M. Miller OF Pc. hntaD, said, that he would
after the adoption Of the general resolution re-
ierreh 10 the Committee on Agriculture and
Manufactures, endeavor to give that commit q
some more specific duty, than that which had
been already assigned them.
After reading tho resolution, (Which folloysb
Mr. Miller remarked, that il was due fron him
TO the House. 10 state c ,ncisDly, what were his
objects in presenting this resolution. II must
have been observed, by all persons at all ntleD.
tive TO our markets, that the 1our manufactur-
ed al the Richmond mills. was usually quoted at
from 81 y TO 90 cents higher THAI the nou
made AT the upper mills, from wheat Of exactly
similar quality. Mr.. Miller said. he had been
informed from authority, which he was not al
Liberty TO doubt, ihst II was the practice or
some OF the Richmond millers to- braod tho
names Of their own mills only on lour of We
~ superior quality, Tor which they would ROUGH,
and TO put ano her brand on inferior Hour, .,
which II would he c.assed IN other markets W, IA
the canal or upper country flour. This .rrtau-
ly was matter worthy OF enquiry, aud n Iru
deserved a remedy.
Mr.. Miller said, another object he had in view
was, TO establish other grades OF -four besides
those now designated by law. IN New York.
MS Mr.. Miller had been informed, there were
Ioaf grades OF superior nour-,uperfne aud eG-
TIA uperiae-hne aud extra finely which
arrangement, the New York -four was in higher
repule than tina, OF any other market Ia the
Union Sometimes II would happen, that a We.
~ slight shade OF difference would reduce dour
tom superlne to fne, and tho consequence was
a dliDinutlon IA price, Of 90 cents per barrel,
equal 10 10 cents per bushel, on whcat--whsn.
Il another intermediate grade was established,
the loss would not be more than half az &c at.
Mr.. Miller said. another OBJ CT he had in
| view was, 10 transfer the power OF appointing
| the Flour Inspector at Richmond, fro II the
county court Of Henrico, IA body however res,
pectable, totally irresponsible TO tile gren body
Of the people, whose interests wero Involved
! to the Executive, department directly nne
Dsble to the Representatives of the Common-
wealth.
Mr.. Miller said, he was impressed also with
the belief tina, II would be better TO have Two In
spector, Of flour at Richmond, always to nct,
aud third one 10 be called IN, when the Two
d,agreed. The salary, Mr.. Miller observed,
now allowed 10 one Inspector was sufficient for
two lie understood hat two cents were allow
ed on every barr ei inspected. besides the hour
taken out in boring. which was deemed egnal
TO one cent moIe--uow last year there were
inspected 235, OOO barrels, and hence would be
seen the large emoiument attached TO THIS of.
fee Besides tue quantiIy OF -four was incrra.-
lux and would he, probably 250,0J0 barrels
tins wear Mr.. Miller said that the mode now

.pector vas vert burdensome, and in many ca

Ell ~ ~ Jays upon the hppiicaif0n OF the par
~ Hggrieved, AMI sometimes the person thus
aggr,e, ell, could not obtain The information and
make the arrangements before that time had

mons W hich he had thrown out tor the conside-
ration of the House; although some of them
NIGH, not be correct. he hoped he had said
enough, to induce reception aud reference Of
| the resolution
