view Of the increasing seriousness Of the
Situation, your Petitioners are still not with
out hopes hat q move may yet DO made Ivy
the Government to couuteraot the distress
in the West Indies; and tho present seems u
favourable time to put forward another APP
peal, ~ it is apparent that other Industries,
besides the Sugal Industry ,are suffering from
the effects Of the ubiquitous Foreign Bounty
System.
Your Petitioners I'll, refore hnmbly pray
that your TordsLip viii be leased to take
the foregoing Statements into your earnest
consideration, aud place them before Her
Majesty's Ministers So that such steps may
be taken us may appear to be best calculated
to obtain an abolition of Bounties granted
by Foreign Governments on the Export Of
Sugar; and failing the attainment Of that
object by diplomatic negotiations, that a
proposal lie brought before Parliament to
impose a CONTRIBUTING Duty on all Foreign
Sugar imported into the United Kingdom,
equal to the Bounty it may have obtained on
Export"
Reading these quotations in the light Of
subsequent events, it is pleasant to know
that at least one Minister has been found
without attempting a remedy; but it is
Iegr0ttable to learn that his desire and his
efforts to help US are being thwarted and
opposed by other Ministers, Who are quite
content, 1t seems, to see the West Indies
totally destroyed, rather than place their
popularity in jeopardy by doing these
long-sufferinX Colonies all act Of simple
justice.

(Demsrara Argosy, 9TH FeJ.)

In looking ever some documents OF past
years, we have come upon the etltion
addressed lo'the Right Honournhle E"rl
Granville K.G., Secretary Of State fer The
Colonies in 1886, or l. years ago, by the
Planters, Merchants and general Public Of
this Colony, on the question Of the Sugar
Bounties. II is exasperating t" think That
the injustice against which We then com
planned has been allowed TO continue to
Qnaw into the vitals of the Sugar Industry
from 1856 until today, the Sugar Colonies IN
the meantime sinking deeper and deeper
into debt and distress, the area Of cultivation
rapidly decreasing and the lNhO rers finding
their work and their wages becoming less
and less. Our owu Colony has been able
to lold together better than some others,
thanks in q great measure to the manly
determination Of estates owners to hold on
to the sugar industry as long rs heir inlNate
means would enable this to DO dome, IN the
hope hat relief would sooner or Inter be
granted. Here are Some Of tho sentiments
Contained in the 1886 Petition
That in presence of these serious and
alarming facts. it is matter Of surprise to
vour Petitioners land they doubt not 10 the
whole world besides) that Her M"jeSty's
Cover nment should practically stand "Ioot

their eyes Sugar producing Colonies are
being gradually brought to II stat" OF 'ui".
Deputations are courteously received; but
no real effort has apparently been made in
the direction If vigorous diplomatic repre-
sensations or Otherwise, and your petitioners
eau hardly be expected TO be satisfied
instead, by theoretical essays put forth Oy

tho practical meaning Of events passing
around them.
