Laws.
The ^" was then negatived without *

division; and the House haViog resolved itself into
a Coinnittee—
The Marquis of Loma°opium rose pursuant
so the notice which he had given, to call the atten-
ton of the Committee to certain Resolutions of
which they were already in possession. fu bring-
ing forward the proposition contained in the first of
those Reeolutions, noder the sanction of the Coton

might be onderitoood AM in doing so it am,
by nu means intended to justify that Prop*.
•sition ou its general principles, but only os.
the citcsmstances of the particular time. The
'llowourable Member for Taunton (%lr. Sarin`)'
lint proposed in the Coenmittee that in the present
artificial state of the Corn Laws, a certain capital
should be employed in the heads of Government in
the purchase of corn when prices were extreme*
low, for the purpose of keeping up the supilly
the market by disposing of it when from scareity„,
the prices should rise. That was proposed as roll
permanent arrangement ; but that plan not beiet
thought convenient, what was called "the paws.
looking plum" had been suggested instead, whicht
although it was not thought adapted for a 10.'14
new arrangement, yet had appeared a good outs
as applicable to the particular case. After caps
siderable diacusiiion, strong reasons preponder
in the minds of the Consrnitttee op stein, to indu
them to think that eveo the present emergency
would not justify them in retommending the par.
chase of corn by Government agents, on IbCCOIIII% of
the unfavourable effect upon the markets of such a
plan, the appearance of a Government agent in a
market having a general tendency to defeat advan-
tageous competition between individuals. Looking
at the other plau, they did conceive that there
was nothing in it that at all violated the prin-
ciple of free competition in trade, and that a
measure might be adopted of making advances
to persons purchasing coru with the prospect of
an advance in the price at a subsequent period
of the year. That idea had arisen out of the
circonistancesof its having been found, on comps.
rison, that the quantity of corn that found its way
to the market in the earlier months of the present
year was needy double the quantity at market in
the corresponding part of the former year. That
was attributed, in some degree, to over-production;
but also to circumstances operating to compel

the small farmers in particular to forCe their gr.ain
mto the market in the early pert of the year.
io the hope of being thereby enabled to make good
their engigements with the landlords for the pay-
meat of their rents. And it was thought that at a
later period of the year the supply in the tnitrkets
would be considerably dimiMalted, whereby a rise
its the prices might be expected, corresponding
with the former depression. It was obvious that
the market in the present year was not in a whole-
some and natural state ; and it therefore appeared,
that if additional purchasers could be brought into
the market, who would purchase. on a correct
notion of the time state of the operation of supply
end demand thresighout the year. they weeld not at
all destroy the fair effects of abundance. For the
phut proposed, it appeared, would not teed at an to
raise the prices ou the average of the year, but
would only have the effect of wore equally distri-
hottag the-supply to the consumer throughout the
year, uod of equalising the prices, instead of letting
them go oo ruinously low in the early part of
the year to the grower, and be raised high
towards the close of the year, to the prejudice of
tite consumer. The Government, after the best I
consideration it had been able to give to the sub-
ject, found reason to believe that there was not so
much a want of 'private capital in the country
tar such en operation, us a want of conviction.
that it might be made with advantage. The
plan lad therefore been proposed in the Commit-
tee, of making small monthly advances to persons
storiug corn, not so av to luck it up from the mar-
sets entirely, but to afford them the opportuOity
of consulting their own conven eller in the sale of
it, *whenever a prospect of advantage offered. He
had thought that any measure by which a consider-
able quantity of motley might be thrown into the
circulation would tend to general relief, isidepen-
deut of its local appliertion, and therefore he had
consented to charge himself with the proposal of
this measure. There was this advantage in the
plan, that if It did no good it could do it. harm.-
IHear, hear, hear.)—That certainly was uo tocon•
siderable advantage to soy plan. if there was an
impression that coin would not rise to price at the
la;ter end of the year, no person would Ix induced
to enter into the speculatiou; but if the impression
was the other way, then the measure would be bene-
ficial in the distribution of the supply more fairly.
so as to used the demand. He did not Ititmell
vote fur this measure in the Committee, because
laviug proposed another which was rejected,
he thought it better to leave the Committee to
the fair exercise of its discretion ; and they having
decided in favour of the plan, he felt it his duty
to bring it forward for the fair consideration
of the House. His respect for the Committee
would have been a sufficient reason to induce him
to bring it forward ; but there was another reason
which weighed greatly on his mind. which was, that
lie had beau told by many Grailleinen, whose con-
neatoos gave them extensive means of iisfurniatiou
on that point, that it was, whether right or wrong,
precisely the bort of measure from which the
farmers themselves conceived it likely that a re-
medy might be derived for their preieut exigencies.
He thought be had said as touch as was tweet:miry
to make the stature of the ;imposition iutelhgtlle ;
and lie hoped the Committee would dispose of it
without uniting it up with any enlarged view of the
turn laws of the comitry, and that it would be dis-
posed of as speed ly as possible. He would HOW

