SOUTH BUCKINGHAMSHIRE AGRICZ7L
VIRAL ASSOCIATION.
Yesterday the annual ploughing match in con
nexion with this association took place in a field nea
Slough, closely abutting upon the railway, and
the evening a large party of the members and friend
dined together at the Windmill, Salthill.-
In the absence• of the Right Hon. H. Labouchere
who is still abroad, the chair was taken by the Hon
G. J. Irby, who was supported by Mr. Disraeli

Rev. C

The vice-chair was Anna by Major Bent.
The usual loyal and patriotic toasts having been
duly drunk,
Mr. J. TRUMPER rose to, propose the " Health of
the Members for the county. He should be sorry,
he said, to disturb the harmony of their proceedings,
but the toast which he had to propose was one con-
nected with politics ; and though, perhaps, he might
not be justified, he might, he hoped, be tolerated.—
(Hear, hear.) A man must indeed be a stoic if,
being a farmer, he did not see that his position was
mixed up in some degree with politics. The pros-
perity of other classes had been tbereby well dinned
into their cars, but he thought that they would ac-
knowledge with him that, though many classes were
scudding along with a prosperous gale, no whiff of
the propitious breeze had yet ruffled their drooping
sails.—(Cheers.) He would ask, however, whether
those classes that were so prosperous had ever con-
descended to inquire what a high price bad been
paid fcr the prosperity which they were said
to be enjoying. If the country were so prosperous as
was represented he might ask why such numbers of
persons were leaving our shores, while the necessaries
and luxuries of life were to be had so cheap ? and it
might be said, in reply, that they went to our colo-
nies, where the same system prevailed. The con-
trary, however, was the fact, for they preferred that
" benighted country," the United States, where pro-
tection to native industry reigned supreme.—(Loud
cheers.) The farmers had had plenty of advice given
to them within the last few years ; advice accom-
panied with the most taunting raillery. Ha was con-
vinced, however, if they analyzed all the advice which
had been lavished upon them that its value would be
found to be infinitesimally small, and, if followed out,
it would have been actually pernicious. They had
been told to electrify and to magnetize their land, to
build premises sufficient to accommodate every sheep
upon their farms with a drawing room, and to grow
flax; and they were told that farmers should be mi-
neralogists and entomologists, and geologists, and he
did not know how many other ists besides. The
toast which he bad to propose was a most grateful
one, for he was sure they would receive it with ap-
plause—it was "Tae Members for the county."—
(Cheers) One of them he bad great pleasure in see-
ing present ; and he would not longer trespass on
their time, knowing what eloquence that gentleman
was master of. There was no occasion for him, how-
ever, to be his eulogist. His honour was before the
whole community, and he could only say that he had
graced both the literature and the senate of his
country. He hoped Mr. Disraeli would long con-
tinue to be their representative.—(Cheers.)
The toast was drunk with enthusiasm.
Mr. DISRAELI on rising was warmly applauded.
After briefly apologising for the absence of his col-
leagues, in wbose behalf he thanked the meeting, the
Hon. Gsntleman proceeded in nearly the folluwing
terms :—I am the more gratified by the manner in
which the health of the Members for the county of
Bucks has been proposed to you to-day, when. I re-
member the quarter from which it emanated. It has
been proposed to you by a farmer of this county, who
deservedly stands high in the estimation of all pre-
sent, and, indeed, I may say, of all who are acquainted
with him.—(Cheers.) That our healths should have
been proposed, and in such terms, by a gentleman who
is most entitled to our respect, and who himself is so
skilful in the undertakings in which he is interested,
is to me, and I am sure it is to those who are absent,
a matter of great gratification. However, my hon.
friend Mr. Trumper has made some apology, for, I
won't say breaking, but for partially transgressing an
ancient rule of this society, that we should not touch
upon the interesting circumstances of the hour.—(A
laugh.) I really can't express what are called
" politics" in other terms.—(Cheers.) I may say,
upon my own part, without the least affectation. 4.

