SUPPLY.
Motion made, and question proposed, 4, That the Order, of
the Day for the Committee of Supply be now read
Amendment proposed, to leave out from the word ~ That" to
the end of the question, in order to add the words " the taxes
imposed on the necessaries of life in this country, render them
so dear that the working people cannot command a sufficiency
to supply their daily wants ; that the taxes imposed on raw
material are an obstruction to the productive industry of the
country; and that the inability of the people to purchase a suf-
ficiency of the things which their labour would produce, acts
injuriously upon those who employ the people, and compel'
them, from want of a market at remunerating prices, to limit
the employment of many, and refuse employment altogether to
others, who are anxious to earn their bread by the boor of
their hands, and who from being denied employment, are com-
pelled to accept relief from the parish in any way that they Can
obtain it, or starve : That such a state of things is detrimental
to the pi oductive classes, and dangerous to all other classes:
That, according to a Return ordered to be printed by this
House on the 10th day of June last, the taxes raised by Excise
and Customs on the following articles amounted, in the year
ending the sth day of January, 1839, to the sum of 17,614,543/. ;
viz., on malt, 4,932,080/. ; hops, 302.906/. ; soap, 810,813/. ;
candles and tallow, 183,669/. ; sugar and molasses, 4,893,684/. ;
tea, 3,362,035/. ; coffee, 684,979/. ; butter, 251,6651. ; cheese,
113,907/. ; currants and raisins, 300,828/. ; corn, 186,7601' ;
cotton wool and sheep's, imported, 725,445/. ; silk, 254,874/. ;
hides and skins, 61,478/. ; and on paper, 541,7881.: That
justice, sound policy, and humanity require that the laws jai'
posing these taxes should be repealed, the Corn-laws abolished,
and that the revenue should in future be raised by an equitable
assessment on property," instead thereof (Mr. John Fielden)--;
Question put, "That the words proposed to be left out stand
part of the question !" The House divided—.