Mr.Cuevetti said, though some objection might
be urged against the plan on its general principles,
yet be did Conceive that much advantage might be
derived from it tree as a permanent regulation I for,
in years of scarcity, the same appearance of irregula-
rity in the markets might be observed, even in a
greater degree, than in years of plenty, and the pres-
sure on the poor, from the high prices at the end of
the year, iv that case would be much more distress-
ing. He protested against the view which had been
taken of this question by the Hon. Member for
Coventry, as the most odious, unjust, and unfair
to the agricultural interests of the country.--
His reason for protecting duties was to encourage
the growth of a supply adequate to the consump.
tion of the country, by which it might be kept in-
dependent of foreign countries, and to prevent the
throwing of lands out of cultivation, by which thou.
sands of the most valuable part of the population
of the country must be reduced to beggary. He
wished he could say as much of all the plans pro-
posed by the Noble Lord as of this,that if it did no
good, it could not do harm.
Mr. Lamm opposed the plan as a most unjus-
tifiable application of money'raised from the peo-
ple of England in taxes, in order to raise the price
of bread against them.
Mr. Mammon rose to state the reasons why he
wished' the Committee to reject this plan. The
grounds un which he had to meet it had been
much removed by the statement of his Noble
Friend, that it was not intended as a permanent
measure. Looking at it then as a temporary mea-
sure, his main objection to it was the time at which
it was proposed to apply it. His Noble Friend had
truly stated, that as far as it could be made out,
it did appear that the supply of corn in the markets
in the early part of the present year was nearly
double what it was in former years; and he had
also stated as the reason why it was so. the ne-
cessity the farmers were under to provide her
the payment of rents that were doe; that they
were pressed by their landlords, and to keep,
their engagements, were obliged to thrash oat
their corn, and send it to market earlier than usual.
Taking that to be the case, it now appeared thlt
many of those farmers were now in the Markets, net.
as growers or sellers, but as purchasers of corn fie
their own support and that of their labourers and
poor. So that if any quantity were ,sow to be takes'
out of the markets, it must diminish the quantity
from which those small farmers had to draw their
supplies for themselves end their poor, aud• thus
they would rather aggravate the difficulty by
greatly increasing the distress of that class of
the farmers that was most distressed. Any man
who knew any thing of the matter, if asked who
were the farmers that were nut distressed, would tell,
the inquirer to look at the stockyard'', and there be
would find a sure criterion, for the opulent farmer,
would always contrive to keep his corn in the sirs
' as long as it suited his convenience to keep it out
the market. ‘Ve were with• respect to our C
Laws in an artificial state, which required muds

occasional revision. He should nut therefoile_.:
have objected to this measure on the ground tr.
its being a temporary expedient, if it appear
on its own particular grounds to be applica
to the case for which it was intended to pr..
wide. He requested those Hon. Members whose
feelings were so particularly alive to the interests of
dealers in corn. to look at what might have been
the effict of this measure if it had urea passed in
the last Session, and the market had been liable to
he operated upon by so large a sum as 1,000,0001.
He would ask his Noble Friend, whether, with his
vecoftection of the prices of corn in September, he
did net think it probable that the prices would have
been forced up above the prohibition price of 004.,
so sa to open the ports and let in a supply of foreigis
corn, which must have forced down the prices
in the subsequent quarter to a much wore
ruinous pitch than had yet occurred. On
the 9 h September the price of wheat was
555. ed., and oil the 29th it had risen to 70s. Bd.;
could any mail doubt that the operation of
1,000,0001. upon the markets in that state would
have raised the price to 80s. ad. and thus have
brought on what the farmers so much deprecated,
the opening of the ports?—([fear.)—He thought
the plan would be a great encouragement to specu-
lators who wanted to raise Money, and that it would
also operate mischievously iii the derangement of she
gradual adjustment that was now going on between
landlords and tenants, by escitiug delusive hopes and
Asroepects. It would be tither doing too little or too
mach. It would do nothing if prices did not rise
Ileserards the close of the year; End if they did
rise, it would be much better to let them alone.
The plan would only leave them with damaged curse
us hand, which would not be saleable when she
Dew corn came in, and with advances oat of hand
of 1,000,0001. which they mould not recover. tic
therefore decidedly opposed the motion.
Sir J. SEMI:111T said, the only good thing he
had heard in favour of the plan was, the asseriiiiii
that the farmers wished for it. But he believed
that nut to he she case, for he hail not heard any one
farmer speak of the plan, who was not convinced
that it would not operate to their advantage at all.
For Isis own part, he was perfectly convinced that et
was much better not to inn:treat with the markets
at all. •

n,
air J. nter.LET nppoged the plan, which he was
convinced would, if carried into effect, do * great
deal of harm.