that nothing was further from my expper.,,c.atatti::,
o
that I should to-day be called u
even in answer, to a subject of that kind. I came
here to-day to pay an act of respect to a gentleman
who certainly has very little sympathy with me in
political life, but for whom I entertain a most sincere
regard, and that is the gentleman who I expected
would have filled your chair to. day. I wished to show
to Mr. Labouchere, whose friendly feeling I greatly
esteem, and for whom I entertain all those feelings
which one must entertain for a gentleman so able and
so amiable—l wished to show, upon the part of the
Members for Bucks,' that respect which, I am sure,
would not be displeasing to him, and would be grate-
ful to my constituents.—(Hear.) Therefore, if there
were no other reason, that, of course, would have

any way have been called in question. My own opi-
nion is this, that, under all circumstances and at all
times, it is extremely important and desirable in meet-
ings of this kind that what are called " party politics"
should be severely excluded. I think that questions
On the decision of which the fortunes and position of
one set of public men as against the fortunes and posi-
tion of another set of public men may be placed for a
moment in discussion, are very much to be avoided; but
I distinguish myself between party politics and politics
in the proper and, I would say, nobler sense of the
question, namely, the consideration of the effects of
the legislation of the country on the fortunes of those
present. That, I think, at all times and under all
circumstances, is a fit subject for public considera-
tion ; and I confess myself, though I should not have
opened my, lips upon the subject, considering who
might have been in the chair, I think it is really
worse than idle that at the present day any body of
persons connected with the cultivation of the soil
should meet together in festivities like the present, and
that they should not make the slightest allusion to
those subjects which, of all others, necessarily en-
gross their attention. Therefore, lam not surprised
that my friend Mr. Tramper has taken the license
which he has done and made those observations which
he has just offered to us.—(Cheers.) Now, I shall but
for a very few moments refer to them, but, as you have
done me the honour of drinking my health, and as
that health was proposed in the tone to which I have
referred, perhaps you will allow me to make a few
remarks which I feel it to be my duty to make to you
as one whom, however unworthy, you have sent to
' Parliament as your representative.—(Cheers.) Now,

gentlemen present who have different opinions upon
the the abstract expediency or inexpediency of what is
called the " protective system"--I think that there is
one point upon which we must all agree, and that is.
that protection to a particular class, irrespective of all
other classes, is quite out of the question. I always
said so, and the more I think of the subject the more
convinced lam that that is so. That being the case,
it is perfectly clear that the system which has been

be restored unless there is an almost universal

..ttaelcultaral interest to discover the cause, or at li-ast
one of the cause, which occasion it to suffer by that
change of legislition which many other classes think
so beneficial. That is the only point that I have im-
pressed upon the attention of the farmers when I have
met them. I shall not enter info any details' now.
But in my opinion the reason why we find such (ii-
culty in entering into competition with the-agricul-
tural producers of other countries is, that we are suf-
fering under a heavy weight of taxation. (Cries
of "Bravo.") And lam quite convinced ' that "you
must bring the mind of the farmers generally to con-
sider that subject, if they wish anything practical to
be done at once which may alleviate the suffering
which they now every day more experience.—(A
Voice—" Remuneration of price is of much more con-
sequence.") Remuneration of price must depend in
a great degree upon the cost of production. If you
diminish the cost of production, which you do if
you reduce taxation, 4'ou increase the remuneration
of price. Remuneration of price is what every man
wants, but we are to find the different means by
which remuneration of_ price mayeka obtained, and
then every one must 'admit that one of the sources of
the remuneration of price is the reduction of the
cost of production.—(Cheers, and a Voice " That
won't do it.") If my Hon. Friend can get laws in
this country that will at once give him that remune-
rative price which he requires—if he finds the vast
majority of the country in favour of such laws, no
one will be more glad than myself. No one fought
more ardently, no one I hope fought more sincerely
than I did. My sabre was notched from top to
bottom before I ceased to struggle; but if you think
that you cannot immediately and at once return to
that system which has been abrogated, but which
you have found beneficial, then I wish to know
whether it is your opinion that you should try to do
anything else.—(Hear, hear.) Now we are in this
state—that when Parliament meets the very first
question which will engage the attention of the House
of Commons and the country will be the principles
on which the taxation of this country is to be estab-
lished. That is the first question. The income-tax,
which is now the keystone of the financial arch,
must, unless some interposition takes place, fall.
Therefore, as in fact in a few months the income-tax
ceases, there must be a great deficiency in the revenue
of the country; and the Parliament, which; after all,
only represents the opinions of gentlemen who, like
my Friend who just now so courteously interrupted
me—(A laugh)—l am speaking most sincerely—l am
glad he did interrupt me—Parliament must decide
upon the principles on which the taxation of this
country is to be raised. If it be true, as I believe it
is, that there is a great and undue pressure of taxa-
tion upon the agricultural interest of this country—
that the owners and occupiers of land pay a much
greater portion of the general taxation of the country
than they ought to pay—then, if that is understood,
and is fairly and properly represented in the House
of Commons, when the great discussion comes, it is
not impossible that some arrangement may be arrived
at which may prove advantageous to the land in all
its classes and interests. But if you, -instead of un-
derstanding this part of the question, instead of
giving your intelligence and energies to this part of
the question, determine that you will only try to get
a remunerative price, by bringing back an abrogated
system, which you know at the present moment the
country generally will not support you in bringing
back, the consequence will be, that when the new
system of taxation is established, there will be im-
posed fresh burdens on the land, and fresia injustice
will be entailed on you.—(Cheers.) I don't want
to enter into any discussion at the present moment,
but I will repeat, in a few sentences, some general
conclusions which no one has yet successfully chal-
lenged. It is a fact that in the United Kingdom
13,000,000/. per annum are raised by local taxation,
and rai,ed from one species of property, called
" real property." 01 these 13 000 0001. it is a fact 1

