THAT; r.eilialq. Approving of 'dui. "priliciples.—.of
Free Trade, we :are delirOus of teeing them tarried into
effect. is far it is practkable tinder the circumstances iu which
tbis Mena* : •
That the Court is deeply impressed with the prthent distress.of
the eatintty, which teriously affects almost every branch of the
lianufacturing and Commercial Interests.
That, *Ade this Court approves of the principles of Free Trade,
and is desirous. of seeing all unnecessary restrictions upon the
.Ceeneterce of the Cuuatry removed, as far as practicable, yet it
is the most ttrongly impressed with the dificulty and danger of
carrying such measures into den, with the present high price of
food, -artificially kept up by the Itestrktions upon the. Importation
of Cons, •and the biad and Debt of Taxes, which still press upon
the Manufactures of this Country, and which must disable them
from competing with those Cowin*: where food is cheap, and the
national burdens inconsiderable,
That the Corn Laws in their operation counteract the natural
tendency of industry, skill, and enterprise to improve oar mann-
factures, and thereby to render this Country the market for sup-.
plying tbe demands of a great pan of the habitable glob..
That with a view to facilitate these objects it is essential that
raw materials of every description should he freely imported is
*action, for the goods manufactured in this country.
That the kedge demand for the manufactures of this country is
limited in a great degree by the mains of payment possessed by
foreign consumers: and, as those countries which are purely Agri-
cultural can only barter with the produce of their soil, it follows
that by prohibiting, the importation of suck produce they are de-
barred from purchasing British Goods, and thus induced to become
our competitors in many branches of manufactures.
That restricting the Importation of Foreign Corn, while Free
Trade is to be opened for Foreign Manufactures, tends to deprive
British Animus of employment, at the same time that it mthia
mend, enhances the price of their food, and reduces them NE
state of pauperism. •••
That this Oven claw ermsider the present system of the. Cala
Laws beneficial to she Agricultural Interests, seeing that under
thenathe meet esteem Suctuatiens of price and distressing reverses
have bees 'specialised by the Farmer, while the Peasantry have
been sedated to a condition of great misery end dktrese.
Slut the present distress demands 'an immediate and effectual
rethsesien of the Bapendieure of Government, is the Military
and every other Department, where it can be admitted, in order
that the Country may be relieved from the Assessed Taxes, and
all :base Honks' which so greatly impede the Restqation of the
National Prowler. WOODTHORPE.

state of things He contended that freedom of ac-
tion could. not .be laid. down .as a ,general principle
or rule from.which ni, exception, no extraordinary emer-
gency could.ever induct:them to depart. Was not the

these principles were not and could not be applied
No'Perion coild sit in that House an hour and not hear
cases in which the complicated nature of our laws ae4

But no one mqp rejoiced than he did to see these prin..•

at the University of Orford, and he hoped there won

the Nobility and others. • But they should never cos
to have diCrences of opinion upon these intricacies.

they would find the definition of their principles by
no means mathematical. No two of these books agreed

itiory of what was said to be (Mr. Baring's) 1000A'

which he bad ever differed from his Sight Hon. Friend ;