Mr. ‘VfitToost said if there waa a glut in the
market, it vows better to let it work tt•ell' 01t
by the low prices. In his own case hr had been
obliged to take his curs' to market for fear of
its getting musty and unsaleable. Farmers were
always afraid .to keep their okl stock on hand when
the stew corn was coming in; and he was store it
must be the same with the merchants. lie did not
think the plain at all likely to relieve the farmers.
A MEMBER, whose name we could not Itsini,
offered a few ob•erratioas in support of the plan.
Mr. D. GILnEIT thought that under the opera..
tiou Of this plan tin good corn would be warehoused,
but only the bad, sod therefore he opposed the
motion.. .

Mr. Cairn 311,:o opposed the motion.

Mr. Wonatkouse ems gl his determination
net to leave-the Noble Marquis in the lurch, but
to give him his support on this occasions He had
supported the rocreare in the Committee, not on
general iftinciplcs, but as fitting in the singular exi-
gency in which we were placed. He could not
but agree with the Honourable Baronet (Sir
Edward Enatchbull) in expressing his astonish-
ment at the course adopted by the Right Honour.
able Gentleman (Mr. Huskisson). He seemed to
think the measure would fall heavily on the small
farmer; but in fact, the small farmers were those '
who bed experienced the least of Ilse pressure.
Mr. &SNICKS said, that on general principles he
was averse from the interference of Government In
the manner now proposed ; but Government ought
to be able to adapt its measures to the very peculiar
circumstancea in which the country was placed.
The Right Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Huskision) said,
that had the plan been adopted last year it 'would
have aggravated the state of the market, but he
(11r. Bankes) thought it would have hail a direct
contrary tendency. This was a smaller teinedy
than he should. have proposed. and also came rather
late, but as testifying the attention of the House
and Government he should support it.
The Marquis of Lonnoanzartv said, he was
obliged to his Hon. Friend the Member fur Norfolk
in voting for his own mersaare, itsorder not to leave
him (Lord Londonderry) in the lurch; but he
begged leave to say, that having brought forward
the motion in deference to the opinion of his Col-
leagues in the Committee, he felt that he had dose.
enough ; hr begged, therefore, the saddle might be;
;placed on the right horse.—(A laugh.)—He should
hare expected that the Hon. Member for Brunt*"
(Mr. Irving). whom lie understood to have been the
originator of the measure, would have sheen it'
a more parental support than he had. Hi
should think he had done his duty in -propos-
ing the measure, 'bot should not feel at'all ch.-
-posed to press it on the House.—(Hear, hear.)---
The reasoning he had heard on the subject cer-
tainly did not present any obstscle in his mind to
the proposition. It should he recollected the corn
could not he annihilated, end therefore could hive
no operation On the future harvests, ns by this mea-
sure it was 'merely the bringing to market that
would be regulated. It struck him that the mea-
sure would not be wholly inoperative, but if the
remaining Gentlemen of the Committee did not
raise their voices its support of it, he certainly
would ant divide the House upon it.
Mr. lama said, that it was the difficulty which
he felt in addressing the House that had prevented
him from before rising to urge the arguments
which struck his mind on the subject. He was not
ashamed to coofeas himself the proposer of the
measure which hid been scoffed at and ridiculed by
an Hon. and Learned Gentleman whom he had in
his eye. It would have been well if he had attended
his dory in that Committee as sedulously as he
(Mr: Irving) had. Though his avocations were as
pressing as those of the Hull. and Learned Gentle-
man, he had thought it his duty to attend, and make
such suggestions us his humble judgment enabled.
him—(Hear.)—He had tint proposed the measure
in total ignorance of the true.principleo of political
economy, but it was one of numerous expedients,
and was accepted by the Committee its the least
objectionable, and he did not therefore feel himself
more respotivible then any other Member of the'
Committee. The Hon. Member proceeded to
argue the practicability of the measure. He Mill
entertomed the opinion that it would afford relief,'
and that it could he carried into execution without*
difficulty. and that under the present circe(set.-
stances of the country, it was the duty of the Rouse,
to resort to it.
Mr. T. WILSON supported the measure. tie
thought it no argument to any that the relief came
too lair, us half the farmers were already ruined;
surely it was an object to save those which reinitiat-
ed. It was observed that the harvests generally ran
for a series of years either good or bad, and es it
was ackousrli-dgerl that we had had a aeries of good
harvests, we might reasonably look for a bad one, or
perhaps a succession 'of bad ousts; in which case
the present tneasure of storing curet whilst it was
plentiful, would operate most beneficially. ' The
sacrifice to be made wits very small, said though it
was good to eat cheap bread, yet if the price were .
run too low, the poor lands must be throws out of cola-
eation, 'tad the robieator ruined.
