/ on the island, and other places OF inter
/ est, after which they met together for
adjournment.
/ AN the objects Of the Convention have
! been accomplished, the Constitution re-
vissd and needed reforms made.
! Resolutions were unanimously adopted
( during the session to the following effect :
Indorsing petition of Brewers Congress
/ OF United States to Senate and House OF
/ Representatives, praying for amendment
! of revenue laws relative to fermented
/ liquors, on the ground that they are I'M
practibie and complicated. Recognizing
! The Justice of imposing higher taxes Oh
| articles of mere luxury, especially those
I of a burtful character, but pronounclDg
malt liquors not only harmless, but
nutritious, and urging that as they
/ are the beverage OF the poor, they should
! b. made accessible at the cheapesVBates;
urging that dealers in malt liquors may
| bs Justly classed with dealers IN other ar
| ticIes of merchandise, not including wine
| or spirits. and should not be taxed as
dealers in spirituous liquors, or obliged
I TO keep books, as they are. The resolu-
I ton closed by arguing that as the
I suDplg of barley in the country is
not dual to the demand, the i'm
poh dusy on Canada barley ought
! TO he reduced or entirely removed, mas
much as it does not tend to stimulate the
koroduction Of any article equal to that Of
foreign growth, that. being imported
/ owing to the superior soil and climate OF
4 Canada for that purpose.
The resolutions .indorse the disposi-
I ton OF Congress to reduce The internal
/ taxation as eminently wise, aud ask that
| manufacturerg and dealers in malt II.
/ quors may participate in the relief as well
/ as others.
The session is followed by q grand