ferent road to it, and not start at all until the country
-wai in a state fig to bear the change. Bit what bad
been the course of his Right flon.lriend's coodtict in
that House? He would take no examples of it from
nice distinctions, but shew the inconsistency with which
he had acted Upon great points end questiOns of large
policy. In the year 1810, when the 11._ en-
gaged in a war of such *character that GOD ((VW the
cooks), should arc see another rill; it—when there was
not a guinea is; the country, and when 'the-return of
peace was looked upon by every man with despair—his
Hight Hon. Friend byverbs* in that House, and by
pamphlet-writing out of oars, tecrimeteaded. a Mea•
•sire for recurring iii tteo fears frail that date to pay-
ments to cash. He would-rooar ask the Right Ibis
-Gentlemau, after theleepesianea *Filth the coaster had
seen, svbetber such a measure would have been Fact&
cable, and whether he was now prepared to abide by
that opinion ?—,CMT. fit/3EI/401r: a Entirely, entirely,
Then although the House tniAlst be convinced of his
Right Hon. Friend's periinacity, be at least showed
them that -a theorist would maintain opinions which
any alas of the least penctical information Mutt know
to be Utterly untenable. This :hewed what he ateant
tp. contend tar, that his Right Hun. Friend WM mot that
sale pilot whom prudent men would consent ti fitticntr
Whitfield. The second case he should mention was
much more important—the opinions advocated by his
Right Hon. Friend, upon the Cora Question, in 1815.
He was Alen the only great advocate for the Measure of
ativaacirrg the importing price of cora from 664. up to
80s. and this took place after the first peace, before the
retina of Napoleon from Elba. He opposed his Right
Hors. Friend then, and was in a very small minority;
but althoogh he was not in much favour with the House
at that time, the vote he gave was not one as itight be
supposed that he was much ashamed of. His Right
idanestable Friend was then the strenuous supporter •
that measure, se contrary to all his principles': and
he would ask him whether he would now stand by
such a proposition. Then, as to the consistency upon
which his Right Honourable Friend claimed the
confidence of the House, what had it been with respect
to this very Silk Bill ? When it was brought forward
two years ago, he (Mr. Baring) said, that if it were
carried into effect the silk manufacturer would be sa-
crificed to the throwster. He, who usually bad the
bad femme of being in small minorities in that House,
was then in a more unfortunate minority than ever.—
His Right Hon. Friend maintained that the duty of
it. 6d. was the proper protection of the manufacturer,
and what was the consequence?• lie was afterwards
obliged to reduce it, not by authority of that House, but
by a Trestury Minute, to ss. In the whole of his speech
or last night there was a total absence of any informa-
tion as to what the Oovernment meant to do. They
had heard not a word as to whether it was meant to
protect the throwster at all, and no information has
afforded thein by which they could"knuw what was to
be done with any branch of the trade. He would now
ask whether the provision in the Act of last year, which
fixed this protecting Allay of 7s. 6d: was not most case-
lessly and ignorantly adopted ? Why, then, he ci old
not see in his Right Hon. Friend dist sturdiness of con-
duct, that knowledge of his own mind, which would
induce him tolollow such a guide blindly, and to gi've
up his own opinions, which he conceived to be founded
upon the best intormation. In mentioning again the
Petition of 1820, ii was due to the Government to say
that they readily gave it their attention, and referred it
to a Committee, whose able recommendations had been
followed up hy the Right Hon. Gentleman, now Mas-
ter of the Mint, with great diligence and ability, and
with no less success. The result was, that 'a series of '
measures had been introduced by the Government,
which had conferred a benefit upon the Commerce of
this country, such as it had never experienced befbre.
Altd,if tbs. merthants not only of London, but of the
wiipitcPpptg, were not ready to acknowledge this,
entuidsethe most ungraceful men in the world.—
Thassineasires had relieved the Navigation Laws Mai

Jwing , _anisters.by
merchants for these measures ; and he for one, -Was
ready and anxious to make every sneknowiedgfaent in
his power. Undoubtedly some of -such measures must
depend upon trial, and there was one part of them
which required to be watched on account of the great
increase of American carrying vessels to be seen in our
ports. Upon-these points, therefore, he thought the
course of the Ministers highly laudable. Mit what he
complained of was, that they were pushing the abstract
principles of the theorists beyond their proper bounds,
for it was those abstract principles, so much cherished
byMinisters, that should be made to bend a little to prac•
tical information, furnished upon indisputable data: the
'Members did not seem to look sufficiently at the dan-
ger of not only throwing thousands out of bread, but of:
.absolutely ruining the entire silk trade. If he urged,
a claim for the issue of -Exchequer Bills, the Minister
acted upon his principle, and refused relief, because it
would interfere with it. He denied all assistance—he

