Government had deliberately made up their naiads
to it.

Mr. Gooctt said st rest words to justity his con-
duct as Chsirman of the Committee.

Mr. J. BIINBIT stated the reasons why he
thou: ht higher protecting duties necessary to shut
out loreign corn altogether.

The Marquis of LOSIDONDISRY explained.
Mr. locteissor warmly expreseed his &prise
that Ministe.s should endeavour to shrink from the I
ream/ability of those measures which Iliev bed so
repeatedly recommended, and leave the House in
a dare of painful uncertainty es to their own views
or those of the Committee.
(The Marquis of LONDONDERRY said, items
the table, that he would move the Reiolutitur rte
the Committee.]
Mr. ATWOOD commeuted on the distracted end
various opinions entertained sod urged by those
who had promised to submit propo4tions to the
Committee, and the inconclusive, inconsistent, and
inadequate projects of the Government to remedy
the present cede. He reasoned against the great
absurdity of hoping to cure evils of such a 'magni-
tude by remedies so weak sort ill suited to the
complaint. He ridiculed the cause* assigned fur
the distress in the monstrous fertility of the lend
and the disastrous abuedalice of the produce. He
contrasted these reasons with the policy winch the
House had always up to this time acted upon, of 1
miens* the greatest encouragement to agriculture!
improvement. He pointed out the Weey of sup-
posing that Ireland was over preductive, when on
the other hand it was represented that the people
were perishing from want. He traced all the min.
chief to that monstrous attempt made under the
Act of 1819, to force the payment of public atsd
private debts and charges iii a'atandard of currency
in which it would, have been at any time imporsible
to have imposed, them. The Hon. Member then
adverted to the circulation of the country. and con.
tended that teitatiori had been raised tine* the period
when agriculture was in a flournhing condition, iii
the same proportion es the use in value in the cur-
rency. But neither the Hun. Member for Porter..
lingtoo (Mr. Ricardo), nor any other pence), bad
stated the reasoit why gold was it better criterion to
regulate the cusreory than any other oommorlity.
The question then "a,, to what commodity would
they resort ? Wet:intended that when the question
was how far taxes tamed agriculture, cunt and
cattle were as good a commodity as gold to form a
standard, Now if taxation bed been iacre.s-
ing in proportion as the currency wee int:related
in value, whet trecame of the argument that taxes
did not cause the pressure upon agriculture, Dur-
ii.g the last eight years the HORSE of Commons had
been employed in reforming the currency, and
what was the result of that process ? They found
that the taxes were doubled, and yet at the present
time they 'etc found discussing what wee the na-
ture of taxiiiion, and whether it affected those by
whom the taxes were paid. %Vivid was the effect of
the alteration of the currency up°n that east body
of people. the tenantry of the country ? It was to
give over their property to the landlords, who were
themielves compelled to surrender a great proper.
lien of their property to either the public or privets
credit's?. He therefore begged the House to have
recants, to the lights of experience, and to consider
well the operation of whatever measures were pror
posed. He considered that to hold out to the age,
cultusists that under a metallic currency they re.
ceived the same pnees as while paper was is circa*
lotion, was a most gross and drfeuceless

Mr. Rtcsttoo said he found it necessary to make
a few observations in reply to whet had fallen from
the Hon. Gentlemen who had just sat ,town; for,
although he had heard his steecn with great saris,
ruction, yet he hod fallen into a great many errors.
He had spoken of him us if he hod .been the
framer and supporter of the fatal oureericy of
which he complaitied—u if he hall met always
pointed out the dauger arising from • reclaatiii
currency. when there was no fixed guide, .p 4
perpetually liable to be increased qr diusinis
at the caprice d the Bank Directors. The Hon,
Gentleman seemed to have founded his argument
upon • passage in a pamphlet which he (Mr. R.)
wrote, on the subject of remunerating prices. and
ou the doStrines contained in that psesage he etas
willing to rest the argument. The Hon. Gentleman
had spokes of him as if he had been respoosible for
the alteration in the currency. r,„. the House
should remember the situation is, w -eh the country
was placed at the' lime. It was undoubtedly true that
there was a greater depreeiaiiiiii for some time pre,
riuus to 1819 than at that rionneilt. The Hun. Genie
bud asked why gold should be the standaid pe
mule than corii. The reason W4ll, that it bin, ;I.
ways been the standard or this country. Hese&
milted that if the 801 l of 1797 had not'',
they would have had always a metallic esseteoey;
but that would not prevent a variation. Aud did
the How Gentleman really mesa to conirnd ;bat
corn would be a better standard than gold ? Then
the Bank, instead of paying gold, would be
obliged to give as malty (Oar WS of corn for
attar notes. The Hon. Gentlemen reemediu argue
ar if he (Mr. Ricardo) hot said that trtes cowed
ne part of the distress. But ibe HUUfe would re-
collect whether he did nut always maiiitaiii that
every sixpence taken uut of the pockets of the
people by the Governmeot, pressed upou them to
tied amount. Wirer lie had stated was thiss and to
this he would adhere, that the time were not the
sole cause, and that they were quite inadequate to
account for the pressure upon agriculture. There
was one point more to which he wished to oilier',
