Schutz der übrigen Industrien. 517 ländische, namentlich deutsche Concurrenz und man glaubte, es liesse sich der Gewinn der Bergwerke amtlich constatiren und feststellen. Zeugen von beiden Seiten wurden verhört. Schliesslich erklärten zwei Sachverständige, nicht aus theore- tischer Vorliebe für Eisenhandel, sondern in Folge ihres Ein- blieks in die praktischen Verhältnisse, dass es am besten sei, den Kunferhandel einfach ganz frei zu geben.!) ') A, a. O. Schluss des Reports: Thomas Williams. Qu. What do you think would be the effect. on the mines and trades of this country of making the trade in copper per- fectly free? — To give a decided opinion upon this question it is neces- Sary that the interest and enconragement of the miners, manufacturers and merchants Should be duly weighed and considered; that the advantages of the copper improvements in our navy and trading ships, so essential to our great and inestimable commerce, should be duly attended to, and that the revenues consequently arising to the state from the increase and pro- sperity of these branches of british industry should be fully understood, Not having time to enlarge as I might upon the different points that 0c- cur in contemplating this important subject, I can but shortly observe that after full twenty years close attention and indefatigable labour in the ge- neral trade from the working of the mines to the ultimate sale of the copper at the home and foreign markets as well in‘ the cakes or ingots as in the various manufactured states for the numberless uses of the brass Mmakers, the Birmingham and Sheffield trades, the London, Liverpool and Bristol coppersmiths, braziers and other minor manufacturers through the Kingdom; after studying also the produce and effects of all foreign mines, markets and manufactories during all that time and making imports of topper every year previous to the present war from all the foreign mar- kets where I could do it without serious loss, with a view of gaining au« thentic knowledge of the state of the trade there, I am of opinion: that a perfectly free and open trade out of and into this country would be more beneficial both to the country and to the mines, to the trade, traders and manufacturers of every description, than subjecting them to any restraints under the idea of regulations however well intended; and with this idea strongly impressed in my mind I should rejoice that the whole trade should be laid perfectly free and open, not irom a wish of advantage to myself, as I am desirious and determined at the close of this present year to take my leave of the trade. Ebenso antwortete Mr. Vivian auf dieselbe Frage: I have no diffieulty in saying that, in order to shew that is not our Wish to shackle the manufacturers and to put an end to all controversy a free export and import of copper would be a measure in my opinion
