more perfect state of security than at the end
of the American war; and at that time init. peace
estableshmint was only two Millions. Above all
things, the agricultnrnl interests had. a direct claim
`for relief, which ought to be retrospective as well as
prospective, otherwise the farmers would never be
able to go on with their business. The original source
of the present depression of agriculture certainly was
the temptation which high prices held out to increased
cultivatiod ; but the principal cause was iheswithdraw-
ing of eoortnous sums from the circulation of the
country —sums amounting altogether to twenty-five
millions. Every one knew this diminution-of-Capital
must have produced a corresponding diminution in
the prices of all commodities. It was necessary then
that webhould look's() some reliet from the effectsoot
these suddpn fluctuations. His chief object in rising
was-to say, that whatever relief was afforded to the
farmers, in point of the Property Tax, ought to be
retrospective. .
Mr. BAKING differed entirely from the Chan-
cellor of the Excfiequir as tolhe effect of his Corn
Bill of last year. It not cm-ly'did no good, but it did
a great injury to the agricultural interest; because
while it was in agitation. it caused great numbers of
people to spegulate in importing great quantities of
corn. He eensiilered the two paltry baits of a re.
darted Tenatitry Tax and the exemption from the
Hon. Tait', as nothing more than a fallacy held out
to combity Ger.tlemen, to get their consent to the
matinees establishment that was now about to be
kept up. Had the itight• Honourable Gentleman
Yost the great battle lately fooght, and had to straggle
through another year of war, we might be induced
to agree to his present projects; but last year there
were sums voted. sufficient to defray all the expenses
of that.war ; and what occasion was there for such
an expenditure as was now proposed, when we were
in a state of peace and security, and when France'
was in a state sn powerless that she never was so be
fore at any period of lier history ? And yet with all
this security around us, the country was called on
for a peate establishment seven times greater than'
ever she had before. It such an establishment as they
heard proposed that night took place, there would
be a general spirit of discontent throughout the whole
country.
Mr. BRAND said. that with respect to the Pro-
perty Tax, he considered Parliament stood pledged
to its abolition. The weight with which it pressed
on the agricultural, and indeed on, every other class
of the community, was too severe to be borne, and
' therefore the House and the country were bound to
oppose it.
Mr. C. P. YORKE argued in favour of the Re-
I solutions.