ground on which you may appeal to the Legislature
of the country for an equitable adjustment of taxation ;
for the land-tax is not on©
which can be justified on
those new principles of political science and economy
which are the governing principles of the day,
and on which avowedly
your new commer-
cial system is established. I say that the
principle on which new commercial
system is established is, your
that there should not be
a tax upon the raw material, and, in my opinion, a
tax upon land, like all your local taxes, is a tax upon
the-raw material. Since I aiade that observation I
see that there has arisen a great controversy upon the
subject. Indeed, almost as 1"
I entered this room a most
intelligent gentleman now Present demurred to me
on this point. He said, " I don't understand how
land can be a raw material. Land always remains."
Now I think that in that observation I trace that
fallacy which is very prevalent in this country, and
which, I am convinced, should be exposed, as it is
most injurious to the farmers of this country. Since
I made the observation at Aylesbury I have seen the
opinion of the most distinguished writer on political
economy of the present day—kr. Stuart Mills—and
he says, that it is a fallacy
to treat land as a raw ma-
terial, because he says that man did not make the
land. But there I think that the fallacy of the
whole opposition to the principle which I have
laid down is to be found, because what I maintain
is, that man did make the land—(Cheers)—that

to discover what are some of the It is .

causes of its suffer-
ing ; and I am not to teach you how you are to pay
your bills; how you are to discharge your debts ;
but I am to show, on the part of the agricultural lein-
terest,
whom you acknowledge
„. dge to be the only great
suffering interest, and who are suffering in conse-
quence of undue taxation, and it is for Politicians, and
statesmen, and persons who represent the community,
that are revelling, we are told, in every degree of
prosperity---it is for them to devise how they can
meet their engagements in the most easy and conve-
nient manner for themselves.—(Cheers.) That is
why I think it is so unwise that farmers when they
complain should be calling out to the Legislature for
a particular scheme of relief, which is one odious to
the multitude, putting themselves in the position of

