The following reasons relitive;to the Leather Tix,
and the operation of die Excise Restrictions epos the.
Manufacture, we submit as well deserving the conside-
ration of the Legislature and the Public: l
I
First, The Restrictions, by not allowing the diEfeientlivsowhor
of the Leather Trade to be carried on by persons engispedWilir
branches of the same Trade, lessen the number of seam * law
consumers, and prevent that frac competition, no less far
the prosperity of every manufacture than for the intekest of the
, I Public • and for want of which as Well as from the high prices of '
Raw Hides, the Public were' disappointed;hy Leather Goods not
falling mote in price immediately after the additional Tart was
repealed. , .
Second, It Was proved by the Evidence received by the
ngttees of the Honourable Hone of Commons upon the Lea
"Tax, in Ibl3 and 1816, that the Endue Restrictions siloise,
eearp-
•sary to collect it, ceased an actual muse to the
maaulYet
equal to twice the gross amount of the -present Tax, tam*
diens to ming*/ and water the materials of which

INK It was ellea Oren" duet they prevent Leather being made

Past% Theo NeelnWeres alone greatly depreciate the vane'

. for the vast advance in the prices, occasioned in various
by the Restrictions. fets*
fth, If the Tax and Restrictions were repealed, the Tanners
of ibis Canatey would be better enabled to purchase the raw pro-

Revenue may gain (sayiog.pothidg of the improved
manner at transacting business) by the 'reforms that
have already been accemplislied, it may not be unin-

officers used to manage all the buiiness in two or three

for eight-or nine hours eaeli day, in lisiestigating the
