eatland, amounted ton& less than A l 2,•14:0,000.—
This was an iminetoe taxation. if they added to this

fiend to amount to ten millions, a sum equal to the
shaleof our taxatiaa, on an average of ten years
Ferions to the war. The produce of the country
could not passibly sustain this—though it sustained it
fe times of prosperity it could not now. But what
lad been the effect of this extraordinary tax on the
coesumption tel barley ? He had taken an average of
the ten years preceding 1793, and also an average of
newt ten years, exaluding the two years of scarcity
saddle two US: years of plenty. The difference of the
mune consumption of between the first of these pe.
nods and the last, was 420 quarters of barley—that
is, there was consumed so much more of that article
noting the tint tell years, than during the last. But
tiarwas test the whole, for there was a difference of
two millions between the population of the one pea
Tian and the other. The consumption was in the one
case by ten millions of people, and in the other by
twelve. During the first ten years, the consumption
was 3,3'10,000 quarters; and the increase of two mil.

effect of these laws was to make the demand equal to
the supply, there - was at •the same time evidence to
prove, that the low prices did not arise from the
poverty of the country. as the exports and imports
kept increasing all the time. The Htmourable Gen-
aleman here read a quotation from a French atiaor,
inculcating on the nein!) the expediency of adopting
the laws, which ware in force in this country at that
time.—Unless, as that author had observed, we ele-
vated our view above' the production (if What was
barely necessary, that production would Often fall be-
low what was necessary. • We ought. therefore, to
look for a market beyond the home. market in a year
of abundance. He had; indeed, no great confidence
iu any great part of our supply, bang taken off by a
foreign market, because such was the wealth of this
country, and such the arnorlut of our taxation, that
the price of corn must necessarily be higher here than
in any foreign country, and except under particular
circumstances we could not sell our grain abroad.
Yet the Agriculturists of this country should Lel,
that the dernand was not limited to the home demand.
If a ;,runty fur a limited time would hay.: the effect'
of creating a demand, that bounty watild, in his
opinion, -he well bestoited ; and it *as his earnest
wish that the House should sanction some mea-
sure of this sort. lie, fur one, was desirous that
such a measure should • be adopted. bit there
WAS another consideration :—Stippoing there were
almost an impracticability in tioding a foreign
market, he should theft sty, the next possible
means of promoting and maintaining this extended
agriculture of the country was by appropriating the
surplus of a productive season to answer the delicien-
cies of an unproductive one. If the enterprize and
spirit of individuals would induce them to take this
up, it would of course be preferable to an iotetferenee
on the part of Government. But from alt the infor-
mation he had, there were no merchants likely so to
engage their capitals. The whole trade went on from
lean; to mouth. It was confi'aed to the grower and
consumer. What was the cense of this ? Th:Je was
a clause in the Corn Nil admitting the warehousing
of foreign Corn, duty free; and so long as the ward.
booting of foreign Corn, duty flee, was allowed, see•
could never expect any warehousing of our own—we
could. never exp...ct any appropriation of our own sur-
plus.produee to the most useful of all purposes, the
guarding against a defective harvest. lie recom-
mended, therefore. that that clause should In repealed.
He did not know that they ought not. instead, to go
further than this. He was as unwilling as possible to
demand any assistance from Government but he cer.
tainly thought that some application of the public
money should be made at the present moment. He
thought that advances shoulal be made to such per-
sons as should deposit their corn in public granaries,
and that the amount of the accommodation slituld
not exceed one half of the value of the Corn so depo-
sited, so that no risk of loss might be run. It did not
occur to him that there could be any material °Nee-
tion to this plan. He stated it as a measure arising
out of the necessities of the country, and a measure
from which the public could be no loser. That woich
was not wanted at the time could stand for the future.
We could not foresee what would be the produce at a
future harvest. If the Wit hat vest was detective, we
should have cause to rej,,ice that we bad such gratialin.
—The bounty ou expaii tation. and these storehouses,
would have the advantage ct inspiring into the
try some degree of confidence. It se.is necessary to
give that protection to the produce of the soul which
was afforded to ail other mantitactures.. It was by
the application of capital and indttusy that all land
produce WAS. aopired.as well as in theses! of tWier
manetactures. as.l to make people employ their ca-
pital 'in the suit, they ought to have the same advan-
tages as other mtittifacturers. They ought to have a
return corresponding to their capital and labour.—
Now, if such was, very properly, the policy of this
country. that no vise article of home manufacture
failed to have from the Legislature an ample prntec-
tion.—if not only all competition oh the putt of the
foreign manufactures was prevented by duties, but,
exportation encouraged by drawbacks. why Withhold
this protection front the manuf.icturer of corn ? W.is
it not equally necessary. There was no differethe
of feeling between the cultivator of the soil and any
other manufacturer ; he was. actuated by the :me
motives—he was stimulated by the same desire of his
own advantage. Bet the home produce was not
adequately protected against importation 1 abroad;
and on the retain ot peace a deluge had glowed tete
our markets, and absolutely destroyed all production
here. Cheese was one article—rape seed was
Though tie average importation luring Orel
war hid not been mote than 70u0 quarters, and all at
once last year it rose to between 80 and 93,000 qrs.
Besides this there were other seeds which might be
grown in this country, and for which we we. e now de-
pendent on foreign supply. Of linseed there bad
been .5 or 600,000 bushels imported yearly, though'
this seed, of better quality, might he grown in this
country. Mustard seed was also imported to a great
extent. by the cultivation of these seeds in this
coulltry, perhaps sixty thousand acres of the best
landw in the highest state of cultivation, would be
withdrawn hem tho.production of wheat, of which-
they now produced, perhaps, 180 or SUO,OOO bushels.
If the deMand should require It, this land might again
be turned to the cultivation of wheat. Unless, there-
fore, we chose to be dependent on foreign countries
for that whist' we might ourselves produce, a prohi-
bitory duty should belaid on the importation of these
articles. There wore other articles, the sudden influx
of which into ournarkets had• materially 'depressed'
them. Then were the produce of foreign pastures,
such as tallow, butter, cheese, and salt provisions.
which had been thrown in abundance into all parts of
the country. This importation had, however, most
severely elicited Ireland, of which some districts, hr
Lad been informed, were distressed „beyond belieit=—
(Neer.) Nothing, however, was incredible to those
mho saw the distresses of this country. There was
another Most impatient article. of agricultural pro-
duce of which the importatiukliad
prodigiously in.
creased—this was wool, on the importation of which,
it was true; there was a small duty with a 'drawback
on manufactured articles exported. This duty should
be much increased. for in the last year, the impel...
tation had increased from seven millions of ibs. which
it had been the year before, to" IS' or 16 nlll6Onser
It was to be recolected a few years ago the impor-
tation had only beeu three or 4 millions. GreaC par t
of the importation had been from. Germany. 'We
had actually drawn five millions ofpounds from places

