GENTLEMEN,
IC/ EirslG blessed by Divine Providence -with
JLP the enjoyment of perfect health, I once more propose
myself to you to become one of your representrives. Ihe ex-
pected dissolution being avowedly to ascertain the opinion of
the country- upon three questions lately submitted to the
House of Commons, it may ju,tly be expected that I should
state to you my views upon them. As to the Corn ques-
tion, it seems to be - generally admitted, that under
the peculiar circumstances of this country, protection
to ' a certain extent may -.fairly be eaimed for the
agricUltural interest ; and, on the other hand, all.
reasonable and cat:did men agree that it is essential to the
welfare of the commercial and manufacturing interests that
restriction upon the importation of corn should not be carried
beyond what is absolutely necessary. • It is the opinion of many
persons, whom I believe to be the most competent to form a
correct judgment upon the subject, that a fixed duty is (having
regard to the real interests of a'l parties) preferable to the
present system. And, urn mature consideration. sueh is the
opinion 1 have formed ; and ,should you do me the honour of
returning me to Parliament my object will be to obtain.
a set lenient of the questirm upon terms fair and just to-
wards all. As to the Sugar question, I paid the utmost at-
tention to the long,- discussion which lately took place upon it,
and I heard no argument to satisfy me-that it was not both the
right and the interest of the people of this country to have
sugar supplitctto them at a cheap and reasonable price, which
it is notorious to all was not the case during the last year. I
do no: believe that the doing away with the present sugar
monopoly in •the English market would increase slavery, to
which, durrng my whole life, I have been unifortnly opposed.
The remaining question is as to the Timber Duties ; it has not,
as yet, been discuSsed, but it certainly will, require cogent
arguments to satisfy me that the British public are not entitled
to the best. timber at the cheapest possible price.
If you elect me, for the fifteenth time. one of your repre-
sentatives, I shall continue diligently to attend to my ditties in
the same manner which I have hitherto done, and in which I
believe I may challenge comparison with those Members of
the House who are most constant in their performance of the
services required at their hands,
I am, G,ntlenien, your obedient and faithful servant,
G. EYING.
