees of the conistry, awl in which au aauaal increase of takes, acompaeied with an annual diminution of revenue, and • general stagnation of im,roventeuts,iedicated more strongly that a part adage taxes mast have been paid out of the capital, and not out of the income of the nation. On the other baud, however immense the expenditure of the last war, it is impossible to review the vast private un dertakings, began mid completed during that war, in every branch of industry, without feeling that those foods by which alone the productive powers of the country eau be put is motion, must have been greatly increased, and that the accumulation of national capital, however impaired by loans, or retarded by taxes, has, upon the whole, been large and ' , regressive during that period. If in the same space of time the national capital of some other country has out increased, ur has increased wily is a muck smaller proportion, the me.e consperisou of the no minal amount of the public rcienue of that country with the Public rtvenue of this couutry, as they stood at the com mencement of the period, and as they now stand, might lead to en unfair inferruce in respect to the degree in which etch couetyy WWI been 'Meted by increased meatiest. At the weigh , 01 the public butdens of a counts )• be coasidered in rekrence to its population wily, then (with the exception of Holland perhaps) Eastland is the most taxed purlieu of En. rupe; but if it be measured by the aggregate of National capital, or iecome arising from capital, divided by the total number of people emoue whom that capital or iucouse is distributed, it may then he doubted whether, upo• such au average, the proportion of tax to the income or capital of . each individual, be nut less iu England than le several Sintea of the Couriasent, 'or even in Ireland; and Whether it be inateriall the ygre population,aternin wt both at former periods, when boi the capital, end the public revenue of Eng land, were far !ohm whit they now are. Bet whatever might be the consolatory result of such • comparison, if the meassa of making it could br accurately ascertained, and however mugueue • hope your Committee may entertain that peace will afford increased facility and eacouraceinent to further accumulation, it is nor less the duty of Gueersa anent di,eetly to aid that arcumel ition, by diminishing our seintzsdPsnerils.riii:atrrnhd'e sosuak:iliir.fiiii.ltbheilthe•crapsporiir:oPfretwheostehecleaosssserso,rlblyavindhotiao of the whole kingdom is istiguesented. This duty, important at all time., appears to your Comma i tee to be still more an, under thee present cli mem . minces of the country ; (or. whilst thay are desirous of cur reeling the misakeu opinion, that the depressio• under which our agriculture so w l a b ours , is either exclusively or I "deasgroisermilloifirr'smunilhl!:oltheocboembeimeemiral.yiles:res,ibharitnlistvareetlooesilhymueirin,wna:el.liglaiiimo:tu'upoiriflotht:Drheryeenteapiu.annuielnloaii,etsgbd:uteirs-e -1, money incenses derived from trading, forming, sad ma , nufacturieg capital and industry, are diminished.

Your Committee cannot article& the observation' 'which they pare round it their duty to aohmit to the House.

