That, therefore, this meeting, In common wirth thje manufacturers, view with alarm the propostitoss of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, to allow the Importation of foreign wrought silks, as tendi !ng most mnaterially, if not wvholly, to destroy thie home umanufacture, being convinced that, fromn the facility of obtaining the zawv material ,and the cheapness of labour abroad, England In this importanit branch of trade, although assisted biy the hig protectinig dutiesproposed, cannot compete with foreigners, and t Is meeting considers, that. If ma- nutfactured silks are, uinder the proposed restrictions, permitted to he imported, great facl)ity will thereb be given to smuggling. That, by the protection affisrdedy to the silk trade, tbe art of silk dying has attainetd great perfection; but the silkdyers being w holly dependent on the cunssmrptiornof home manufactured silk, they con- amer ths lntrodssetion of ioreign wrought silks highly Injurintis, if not whoIlly rftuimss, to. their interest, and, In consequence of the re- dulCtionl eremPIDYMtnt;WhJCh must necessarily follow, many hundred oersnnetyg I ~ .at sJciJw b ht.alis h Thatthevarousarticles used' in the art of silk dyling bear a much higcc'rie hee tanIn other countries;- added to which the great dulr~ue i '-e piceoflabour precludes the Fxiglish sfikdyers fron; COtet,0g nto ny cmpettioni with foreigniers.
