their own provinces. The complaints of the petition
ers are founded-1 On the heavy duties West In
dia produce in England 2 The low price of their
aple commodities there. 9. The introduction of SUI
gar from the East Indias in competition with theirs.
The interruption of their former direct supplies from
the United States. Sugar the principal commodity OF
