No. 42 and duty
That whilst the agricultural produceof wheat, barley, oats,
and other grain, and oxen, sheep, goats, and other animals
are admittd dutyfree to compete with similar productions
of the United Kingdom, it is both impolitic and unjust to
the country, and to the agricultural interests especially to
continue duties of import on articles of foreign manufacture
of the same kind and class with those manufactured in the
United Kingdom, as by these protective duties on imports
the fair competition of foreign manufactured articles with
the articles of British manufacture is prevented. That this
house will, at an early period, take into its consideration
the duties that are strictly protective in the existing tariff
on articles of import into this country, both of manufac-
tures and agricultural produce, with the view of speedily
repealing the same, as affecting unfairly every interest in
the country."
The hon. member said he had all his life been opposed to
commercial as well as political monopolies. The princi-
ples of free trade he had advocated even before he became
a member of that house ; and he thought he might say, his
efforts in that direction had not been altogether without
advantage to the public, or in vain. (Hear.) With regard
to the import duties referred to in the last clause of his
resolution, the operation of most of them was to diminish
consumption, at the same time that benefit accrued neither
to the home producer nor the public revenue. Of late
years the revenue from this source had declined, and the
attempts to make up the deficiency by adding 5 per cent.
to the Customs and Excise, had proved but a sorry expe-
dient. Having enumerated some of the anomalies and in:
congruities still existing in the tariff, the hon. member
said, all he asked the house to do now was to carry out
free trade, and remove the remaining protective duties.
Already protection had been taken off the produce of the
land, and immense quantities of agricultural produce were
brought in from all parts of the world. Yet notwithstand-
ing the predictions that the importations of cattle, sheep,
swine, and other articles, would utterly ruin the country,
the prices of all these commodities were higher now than
they were before the free trade system was adopted as the
law of the land. What was more, they hail the satisfaction
of witnessing the greatest contentment pervading the mass
the people—a sure evidence of an ample supply of food and
constant employment. The impulse which had of late been
given to the cotton manufacture and the glass manufacture by
the removal, in the case of the former, of the Customs duties,
and in the case of the latter of the Excise duties, was an il-
lustration of the wisdom of the policy he now recommended.
Another item was the leather manufactures. There was a
duty on these of 9,1401., and he hoped that„ us the benefit to
the revenue was so trifling, and the benefit to the poor so
great, it would be repealed. There was still another item
—the linen manufacture. This only broue let- in 4,670/. ;
while this country exported 122,000,000 yards of yarn and
18,500,000 of twist, at a value of over 4,000,0001. sterling.
Of silk there was exported from this country 1,255,000
yards. There was a duty on wool of 13,000i'.-5 per cent.
ad valorem—while England was exporting woollen cloths to
the amount of 13,000,0001. sterling. Why should there be
any fear on this score ? He (Mr. H.) therefore hoped the.
Chancellor of the Exchequer would not hesitate to take off
every semblance of protection to British manufacturers—
they wanted nofie of it. (Hear.) The next' schedule was
articles of agricultural produce. He thought the whole of
this should be admitted as freely as corn.' The duty on
butter was 58,000/. ; that on cheese, 85,000 q. Then came
seeds —rape, carraway, carrot, clover,mustard—all of which
had a duty varying from 2s. 6d. to ss. the bushel. He did
not see why the land should not have the seed free as well
as the produce. As regarded tallow, which brought
78,0001., this country was under changed circumstances, as
formerly that commodity came from Russia,. whereas now
the Australian colonies would furnish it. The export of
soap from this country amounted to 1,290,0001 b. ; but it
would be greater if tallow was free. He would show the
Chancellor of the Exchequer how these reductions could be
afforded. Concluding from what had taken. place, all re-
ductions on the principles of free trade would increase the
revenue by increasing the prosperity of the country.
[The honourable gentleman then entered into elaborate
statements to prove that previous reductioue of duty had
not injured but increased the revenue.] This was shown
fully in the case of sugar, coffee, and brandy. It would
be the same as regarded the articles In-educing the
1,300,030/. in question ; while the comforts of the people
would be greatly augmented. The manufacturer paid
from 7 to 10 per cent, on wrapping-paper for articles of
tinware and cutlery ; the reduction of that duty would
be an immense boon. The excise duty on soap was
another tax that should be taken off. In 1821 there were
93,000,000 pounds of soap manufactured on an excise
duty of 3d. per pound ; that duty was reduced, and the
manufacture had risen in_ 1851 to 197,500,000 pounds.
The revenue had not mitered either. He, therefore,
called on the right hon. gentleman to remove this tax
in the interest of the manufacturer. He asked the house,
therefore, to affirm his propositions. If there was to be
free trade, it should be fully and fairly carried out. (Hear.)
