Wit what Waa the result since the imposition of the •isity ? Lotted of the manufacturer goiog nu in that presort-Ims condition, they saw that in every part of -he kingdom there was a greet diminution and decay •.f ,t. Rot it an happened, that it was only in relat• o one district of &Wand, the West Riding of Voir k *hire, that official document, existed to chew the *or of that decline. This paper proved, that 1 WOO the greatest absurdity sud madness in the Government to attempt to raise a revenue off the raw muterial.—(Heer, hear, hear.)—The docu ment was an account of the quantities of broad Bluth milled in, the West Riding during the dif. fereut years. lin the last, it was something' less than seve:. millions of yards. He had looked back to the years of greatest commercial difficulty and distress—to 1816 and 1808; but to find a parallel to 1819, he was obliged to go bock to 1794 (11ear, hear.)—lt was impossible that this could be owing Puiely to the distressed state of the country, other impaired coirlition of other branches of trade; it woe to be attributed to the falling off of foreign trade. With respect to foreign trade, he tutertion ed,,apinions, he believed, something peculiar—they were to direct opposition to those who thought that the more we exported, and the less we imported, the richer we should be. They rejected the anti. quoted notion of the balance of trade—he appre hended no nation could trade with another but ou equal terms. They could not export without im porting at the same time. In his opinion, much too great a stress was laid in that House on Cos tom-house documents; he apprehended they could never furnish evidence contrary to persons' senses and observation, which afforded the best criterion whether the country was in a flourishing or a de caying state.—(Heor.)—The great sources of the prosperity end weshh of this country must be trade and commerce. lo Englimil, where the middling classes required to be supplied with all the conve menet, and superfluities of life, the nation must export manufactured goods in order to procure them. If they would have the sugar of the West Indies, and the tea of China, they were only to be obtained by the exportation of the products of our skill and industry. The merchant or the farmer were not to imagine that these things could be got by exporting raw produce. What countries were . the* greatest exporters of raw produce ? Poland wits the greatest exporter of Corn ; and would they concert this country to the trade and the poverty of Poland ? Would they go back from bring the first trading and commercial notion in the world, to hecume exporters of corn and cattle ?—(hear.) —The natural progressims of all states from iglu)- ranee, and barbarism, and poverty, to civilisation, refinement, and wealth, was from the hunter's state to pasturage, then to agriculture. manufactures, and lastly 'to commerce; and history would thew, that in their decline they fell back in th e 01 , 1 , 0 s:re order, becoming from manufacturing and commercial. agricultural and pastoral. %Vas this ti.e remedy which some people would recommend for our distresses? No ; we must cling to com merce—we must not only preserve, but augment oirr capital. If he might be allowed to say so, we could not effort to be poor: we were loaded wolf an immense debt, which could not he sup. parted but by en increasing capital. Ile did not inquire whether the greater pant of the war by which that debt had been created was just or hot, it wasoufficient for his purpose that it exist ed. Now the increase of wealth consisted princi p in the increased value given to the products of the earth by the addition of human labour and industry. The greater the industry, the greater the wealth of a nation. Was it wipe, then, he asked. to check the importation of those articles of natural produce, the improvement of which formed one of the chief channels of employment in this country, and on which so great additional value was con ferred, and therefore so muds wealth crested by the iogenuity and labour of our population ?—(//cur.) —The value of *mil worked up into cloth was in creueed in • triple, or even quintuple ratio. From • paper which contained the minutes of on exa mination of certain merchants before the Privy Council lost winter, it appeared that one of the w:tuesses stated that in the article of cloth our trader bad an sdvantaige of 71 per cent, over the 1' much and Flemish in the Antericau market. But it was his opinion. that the addition of 6il. per Ironed duty oo the importation of foreign wool would enhance the pnce of the article when completed fee sale onesseveuteenth of that price at which it woe supposed we had the advantage weutioned over the French sod Flemish merchant—that was, write, the price of the English. compered with the barrio article, was as 92 to 100; the advance of price caused by the additional duty would miuke it as 97 or 98 to 100.