Nor mast it be forgotten that the experience, obtained within she lost few years, of the qualities and value of the American wood, which has had tarn effect of remark% much of floc iorejeselice that pervaded against it, iu NO fir must probably have contributed to induce • petusaueut tx. tendon of its consumption.

I F I Time stale of the duty on deals will out, is the °pinkie of your Committee, allow the same degree of relative mine ' tr u er to be applied to it, which has been recommended fur that us timber. The rate of ditty on long &Mara preseat falls considerably below that ow timber, whilst ua those of short lengths it ra ther exceeds it. be what principle this distinction it favour :of dm% as compared with timber in the lug, originated, paori(bemOtart are at a lost to discover, and are averse to • rellestansesd a costianasce of it, at least to its present extent. The, feel. however, eossiderable difficulty is tworresing to equalise the duty on limber and deals, which, if eir cteil be a milliliter of the deity on timber, niust be attended with 4 • large sacrifice of revenue, and if by an additive to shut on deals, might tend in some measure rather to impair iha , sexist the foreign trade of the kingdom, by the effe t ii would liege on the experts of wood from abuse Slates, of which deals form the greatest proportion. This, in the opinion of your Committee, precludes the application of a rule of eh let equality to deals and to timber ; but it appears to them, that while the amount of duty on timber isreducod in the degree prupused, a small increase on deals of large dinivusivins will, in some measure, lanes the distine tion, at least as far as that class of deals is concerned. thi the shot ter deals, they rreuturnead some reduction of duty, less with reference to the manner in which the duty •t present bears upon this description of deals iii eseparises with timber, than is consideration of the difference is the quantity of wood contained iu a give:, number of de .la of the larger and smaller dimensions, which seems' to call, in respect of the latter, fur a more fa vourable assessment. Another alteration which has soy. gested itself to your Committee, is one that has reference to deal ads, on which a comparative low duty has been hid doers') levied, in order to •tcometorlate the shipowner, in broken stowage; this indulgence has been found to lead to great abuse, in covering the introduction of timber of this description am cargo (a practice never contemplated) to an esteot enrol injurious to the revenue. They therefore sub mit the propriety of confining the length of this chits of deals lib 111% reel, and making a moderate reduction in duty to which they are at rest lit liable. _ _ _ In eonseqosence of the Report referred to them, the mud,- of levying the duty oil dells and wood of the other dna.- nanations, under which it in imported 11110 this count. ) , according to the callow I , has heed au object of your Cunuuitteea examiseation; and although the redection of them all to their cubical rmdruts ill assessing the duly. • lull the first view of it, the most easy as well as the mod tquitable principle that could he adopted, your Corn• maitre lone found reasons in support of coutinuiug the ea noting mode (both as a matter for cosivesienee, end as mo tiering a degree of equality In fereete the countries by which our impostatious of wood are furnished), sufficient to pre . vent their proposing to the House to relinquish it; in pre raving the mode, however, they ere or opinion, that an itopiovemeist may be introduced into the scale Slow io 110., by admitting a goadatiou of duty, between the dial aids and deals of the largest class, which, it appeals to your Com- Inittro, would alai,' more of ctually that adiantace by which t►e existing etude of levying Ike duty is chiefly re• emiumended. Your Committee have abstained from entering, in this Report, into details upon the subject of batteus, oak plank, slaver, deck-plank, paling-boards, masts, spars, and the oilier various denossiniations under which timber is imported. to which their attention has been directed. The duties on these will be influenced by those on the more inspoeteest ar ticles, and will make a necessary part of any manure that may hereafter be submitted to the Nouse. Th e p o licy of a kgislative preference being given to the importsr.on of timber in she lot, and the discouragement of the important's of deals, seems to your Committee very doubtful, both breast.. they are of opinion that any asram gage to be expected Nom the coaversiou of timber into deals in this country will out be sufficient so compensate for the correspondirig disairvastage to the general costumer (no whom the deals would come with a considerable Mecca e of cost), and because it is founded on a principle of • which they are most arkeso to see brought lam operation its ally new iestaia,-e, without the warrant of some evident and great political expeilieury. Your Committee have discovered in flee accounts before them. that the protective duty in favour of !latish shipping, leas been mode to operate in different degrees on the im portation of wood of different descriptious, varying from 24 to 5 per can at:d in some unimportant instaaets falling below, as in others considerably exceediog these rates, on the value of the particular article imported ; for this in equably, which introduces much perplexity into the collec tion of t►e duty, there dues not appear to be any sulEriert reason, nod they the►efine submit to the consideration of the House lb. propriety of making the same duty attach on all Ituportatious of wood in foreign ships alike, and that the amount of difference between the importation in the foreign 'hip and that in the British ship, should be fixed fur the future at 5 per ceul. One only further reeummeeilation has suggested itself to your Committee, which, be coecluding their Report, they are desirous of uffe. iug to the House. II bas appeared in the elide-lice, ilia a great proportion of the limber which it imported hone the province of Causda, is the growth of the United States, and has been permitted to be received into that province free from Juty, and has front thence been exported to the United kisigdom, with all the benefits and immunities conceded to the produce of the Britirk terrinory. Tu obviate the objection to which this practice ap pears to your Committee to be liable, they are of opiedos, that with every exportation of timber from the British pro viuces in North America, a certificate of its being the pie_ duce of these provinces should be required, and that timber imported without such certificate shim Id be hereafter charged with the same rate of duty as would be payable on it, if On posted directly from n foreign state. submitting the result of what has occurred to theta in As eserse of their inquiry into this important subject, yore .Cossidute have ouly to add, that in the recommeedatione which they have tendered, it has been their endeavour, to the utmost of their power, to con e ,liate the claims of al- Irene iuteresta, and Ihe conteudiug rousederations of policy film &mended their attention. If what they propose falls fort short of n recur trace to those sound principles by which all commerce ought to be tegislaied, they trust it will ap pear to the House, that they have proceeded as far as, under present circusestauces, is cuimisteut with an gut tattle retard to the protection due to extrusive interests that 11.11/i g WWII up under an established system, and which must be deeply affected by any material and sadder charge to o Lich that system is subjected.