He considered that the agricultural interest had been badly
t: eased, inasmrdh as these duties ought to have been re-
moved simultaneously with the tax on corn. (Hear.)
The effect of this reduction would be to sow the seed of
increased consumption, and therefore of increased produc-
tion. The farmer was a manufacturer as much as any other
manufacturer; and it was his interest to have a fair scale
of prices for food. At present the average of England in
point of price was the average of Europe ; and he hoped
the Chancellor of the Exchequer would not refuse to do
justice to the agriculturist by carrying out free trade to its
fullest extent in every particular. With that view he pro-
posed his resolution, intending to take the sense of the
house only on the last clause.
Mr. MITCHELL seconded the motion.
Colonel SIBTHORP said that old birds were not to
be caught with chaff. (A laugh.) He had listened atten-
tively to the hon. member for Montrose, and was not in-
clined to trust an enemy in the camp. The hon. member
had remarked in, as he thought, a rather low tone of voice,
"I am a Freetrader." Now, he (Colonel Sibthorp) would
more distinctly and more openly say, he was no Free-
trader ; and then the hon. member, now for the first time
since he had had the honour of his acquaintance, talked
about the injury done to the farmer; he thought that when
you had almost killed a man and cut him up it was too late to
call in a physician. (Laughter.) The British farmer would
have none of the hon. member's black draughts, becausethey were nothing more than poison—most deadly poison.
He had no doubt the hon. member remembered the fable of
the wolf and the lamb. Now, the hon. member might
be the wolf, but he (Colonel Sibthorp) was not going to be
the lamb. He was not to be caught by bolding out
this sort of bait. It would not do. (A laugh) He
knew the Chancellor of the Exchequer was rather a
Freetrader, but he did not believe he would agree to this
motion. It was a " cross"—(a laugh)—something thrown
out to catch unwary fish ; but he was not one of that class
—(a laugh)—and would not swallow the bait of the hon.
member for Montrose. He would trust him with his purse
in private life, but he would not trust him in public, and
he should certainly oppose the present motion.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER felt grateful
to the gallant colonel for the not unfavourable anticipa-
tions he had expressed as to him. In 1843 the gallant
colonel had exercised his powers of humour upon himself
when he had introduced a bill to legalise the exportation of
machinery. The gallant colonel had then said, " I object
to the exportation of machinery, but I should not object to
the exportation of the President of the Board of Trade."
(Laughter.) Both the gallant colonel and himself retained
the opinions they had then held ; and he feared, however
they might agree—ho hoped they often might—on ques-
tions of general policy, on commercial subjects they would
continue to differ. (Hear.) In referenceto the question
addressed to him on a former occasion, he had understood
it to allude to the constitution of the Board of Customs, as
to which he was not prepared to state that a bill would be,
introduced ; but on the general question there had been no
inquiry and no answer. With respect to the motion before
the house, the hon. member (Mr. Hume) had asked him
only to assent to 'the principle ; but he objected to its prim-
tiotnial doctrine,exPe'dt 'jar: .<l.

the practica of

especially as to the
•
wisdom of removing protective duties. The question as to
ere 213 ar-
minor duties, however, was different. There w

Mr. EWART spoke of the importance of our commerce
with France, and the benefits to be derived from the re-
moval of every barrier to its development—however slight.
He gave his support to the motion.
Mr. T. PARKER expressed similar views.
Mr. BRIGHT made some explanations in reference to
Manchester and the silk trade, adverted to by Mr. Newde-
gate, with whom he differed entirely. •
Mr. DISRAELI said, before the house came to a vote
upon the question, he wished to make some observations.
It was his opinion that the cultivators of the soil of this
country were subjected to an undue *eight of taxation.
