I Maintain That The Existing Corn Laws

If The Corn Laws Were Altered, The British Artisan Might Again Be Able To Subsist By Twelve Hours' Labour, A Most Desirable Event.

I Am Willing To Admit That If The Agriculturists Are Oppressed By Peculiar Burdens, They Ought To Be Relieved From Them, Or Be Allowed A Fair And Just Protection Equivalent To All Such Peculiar Burdens.

Land, In England, Is Valuable, Because We Have Highly-paid Artisans To Consume The Produce On The Spot.

Now, What Produces A Want Of Demand A Refusal To Take From Other Countries The Commodities Which They Produce.

I Will Undertake To Prove That The Present Corn Laws Have Been Detrimental To The Public, Without Being Beneficial To The Agricultural Interest.
