Book excerpt: Excerpt from Two Speeches on Conciliation With America and Two Letters on Irish Questions In 1733 the Molasses Act laid duties in the American colonies upon molasses, sugar, and rum imported from any but the British West India Islands. The agent of New York in England protested that this was divesting the colonists of their rights as the king's natural-born subjects and Englishmen, in levying subsidies upon them against their own consent. In 1732 the American colonists were forbidden to export hats; in 1750 they were forbidden to erect mills for slitting or 101 ling iron, or furnaces for making steel.
