“. . . The Ministry . . . procured a new Act [in 1767] to be passed, laying Duties upon Tea, Glass, Paper, and Painters Colours. This Act was not more unreasonable than many other Acts which had been submitted to for many Years past, and which, even at this Time, they made no Objection to. . . .

“As to the Glass in particular, the Duty was so trifling, that it would not have enhanced the Price of it to the Purchaser. . . . The true Reason of Opposition was this: The Inhabitants of the Colonies were a Race of Smugglers. They carried an extensive Trade with the Dutch, not only in Holland, but very greatly with the Dutch Settlements in the West Indies. . . . The Smugglers then, who were the prevailing Part of the Traders in the Capitals of the several Provinces, found it necessary for their Interest, to unite in defeating the Operation of the Act.”