—(Hear, hear.) — It that were the Case. be said that we were now run rnag • very hazardous race indeed with the French sod Flemish manufacturer; we were running the risk of losing the trade. The trade which the Con tiiierst of Europe was cow driving on iu this respect wok Americo, was one which bed lately grown up. they had still to form connexions, and look fur miler advantages which we had long enjoyed there ; but an adherence to our presolt policy short ly place both on a similar luolskig. O.: the other bend, America was a great e ortmeut, a va-t propor. non of which still remained unoccupied and uncul tivated. so that at present the most natural and be. tiefictel employment of her population would be the iroprovetneot of the sod and agriculture. Aud Dr. Panuftlist bad told them that they ought not to be come manufacturers for a century to come. He Mated this by way of catmint, and that we might not. hy our impolitic regulations, drive them to dis pause with the use of our commodities. and maim facture for themselves.—(Hear.)—lt was nut in Americas alone. but in all parts of the world that we were premed by rue compentiou of the Continental manufacturers. He insisted on this to impress it on Ceeirdemett that they were nut to expect that be ret/se Eagland had during the war enjoyed a IlliWivOr of the trade of the world s she could now rem y bee oars. Such an inference would be en tirekunfuended. Let not Gentlemen who viewed We ys SS a protection to agricalture, imagine that 0 i 1 what aimed a vital Mow at one of oar thief me. tiolactorts, would euable their leamstey to pay their rent and taxes the better—the remelt should he directly the reverse. Nature, to a vertaio decree, pointed out the products 'adapted to pa;ticular climates, and those who eudeavoired to introduce the growth of the fine wool 'of Spain and Simony here, would, in his opinion, be Its omit' disappniuted as if they attempted to introduce the long wool of England into the Torrid Zoo's. Ile interned to this the rather, because it was moor* the growers sod encouragers of hue wool in %biomass• try that the measure had found its warmest support. ere. Indeed the'conclossion derivable from the minute already alluded to was, that the consequences of the coot' tttt once of the tax would be fully asinjurious to the agriculturist as the manufacturer. He bad endeavoured to 'the utmost of his power to check the signatures to Petitions against the duty ; but he had found it impossible, the feelings of the people were too stroseto he controlled. But be would not hue beets an honest man, could he base led them to think that the removal of the tax would restore the trade possessed during the war; he could not be so weak as to think so, nolo in sincere as.to say so. MI he said to the 'House WIN that when a branch of trade was already in a, State of decadence, it was not wise to force it lower-6 (Hear, kear)— that they should not urge down the descending: stone with greater rapidity. No lan gunge could describe the degree of misery and die tress to which the manufacturing population was re duced—his feelings had been actually harrowed in witnessing it. Agricultural distress was much spoken of, bat he himself liver' in a district of Eugland which was purely agricultural, and it laboured under no distress whatever. But if they went into Yorkshire or Lancashire, how was the scene altered? In the town of Sheffield the poor rates fur the first four 'Booths of the present year, were double their amount in the four corresponding months of the lost year. lit this situation it was moot grating to the feelings of these people to have experiments made on what constituted their only source of subsistence. He called upon Parliament to repeal this Mx, be cause it was • departure from our ancient petite'. pies; because it seemed to be the commencement of a series of experiments in our manufactures to as certain how much they could bear; because it was adverse to the accumulation of wealth at otiose when such accumulation was peculiarly oecitesary; and because the acknowledgment of the principle was destructive of all the great perennial sources of national w e alti s .—/ Warm and continued elseering.i —The Noble Lord then moved for leave to bring in a Bill to repeal the Tax on Foreign Wool. Mr. T. WiLsos, in seconding the motion, thought it had been most wisely laid down by the Noble Lord, that this country must always consider herself as an exporting erne; but he believed it was necessary that the balance of trade should be in our favour, now when we were taking measures to revert to a metallic currency. At a time when they had heard from the President of the Board of Trade that it was intended to remove the war duties on timber from the North of Europe, he could not look on it as a measure of justice to impose a new tax, on the return of peace, on our own manufactur ing population. The effect of the tax would be most felt on the low-priced article. For York cloth, front 25. 