TO THE RIGHT HONOURABLE F.. 1. ROBINSON, PRESIDENT OF THE !WARD OF TRADE. Silt—There is no subject of deeper interest to the calm ankaity ikon that en which 1 presume to address you, suit as it will very soon trecitity the attention of bath Houses of Parliament, 1 shall endeavour to lay before you, with as much brevity as possible, the names why I Hawk the pee. vest Cone Law better adapted to the interval of the farmer than say other which shall have for its basis a system of protecting By the present law the farmer hos a utooopoly of the home-market till the price of wheat shall have maintained Mts. ea the average of the air weeks preceding any of the four periods of the year which govera the impure. Expo. rienee has gismo, that whenever the price exceeds the im port murk, he that 03s. or 1113 s. it proceeds from a deficiewcy of One home soppily, sod importation immediately totes plate. It is of this the farmers complain; their monopoly is then broker through, and 'hey cantos submit pitifully to competiiion with the merchant. D.. exasainattan, hew. ever, it will be found, Shot is point of fact they have so substantial ground of complaint, fur instead of the import lowerisig the market, the very reverse has really occorred.— For information on this point let sneerer to November 1816: The Ports opened on the Ifeth of that mouth, the average being Mts. 9d. Oa the 15th February following, it was loos. 10d. And on the 15th May Avid it is very remarkable. that though the importation was free from November 1816 to February 1819 (wish the "sceptic's of the November quarter in 1817), and 'bat der. is; that period the value of fureigo corn received exceeded 17 millions sterling; the average of the average pieces which governed ibis impost was 918.0 d. Here then is clear proof that an import does not lake place but from necessity, and that then it has very little influence on the price, except so far as it prevents an extraordinary and insufferable advance. In ibe above-named periods the tawdry was visited with bad crops, and bus for this supply no inconsiderable portion of iii inhabitants mast have perished by famine. The adv..- vales of protectiag duties say, we admit the deficiency and the necessity for a supply, but this is the very reason why • duly should have been levied ; it would have been wily en mach taken oat of the pockets of the foreign farmer, awl pet into one own Exchequer; this, however, I apprehend is • complete fallacy, as the quantity which the foreigner seeds depends upon the price he receives. A tee. bin price will drain the coasts of Europe and America; hot if we require more, we tonal have it brought down from the interior, sod then the cost is iseremed; it must he brought further and further, every anemia of the thiamine increasing the price. Wheat, within the period named, was bootlicks 500 miles down the rivers to Danzig and Peters. burgh, and flour 1,500 to 2.000 souks to the shipplug ports of America. What brought this supply but the wants of this country, and tie high priers we were willing to pay fur it ? Surely it will not be asserted that if by any duty we bad abridged the price received by the foreigner, the supply would have been as great, and as we undoubtedly wanted al: we obtained, it is quite evident that if a duty had been imp lored, the consumer must have paid it. An import of 17 millions sterling required an average of 91s 4d. and is will hardly be coutended that an average of 80s. would ham brought as much, or that if we hail wanted 25 millions we most not have paid 95f. to 100 s. It is the price which de. terminal the quantity imported, and the price is ululated by IM quantity required, and the expense of obtaining it. If thee, Sir, I should have succeeded in proving to you, that the duty imposed moat eveatitally he paid by the coo kware whenever the wants of the country are very large. 1 will in the mkt place draw your •Iteution to the con.. mammes of protecsing duties, when the crop of our. own rouatry is adequate to its consumptiou. It usually happen. that whoa the crop of England is vod, that of Europe is good also; a good crop in Borland, it will not be de. Med, is equal to the consumption. Now if with such a crop we should be rxposrd so importation, from any scale of duties to wh , cb the country is 11kely to submit, the price tarsi be depressed wretchedly low, awl a succession abeam. lout harvests would annihilate the agriculture of the king dom. Even with dfrrtive crops in Europe, we have veto what immense quantities can be spared. and with productive ; ones it is hard to say how low the growers would he willing to sell, sooner than bold a reilmulant produce which could scarcely he mid to posers. any exchangeable value. The pretest price of the belt wheat', its some of the lower I ports of 'the Bailie, is abaft 32a. per snarler, and I sa. tisfiril it would still be lower, hat Igor,. ;he roisidetirro which reels on the minds of the fanners, that if they only persevere its holding their stocks, they will certainly obtain i pretty near our import price, for it siwruld be ' , membered ; that upon the whole this must be considered an insportior country. If, however, the present Curs low should be re- I, peated, and • sesta of duties substituted, the first eptcation I ate the part of the foreigner will he " what duty shalt we have to pay ?" sisal from that moment the price will adapt itself. and importation will immediately take plate. This I too will nammeuro at a period when the price of our home I predate to cookssisdl, too low, but it mold never Moppets wader the Mama law. It is tree that importitious is hood • TRIM/V1(114g.

That while your Petitioners admit. to the fullest extent, the claim of the manufacturers of this kingdom to the high eoneitieration and protective of Government, yet they do, at the same time, must humbly augge.t, that the admission of the ships of foreigners to engross the principal part of the car rying trade preach a bulky commodity as timber, will nlti mately more than counterbalance any pretest advantage that tbeniannfacistrec might gain by the adoption of the measure. That the carrying trade will be thrown iota the Iran* of foreigners Is most certain, owing to the wood bring the pro doer of their own country, combined with their unquestioned ability to navigate at lower rates of freight; and although it might clltiSe a present demand fur a small quantity of the goods of our manufacturers (probably not exceeding the de creeeed ronsumption of our Otrit Colonies), should this alter ation of the duties he carried into effect, yet it i■ respect fit'ilv submitted, that ruinous eonarquences would tissue to a great proportion of time shipping interest mirth, kingdom, of shirks,, large a portion is employed in tie conveyance of lumber from North America, and to the numerous branches of trade connected therewith, and dependant thereon, whew every encuarsigtmeot ought rather to be lellieU to the geode "from 0111 . 1001 Colnnira, upon which so cousiderable a part of the community depend. for it. existence.

That Site ?fleet of the alteration coatemplated in t►e system of duties will be to prohibit the importation of limber from the American Colonies iellogethev, and in this manner the eatablishments of Ilse subjects of Great Britain will be broken np, and the Colonies deprived of almost their only medium or exchange for the manufactures of this country, and the immense , numbers of people who have bad every encourage ment held slot to them to emigrate to our North American Colonies, Hypo the faiths of the trade beige piutected, will thereby be thrown not of employment. l'our Petitioners further beg leave to state, that a great number of the .hips belonging to this port are almost ex. elusively calculated for carrying timber from British Arne. ries, being too large for the Baltic trade, and .from their !went ia r COOSI moo." ate. trellerall, apeakisg,itl adapted for I the West India Ur oilier tfidleNlUd eli.eU were they so adapted, thin► trades are ■lready glutted with a sorplus of shipping. 'f he only advantages to this tertiary which your Petition er., can 'oppose to be contemplated to arise from the propos ed alteration, will be an increased demand from the North. tan States fur our manufactures; yet it is most isbvtoos that a• tin article of commerce, if the onnseitspliou on the one hand is to be regulated merely by the demand f or the coin . msdity offered in ',wheelie ne the other, we 'hall everitnally Irlin nothing, lint are merely carrying our goods to another market, while we are losing the market formerly afforded by CU/ 411.0 CNIODiee, and by such a meatiba hewellting States m.l opposite in t , and alt.•gether unconnected with us, at the earliee of one of the must valuable depeudatieies of the British Crown.