men, cs it were, who are unable to carry on their
trade without the assistance of the Legislature, when,
in fact, all they have got to do is to say that you
are :raising a sum of 12,000,0001. or 13,000,000/
from the lain], which you ought not, according to the
principles of financial justice, to raise. You would
then, I believe, have terms offered to you, and, by he-
hes united, propebly you'd have very wee! terms.
Now, this is the view I take of the position of the
ferment of this country. With regard to the pi lied-
ple of the protective system, if that system is restored
it must he, by the whole country, and the farmers still
hays their advantage of it. It never will be restortil
for the farmers tdone; and, if the farmers think that
it will, they are only playing the game of their ene-
mies, and they will find that there will lo' veer after
year greater oppressions upon them, greater burdens
on their shoulders, and greater difficulties on their
part to preserve the position in which they are placed.
I do not advise you to give up the principle of what is
called " Protection to British industry." That is a
theory that is founded on principles which very great
men have advocated, and which may be supported by
a great force of argument; but it is not a system that
atiy longer exists, and, unless you get the unsjority of
the country with you, you will not get it back. In
the meantime, are you to do nothing, when you have
a case totally irrespective of protection ? You have
a case the strongest in the world, if you
go forward and ask for justice instead of pro-
tection. Take protection if you can get it. If
others get protection you will have it ; but no other
class can call for financial justice except the agri-
cultural class. It is their own case, and if they
choose to unite depend upon it that the Bill which
they prefer to the Ministry of the country cannot
easily be satisfied, and that some compromise, which,
after all, is an arrangement most in accordance with
the common sense and experience, and character of
this country, will be entertained and gained, which,
if they follow the advice of other gentlemen than the
present Member for Buckinghamshire who now ad-
dresses them, they will have very little chance of ob-
taining.—(Hear.) I hear frequently that theinfluence
of the agricultural classes has been very much exag-
gerated, that the constitution of the country has been
based on a parallel principle, and that each kind of
property has not had its fair influence, and that the
day has gone by in which the agricultural interest in
all its classes can be supposed to exercise the influence
that it did. I hope the day has gone by when any
class can obtain favours from the Legislature to which
it is not entitled—when any class, because it pos-
sesses political power, shall be able to accomplish
social injustice.—(Cheers.) I don't wish to enter
into the question of what is the comparative influence
of classes ; I only wish to say this, that the farmers,
the most powerful class in the country, in the class
which mostly employs labour. The farmers of
the united kingdom are the class which mostly
employs labour, much beyond other classes, and,
therefore, the farmers of the United Kingdom are
really the most powerful class. That is the test—not
an imaginary, but a practical test—which will decide
legislation, if the farmers are united ; and, therefore,
if the farmers will only embrace certain practical
ideas, and carry out and support them, it is quite im-
possible, if they are founded in justice, and can be
supported by argument, that they will not make their
way and be successful. I don't ask any man to give
up the system which will secure him remunerating
prices. I don't ask any man to give up any of the
essential principles .for which we have fought, and
none of which we :have relinquished; but where a
system becomes a theory, and ceases to be a firet, I
say it is of the utmost importance that the farreers of
this country should be aware of that. If the farmers
are persuaded that a greater burden of taxation is laid
on them than on any other class in the cc untry, they
can, with the power which they possess, and which
under any form of government they must possess,
because no new reform in Parliament can diminish
the just and legitimate influence of the greatest em-
ployers of labour, make on appeal t'o the Legislature,
which will not be unsuccessfut. I don't say I really
wish the system of local taxation altered. I don't wish
to say I don't estimate the importance of the malt-tax
as a source of imperial revenue; I don't mean to say
that many arguments may not be urged that may
show the expediency of directly taxing land ; but if
those processes are carried on, and those results are
obtained by a system of financial injustice, it is the
duty cf stetesneen to find some compensatory power
v. hich will 'triable the agriculture? class to bear the
increetted 'burden. That is the only point on which I
insist, and I am sure that if you will support these
vie'iss a very short time will elapse, a very short
'.:me indeed, before you will find that they will pro-
duce you fruits, that you will find yourselves in a
healthier position, and that you will arrive at the
results which you desire, at that remunerating price
to which my friend has very properly alluded, by
means in which the whole country will go with you,
and in which, instead of being looked ou as as power-
ful class, exercising your power for a particular end,
you will be looked on as a great class in this country
who are only exercising your power for the attain-
ment of that justice with which all classes of Eng-
lishmen sympathise.—(Cheers.) I find that what
has happened since the repeal of the corn laws bag
placed the farmers of the United Kingdom in a much
better position as regards public opinion than they
once enjoyed. I shall not allude to some facts
which I mentioned the other day in the north of
the county among your brethren there to
show the results of this energy and enter-
prise ; and I think they are now perfectly acknow-
ledged. I think it is admitted that, on the whole,
the agriculture of England, certainly of the United
Kingdom, is the most skilful agriculture in
the world ; and I think it is also acknow-
ledged that, especially since the change, there
has been no lack of energy or enterprise on the part
of the British farmer. But a good many other falla-
cies—calumnies I might call them, if I were not dis-
posed to-day to use the gentlest terms—have been put
an end to. The statement that the farmers could not
carry on business from the want of capital, is pretty
well exploded. Even the highest authority on this
subject (Mr. Pusey) says he has been at work at high
farming for several years, and that he never could
put on 61. an acre. Therefore, all those stories which
carried in a great degree the repeal of the corn laws,
such as that no farmer should have less than 101. an
acre on his farm, and that no farm in England had
more than 5/. au acre, are put in limbo.—(Laughter.)
Those discussions of 1846 also have very much cleared
the reputation of the farmers. We have had since
then a great commercial distress in 1847, and there
was a Committee of the House of Commons tip-
pointed to inquire into the cause of that commercial
distress. I was a member of that Committee. The
gentleman who might have been your chairman to-
day was also a member. We investigated that sub-
ject with our utmost efforts. I supported those views
which are popular among ourselves. My friend,
Mr. Labouchere, a free trader, took another view
of the general question, but we all arrived at
one conclusion. It was the unanimous decision of
that committee, which consisted of fixed duty men,
Free-traders, Protectionists, and Manchester men,
that the commercial distress was principally occa-
sioned by commercial men carrying on their business
without capital.—(Laughter and cheers.) I really
think that is the best vindication of the farmers of
Great Britain that has yet been made. Tne year
after they repealed the corn-laws this distress oc-
curred, and we came to the unanimous conclusion
that the principle cause of the commercial distress
was men trading without capital. But I am reminded
of another circumstance. It was always said that
one reason why the farmers could not carry on their
business to advantage was that they could not keep
accounts. Now, a great many of my friends who
are farmers keep accounts. I can go to Wickham
market and buy a farmer's account-book which might
compete with many of the ledgers of commercial
men. But, since that was said, since every leading
member of the Manchester school—(A laugh)—held
up the farmers of Great Britain as men who could not
keep accounts, there has been an immense investment
of capital—no less than 200,000,0001.—by
.
commer-
cial
men and the middle and trading classes the
construction of railways. Very few of those specula-
tions have turned out so satisfactory as was ex-
pected • and committees of investigation have been
formed to inquire into the reasons why
they have not yielded what my friend has called re-
munerative prices, which committees have all come
to the conclusion that this 200,000,0001. has been in-
vested by commercial men who cannot keep account:.
—(Laughter and cheers.) I really think that these
are circumstances which tell on the minds of the
people of the country; and year after year, as these
things transpire, there is a general imprestion in this
country that the farmers of this country have not had
justice done them, and that even if the change which
took place in 1846 was beneficial, a; many supposed,
it was obtained by false pretences. Therefore I think
there is a general disposition on the part of the public
opinion of this country to view what is called the
agricultural question in a temperate and moderate
spirit—(Hear, hear)—and I believe there is an anxiety
to come to some arrangement which, without mainly
interfering with those financial principles prevalent in
this country, wouldimake the position of the cultivator
of the soil easier by reducing the cost of his manu-
facture. If you see those tendencies, itis not extremely
politic and expedient that the agriculturists should

