Synopsis
Excerpt from The Maintenance of the Corn Laws, Essential to the General Prosperity of the Empire
Now it is a remarkable circumstance, that during the period of the full force of those laws, the price of Wheat was, for upwards of sixty years, generally lower than on the continent; so much so, that our exports of Wheat exceeded, for many years, the imports, to the extent of quarters annually. I do not mean to say, either that this low price of Com was owing exclusively to the operation of those Corn Laws, or do I think that the low price was any certain indication of the prosperity of the country, and of the comforts and enjoyment of that plenty which is always taken for granted by the op.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book fervently discusses the merits of the Corn Laws. The author, a staunch advocate of these laws, argues that they are essential for ensuring the nation's food security. Drawing on historical examples, the author highlights how the laws have helped maintain a steady supply of corn, preventing extreme price fluctuations and potential famine. This book challenges the calls for free trade, arguing that it would jeopardize domestic agriculture and make the country dangerously reliant on foreign imports. The author also addresses concerns about the impact of the laws on consumers, asserting that the benefits of a stable food supply outweigh the potential drawbacks. The book is a valuable contribution to the ongoing debate on food security and the role of government intervention in the economy. By providing a comprehensive analysis of the Corn Laws and their historical context, this book equips readers with a deeper understanding of this crucial issue.