(Cheers from the opposition.) The late Government enter-
taining that opinion, had considered the whole system of
taxation, with a view to affording a remedy to injustice, or
at least to that which they conceived to be injustice. It
was their opinion that that remedy was best to be found,
not by taking a limited and partial view, or by looking to
the immediatiate interests of any class, but rather by con-
sidering the principles upon which our general system of
taxation were founded. They arrived at the conclusion
that they would best benefit the producer by consulting
the interests of the consumer. Adopting that opinion, and
considering the whole system of our taxation, they thought
it their duty to propose certain measures to the house (and
he was the 'organ of the Government upon that occasion),
which the house did not think proper to sanction. It was
not true that those measures were recommended to the
adoption of the house as a new commercial system. They
were distinctly described to the House of Commons as only
a first step. Other steps, and as important ones, were ex-
pressed or intended. They knew that to induce the house
and the country to adopt the policy which they wished
them to adopt, it was necessary to make, apparently, some
sacrifice. Nothing in this country, nothing in this world,
that was great could be achieved without making some sa-
crifice. (Hear, hear.) But they were convinced that in
time there would be such a general sentiment among this
great community that the principles upon which the finan-
cial policy of the late Government had been recommended
to the House of Commons were sound and beneficial, that
they looked with confidence to the consequences of that
policy, if it should have been adopted. (Hear, hear.) The
House of Commons did not think it proper to adopt that
policy. The late Government had shown the sincerity of
their conduct, he hoped, by what had taken place after that
vote. They relinquished power—he would not say without
a pang—but because they were of opinion that power was
useless unless it were exercised with the fair and generous
confidence of the House of Commons. (Cheers.) He con-
.siderecl, at least as far as he was concerned, that vote of
the House of Commons upon the financial policy recom-
mended by the Government of which he was the organ to
be conclusive. He had not less confidence in the princi-
ples which he had recommended, or the policy which he
had hoped the house might adopt ; but as far as he was in-
dividually concerned, he had no wish to intrude those opi-
nions upon an assembly which he had in so formal a man-
ner resolved not to adopt the policy which he had recom-
mended. (Hear, hear.) Well, then, he was equally
undesirous of inventing occasions to harass those who had
succeeded them in office with opinions upon financial
questions. That, he thought, those with whom he had the
honour and happiness to act showed the other night, when
the hon. member for Montrose offered to the consideration
of the house a motion which they might -very consistently
have supported, and which, if carried, might have very
much embarrassed the Government, but which., especially
-h
as they had been accused of political faction, e was not
willing in any way to sanction. (Hear, hear.) But here
was an occasion on which he was called onto give an opinion
upon a subject of the greatest importance as concerned the
principle of our fiscal system, and especially as it affected
those of their constituents whom they thought to be un-
justly treated, and for whose interests they were bound to
act. The right hon. gentleman the Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer had found one great fault with the motion of the
hon. member for Montrose. The right hon. gentleman
said, that what this practical country required, and what
that practical assembly ought to accomplish, was perfor-
mance, not promise. Here was a proposition which he
would now recall to the recollection of the house in its
precise language, and which the Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer very probably described as a promise. What
was the resolution of the honourable member for Montrose ?
"That this house will, at an early period, take into
.s consideration the duties that aro strictly protective
ai the existing tariff on articles of import into this
country, both of manfactures and agricultural produce,
with the view of speedily repealing the same, as affecting
unfairly every interest in the country." Now, before he
made a momentary comment upon that resolution, let him
see how the charge of a "promise" was supported by the
Chancellor of the Exchequer. It was no doubt holding
out a policy, and they had to consider, first, was the policy
a sound policy ; and, if so, was it politic at this moment to
hold out a promise of it. If the Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer had said, " There is a motion which, if carried
into practical effect, will materially influence the revenue
of the country ; I am the guardian of the exchequer of the
country, and I will • not enter into any argument, but I
appeal •to the confidence of the house to guard me from
these attacks upon the exchequer ; I give no opinion, I
do not think it is my duty to give an opinion, upon the
policy that is recommended ; but I say at once that I will
enter into no discussion, and I call upon the house to enter
into none upon this policy, and this promise of a policy,"
if he had done that, he could have understood the position
of the right hon. gentleman, and it might have been the
duty of every man in that house to support him. But
what was the conduct of the Chancellor of the Exchequer?
Denouncing the course of the hon member for Montrose as
merely a promise, as that most dangerous course in Parli-
mentary conduct, according to him, a promise and not a
performance, the Chancellor of the Exchequer rose and
made a speech which was one long promise from beginning
to end. (Cheers.) The Chancellor of the Exchequer had
been promising what the Government would do with
respect to this particular question' under circumstances,
and upon an occasion, which they had pros iously agreed
upon. Then the whole question of policy was opened by
the Chancellor of the Exchequer. They had not, therefore,
to consider the motion of the honourable member for
Montrose with respect to its convenience or inconvenience
to the Treasury, which was the position in which
the Chancellor of the Exchequer should have placed
it ; but they were to consider the question as one of
policy, and of policy alone. (Hear, hear.) Well, he
approved of the policy of the honourable member for
Montrose. (Cheers.) If the pelicy which the late Govern-
ment had recommended the house to adopt, and which the
house rejected—a policy which some day or other would
be recognised as one beneficial to the community and ad-
vantageous to property, because it considered the interests
of industry in their proper sense—if that policy were not
to be pursued, he must look to the other means which ex-
isted for removing that injustice from the cultivators of
the soil in this country to which he believed they were sub-
jected. (Cheers from the Opposition.) His hon. friend the
member for North Warwickshire, who was not, he thought,
liable to those depreciating observations which had been
, made with respect to him by the hon. member for Manches-
ter, but who, upon this and upon all occasions, had shown
an admirable consistency, great talent, and unwearying
powers of research, had said that this was a bad bargain
for the agriculturists. He said, "Remove these quasi pro-
tective duties of the tariff, and the duty on the import of
foreign Manufactures is only reduced by the amount of
434A01., while the duty on the import of foreign agicul-
tural produce will be reduced by double that amount. He
said, with great respect to his hon. friend, the member for
North Warwickshire, that the question of industry in this
country had gone far beyond considerations either of
400,0001. or 900,0001. After the immense revolution which
had been carried into operation, we could not cling to the
rags and tatters of the Protectionist system. (Cheers.) He
saw that the agricultural classes were obliged to pay on arti-
cles which they wished to use a considerable duty, and they
could not be told in answer to that grievance that the Go-
vernment levied a small revenue from foreign agricultural
produce. (Hear.) But he denied—if they could condescend
to enter into these particulars—he denied that any of those
duties levied on foreign agricultural produce wore really in
the language of the motion, of a protective character.