Within this principle, the Petitioners appear to he &homi ly to se open trifle; hut is the application of it, as en pounded in some of the Petitions, and illustrated in the rip snolastion of some of the whinnies, your Comositiveltannot bat apprehend that the duties which they custemplate, would be altogether prohibitory. It cannot be necessary to voter hid, any statements to show, that, practicslly, this would bilk, result, in all but seasons of scarcity, of a Axed despot 40.. a ',wirier upon "'brat- Year Committee will nievelyrepeat what they bare already slated, that w h en t h e t ra d e i n etwil With the Continent wan open, subject to the scale of duties imposed by the Acts of 1773, 1791, and 1144, sad in force till 1913, there never was an.insporiatiuti of forties corn to any aintinut during the Abort intervals when the high duties were demandable ; and yet those duties at no part of the time it:corded 245. 3d. per-quarter. To this fact they will only add, that what is proposed, in addition to the 'annul of the duty, namely . that it should be per m a nen t. " what ev e r may b e the Prlcl'e is • proposition which your Committee sritpeoofideoll the Le gislator, could never eutrrtaia, nor mar considerable par limo of the community ever conoteinnee. The segeeations with respect 140 duties ' , mildly prohibitory on .very other article tiw produethns ofthe moil of this coun try, all come *odor the same prsuciple and are open to the some objection. The principl e wou ld, fis fact, go for to an nihilate commercial intercourse altogether; and is moreover founded, as it appears to your C4norsittee, upon a mistakt• statement, as well as as erroneous view of what is deemed protection to our manufactures. In the first place, they feel the more warranted in affirm log, that the argument of the Petitioners ryas in part upon • iniscooception of facts; as they observe, that one of the witnesses, in order to illustrate his ideas sod the wishes of the Petitioners, has furnished a table of the duties payable on foreign manufactured articles, of which I are sub ject to direct heavy duties of excise in this country ; mud spots with the importation duty, as fur instance upon the article edgings, is impose-I in a great the duty upon that article manufactured in this kingdom. Bat the main grounds upon which your Committee are disposed to think dial the House will look with some mis trust to the soundness of this principle, I.—first, !hat it may be well doubted whether (wish the exceptitrtt of silk) soy of our eonsiderahle manufactures derive benefit from this *roomiest protection in Hie markets of this rooutry; fur how could the foreign manufect urea of cotton, of woollen*, of hardware, corn. pets: with one own in this country, when it is notorious that we cos afford to nndersell them is, the products of those great beau/Mrs of elir Inomfatturing indurtry, even in their own inns keta. not wit hstnsulisig I hat cotton earl stool are subject to a direct duty um imporbstion, not drawn back upon their (*sport in a manufactured stair, as well as to all the iudirect tax - ohm, which affects capital in these branches, in common with that capital which is employed in rands.; the produe- Ihn ", of " ft i".!' Secondly, That there exiats this most east n isei slinrrence between the ef f ect of prniection given to the mannfactorer (even it be did not enjoy from natty at causes a prat. mace in Ilse home 11131 ket), and the attempt at • similar prutert ~,,, and isionopoly to tile produce of the soil—that in all employment of capital, either in trade or manufacture., profits are limited fry competition. If, for any lymph of Sinn or from any eneunistancest, profits are iticreneed, in any particular branch, ahoy, the accustomed average. whit tiuunl capital seeks employment is, that branch, end profits are again speedily reducer, to their former level. This would equally be the case if the demand for that particular article were doulikds and it may further frequently happen, as we have wituessed of late years (in all goods, for bestow', %fuel/hi of iron and esillise) e that, nwiew to discoveries iM mechanical soil chemical science, and improvements in the tworeforture, an 'museum, increase of consumption nt.y he oteminitaot with, and probably, in a great degree, the result at, a great fall in price. The same principle, it is tree, amities to the capital and bussineoi of she fainter; but w i th this important disilitte- Stole, that She price sit coin, takers fur any series of rear*. is ✓eerassrily regeolated by the expense of petelsortion upon the lairds Oich, at that price, make no return beyond the charge of raising it, together With she ordinary profit of the capital employed upon those lands. The cultivator of such lands, for the time, is upon a footi..g with the merchant and the manufacturer; but if the demand for corn were doubled it would force into eullivatiuss poorer Voids, requiring a larger capital to raise the same qoantity Mf prodnee ; the price of that produce would determine the price of the whole, of those* poorer lands could not be maintained iii cultivation; for there cannot permanently be two rates of profit in the same occupation It is sufficient for your Committee to !meat this ground of difference, and to leave it to the josh., 'newt of the House, in connection with the übservatissits which they have already submitted in a former part of this Report. Another wish expresoed by some of the l'elitioners, arid mime of the • lineages, is for the repeal of Vint clause is, the last Act, which allows the warehousing is the United King dom of fureigq corgi, when it catmint be taken out fur home collsudeptiols. The grounds upon which this alteration of the law is sue. gelded, for the relief of the British grower, are tivmfoirl. Ist. That the foreign (vim absorbs the capitals of the dealers which would otherwise be employed is epeculating ia curs. of British growths marl, mcoadly, that it reables them to hull, in the warehouses of this country, a large stork of foreign wheat, the notoriety of which depresses the markets, from the dread of its tieing 'footed in so autos as it in set fete by the prices rising above tso shilling.. The firid uhketiun proceeds epos two assumption', both of which appear to your Cummittee sluubtrul Ist, that the capitals of the dealers are absorbed in this foreign spe culation; and 2,11 y, that, if n o t so employed, they would speculate with them in British curs,. Your Committee conceive that there is no fixed 411141111 a of capi*•l assigned In this trusty, and that it is gs.serussl by the arsine pesori- pies which stimulate the application ssf capital in all other branch. aof foie'rgis or domestic commerce. value of all the foreign cora now in this circuitry, which castom be sold for house consumption fill the price 'hail, for some weeks, have exceeded 811.. a isinitell, w probably less t h an out maims sts dime. 11ritssh corn, by the list retells, was shout Ws. per quarter, Can there be • doubt. if nn impression prevailed generally, that it wort:il rise to 795. before the next harvest, that abundant capital would be fornid for specula tion; sad is nut the waut of it, at Hiss moment, rather to be received as evidence of an apprehension that, in the event of another productive harvest, the present low pikes would not be improved? Upon the 'second objection, your Committee have only to remarkohat it is uuqueationably true, that the present ae. euniniation of a great quantity of foreign emu, the *vetting of She two or three het harvests VII the Continent, 11011141 bare a coissiderable itifluence upon the prices herr, in the event of the purl being o p ened in consequesice of a deficient harve.t.

Should the prices here lie fluctuating between 70s. and 80s. smut small difference might pet bops be pro. tiered by Abe knowledge of the neeumiluiluit in our Mill warehouses, utimulet,ng the British grower to bring his own core lo market, to keep down the price when it was sop. proaching to the impost rate, is order to shut out the fu. reign supply.
