COf BILL. • Lord'HAWKESBURY moved the order of the day for' the second reading of the Corn Bill, which being read t_ Ea"rl STANHOPF. rose, and said, he had yester day given notice of three resobitions, which he in. tended to move, and which contained a settled, re gular, deliberate system, relative to the produce of corn, different from the system contained in this Bill ; and, in his emission far preferable to it. If he understood rightly the nature and object of this Bill, it was the intention of the framers and supporters of it, to encourage the growth of corn and grain, by inerrerias the price The system contained in his propositions was, on the contrary, calculated to encourage equal. ly the growth of cora by decreasing the price.— He admitted the proposition laid down by the advocates for this Bill, that it was necessary something shoeld be done -tewards - furwawfing and improving . the i!tgliculture sof the and, partteldatly to encourage a larger produce of corn and grain, otherwise the farmer would-not cultivate his lands that way, and scarcity, and perhaps famine, would be the inevitable con sequence. So far all parties were perfectly agreed. But, said' his Lordship, 'there are two ways of doing the same thing, and the mode pro- posed by this Bill, he thought a had one, for what was it but in effect to lay a heavy burden on the lower orders of the people, already too heavily laden, in order to recompense the farmer, by giving him a stimulus to increase the growth of corn ? and what would be the consequence? The ircrease in the price of corn and grain would instantly operate to wards increasing the price of every necessary of life; consequently the price of labour would rise in proportion. The labourer would say to the far mer, Master, the bread is raised, and every thing else is raised, I must therefore have more wages.' The firmer continues to raise the price of his corn further, the labourer raises again in his de mand of wages, and so they go on, the one against the other, till the very end prcposed is entirely ft us trated, and the poor's rates become so enormous, that the farmer is but little, if at ail, benefitted by the high prices, which he, from time to time, puts on his Corn, while the people are must severely bur dened and oppressed; and the farmer, finding that hi , h prices do not answer the end he expelled, and wished, may finally produce no more corn than he does at present, and in that way scarcity and famine may be the consequence. It would be wise, there. fore,in that House, to consider well the consequences before they adopted the measures proposed by this Bill. The system he had to propose in the Re solutions he should have tAe honour to submit to their Lordships' consideration went to encourage the produce of Corn, by decreasing the price, would always ensure plenty, alt.! he was certain all the far mers in the country would be in favour of the plan; the manufacturers would he the same ; and the poorer classes, and lower orders of the people, would receive the greatest benefits from it. The resolutions he had to propose contained the system he alluded to. They were three in number ; but he wished to read them as one, merely for the purpose of entering them on the Journals of the House. It was not his intention, at this late period of the Ses sion, to take the sense of the House on them ; but they would thereby be in their Lordships posses sion, and they might give them due consideration till a fair opportunity should offer of bringing them forward in the course of the next Session. kfe was happy to think he had received the support ot •a Right Reverend Prelate (the Bishop of St. A saph), to one of his resolution% which was in favour of public granaries. His Lordship then read his first resolution, which was as follows; Resolved I st, "That it i.the opinion of this House, that public granaries should ise eitablished, to re ceive, in years of plenty, corn and grain grown in this country, in order to keep down the price there of in years of scarcity, and effeCtually to secure to this nation in ail seasons a sufficient supply, and likewise in order to provide for the tanners at all times a certain market for their corn and grain, and to diminish fluctuation in the price of the IseCebaal les of life." Here his Lordship went over several of the argu ments he had used on a former evening, on this heed, and said, be was certain, from what he bad seen in Switzerland, that such public receptacles for corn could not fan to produce the moss beneScial consequences, as they would enable the Government to pay the farmers, at all times, a fair price for their corn; the farmers would always be sure of a mar ket ; and, in case of a scarcity, the country would have nothing to fear. I lis second resolution was, Resolved idly, " That it is the opinion of this House, that all impediments, created by any law UT laws, to the free warehousing ‘lf corn and grain, ought to be removed, abolished, and repealed.' From what had fallen from the Noble Secretary of State, on a former occasion, respeCting the ware housing of corn, he thought he should have bat sup. port and he was therefore happy to think he had two such supporters to two of his resolutions, out of the thr ee . S uc h ware housing would be o f corn and grain, the growth of this country, and not fo reign corn. We shall thereby be enabled to pro duce a sufficiency, without applying to foreign coun tries, and thereby encoursging the agriculture of those countries, and enabling them to export their corn and grain into this kingdom, by which means they would in time do an irreparable mischief to, if not ruin, our navy ; for they at present engrossed nearly the whole of the carrying trade. Formerly corn was only impaled in British bottoms, stud there was scarcely a Dantzic ship, cf more than 200 or 430 tons ; but nov: they had them from 400 to 1,400 tons, and the whole trade was in their pos s-ssion. His Lordship t h is, cause to the purport of his third Resolution. ieJfa (rims supssci. He said, the two first were such as he be lieved would be very serviceable to the interests it the country, but they would be vain