&.veral other toasts followed, and the company
separated.

LECTURE ON BLOO
On Monday evening Miss Kelly's theatre, in Dean-
street, Soho, was crowded by an eager auditory,
assembled in consequence of an announcement, ema-
nating from "The London Bloomer Committee," that
a lecture on the new costume would be delivered by
a lady appropriately attired. A crowd was assembled
in the street long before the doors were opened, and
when admission was obtained the theatre was imme-
diately filled—so rapidly, indeed, that a gentleman
from the stage announced that the lecture would not
be delayed until the time named in the bills, es the
edifice could contain no more. In a few minutes
after this notification, about twenty ladies, attired in
the Bloomer costume, appeared upon the stage, and
took their seats in a semicircle. Every variety of the
new attire was now to be seen, from the strictly
legitimate Bloomer skirt, " two inches below the
knee," to the less daring and less attractive drapery
which came down almost to the ankles. Nor were
varieties of colour wanting. Young ladies attired in
white with pink sashes contrasted strangely with
elderly ladies clad in brown and black, some prefer-
ring the hair unadorned, others wearing a few orna-
ments, and two wearing a hugh broad-brimmed black
hat. The 'audience—the great majority of which
was composed of gentlemen—received the Bloomer
cortege with cheers and laughter, the latter demon-
stration so far predominating as to cause some of the
ladies to waver in their approach, and onelor two retired
behind the slips to regain their presence of mind,
somewhat shaken by their first reception. Order
having been restored a lady attired in a dark brown
costume came forward and addressed the audience.
The lecturer's name was not announced, it being
merely stated that she was a citizen of the United
States. She stated that in consequence of the great
interest with which the Bloomer question was re-
ceived by the public, a certain number of ladies had
been formed into a committee, in order to give it the
necessary attention and publicity, and invited the
mothers and daughters of England to give their at-
tention to the new costume as contrasted with the
present injurious form of attire. The introductory
part of the lecture adverted (amidst the laughter of
the audience) to the first institution of clothing by
our primeval parents. The lecturer, however, fore-
bore to inquire whether the leaves formed a tunic or
a simple petticoat. She then proceeded to trace the
custom of nations from time immemorial of marking
the different grades of human rank by varying ap-
parel, and urged that the present inconvenient dress
of ladies was not only unfit for their situation as the
helpmates of man, but opposed to the laws of nature
as regarded their physical conformation. This subject
led to a consideration of the moral and social conduct
of American ladies, and thence by some strange
transition to the slave trade and the claims of the
" citizenesses" of the United States to a repre-
sentation in the Legislature. This discursive matter
having been concluded, the lecturer took into consi-
deration the injurious effect of the present style of
dress, and the obstructions caused by it to the highest
functions of the human frame. She demonstrated
seriatim the effects of impeded action of the heart
and lungs, and traced to this cause a long train of
diseases. The filth collected by the long trains of
ladies sweeping the dirt did not escape notice, and the
lecture concluded by an exposition of the advantages

