GENERAL ASSOCIATION OF T' SILK TRADE.

.HE.
11HE Deputation appointed to confer with the Right
Honourable the Chancellor of the Exchequer upon the pro.
posed .11teration of the Silk Manufacture, desirous to allay the
anxiety of the Trade throughout the country,. report that they, this
day, had an interview, and stated the opinion of the trade, as
follows (
`• We cannot, in the present circumstances of the Silk Trade,
nor in any 'lteration that will follow immediately on the remission
of duty, admit the possibility of introducing foreign wrought silks
for home consumption.
" We are firmly persuaded, that it will require the experience of
years (in our opinion many years) of what may be the effect of the
repeal of duty, and the removal of all restrictions from labour
and capital, with the introduction of considerable improvement in
the machinery employed in this manufacture, before any safe prac-
tical opinion can be given on this momentous question. We sub.
mit, that under the factitious system on which this moot'.'
facture has been conducted in this country, its various interests and
establishments have become so complicated, and so dependent on
prohibition and protection, that return to the principles of poll.
tical economy of the present day (however just in the abstract), IN
to this manufacture, matter of great practical difficulty, and ha.
zardous in the experiment.
" We implore the Government and the Legislature to consider,
that under the existing system of prohibition, a very large capital
has been embarked, on the molt yment of which a very numerous
population has been taught to depend for subsistence; and that in
this question the security of the former, and the subsistence of the
huer, is i.tvolved.

" We entreat his Majesty's Government to admit the question of
retni;tiag the duty on sick, to stand entirely unconnected with any
alteration in the rrohibition that the silk trade now enjoys ; as
we do not hesitate to declare, that though this remission of duty,
under judicious regulation, would be a boon to the trade, giving to
all its departments increased activity and strength, vet, were the
remission coupled with any determination to infringe on the pro.
Libitory system, now, or at any time, which could be at present
determined upon, it would be regarded by all duxes of the trade as
a grievous calamity."
Atter a patient hearing, his Majesty's Government declared that
they will not separate duty from prohibition, and that the represen-
tations of the Deputation shall have immediate attention.