6d. to 44. a yard, the merchants of this country had recently been 'whinny informed, that the foreign orders would be withdrawn nits less they supplied them ten per cent. cheaper. It was quite clear that no process, however loge taious or skilful in the manufacture of such cloths, could enable the British manufacturer to compete with those who had the wool of which it was in part tecceeserily composed SO mach cheaper. The keep ing up of the tax might inflict an injury on the country which could never be repaired. The pro duce of the tax was not worth the hazard, for it produced but seveuteen thousand pounds in four months. Mr. WESTERN opposed the motion. The first effect of the tax had been to induce Spain to take off a part of the export duty to the same amount, so that is fact the price of the article to the import lug merchant and the manufacturer continued the same as before. The cause of the smallness of the importation during the four months that the tax had been in operation, was the vast quantity im ported just before its commencement, in order to avoid the duty. Ile thought the measure necessary to ',remit the article being imported to such an extant, as to check and prevent its growth at home. The CRANCELLOR of the EXCIIEQUIR enter tained the seine sentiments on the subject which he had expressed in the last Parliament. The measure bad not yet received such a trial as to enable them .to judge of its results. Raw could they argue ou general principles of political economy respecting. a trade which had previously laboured guider a double monopoly ? In such circumstances it might be wise to look wide of general prin ciples by imposing a tax oil the raw material.-- He contended that there was no inconsistency in looking on the tax as a measure both of revenue sod protection. He knew of no better principle of taxation thou the t*aiug au article, the trade in which has gradually and constantly ioce which was the case with foreign wool imps. The manufacture of cloth' did not at all in• create in the same ratio; so that it appeared that the foreign wool had not been used in supply. iug the demands of a proptirtionally aormastrod ens. Gumption, but in overpowering the tale sad math' of the article at home. The overflow of foreign wool had alarmed the British grower, ipd afresh some persons thought otherwise, he never amid Sr derstand why all the coarse cloths could sot be made of British wool alone. Excessive imparta tion might in the end prove ruinous to the manufacturer, by depriving him of the largest, moat regular, sod steady vapply—that he meant, which was 'produced at home. The exports of woollens had nut fallen of more than thew of other manufactures, nor so much as some. The depression was principally owing to the deficiency •in the exports to America. It could be ascertained by an examination of official documents, that the circulation of Bank paper, which Ind stood some time before in that miautry at 110 nailliouv of dollar.. ova now r e dieed to 45 millions. Every• Gentleman moat be aware bow g►eatly a country mu.t he embarrassed, when above half its currency was taken oat .f eircelatiom.-- As an article of revenue, the tax had not.faihd, for it had not been tried; av au expedient of protection, it ege olliwe'wkstibt sow thee it any liviter time. Otrthiaegiwwods he felt it 'refinery to move the noises le (Mims . Mr. SM'isirl tY spoke is Sopped of the -nation. Mr. FitillltrlSoll 'lapelled the &Aims. The clues. tinn was, whether that was a wise tax which put 2.50,006/. • year into the Treasury. without levying ally hew burden on the people. He should have liked to have asked the Hon. Gentleman what was the proportion of Spanish wool exported to other parts of the world as compared with England ? He believed it would he found that France im ported not less t h an 500,000 pounds, certainly not excreting a million pounds and that in (act more than 7.loths of the 'Spaniels wool export ed came to this country alone. The question wis narrowed to the consideration of the coarse wools only, the importation of which into this country first took place about four or five years ago, when our coarse wools were et moat enormous prices. The Honourable Gentleman stater, that the admixture of these wools was necessary to make a certain description of woollen Roods, that is. the whole consumption of British and foreign wool together being about 160 minima; of pounds, of which about three millions of pounds were at foreign wool paying the tax, which was the enormous grievance complained of, and that was to occasion the total ruin of all our woollen tom nefectures. In the whole history of the system of protecting dvtie% l as they were called. he challenged the Noble ,oed had the Hots Gentle man to shew him a single instance like that of the wool growers of this conutry ; they are confined to the markets of England for the sale of their pro duce, and before the sax was laid on were without any protection from the competition of the foreign wool grower. What would'the West India merchant say, if foreign sugars were thus allowed to come in competition with the pro k eluce of our own islands ? The tax he thoug ht 3 was necessary as a protection to the growers if British wood, and it was but com. mon justice to allow it them • few if a free export were permitted, he was satisfi ed much greater ad vantages would accrue to them than any which they could derive from the prOtective power of the tax. He wished, on the part of the wool-growers, nothing more than a fair competition with foreigners in all the markets of the world : but if he was COD. filled to the market of this country only. then cer tainly they ought to protect him in that to which he was so limited. The Noble Lord said that this was the only instance of a tax on the raw material. Was not cotton (of which, by the way, we did nut grow an ounce) a raw material ? 