I charge therefore to this new and unfortunate system the loss not only of peace, of union, and of commerce, but even of revenue, which its friends are contending for. It is morally certain that we have lost at least ^ million of free grants since the peace, I think we have lost a great deal more ; and that those who look for a revenue from the provinces, never could have pursued, even in that light, a course more directly repugnant to their purposes. Now, Sir, I trust I have shown, first on th...at narrow ground which the honourable gentleman measured, that you are likely to lose nothing by complying with the motion, except what you have lost already. I have shown afterwards, that in time of peace you flourished in commerce, and, when war required it, had sufficient aid from the colonies while you. pursued your ancient policy ; that you threw everything into confusion when you made the Stamp Act ; and that you restored everything to peace and order when you repealed it. I have shown that the revival of the system of taxation has produced the very worst effects, and that the partial repeal has produced, not partial good, but universal evil.
