of Lord LoveurooL, who (by the bye) it perhaps, *l4
wisest man among bis Majesty's Ministers. His Loa-
ship urged another argument to prove that tax-
ation is not the cause of Agricaltural Distress.-1
" Agriculture" (he said) " was most thriving daring
the last years of the war; since which time, taxes hare
been reduced." His lordship forgot, or kept out cal
sight, a small circumstance which snakes this argot.

(luting the war than now, and, therefore, taxation is,
comparatively, heavier now than it was then, although
some taxes have been taken off oar shoulders. Lord
Lovearoot. says—. What the agriculturist wants, is a
market; unless you give him that, you administer no
relief to his wants ; and what effect could the ream-
thou of the expenditure have in effecting this object ?"
nut it is not so market which the farmer wants nocany
higher price. He sells corn and cattle eailarb, aid
for price enough ; all be wants is, that lois oattleg

enable him to live. There are but tirtse ways el

will no longer neglect Isis, in reducing his personal
expenditure : and Ministers we also teat, will be, at
length afraid (if it cannot be ashamed) of shrinking
from theirs. We may 'sic Ministers--why
Land-owners hear the hurtles of reduction of rest,
'and Government refose its share? But if rents and
taxes were duly redneed, the result would he this—
prices of Agricultural produce would be low. and
Manufacturers and Merchants would fairish. and rite
present prices would meanwhile remunerate the Pat.

cause of Agricultural Distress, but is a cause of

who makes his Lordship's shoes. •
