told that certain paperinakers, newspaper proprietors,
or publiel ppers were oosed to th, s repeal of these taxes
on the ground of vested inter eat, that would be no
answer to the motion. Neither could he permit this to
be treatecras a party question. ‘ Riben his proposal was
submitted to Parliament, two ye tt rs ago, it was sup-
ported by gentlemen of all pc drtieal views. It was
supported by no less there four distinguished
membera of her Majesty's presea t Government. His
first motion had reference to the repeal of the paper
duties. He did not propose askir I ; Members to agree
to a large reduction of taxation, and he had put his
motions separately in order the 1 Members might, on
supporting one, not necessarily 1
pledge themselves to
the principle of the others. With regard to
the first motion, he only asked the House
to agree to the recommendetir agresolutions
