A PROPOSAL To Raise Forty Thousand Pounds Per Annum : Without any Trouble or Expence in Collections , And the Nation shall gain One Hundred Thousand Pounds Yearly , by the Payment thereof . A Repeal of the Law made in the Twenty Fifth Year of King Charles II . that took off Aliens Duties .

BY a Law made in the Third Year of Henry the Seventh , Anno 3. Hen . 7. cap . 2. all Persons that are not the Natural-Born Subjects of England , are injoyned the Payment of Aliens Duties , notwithstanding Denization or Naturalization by Act of Parliament .

BY a Law made in the same Year , it is Enacted , That whosoever shall Enter , or cause to be Enter'd and Goods in any other Merchants Name than the true Merchant-Owner of the same , 3 Hen . 7. c . 7. he shall Forfeit his Goods , be Imprison'd , and Fin'd at the King's Pleasure .

IN the Second and Third Years of Edward VI . it is Enacted , Anno 2. & 3. Edw . 6. cap . 22. That if any Person shall Enter any Goods , whereby the King shall lose this Custom , her shall Forfeit all his Goods and Chattels Personal ; One Moiety to the King , the other to him that shall Sue for the same .

IN the First Year of Queen Elizabeth Aliens Duties are called , Anno 1. Eliz . cap . 13. the Ancient Revenue of the Crown , and it is there Enacted , That if any Person shall Ship any Goods upon a Foreign Bottom , he shall pay Aliens Duties .

BY these good Laws , our English Merchandize and Navigation was preserved ; which are render'd ineffectual by the aforesaid Law , which took off Aliens Duties ; and our English Merchandize and Navigation to Holland , Flanders , Germany , Dantzick , &c. is hereby almost totaly lost . So that an Exact Payment of Aliens Duties will undoubtedly advance the foresaid Sum of Forty Thousand Pounds per Annum .

BY This Law the Merchant-Alien is upon a better foot than the English Merchant . At Danzick , an English Merchant is not permitted to Sell his Goods to Strangers coming into the Town , but to the Burgers themselves ; when the Merchants of Dantzick can send for their Goods to England upon as easie Terms as the English .

The English Merchant at Hambro can't sent his Goods out of the Town to any of the great Marts in Germany ; when the Merchants of Hambro and Breme can send to England for their Goods , and have them as Cheap as the English Merchant , and then send them up to those Marts , which is now practised .

A Dutch Merchant can hereby imploy a Stock in England by an Agent of his , living in a Garret , at a Packer's House ( and pay to Taxes , when the Burthen is very heavy upon the Native Subject ) and Under-Trade the English Merchant .

By this Alteration our English Manufactures have been much debased , to the lessening their Consumption abroad , and many severe Losses have fallen upon our Manufacturers .

I. BY the Repeal of this Law English Merchants will be incouraged to Trade again , which instead of One per Cent , ( which is now the Dutch Commission ) can't be supposed to bring less than Six per Cent . Profit to our own Nation , which will soon make up above Fifty Thousand Pounds per Annum profit to our own Nation .

II . OUR English Ships will hereby Earn Fifty Thousand Pounds per Annum more than they now do . Not one English Ship in Fifty is now imploy'd in carrying our Plantation Goods , Woollen-Manufactures , Lead , Tin , Leather , &c. to Holland , Breme , Flanders and Germany . The Imployment of Ten Thousand Seamen will hereby be gained , which will be as servicable to the Nation upon any Extraordinary Occasion , as if kept in the Kings Pay ; with many other Advantages , Which is Humbly Offered to the Consideration of the Parliament .
