PRICE sd.

rived from the exclusion of foreign rival manufacturers,

so neither is the competition of continental manufactu-
rers to be traced to a protective system. They are told
that the most vigorous and successful of the manufac-
tures on the Continent have grown, not out of peculiar
favour shown to them by legislation, but from those
natural and spontaneous advantages ' which are asso-
ciated w,th labour and captital in certain localities,
and which cannot be traesferred elsewhere at the man-
date of the Legislature, or at the will of the manufac-
turer. 'Your Committee see reason to believe, that
the most prosperous fabrics are those which flourish
without the aid of special favours. It has been stated
to your Committee that the Legislation of Great Bri-
tain, whenever it is hostile to the introduction of
foreign commodities, is invariably urged by the foreign
States that produce such commodities, as a ground and
a sanction for laws being passed by them hostile to the
introduction of products of British industry ; and while,
on the one hand, there is reason to believe that the

liberalising the tariffs of Great Britain would lead to
similar favourable changes in the tariffs of other nations,
so it is seriously to be apprehended that a persistance
in our illiberal and exclusive policy will bring with it
increased imposts on, if not prohibitions against, the
products of British labour being admitted to other
countries.
With reference to the influence of the protective sys-
tem upon wages, and on the condition of the labourer,
your Committee have to observe, that as the pressure of
foreign competition is heaviest on those articles in the
producticn of which the rate of wages is lowest, so it is
obvious, in a country exporting so largely as England
does, that other advantages may mere than compen-
sate for an apparent advantage ia, the, money price of
labour. The countries:ineivitich the rate of wages is
lowest are not always those which manufacture most
successfully ; and your Committee are persuaded that
the best service that could be rendered to the indus-
trious classes of the community, would be to extend the
field of labour, and of demand for labour, by an exten-
sion of our commerce ; and that the supplanting the
present system of protection and prohibition, by a mo-
derate tariff, would encourage and multiply most bene-
ficially for the State and for the people our commercial
transactions.

Your Committee further recommend, that as speedily
as possible the whole system of differential duties and of
all restrictions should be reconsidered, and that a change
therein be effected in such a manner that existing in-
terests may suffer as little as possible in the transition to
a more liberal and equitable state of things. Y our Com-
mittee is persuaded that the difficulties of modifying the
discriminating duties which favour the introduction of
British colonial articles would be very much abated, if
the colonies were themselves allowed the benefits of free
trade with all the world.
Although, owing to the period of the Session at
which the inquiry was begun, your Committee have
not been able to embrace all the several branches which
come within the scope of their instructions, they have
thought themselves warranted in reporting their strong
conviction of the necessity of an immediate change in
the import duties of the kingchm ; and should Parlia-
ment sanction the siews which your Committee enter-
tain on these most important matters, they are per-
suaded that by imposts on a small number of those
articles which are now most productive, the amount of
each impost being carefully considered with a view to
the greatest consumption of the article, and thereby
the greatest receipt to the Customs, no loss would
occur to the revenue, but, on the contrary, a consider-
able augmentation might be confidently anticipated.
The simplification they recommend would not only
vastly facilitate the transactions of commerce, and
thereby benefit the revenue, but would at the same
time greatly diminish the cost of collection. remove
multitudinous sources of complaint and vexation, and
give an example to the world at large, which, emanating
from a community distinguished above all others for
its capital, its enterprise, its intelligence, and the extent
of its trading relations could not but produce the hap-
piest effects ; and consolidate the great interests of
peace and commerce by associating them intimately
and permanently with the prosperity of the whole
family of nations.
