Abstract:
Such, then is the nature of the depression in the linen business,
and I propose to show
1st. That for this depression our system of levying taxation by
customs' duties is responsible.
2nd. That customs' duties are indefensible
(a) On the principles of free trade;
(6) On the maxims of taxation generally received; and
3rd. I shall suggest, subject to your better judgment, what is best
to be done in order to get rid of a system so injurious to us, and in
particular to develop the linen trade, and thus give prosperity to
Ireland.
