sure of 1'797. He .should now advert to the proposition
iroroediately before the House ; others, he understood,
Were to be made, but all he knew of them was this, that
rhe Hon. Member meant to propose that the permanent
duty should be Bs. But why should the Hon. Member
give this protection ? According to his own argument, it
Was three times too high. He (Mr. Peel) could not un-
dn'atand the motive for his liberality.—(A laugh.)—The
Honourable Member said, the more cheaply you pur-
chase, the greater is the advantage to the grower as well
as to the consumer ; and if you buy a quartern loaf
for ad., it was of greater benefit to the grower than if you
gave ls. ; and he applied this rule of arithmetic to mil-
lions as well as to a single quartet n loaf. Why, then,
depart from this rule, and impose a duty of 10s. on foreign
corn ? if it was advantageous to the foreigner and to
us to buy corn as cheaply as possible, ought there to
be any duty at all ?—(Hear.)—Upon the same principle
he ought to allow a drawback on foreign corn, to re-
imburse the freight.—(Hear.)—He (Mr. Peel) objected
to a fixed duty, as fallacious. In times of scarcity and
high prices, that duty could not be levied: no govern-
ment would levy it. The Hon. Gentleman said that it
would prevent corn attaining a high mice: this he
(Mr. Peel) denied. The same cause which produced a
scarcity in this country, produced it elsewhere. Mr.
Burke had held an opinion, that there were cycles of
prosperity and adversity in seasons ; this might, perhaps,
be fanciful; but let it be recollected, that the countries
Which were the great producers of corn,—he meant
Germany, Poland, Great Britain, and Ireland,—were
within two degrees of certitude. To an ad valorem, or a
axed duty, many valid objections might be made. The
best plan was, to make the duty vary inversely as the price,
arid the vote of last night had approved the scale of duty
proposed by his Majesty's Ministers.
Sir T. GOOCH should support the resolutions of the
Right Hon. Gentleman, though they were not altogether
satisfactory.—(Hear.)
Mr. MABERLY rose to explain, amidst cries of
" Question." The Right Hon. Gentleman had alluded to
him as setting forth an ad valorem duty, whereas he never
contemplated it. He had objected to the imposition of a
duty of S 0 per cent., whilst the Right Hon. Gentleman
had laid it down that 30 per cent. was the Maximum of
duty on other articles.
Mr. HUME attempted to speak, but the cry of
" Question" prevented him.
Strangers were then ordered to withdraw, and the
House divided :
For Mr. Hume's amendment, 27 Against it, 139.
Majority against it, 112.
On our return to the gallery, we found Mr. W. Won.-
Ntonu giving notice that he intended to move his resolu-
tions in the Committee on the Bill.
The House having gone into a Committee on the Isle of
!Wan Corn Trade Acts,
Mr. GRANT moved a resolution to bring the Isle of
Man, as well as the rest of the United Kingdom, within the
meaning of the laws relative to the importation of corn.
The House then resumed, and the report was ordered t,)
he received to-morrow (this day) ; after which the other
Orders of the Day were disposed of.—Adjourned at Otsv
o'CLOCK.