'tiros not timber taxed, and was not that a raw material of considerable importance to this country ? The numerous packages in which goods were exported from hence were thus all taxed. The dyeing drugs and oil used in that very manufacture of woollens. were they not raw materials, and all taxed, but taxed with a reference to the wants of the croon. try on the one hand, and with the least possible prejudice to the manufacturers on the other ? The distress to which the Noble Lord had al. laded had arisen from - more general causes— reuses pressing en every clam of trade. agriculture, and manufactures. If lie had inquired into the state of the cotton trade. he would iii that have found the same diminution in demand, the same reduction of wages, iw short, the same distress as complained of in the woollen trade. How then could the distress in that branch be attributed to the tax ? The diminution was truly attributable to the diminished demand in America, for on a comp*. rison of the exports of last year as compared with the exports of the preceding year to that country.as drawn from accounts on the table, it would appear that there had been a falling off in the cotton trade of more than one half; in the hardware manufactures, full one half; and the export of woollens. though cou sitlerably diminished, had in fact suffered the least diminution of any. Comparing the exports of woollens to all the world, deducting the diminution of America. it would appear there was very little fall ing off, indeed less in that article than in any other : from which it was evident that effect hid not been produced by any of our internal regulations. The order which was said to have been received in this country from Russia, and which could not be executed at the price limited, might have had that price fixed so low, that notwithstanding our re duced rate of Isbour it could not be executed here on account of that limitation; but was it executed any where else ? He would answer that it was not, for in no other place could it be exe cuted for want of British coarse wool, which was only to be bad here. He had thought it his duty to inquire into the state of the woollen trade on the Continent, and had found it, from the operation of the same causes, still more depressed and distressed than here. He thought there was no reason to expect the tax could effect the export of any articles of which British wool was a component pert, and he thought they were bound to give it a fair trial. not us regarded the revenue, which he conceited to be a secondary consideration, but for the protection of the wool-grower, whom the House would be bound, if they repealed the tax. not to leave in the situation he was before placed in. for he was confident tlietiorwrfacturers themselves most think the monopdy of British wool was a boon to them, far more than adequate to any loss arising from the tax. If therefore it was not thought desirable by say party to open the trade for the ex port of British wool, it was essential that the Bri. tish grower should be protected from the compe tition of the foreigner in the . market to which he was limited. Mr. Caawea said he !bought the woollen ma nufactures, above all others, demanded the peculiar protection of the Howie, and that a more impolitic tax than the present had never been placed; for at the'same time that it failed to assist the agricul turist. for whine benefit it was avid to be laid on, it operated a direct and considerable injury to the manufacturer. Whatever tended to decrease productive labour tomer be injurious, and this mea sure was of that description. for it discouraged the woollen trade. which employed a large► proportion of people than say othe►. He wished that every labouring hand in the coontry should be produc tively employed. as many as possible in agriculture, and the remainder in commerce and manufactures. Mr. PIIILLITI thopiglit the question bad been a►gued too lunch on the norm* ground of injury to the woolltru manssiseturet4 only ; b u t he con sidered, as tt was calculated to obstruct exportation of woollen pods, it ism eery libely. istairectirb exteed its injurious effects to other be•wciss. Mr. Joint SUITN said, Ise wield only say • few wee& in vindicitioo of the•vote he intended to give. He tru anwilliog to vete for the repeal of any tax that would not give relief to the people of the cogent) at large; and he woe of °pinto°, that the motion of the Noble Lord would not have thst effect, fir which (etas* he mold Dot give it his support. Mr. Baitittre said, lifter giving the questioo his fullest consideration, hr was compelled to vote agsio.t 'he motion of the Noble Lord.
