ENCOURAGRIIRNT OF INDINTRY, AND CON-
SEQUENT REDUCTION OF POOR'S RATES.

II iv hoped that the attention of the Legislatnre will be
attracted to the impolitic duty of five shillings a thousand
itupoped moon draining Bricks; as plus duty is paid in ail
vas ly stage of the process of making, it is levied equally
upon those which are spoiled, an upon those which prove
lit for nee. This tax is therefore a greater obits tictioni
to the progress of agricultural improvement, *bail a person
would suppose, joiolximt alone frJon the rate of its
wrist ; moreover, Hisses most be more frequent if the Bricks
are tuanufactotred snithout the usual buildwK., and under the
anperintendence of its inoltvioluiil only wantiiii a supply for
bus owes porpusesof ass if the lonsitiess is conducted upon au
estensivr professedly oi th a Clew to sale. Boit where
Demi:Mug Tiles ale toot willoilo a teasiniable olostatiee, it is
considered desirable that cads proprietor should burn 111/4.11
Ili. own premises as many Ors ~, ill c Bricks sa are required
for his estate : by adopting this method, the expense of est.-
I lace (a must matt rial-eonsidermion) will he avoided, and
white ;moor rates will be reduced, and happiness diffused
amongst the lower milers by omplos Mg theta iii making
Bricks, and in leud•draining, the value of property will be
greatly augmented by the improvement.
It would also appear to have boom nn uv►rwight in the levy-
ing a duty upon Draining Briche,..iner Druteasp Titer are
exempt from I:Illy suit of their utility fur agricultural
drainage—the ■.uue eillSUlli whirl, are urged iu favour of
exempting Draining Tiles t duty, are equally applicable
to Drawing Bricks; and, RN the staking the latter requires
less skill, mid no Isailolings, the work may be resorted to as
an employment fur the Poor in any part of the conntry
wlwre clay is to lie tumid, and literature et the more entitled
to the exemption.