and nugatory, without the third, which was the most efficient of all towards completing the system, which he had to propose in opposition to that c , nraired in this Bill, lie then requested their Lordships to recoiled that the government of this country had, from time to time, fur many years, entered into a successisin of wars, in which they had been but too much eneou• raged by the Legislature ; these wars had brought on an enormous national debt, and that national debt an enormous load of taxes, which had long oppressed the great mass of the people To thee wars, this debt, and these taxes, are to be attril,ute i the enc.rmotts rise in the price of all the necessaries of life. and particularly in the price of bread. It was therefore necessary that every proper encou ragement should be given to the produce of corn, but not as this Bill would do it, by the increasing the price. his next resolution embraced a system which would fully efFed this desirable purpose, and at the same time decrease the price oftprn. He would have the • flrmers el:env:cc} from ardired tares, Fur be thought they were not fit subjets for taxation, sad if this was carried into effect, it would do more tot. wards encouraging the growth of corn, and ei.e creasing the price of it, than all the Bills that had ever been framed and passed on the subject. The supporters of the present Bill had shown that they considered what he said of it on a former occasion as founded in fad, for they had made it to com mence its operation, instead of the 15th August (which was the day fixed by the last Bill) on the 15th November ; and why ? Because they were afraid of a scarcity. In November, the Parlia ment will be sitting, and than they can repeal it. Such is t ', permanent system they had produced for the encouragement of the growth of corn; where as his would be a permanent system, for he w:uld have the farmers exempted from dired taxes for ever.' He then.read his third re elution as follows : Resolved silly, u That in order to encourage a., growth of corn and grain iu Great Re itain and Ire land, and at the Name time to decrease the price thereof, for the benefit of the people at Legs, and f ir the increase of our nunufafturei and commerce. it is the opinion of this House that the farma s should he for ever discharg.d frpm the payment of all dire% taxes, parish and county rates, cosies, dues, tythes, and parliamentary impositi nl what soever ; save only and except {,hose rates of the na ture of a penalty which may be raised upon any hundred as such." If he could pot this resolution to the people at large, he was sure, he said, that, instead of being in a minority, he should be able to pall a hunched to one in its Nemo.. He should poll all the fanners; he s'iould poll all the manufaatirers ;\ he should poll ail the labouring people ; in short, all classes of people would be in favour of it, because it must forcibly strike every one, that it was the chief part of a s) stem that could not fail to encourage the growth of corn, and to decrease the price of bread, in oppo sition to the Bill. the system of which is to raise :l.e price of corn, and consequently of bread, and every other necessary of life; and finally to starve the people. He had lately read, with great pleasure, a pamphlet, which wad admirably written, and which came from the pen of th? father of the Noble Secre tary of State (Earl of Liverpool), on the subieet of Arming the People." He was himself fully sen sible of the propriety and necessity of arming the people ; bat he was surprised that Government should first put arms into their hands, and then encourage and support a Bill that would famish them. The Duke of MONTIIOSF. said, he could not refrain from making sonic observations on what fell from the Noble haul who ju.t sat down. That I , Noble Earl did on the present Jay, as well as on va. 'loos other occasions, think roper to censure the , conJua of His Majesty's Government, and attribute ; to the Government and the Parliament all the diifi calks that existed in the' country. He would re- ' pres-re the war as unpopular, and the Parliament as the cause of that war. So far as that assembly, to whom he was addressing himself, were concerned in the present war, it was necessary for a moment . to consider what interest they could have had in pro motinfr, it. It was hardly necessary for him to say th it there was no class of His Majesty's subjeCts, who gained less, and suffered more, by a war than the members of that assembly ; and therefore it was impossibl: to suppose they could have gives their santtion to war from any other motive than a strong i sense of national honour, and a convidion that the war was necessary for the preservation of our na tional existence. The Noble Earl had been on all k ocea.cions in the h a bit o f i n th un i ng t h e m i n d s o f t h e people, not only against the Government, but also I against the Parliament. However his attacks against the Government might be tolerated; he hoped the Parliament, and particularly that How*, I would not stiffer itself to be vilifier; and abused. It was not easy to conceive what a mischievous erred such speeches as those of the Noble Earl might have upon the public mind, if they were suf. feted to go abroad unanswered. To say that the pre sent was a Bill to starve the poor, was not only mis. chievous in the highest degree, bin tudoundcd in • fa& So far from its being a Bill to starve the people, its immediate objea was to prevent famine and starvation in the country. And some of the arguments used by the Noble Earl, when speaking against the Bill, might he advanced in favour of it. lie had contended that all taxes ongbt to be taken off th.• farmer; and of course the taxes must fall on the consumers of provisions. Wouid not the present Hill have welly smell an effed as this ? Would it not raise the value of cern for Lila benefit of the farmers, and compel the consumers to pay an advanced price? Lord IIAWKESBUItY said, the Noble Earl who opened this d inflammatory of)! sacred to go fur deflate, had used man? violent an I • y.ervations, which should not be th among the public, without that