would not even lend his hand to mitigate, b.cause it
would be a violation of his principles. Principles, how-
ever, should not be pushed to so rigorous an extreme ; in
fact, if the country were delivered over to your abstract
theorists, the most incalculable mischiefs would arise.—
His late filead, the ingenious Mr. Ricardis had every
beautiful, but very visionary theory; relative to the prin.
ciple of compensation and property, but then it was
utterly impracticable. Then aggin look at the same
Gentleman's idea as to what amount of capital could
constitute a bank. Why, the truth was, that he knew
nothing of the nature of a bank, or he never would have
written as he had done. If these Gentlemen were the
lights to guide the House in legislation, he feared their
measures must-prove wholly abortive, if not injurious.
The principle of compensation of debt and property,
though beautiful in theory, could never be put in ere-
cation. He recollected another 'triter on political eco-
nomy. Mr. Malthus, who, to thew his profound know-
ledge of the subject; gravely informed us that the prices
of commodities had nothing to do with the amount of
rent Then came another Gentleman, who wrote on
the subject, and he set out to prove th at absenteeism
was no evil to Ireland...(Year, hear).—Hit thought
it of no consequence whether such a man as the
Marquis of Hertford, deriving a large income from Ire-
land. anent it in London Sr inParis,an apioion than which
believer yet heard a greater range ad abseadanc—
He stated these facts to shew what was to become Of
them if they consented to be guided by these theorists
and attended to nothing which tell from practical men.
He did not Mean to say that practical men were free
from errors—he knew that they maintained opinions
as Absurd as could be well conceited. But if the two
parties would exchange some of their kuowledge, and
haves little less contempt for each other, they would
both come- to conclusions much more like common
sense than those at which they low arrived. His Right
fiat. Friend had called upon the House to try these
principles for the first tinseupon a branch of our menu-
factures which had been encoevaged under a different
system, and which bad grownup to an important ex-
tent. They were now, however, to throw down the
protection to this wale, in which Prance notoriously
meadied es, with, undoubtedly, the exception of a duty
it SO per emu. Until this measure was resolved upon
we bad been labouring under great ignorance as to the
mate *I Abe silk trade in foreign countries. It was
always ht that our great skill and superior capital
would stetsilive us a superiority over the manufactures
of other Slaves. Persons concerned in the trade
had been equally ignorant upon this point with the Go.'
1111111itleht. Dot now it turned out;for travellers had been i
dent wall parts of Europe—that the manufacturers of I
ither cciunuteihad abundance of capital, in some places 1
more than we had, and that in respect to skill, every-
Ong we knew had been copied from them, and we I
were still greatly behind. So that instead f meeting
them in the market with the advantage of skill and ca. I
pieta, it was found that we possessed less skill and no I
roperiority in capital at all. The capital employed in
the town of Basle, it was found, would buy Coventry I
oat and out. lie contended that it was most satisfac-

foxily made out, that we-were in a state of disadvantage
regard to other countries, under which we were not
le to enter into competition with them. He would not
trouble the Rouse by the details 6y which this was
proved, but state the result of all the examinations upon
the subject. A list of prices had been obtained front
Lyons, Zurich, end Bade; but for the purpose of proving
the faet, goods bad beets purchased at the prices,.and
with the permission of the Government brought to this
country. The conclusion to which they came was,
that at Lyons the difference of prices was forty-
five per cent. In Switzerland, the difference was
from fifty-five to sixty per cent. upon plain goods,
and from sisty to one bundled upon others. This was
the result of all the inquiry the parties were able to
make, and to meet this disadvantage, our mauttfectti,
rers were to be protectei by a duty of thirty per cent.
which in reality would be reduced to twenty. He knew
nothing of the silk trade himself, but he received this
information from Gentlemen of uedoubted,respeetabi-
lity. There were some facts, however, upon which the
House could judge for itself ; and when they found that
this difference in prices was the same as the difference
in the cost of subsistence the question resolved itself
into the means of subsistence, in the different countries.
Wages at Basle were said to be good when a man earned,
four shillings a week. The manufacturers of Lyons
and Switzerland laid the silks of Provence and kale at
eh. it back!, acrd meat therefore produce the article
cheaper than where such advantages did OK eiist.
But with regard to the question of, subsistence's, the
labourer in those countries, not only hid his bread
cheaper, but required less of it, than the labourer
here. His condition was much lower than the con-
dition of the English labourer, and the value of
his labour was 'therefore so much, the less. The
inquiry at Lyons led to the discovery that one ma-
nutactursr lodged and fed his labourers. It was
found that they were lodged in a large garret over his
factory, where they slept upon straw. With all the
ability of his Right Hon. Friend's speech, it had never
touched upon the point of ho or whether our silk
trade could be carried on agafftst that of France under
these circumstances. He was convinced shit it must
be driven out even of thehonse sserketr Rad that what
was now the cue with the silk manufacturer, would
bet eater happen to the co:tont:ado; the woollen reads,

