THE CASE OF THE Planters and Traders belonging to the English Sugar Plantations .

THAT the said Colonies are a Great Improvement to Navigation , a Great Benefit to England , by Exporting from hence thither vast Quantities of the English Manufactures , and Importing many Useful Commodities that are Exported again to Foreign Markets ; whereby they Contribute much to the Ballance of Trade , and either bring in Bullion to England , or supply the Payments , that otherways would require Money to be sent from hence to comply therewith .

THAT the said Collonies are under very Severe Hardships , from their Great Losses and Misfortunes of the last , and this present War .

THAT the present High Duty on Sugars , is also a Great Injury to that Trade ; and any the least Addition thereto , will most certainly be a Discouragement to the Industry of the Planters , and tend to the further Depopulation of the said Islands ; which consequently will be a general Loss to England and the Navigation thereof , and highly Advance the Collonies of the Dutch and French Nations , which thereby will be Encouraged to Encrease and Improve their Sugar-Making , and supply all Foreign Markets ; and so Occasion in time , the utter Loss of those Great Advantages that do accrue to England from the English Collonies .

For which Reasons , and very many others that might be Offer'd , 't is humbly hoped , that the Honourable the House of Commons , will Agree with the Committee in Exempting Sugars from the Two Thirds Duty .
