Such was the recommendation of Lord Devons Com

He called upon the House recolect that In every

proposed to give to the community social relief He
therefore hoped that, before this law rejected, both

He concluded with two observations-one connected
with our foreign and commercial policy and another
with our domestic policy In making these great reduc

facure OF foreign countries he could give the House no
guaranty that foreign countries would follow exam

high duties. smuggling He could not promise them that

were doing. On the contrary, he might be told
that many countries which had benefited by the reaxa-
ton OF our duties their commodities had applied
higher rate OF duties TO our goods.
He relied on that fact encouragement proceed

and the common interest OF the people and the Gov

publications in the United States Naples Norway Swe-
den Austria and Hanover With respect to our domes

disturb the prosperity which had lasted for nearly
three years 1t had coexisted with the Corn Law of
lSi2what reason was there 10 disturb III His answer
was that up to October last all those indications Of pros
perity did exist but since that time there had been in
dcaons of sympathy in the manufacturing districts be-
tween employment and the price of provisions. What
had occurred since October 1875 otthe grounds
on which he had determined bring forward his present
proposition.
the proposals be he had to offer for the u!
innate adjustment OF this great question He believed
that there AT present between the master manuiac
Irers and the operatives sympathy which did not pre-
vail in 1872 and which led both of them TO the concu-
sion that these ought be altered. But although
tina, the case there nothing but general content
loyalty and confidence their part in the wisdom OF
the Legislature. But because there was calm and no CO.
ercon he entreaed hon gentlemen TO bear in mind that
the aspect Of affairs might be changed They might
have worse harves and therefore they ought TO avail
themselves Of adjustment on this question which
ultimately be made, and which could not be long
delayed without endangerng the peace and security OF
the empire.
He recommended his proposition to the calm cousd-
GRAFTON OF the House in the hope that would In the
language of Her Majesty speech promote friendly feel
ngs between different classes, provide additional secu-
rty for the continuance of peace and maintain content
and happiness at home By increasing the comforts

pie Sir R. Peel concluded his address at I'VE minutes
past o'clock, amid loud cheers.
Sir r Peel again TO suggest that the discussion
his resolution should be taken that day week His
measure involved great remission of taxation, and,
therefore. dealcation of the Revenue Besides it in
CURED annual chorge amounting at least To 100000
Mr. : O'Brien suggested 10 Sir r. Peel the propriety
demonstrating whether this day fortnight would not be
an early day for the consideration Of this scheme The
voices OF the farmers OF England could not reach the
House in less than that time.
Mr. Hume hoped that Sir r. Peel would not yield the
postponement now required.
Sir X. Peel asked Mr. Hume TO allow him to conduct
his own affairs He then suggested that the House should
enter on this discussion Thursday week
Mr. Miles begged for farther time. Why not take the
discussion on Monday week
Sir R. Peel assented to that suggestion but informed
the House that he should then proceed de die in diem
with the discussion OF this question He could not
actly declare the loss which the Revenue would expe
rence by the adoption of his proposition. He thought
last that by alteration in the Excise Duties be
should lose One Million but the Revenue from that
source was good as ii before the alteration.
He expected lose Four Millions by the reduction of
the Customs Duties but nothing of the kind occurred.
lie was therefore. unwilling TO make estimate OF the
loss which would accrue 10 the Revenue. The charge
which his scheme would impose the Consolidated
Fund would be annual charge of $4,000