Europe was for many years ,gaged „
oatural 'that the nation which had power to com•
maod the sea should else have a command of the foreign
markets. Such were the advantages which thiscotintry
inclusitely possessed is consequence of its ffideelsupe-
xiority. The reatiufactorers of. Rotten and other parts
of France entered into speculations of trade with great
hesitation, lest they should put their capital in jeopardy.
The advantage of markets, which her navy enabled
Britain to command, was not one which, he conceived,
very desirable for any nation "exclusively, Ati.ppstess
and it was one which every day's continuance of peace
wa* wearing away. Besides, its benefits were more
available to our cotton trade, and. to several other
branches, than to the silt tra!e. The manufacture of
silk had at all times been a favourite article of French
commerce; and, if ether circumstances were wanted to
dissuade the British Parliament from commencing their
alterations with the silk trade, the superiority attained
by the French manufacturers should be, sufficient. It
.'',
was also to be observed, that when•once a country had
Ira the start of others, and possessed the vantage.
gt pond in any one department of commerce, it was clif-,
Scutt in the extreme—almost impossible, to drive them
from it byeompetition.France now possessed the vantages
eland with regard to the silk trade, and England had
the superiority in the cotton trade; but how lone, he
would ask, would that superiority continue? The Hight,
flon.Gentleman, in the course of his reasoning, had com-
pletely evaded the main points of the question, ands
had not uttered a syllable on the subject of the Cord
Laws, though that was the very point to be considered.
'He would call upon the House' not to oppress, by their
enactments, the poor.labouring classes of the comnati-
nity, merely because they had it in their power to deal
with them as they pleased, while it was out of their
power to touch the Corn Laws. The measure respect-
ing the silk trade hid passed with the concurrence
perhaps of some of the manufacturers themselves, who
-disregarded its evil effects if put off for so long a period
as two years. But a great mass of the population were
In consequence at a stand, and the House was bound
to consider the question es it elected the country at
large, and not with reference to any particular set of
manufacturers. It was well deserving of attention,
that very serious apprehensions were just now enter-
tained by the public, as to ttio fearful consequences
which might probably attend the twain a great
number of operatives loose from employment at such a
Period as the present. Such dangerous results might not
be dreaded from nsistakin measures, if after the destrucs.
don of the silk trade its operatives could resort to any
other branch, as the cotton trade, for the means of sup-
port. But unfortunately, no such resourse existed, for
the cotton manufacturers were obliged to discharge
many of their workmen. One great error he perceived
in the measures of the Right Iron. Gentleman that he
made: all his experiments together; being t:tistaken,
as he certainly might be, what mischief most flew from
such a mode of proceeding. The Right flantourable
Gentleman had said, that he anticipated. a charge upon
his measures from whatever-113ifisNefs might =tun-
quently arise; bit that' he wee -prepared- to 'phew, that
it did not originate with him. -- fl could till the'
Right Hon. Gentleman that trade wile now languishing,
and that if measures were not taped to Ft-Swint 'inch
a consequence, that it would expire-latogether
two years. It bad been said, that the misfoitunet Of
the silk manufacturers followed front their overtradiog..
Thies eivertrading he did not look upon to be so great a
fault as it sras usually esteemed. He thought the name,
of unsuccessful trading would-have been More appro
priate. The fact was, there wa no such thing as over.
trading at all. It was admitted on all sides, thattkonsa-
nufacturers had no great stocks of goods upon, their hinds.
But -apprehending the effects of , the liatethey feared
to risk their capital, and to business was at a stand. If
the House would not put elf the question that night
they would and that there was no such thing as over-1
trading. Vie Right Hon. Gentleman had proceeded
without sufficient information, and that was good cause
for appointing a Committee to investigate the subject.
A letter which be held in his hand from the Mayor of
Macclesfield would strew how much the state of businessl
in that town had been misonderstood. In 1825 there
was a great *ant of bends io Macclesfield. The men
availed themselves of the Combination Laws, and struck ,
for wages; some children too who were articled for three
years quitted their employment. As an expedient two
or three silk throwsters advertised in the public papers
that 5,000 men were wanted, and this proceeding, with
a resolution among the masters not to employ each
other's men, had the effect of putting down the cos.
*taxation, and of bringing back the men to . their duty.
The advertisement was merely deigned- to answer
that purpose, -end it was successful. As to the mode
fts which it had been stated the two French Gentle-
lies were treated: by some msbufactitrers, the fact
was that in informer carne to the manufacturers
who desctibed the Frenchmen as smugglers of silli, the
manufacturers were naturally jealous of such an en-
crostchment, and on examination the silk appeared to
them to have been manufactured in France, though it,
was subsequently proved tahave been manufaCtured at
Spital6elds end Manchester. The gtaunds.at Auspiciop
.were, however, very strong, and one of the Frenchmen
was still a.manufacturer in Paris and' at LyOns. He
could bring a witness to'prove that that seine Gentle.';
man had offered goads an the Continent to.be conveyad,
to England,and said that they might essily.be smuggled:
He then made some observations an the-detective mode!
in which thc.charge of the manufacturers had been Inv;
vesoigated. The Right Honourable Gentleman, he said,
had cautioned the House against adopting retrograde
measures, and tirged that if they should now relinquish
their principles of trade, it would have the erect at,
making Ehrope shrink from ever joining them in a
similar measure at any future period. But he- (Mr.
Baring) would ask what would be the consequence if
they should fail ? let that event, what encouragement
would Europe be likely to conceive from they mea-
sures? If the- step they were about to take was a
proper one, they ought to proceed ; but, if there
were a danger of'failure, it would be infinitely Mere
dangerous to the cause of free trade than no step,at all:
If the measure be right, let it in Gun's name be done;
but if there be room for he;sination, the House should

