-the .Honourable the COMMONS of the
UNITED KINGDOM of GREAT BRITAIN and IRELAND,
'a Parliament assembled, • .
The PETITION of the Undersigned INHABITANTS of BRITISH
GUIANA, interested in the staple Products of SUGAR, Mt -
LASSES, RUM, &c., "produeed in said Colony,
That
Showeth :
-mat the Agricultural-and Commercial Distress which arose in thief
Colonylt at-the time of the Emancipation.in 1838, still continues to be
—ell' felt, andthat, although a very large sum of money has been
Ttiended by this Colony in procuring Free Labourers from India,
ti,7le-a, and Madeira; little or no appreciable effect has yet been pro-
geed on the price or efficiency of labour.
tz That this distress is, at the present time, much aggravated by an
ee&atal cause, namely, that the unusually severe rains that oc-
ed in the early pieta; 1845 were followed by a season of unpre-
tiltnted intensity and duration of drought, whereby the sugar crop
t" Present year has been so diminished that the exports of 1846
exiseeted to fall one-third short of those of the preceding year.
, That, at a time when the affairs of the Colony are but commencing
the from the effects of the crisis of 1838, the recent changes in
10,Sugar Duties, and the removal of the protection which free-la-
it7' sugar enjoyed, threaten to produce a second crieis, which can-
Parthat your Petitioners are glacl to find so full a recognition, on the
abi:,, ilOf the Government and of so many Members of your Honour-
no,",ouse, of the necessity of removing such disabilities and restric-
pm' as still continue to fetter the West India Interest, and which
ve Peculiarly irksome in its present depressed and critical circum-
,.,_
ei • _
Your Petitioners co that, in the rin-
-4 "I'4 "
Which guided the Legislature in theco recentnsistenc fisy cal with
enactmepnts,
ran,tlealarly in admitting raw aterial duty free, they are
Molasses into
to expect the free admissions of British Plantation Sugar and
'''asses into the Breweries and Distilleries of Great Britain.
t, notwithstanding the admission of the principle that " Rum
;4733ritish Spirits should be placed on a precise equality in the home
lenkts," the differential duty of is. now levied is unjust to the Co••
the ea : inasmuch as the statements of British Distillers relied on by
ey,.."eglsilature, when that duty was imposed, have been shown to be
disr-rated, and to be-more than counterbalanced by the peculiar
,_ nes affecting the-West India Distillers.
ti,that every encouragement should be given to Sugar Planters in
,i Itt;_arDplication of greater skill and better machinery to
.the original
9 1,16,,4_ Process rank and that Sugars produced from the cane-Juice should
8,.,'° case be ed with Sugars properly called Refined Sugars, nor
42,1,,eted tO the duties imposed on such.
ti, fhat although the influx. of Immigrants into the Colony has
rte been been insufficient to supply the demand for Agricultural La-
grZ ,!rs, the addition made to the peculation fm this source, at
"expense to the Local Treasury, has nevertheless proved highly
tat."„ucial, as evidenced,by the increased crops of the estates on which
~ Immigrants have been located.
e It raore copious stream of Immigration would not only enable the
:°nY to regain, but also to surpass, its former capacity as an ex-
keti!ng country ; and the certainty of this advantage would tend to
iamLtate the introduction of the capital necessary to the adoption of
fer.',''''ved methods 'of agriculture, and better processes of menu-
',tire. • . •
That the Colony is content to continue to bear the expense of the
71)sPort of African Emigrants, provided only that Parliament, in its
le.!l°M. would more effectually check the Slave Trade, by substitut-
cos for an expensive blockade of the Coast of Africa, a system of en-
, thiagernent to the Potentates of the African Continent to allow
1,,,`r subjects to profit,as free men, by the civilisation now in pro-
/4" amongst- their unindentured African brethren in the West
•:- es•
