The speech of the Prime Minister on Friday (lat May) makes the position of the Gprorament with regard to the corn daty mora incompre honsible than ever. Upon his own admission the tax is noither a burden to the consumer nor a benefit to the farmer. Then why throw away a revenua' of £2,500,000 a year by repealing, duty which, on his own showing, is perfectly barmless, and which, he says, in offset, pelthur injured nor benefits any one? That is this question which the public and numbers of his mpporters are asking but on that point he Icaves us still in the dark and more bewildered then ever, Again, with regard to my letter addressed to the Chambers of Agrisaltare, I ́own that". I find it exceedingly difoult to follow his caning. He objects to my TO. CAMERON VILLAS, PRAK asking the chambers for their support. why did I go to the chambers? For Two Months from middle of June.

But he deprecates also "the lies of argament," which he declares "Mr. Chaplin has used upon this occasion, because he has appealed to the Chambers of Agriculture to oppass the abolition of the tax in their interest, and the only inference

I venture to think that it would have been more to the purposs if the Prime Minister had udeavoured to meat in his aposch eneh objections as things which are raised by my correspondout and by myself in the lotter which I addrased to the chambers

The issues I raised were perfectly plain, and they were as follows:-I objected to the repeal of the daty, because it was imposed last year as a permanent tax and as part of a deliberato policy, the object of which was to widen the basis of car taxation; because it was supported by the Government and by the party by argu- monte which have never yet been sucessfully suxwered, and which have been justified since by the result; because it provides a revenue of £2,500,000 a year with the smallest omeant of injury to any ous; because no one will bene£t by its repeat and we lose the opportunity of giving a gennine boon to the ocasumer, aud especially, to the pooror classes, by a substantial reduction of the duty on tes; and, lostly, because the Chancellor of the Exchequer, by bis inconsiderate nation, has placed his party, the best and most loyal supporters that over a Government had, in a thoroughly falso and Painful position.
