From a paper which his Lordship held in his hand,
he observed that the number of yards of linen manu
factured for foreign consumption, or which was ex
ported in the year 1751, was twelve millions; the
next year the British bounty was difeontinued, and it
fell to ten millions; in 1756 it was no higher than e
leven millions; and in the next year, 1757, when the
bounties were again granted, the number of yards en
tered for exportation, suddenly rose to fifteen milli
ons; and so continued to encreafe for several years.
This was fufficient ground for him to conclude,
that the British bounty operated as a great encourage
ment. It was not a large sum that was appropriated
for this purpose, the whole not being in the highest
year, above 15,0001.
He made several other miscellaneous observations
to shew that Great-Britain had nothing to dread in
the point of rivalfhip in the woollen branch, for that
when there was a proper demand for wool in Ireland,
it bore a much higher price than in England ; so that
as we must save the superiority over the Irifli in the
fine fabricks, so in the low ones the inhanced price
of the raw material must be a great impediment in
their way ; not that he thought but Ireland might,
in some articles which would not interfere with Eng
land, reap great advantages from the liberty proposed
to be given by the present resolution. He stated
that till lately the Irish wool had been progressively
on the rife from ten to twelve, and so on as high as
eighteen shillings the stone of 141 b. whereas the wool
in England has been fold at the double-stone of 181 b.
The wool export and woollen manufacture hill re
mained in the possession of Ireland, to reltore which
was the objed of his present motion. In 1692, from
jealousy or some other motive, the two Houles of the
English Parliament addressed the crown, recommend
ing a kind of compact between both kingdoms ; the
terms of which were, that England should enjoy the
woollen manufacture exclusively, and Ireland the
linen. Now, however solemnly this compact was ob
served by the latter kingdom, the truth was, that
England carried on the linen manufacture to as great
an extent as Ireland, while the monopoly ofthe wool
lens remained totally with England. The firlt step
the latter took-was, to lay a duty on all her woollens
nearly equal to a prohibition ; but what did England
do in a very few years after, but by an adofits own
Parliament, actually prohibit the export of Irilh wool
lens ? That was the ad that at once put an end to the
woollen trade of Ireland. The next ad was a law of
the sth of George the firft ; the next the sth and 19th
of the late King, which last went so far even as to
prohibit the export of a kind of a woollen manufac
ture called waddings, frizes, and one or two other
articles which were excepted out ofthe icth and iith
of King William ; but these three last ads swept every
thing before them.
Having thus enumerated the hardships Ireland la
boured under, his Lordship next proceeded to state
some fads relative to the trade of that country, and
the numerous benefits this derived from it in the way
of trade and commerce. He said, upon an average
of the fix years from 1766 to 1772, the export to Ire
land was somewhat more than two millions; and in
the succeeding fix years, ending in 1778, about as
much more, one half nearly British manufacture or
produce, the other half certificated articles of which
this country was the medium of conveyance, out of
the native produce, which was something more than
900,0001. per annum, on the average only 200,0001.
were woollens; so that in thislight, supposing every
thing that any man could with to conclude from the
fad, would it be found policy to rifle a million export
of native produce for a woollen export of 200,000).
Another very important consideration was, that Ire
land, when restored to her wonted good humour,
joined with motives of common interest, as (lie had
always hitherto proved, would continue to be the best
customer this country has. The woollen manufac
ture must for a long time indeed continue in a state of
infancy ; and though clothes had been manufactured
fufficient to answer a considerable part of the home
consumption, yet it could be hardly expeded that
Ireland would be able to rival Great-Britain at the
foreign markets, when, after the expence of the land
carriage, freight, insurance, factorage, &c. (he was
able to undersell Ireland in her own markets on the
very spot, though aided by the advantages of low
wages and taxes.
Having established this point very ably, he then
proposed to confider the state of the linen trade,
which however prosperous it might appear, was (till
capable of great improvement. It was a pamphlet
written by the celebrated Sir William Temple that
firft suggested the idea of extending and improving
the linen manufacture of Ireland, and sirs tfuggefted
the compact between that kingdom and England al
luded to. It was the opinion which prevailed with
many, he believed, that as the compad was now to
be dissolved, should the Irifli be permitted to enjoy
a free export of woollens, that the bounties paid on
the importation into England of certain species or fa
brics of Irish linens, ought to be discontinued. In
this he differed greatly from the gentlemen who rea
soned in that manner, and he would support his dif
ference of opinion from the following authentic do
cuments.

however wool bore a very low price, which he un
derstood it did at present, being so low as nine, or
even eight (hillings the stone, it would encourage the
people to manufacture it, and the more particularly

His Lordship then enumerated the several ads
which were to be repealed, so far as they reftrided
the woollen export of Ireland, namely, the 12th, 15th,
and 22d of Charles the second, the icth and iith of
William the third, the sth of George I, and the sth
and 19th of the lalt King, which was agreed to, ne
mine contradicente, as were likewise the second and
third proportions relative to the free export ot glass,
and a permission to be given to Ireland to trade with
the British colonies upon equal terms, on the pay
ment of equal duties upon export and import. The
two firft, his Lordship said, he would include in one
bill, and proceed in the usual stages with all conveni
ent expedition. The last, third, he threw out to the
consideration of the House and Parliament of both
kingdoms, till after the Christmas recess.