. -
cake into its consideration the '(umber of poor who
must, whether the principlebV fierier wrong, be sa-
cr.ficretif to whose *Mit Alt

every consideration should be paid. Tie decisi .n „r
the question depends upon opin:on, and 'he era:Ulnas
upon which the whole hinges. and which should be
decided first, are put off to to e last. That ground is,
what should be the price of corn? Unit this is settled,
we are all working in the dark. This is well knots a
to the Right H in. Gentleman him elf, and he is. as
anxious to settle the question as any one else can be.—
, This, has/seer, be is ant of present able' tlrefeCt, lard be
wishes to hurry us to a conclusion before the .alecision
of the more important Matter. Upon this subject, he
(Mr. B.) would &wee! y tepeet what he had asserted last
year, that, wh tever may bt the intentions of the Go,
eernment, \whatever they may propcse to do or nut to
do, until the price of cowl* settled, not only the'norty
mercial but the agricultural property of the colons
will be sacrificed, and kept in a state of suspetise.—a
No man can know the value of his property, of
*hat he leaves o his family, until this -question
is set y.fiest. The situation of things would be much
better if his. Right Honourable Friend had 1144
nothing upon the subject—his silence •would be aeleaal
1 intelligible, but as long as it is known to the country
that the Right Hon; Gentleman, and the Noble Lord
at the head of the Government, have given it is.their
opinion that the state of the Corn Laws is not‘petane-
neat, so long will the agricultural and cootrttercial
property be uncertain in its value. He would meshes,
upon the House for the purpose of reading a pastrge
from an interesting letter addressed to the Secret ty of
State for the. Foreign Department, which atrpehs to
include in its consideration the entire elf the =present
question. The Hon. Member read an extract from the poblibAies
to which he alluded, stating, in substance, that it was easy Car the
mast enlightened statesmen to ennunit mistakes in their aria:sew
meets; that though it gave them much Mat, it was most dillica:i to
reconcile the claims of cotillictias interestt, anu place theta In a

Mr. HUSKISSON, in explanation, sa.d, teat he had
never known, or teen se...n the French Gea lens tf.atl-
luded to by the Hon. Memtier. It AAI a mist kr to
say that he bld never conferred with the parties who made the
charge of smuggling. He had conferred with them, and beer,-
in their presence his opiniou of their viaduct on failing is
sit* a charge.
Mr. DAVENPORT objected to the charge of kiwis.
sistency made upon those oho called for inquiry.—Had
they indeed called for a repeal HI the law, there. would
be some colour for the charge; but there could be an
inconsistency in examining whether their measures
tended to the destruction of thirteen thousand indivi:
duals, who before the enactment .of the present fatal
laws, enjoyed a prosperous state of trade. He thought
eat only two dawn of persons would be beneattel by the law as
it stood—namely the foreign manufacturers, and smugglers. Far
,Ws put, be had but one opinion on the subject fro* the beginning,
and therefore the charge of inconsistency could not apply to bias.
alai political economists might indeed be against him, but the.
Bras oa likable : and he could assure the former that What
pew in books did not always grow in gardens.
else Mr. C. GRANT thought e situation of the -Pa.. e
omy
tioners entitled them to the consideration of the House,
and whatever conclusion they might arrive at,it wind&
be with reluctance that they should act in cootradictiou
to the opinions of so numerous a body, and andee sock
circumstances. He regretted that the Hon. Gentleman
should have lent the weight of his greet talents to the
clamorous and idle crowd who exclaimed against the
measures of his Right Hon. Friend. But though it
was easy for the lion. Gentleman to vituperate the
measures of Government, he would ask the Honourable
Member, and all others.whia opposed thole measures—
what wat.thet- ahestssaive they propoted ?' He hoped an-

experience such stagnations as those now cr mplained of