plain terms, attributing the outbreaks partly to the
disappointment of many present at a recent Bloomer
manifestation. The Bloomer ladies joined in the
National Anthem at the close of the proceedings, and
the lecture was announced for repetition.

other subject except that of proposing the health of
one of her Majesty's Minister., who I thought would
have been in the chair; and I have only spoken to you
in that confidential and conversational manner in
which it is my duty always to be ready as your mem-
ber to speak to you. Finding you here, and finding
myself here et this critical ruo:n,,nt of your fortunes,
I am only doing my duty in taking this opportunity,
as I will take every opportunity, of endeavuurirs. to
impress on your minds what I think is ot-isential to
Your benefit and advantage.—(Cheers.) That is the
reason why 1 have taken the liberty of making the
observations which otherwise I would not have done.
I know very well the position of this district; I know
that you are men of great skill and capital, and I know
that the agriculture of South Bucks is such as You need
not be ashamed of; and therefore I know that when
you feel the pinch you come forward with advantages
which claimants who are not under such circum.
stances may not urge. But it is for that very reason
that my sympathy is still stronger' in your favour. I
know that when there are great changes such as we
see have occurred, painful as **l know that the:
weak men are the victims, and, as in the case of the
handloom weavers, that no legislation in the world
can prevent inevitable doom. It is because I know
I am addressing men who, meeting the difficulties
they have had to encounter, with every advantage
which men can possess, know still how difficult it is
to bear the burden, that I wish to impres on them,
men of substance as well as men of sense, that the
time is come that they should unite to exercise their
influence in obtaining from the Parliament of this
country a practical end. That practical end, I re-
peat, is to ask the Legislature of this country to con-
sider taxation with regard to its peculiar weight and
burden on the agricultural interest, not to demand
any measure as a specific remedy, but to leave that
to statesmen and politicians; to prefer your claims,
to proclaim your sufferings, and to ask that to which
every class, weak or powerful, is entitled—namely, a
satisfactory and speedy remedy from the Legislature
of the country. Now if you do that, I think we
shall meet in this room again with very
different feelings from what we do at pre-
sent ; and though you may consider that but
a limited remedy, and the course which I indicate too
narrow, allow me to say that it is a practical course ;
and in these days of rapid events you must look to
that which is practical. You will find that the ad-
vantage of taking a practical course is this, that you
will gain that which now exists only in theory. Take
the case of a fixed duty on ragricultural produce • I
give no opinion upon it, but I take it as a remedy
which is prevalent, not to say popular, among a:very
vawerful and influential class. Three years ago, if
you had asked for a fixed duty, those who had just
gained the immense benefit which they did by the re-
peal of the corn-laws at your cost, would say, of
course, No, we have gained only what was just—
we won't give you a fixed duty." But the discussion
of the last three years, which has attracted public
opinion to the questioia of taxation, and which has
proved to the Legislature of the country that
there is that undue weight of taxation and those
undue restrictions weighing on the cultivation of
the soil, those discussions have opened the hearts of
many people and influenced the minds of many people
who were opposed to a fixed duty, and who say, after
all it is more convenient to give a fixed duty to the
cultivator of the soil than to pay off the demands
which he makes upon us. The Hon. Gentleman,
after a few other observations, concluded by proposing
" The health of the Chairman," and resumed his seat
amid loud cheers.
