PRO TESTO F LII3ERAJ, PE-6"
AGAINST THE CORN BILL OF 1815.
The Dublin Evening Post has republished the protes"
of the Lords who dissented from the Corn Bill of 1815;
To this documcw, will be found attached the ns.nies ,
Grenville and Wellesley, accompanied by that of Chan'
dos Buckingham, the father of the present Duke :.
" 1. Because we are adverse in principle to all n
straints on commerce. We think it certain that pve
prosperity is best promoted by leaving uncontrolled theher
free current of national industry ; and we wish, Yut ..1
by
.well-considered steps, to bring back our cowl:aerie!:
legislation to the straight and simple line of wisdom, t°7
to increase the deviation, by subjecting additioral
extensive branches of the public interest to fresh Oste'
of artificial and injurious restriction.

"2. Because we think that the great practical ri(11
leaving all commerce unfettered, applies more peculof
and on still stronger grounds of justice, as well1:1
policy, to the corn trade, than to any other. Irre:zistl;g
indeed, must be the necessity which could, in our Pu:
ment, authorise the Legislature to tamper with the te
tenance of the people, and to impede the flee purell f
and sale of that article on which depends the existenoe°
so large a portion of the community.

operate. Its present protection. its promised extensic:ich

it creates by keeping up the price of corn to an
level. These future benefits are the consequences e
