This evidently unrecorded broadside recounts the proceedings of a Convention. held at the State Capitol in Springfield to determine the feasibility of a regional program to advance the cultivation of sorghum or Chinese sugar cane. Notice of the Convention was reported in the Sangamo Journal / Illinois State Journal for 30 December 1857: "It is confidently believed that the Chinese Sugar Cane is well 'adapted to our soil and climate' and that it can be successfully and profitably cultivated and manufactured into molasses and sugar." The Agricultural Committee submitted information from growers and processors in Kentucky Pennsylvania Ohio and Indiana. The Mechanical Committee could not produce an acceptable proposal for a processing machine and the Convention adjourned with a recommendation that Illinois delegates gather more information for a future convention. Efforts to stimulate the growth of northern sugar cane continued through the succeeding decades. As of October 2019 not located on OCLC or the online sites of AAS NYPL Newberry Harvard Yale U MI.

1764WRCAM54454ALondon: Printed by Mark Baskett.and by the Assigns of Robert Baskett 1764. 2275-299pp. Folio. Loose gatherings stab holes at gutter margins. Near fine. An outstanding copy of the rare official Parliamentary printing for the "Grenville Budget" of 1764 accompanied by three later acts amending regulations set forth. This budget act contains the so-called "Sugar Act" which was the first deliberate and direct attempt to tax the American colonies in order to pay for the British military presence in North America. The Sugar Act levied a tax of three pence per gallon on the importation of foreign molasses molasses from the British West Indies would be exempt from the tax. But the proposed legislation did far more than tax sugar products. It also detailed more foreign goods to be taxed including certain wines coffee pimiento cambric and printed calico and further regulated the export of lumber and iron. The enforced tax on molasses caused the almost immediate decline in the rum industry in the colonies. The final part of the title of the Act was Grenville's response to the British Customs Board's estimate that the annual revenue from American customs was a paltry Ã‚Â£1800. Grenville whose guiding principles were strict adherence to legality and financial solvency found this state of affairs to be intolerable. Existing trade regulations designed to raise greater revenue would be more rigidly enforced with incentives offered to naval officers and customs officials. This Budget Act of 1764 set the tone for many of the British policies and measures that followed. A chain of events was set in motion which would lead step by step to the American Revolution. Reaction in the colonies was not long in coming. In Massachusetts James Otis and Samuel Adams fired pamphlets at it; the merchants of Boston banded together to protest; other colonial writers from Newport to Williamsburg added their voices; in England Thomas Pownall and others defended the step. All understood that a new era had dawned with the so-called Sugar Act. The present copy is accompanied by three further scarce acts of Parliament related to the statutes set forth by the Sugar Act. The first from 1765 alters the duties imposed on sugar imports. The other two from 1777 and 1779 made amendments to address penalties for smuggling sugar from America into Great Britain during the Revolution. They are as follows: 1 AN ACT FOR MORE EFFECTUALLY SECURING AND ENCOURAGING THE TRADE OF HIS MAJESTY'S AMERICAN DOMINIONS.FOR ALTERING THE BOUNTIES AND DRAWBACKS UPON SUGAR EXPORTED. caption title. London 1765. 2799-818pp. ESTC N56877. 2 AN ACT TO EXPLAIN AND AMEND SO MUCH OF AN ACT MADE IN THE FOURTH YEAR OF THE REIGN OF HIS PRESENT MAJESTY AS RELATES TO THE PREVENTING OF CLANDESTINE CONVEYANCE OF SUGAR AND PANELS FROM THE BRITISH COLONIES AND PLANTATIONS IN AMERICA TO GREAT BRITAIN.