whence formerly there had been no importation. It'
was not to be denied, that the ccimbined efforts of the
.Government were necessary to raiiFagricul• are from
its present depression—for if we looked at the subject
merely in a financial point of view, h iw vast ‘s as its
importance I He had endeavoured to calculue the
portion of the revenue which was derived fr.mi die
produce of the land. The whole amount of 'that
produce might be calculated at 228 millions, and the
taxes derived from if at G 8 millions. If the value of
the agricultural produce were reduced only one third
this would be a reduction of 22 *millions of revenue.
But the fackwas, since 1812 the value of agricultural
produce had been reduced to one-hlll. The conse•
quence was, The rent could not be paid by the occu-
piers of the land—for arable land now paid no rent

of the same source. The farmers had been in the
habit of consuming the articles on Which taxes were
laid, and even though their profits had ceased, they.
could not at once change their habiti' of consump•
tion. It teas in vain to expect to extract a large re-
venue from people in such a state—relief was urgent.
As so the Sinking Fund, if the country was note in
the state in which it had been presumed to b~ by the
Chancellor of the ExChequer, this war the time in

be manifest. And it was to the aivar Fa ,e of l j

The lianourable Member then moved that the
House should resolve itself into it'e. mmittee so cou-
sider the distressed state of the Agricultural interest.
Mr. FRANKLAND LEWIS seconded the .110...
tion, in th convictioh that, it was the duty of tbe•
!louse to find a remedy, if it could be. found, for the
distresses of the Landed Interest ; or at Ica.,t to ascer-
tain that there c,iuld be no possible reniedy : for he
was so well conviiir(A of the high spirit of the people
of this nation, that they world be resigned under any
privations, if they knew that their situation had bern•
howstly and seriously considered.—(/kar, /scar).—
He did not believe it possible to find a speedy and
complete remedy, but it was their duty to look at the
real state of the country, and to comider.ell the al4.
viation of which its distresses admitted. The coup-
' try had long been engaged in one pursuit, with one
object—that pursuit was war—the object victory.—
(Haan /rear).—That war was at an eed ; we were, as
lie hoped, in a secure peace, yet we were in distresses
which two years ago had not been at all foreseen.—
Even the latter years of the late war no one suspected,
•sittile the country had been making unexampled ea.
ertlons, that all was not vigorous and health:al. Yet
we had now to inquire whether; in the nature of these
extraordinary efforts there was not somethiag which
had been destructive to our system? For our present
distresses some had a short .way of accounting, by
saying they were occasioned by peace ; but if it only
did away with the idea, the Committee which had
been proposed would be of infinite importance. That
it was not 'peace alone which had produced the
change id the price. of Agricultural produce, might
be seen from the tables: of. prices in the first years of
peace, after the Seven Yvars and the Atherican war.
True it was, the change lioin war to peace had been
productive of some distress; a change from peace •to
war .would be productive of the same evil,.becausiall
changes by which numbers of persons were thrown
out of employment:ivere productive of 'distress. Go-
vernment having also withdrawn hom the market its
purchases for the Navy, made some ad,lition, to. the
depression of prices i but it was but small, tor as to
the army, no one could complain that it was mist large
enough—(Near, hear.) The main cause of our dis-
tress was to be found it this consideration—that the
late war, while it had been beyond all others glorious,
had been beyond all whets expensive. 'The ;facility"
with which enormous sunasof numey had-been raised,
had burthened Ls with a debt, the interest .of which
was forty mations a year. This, tberekre became a