They were not " strictly protective," nor protective at
all. (Hear, hear.) He would not enter into the question
now whether the duties levied on foreign manufactured
articles were protective, and " strictly protective." He
believed they wore—(cheers)—and he protested, after
the vote of Parliament had come to on this subject—after
the verdict of the last general election—he protested against
the cultivators of the soil being subjected to any duties—
either protective or " strictly protective." (Hear, hear.)

AWFULLY SUDDEN DEATH OF A GENTLEMAN.—Yes-
terday Mr. Brent held an inquest at the Dolphin, Ton-
bridge-street, New-road, on Mr. John Luxton, aged 69,
for many years connected with the Clerical and Medical
Life Insurance Office, Bloomsbury. Deceased returned
home in his usual health and spirits, on Friday evening,
from the office. Soon afterwards he went into the yard,
whence his groans were heard, and upon Mrs. Luxton
going thither, she found her husband insensible and
speechless on the ground. She had him instantly con-
voyed into the house, and medical assistance sent for,
but notwithstanding every effort to save life, he expired
within two hours, from, as the post-mortem examination
proved, apoplexy. Verdict accordingly.
SOCIETY OF ARTS.—At the weekly meeting of this
society last evening (Mi. C. W. Dilke in the chair), a
highly interesting paper, on the management of ships'
boats and on the loss of life at sea (written by Mr.
Sterling Lacon), was read by the secretary, Mr. Solly.
After alluding to the recent melancholy loss of the
Amazon, the writer observed that the supply of boats on
board ships was generally insufficient. The present
mode of lowering boats into' the water he 'showed to be
contrary to all the principles of mechanical science—so
much so, that instead of an accident being the exception,
it might almost be looked upon as the rule. After re-
ferring to the wrecks of the Orion, the Pegasus, the
Solway, and other vessels, the writer pointed out a
method of obviating the danger arising from the present
mode of lowering boats, by the use of ropes or chains
arranged in such a manner round a windlass as to unship
themselves when the boat reached the water. Several
models were exhibited to illustrate the mode of action'.
At the close an interesting conversation ensued, in
which considerable diversity of opinion was expressed.
POLICE FOR ACEITHALIA.—It was stated yesterday in
the vicinity of Scotland-yard, that, in consequences of
dispatches that Government had received from Australia,
it is the intention of Lord Palmerston, her Majesty's
Secretary of State for the Home Department, to send
out in the course of this month another division of
police to Port Philip and Melbourne, consisting of 150
picked men, volunteers from the different divisions of
the metropolitan police force.

DREADFUL SUICIDE AND ATTEMPT AT MURDER.—A
most painful state of excitement has been produced in
Canterbury, in consequence of .a man, named George
Worsley, a millwright by trade, having made an attempt
upon the life of his wife, and then committing suicide by
cutting his throat nearly from ear to ear. It appears
from what we have been Ale to learn that the deceased
has evinced a slight aberration of mind for some days
past, but that he retired to rest with his wife on Sunday
evening apparently much better than he had been.
Nothing particular occurred until shortly after five
o'clock yesterday morning, when the - wife of the un-
fortunate man was awoke by his attempting to cut her
throat with a razor ; she immediately cried out, "Oh;
dear George, what are you doing of ;" and, rushing out
of the room, ran to the house of a neighbour of the
name of Nott, the blood at the same time streaming
profusely from the extensive gash made in her neck.
Assistance was soon procured, when, upon proceeding
to, the bed-room, a dreadful scene presented itself ; the
man was lying a corpse surrounded by his own blood,
having nearly severed his head from his body.
