disposition in our parliament lo meet con gress half way in fettering the commercial intercourse between the two countries though at the same time it will he remark ed that they have not proceeded with an e- qual decree of justice or regard for individ uals who might be affected by the important measures under consideration our act of parliament comes upon the merchant una wares and takes effect from the moment it receives the royal assent while the act of congress gives timely notice t ail persons engaged in commercial speculations and does not go into operation before the first day of september the policy ofthe provisions of our act may justly be questioned if it be intended by imposing prohibitory duties on american produce to assist our farmers it will completely fail of its object while amer ican tiouv meets the hour of upper canada in free and open competition in the markets ofthe lower province if it he intended by doubling the duties on american manu factures to augment the revenue it will also prove nugatory for while it will greatly di minish the amount of importations entered at the custom house it will add powerfully to the temptations for smuggling a demor alising practice which already exists among us and which cannot easily be detected on account of the facilities presented for it by our extended frontier- ave have no objections to see a duty imposed on american hour and other produce of the soil so as to give our farmers an advantage in our own markets when such articles arc raised in great abun dance in the province or suffer a temporary depreciation in consequence of this supera bundance but though we are anxious to see the farmer protected we cannot approve of any measure tending to leave the rcsl of the community at their mercy with regard to the price ofthe necessaries of life the duty to which fresh beef is subjected appears unre eessary as well as unjust aud oppressive 011 particular classes for notwithstanding the as sertion of one of the members from tins dis trict it is a well known fact that there is not a sufficient quantity of heef in the country for its consumption and it might perhaps be asserted without danger of refutation that the bay of quiuty with all its resources could not supply his3iajestys troops at this post six months it would unquestionably he proper to lay heavy duties on this article when our own country abounded with it but at the present moment when our stock of cattle has not recovered from the effects of the late war the duty often per cent will 0- perate as a tax on his majestys government besides bearing hard on the poorer classes iu the town because our supplies are prin cipally drawn from the state of new york sc might enlarge on the errors committed by the hasty
