AT a GENERAL MEETING of the CALICO
-a. PRINTING TRADE, of the City of Olargow, and its
Neighbourhood, Convened to receive the Report of the Com-
mittee appointed to correfpond with the Delegate% in London,
upon the propofed Additional Tax on Printed Goods,
JOHN STIRLING, Efq. In the Chair,

The Meeting unanimoully came to the following Refolutions
T ft. That it appears by the report of the Committee, the Ml-
nifter has not as yet abandoned his intentiou of impofing an ad-
ditional Tax upon Printed Goods; while no fubilantial reafon
has been adduced why this particular branch of the Cotton
Pride has been repeatedly feleded as an object of taxation,
idly. That Printed Goods arc the only articlein the Cotton,
Woollen, or Linen Manufactures, fubjec.cil to a duty.
idly. That the Cotton Trade, viewed in the aggregate, as a
raft fource of national induftry and of national commerce, it
appears molt unwire and Impolitic to arreft its progrefs, nd
endanger its ex-Renee, by fubjedling any part of it to a Tax;
but the tingling out any particular branch of that trade, Is evi-
dently uutiutt, partial, and nppreiflvc.
4thly. That the Calico Printing Trade, as affording emplar•
meat to a numerous dal' of both fetes, and of all ages, is en-
titled to at leaf! an equal flare of the ;nob:Elton and favour of
the I.egiflature, with any branch of Manufacture whatever.
sthly. That a duty of tiel. per !quart yard upon printed goods,
inftead of std. being nearly double the prefent duty, mull, of
neccffity, not only materially dintinilh the cooftimpion, but
molt alto tend to transfer it to other articles paying no duty,
thereby rendering the great Rock funk in buildings, Machinery,
and Utentils, of little value.
_ _

•
6th. Th •t upon the impoilcy of the prise pie of taxing any
branch of the Cotton Trade, the Meeting apprehend they have
a right to luck with confidence for the zealous Alliance and
co-operation a every Individual interelled in, or encored
with. that valuable anti now Staple Manufacture of the Country;
and in impeding the obvious injustice and partiality of the pro-
pored Tax, they tmft tar the fupport and countenance of every
(air and candid petfon.
ythly. That the Cotton Manufadtures of this part of the
Country, have for a confiderable time pelt been in a vary
depfeli•d Rate, and that many theufanals of Males and Fi.ntakS
depending upon them, are at this moment out of employment.
• Eddy. That the Inevitable conc.:gannet of the propoinl Ad-
ditional Tax will be to incrcafe the general calamity, and molt
probably to force many ufeful and Ingoious hands to abandon
the Country; for, it is an incontrovertible fad, that owing to
want of employment, emigration is at prat= going on in an
alarming degree.
nthly. That therefore this Meeting will, with inereafing per-
reverance. reillt and oppofe by every Conftitutional means, the
prorated Additional Duty of Two-pence-halfpenny per (Taro
yard on Printed Goods, not only as pregnant with nannies con-
fequenees to themfelvas and to the great number of hands de-
pendant on them for bread; but as involving' the rnoft material
interefts of the whole community, thoroughly convinced than
the of lazing Manefaetures, once admitted, will not
be long confined to the Printing Trade, but be extended with
the burden, and all the inconeeniencies infamarable from the
ope-atlon of the Excite Laws, to molt other articles of Mann-
fadure.

tothly. That their Delegates In London be inftruc'tcd to
wait noon the %netlity with a copy of tht re Ref°,lotions, in ad.
ditiot to the Fit /elution* and Memorial formerly fent, And to
Inform him, that the Trade here are ready to fubfiantiate by
proof, what they have now advanced rrilttaing the depreffei
Kate of the Cotton Manufaelurea, and the prefect alarmists
emigration.
t r thly. That the thanks of this Meeting be given to the De.
legates, to the Chairman, and to the other Members of tha
Committee, for the labour and paiom they have abradv bellow.
ed upon this bonne(' ; and that they be requefted to continuo
their exertions, to avert a meafure fo evidently datrueiive to
the Callieo Printing Buena:Cs, and ►until to the general into.
rens of the Country.
t at Id y. That 111. ft: Kt-CM:via:is be communicated to the wh nit
Printing and Conan Trade of the Kingdom. In filch manner
as the Committee may Jodye brit adapted for that purpoft.
lthiy. That mole. of th.-fe Refulutioos be tranfotitted to
the Lord Pruvoit and Magiftrates, to the Merchants at 4
Trades' and to the Chamber of Commerce of this City.
all of whom bare already caprefed their difapprobatioo debt

Lord DARNLEY fuid, in confequence of what

tion lie had the honour to ilibroit to the Houfe on

Many Noble Lords, he faid, who had voted
againft his Motion, admitted the necellity of Come
fpeciflc meal-are, and objerted only to the wide

remarkable fir his attachment to the late Admini-
ftration, had evprefid his difapprobation of the
manner in v..hich the Hon. Members who compo.
fed it had quitted their fituations. He therefore
hoped and truiled the meafure he lhould next have
the honour to propule (if he was not prevented by
the bufmcfs being taken up by ionic other Noble
Lord) would meet the concurrence of their Lord-
!hips.

ment in that paper of a con verfation which palled
in the Houfe on Friday ; and alto for the infertion
of an alledged libel, intitled Chriftianus, in its pub-
lication of Saturday. Strangers were as ufual ex-
cluded upon the occafion. The refult, however,
was, they were reprimanded, and ordered to be
difcharged on paying the fines in one of the cafes.