at the Irate. Thus we were oblized, to provide per.
menently, during peace, sixty milli ins yearly. As
to the National llt.bt, respecLing the effect of which
there were so meaty different opinions, it apprised to
him, that as yet its esnet had merely been to tcansfer •
a certain pinion of the revenue of the enuntry to in-
dividuals.; but it obliged the State to raise so lard
an amount of taxes, that we had approached roarer
to the very limits of taxation than had been generally
imagined— (Hear, hear.) He hoped his view of the
subject was .iiise, ier lie loved his comma, in.() well
to conteiiplate,its distress but with pain and misery.
The utmost limit of the, power of transferring-the
property of the country to the Skate, might be de-
duced from two principles :-l. That all th• pro.
perty of the country Was the produce of its industty.
`2. That induery vect.ld &tit* when deprived of an
adequate reward. It might be also observed, that
there were two sources of proeerty—the profits ot
c.spital, and- the rent °fiend ; the utmost pitch to
which taxation could reach was, that both the profit
of capital and the rent of land should bi creature.'
to the State. But it was impossible that taxation
could, in ainy state of things, be carried so far.:--be.
cause a great part et rent was indispensibly laid out
en the land, and it was requisite that, the landlord .
I.ltould be rewarded for his, general superintend tnce
of his estate. The lowered con iitien to which litid-
lords could be reduced, was, that they should only P*
as stewards* 4 the land. By the property Tax Re.
turns it appeared that the rental of the country was
130 millions in 11?12, from this was talcui 63 millioas
of taxes—thus half of the whole rental of the country
had, in one shape or other, been tr in,ferred to the
State. Since that time the rental of the connity had
been in real value reduced one-third, but the razes
continued the saute. It this ealculattim was correct.
taxation cntili not be carried meat fattier than at

tat distress. It might be said; th i.t in a snort .tiar

—He agreed with hia_Honourable ?rifted. that much
of the distreseof the country bad also arisen trion
the state ot. our paper currency. ,It was since die
establishment of a currency without.a standard that
pi ices.had been raised and had fallen back so rapidly.
' ['he Country Bankers, from their facility of issuing
their stamped paper, had made loans to the Farmers,
which, on the appearance of distress, they had ,with-
drawn—and now even if the Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer could lend them 14 millions they would not
lend, it farthing to the Partners. For the same reason
the fundliolder would not turn his capital to agrie.it.
tare, because farming was now a losing trade. The
Chancellor oldie Exeheqeer therefore was deceived is
celcoleiing that the money disengaged by theapera-
oka of the tinkiug Fund would be applied to the re-
' kwf of Abit.4gricultaral isiteress. A primary measure
Nitiould be* to reduce our corsvocy, if hot to the foe-
nter standard, at least to some standard or other—for
' a currency without a standard aggravated the evils if
the country, when our affairs were declining, though
it increased our apparent wealth in days of prosperity.
He recommended the repeat of the taxes which par-
ticularly affected the landed interest, and particularly
the Malt Tax, . which was a two-fold operation
on the consumption and. the produce of farmers.—
The operation of this tax might be perceived from the
comparative quantity of malt made in the year in
1 which the day was increased, and the following
year. In 1803, two tbilliggs a bushel was added to
the Tax; in that year thirty:. millions and a halt.ot
bushels of barley were malted. In the following year
only 22 millions of bushels were made into malt, and
this quantity had not encreased pp to. 1811 In
1815, when barley tell, the quantity malted: SW- 27
millions of bushels. If this duty weremst altogether
abiedoned,. yet a reduction. of it might . increase its
productiveness. The Honoazable Gentleman then
proceeded to remark. on the restrictioason the expor-
Lanni and carriage of wool, which he thought should
be abandoned; as also, the prohibition of theecultiva-
tton of tobacco, to which the soil of this country was
adapted,, This plant might.: he thought, be culti-
vated bete, being subjected to the. same species of
duty as that on hops. He then proceeded to animad-
vert on the present state of the.poor laws, which, lie
thought, required revision—the measure which he
should recommend Was, that .the objectsec of tilts
species of charity should be better de and the
tel extended only to decrepit 'and aged.pessonst
