If The Corn Laws Were Altered, The

I Maintain That The Existing Corn Laws Are Bad, Because They Have Given A Monopoly Of Food To The Landed Interest Over Every Other Class And Over Every Other Interest In The Kingdom.

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.

I See No Reason For Giving The Capital Employed In Agriculture Greater Protection Than The Capital Vested In Other Branches Of Trade, Manufacture, Or Commerce.

Fortunately For England, All Her Imports Are Raw Materials.

What Farmers Require Is, That The Prices Should Be Moderate, And The Markets Steady And For This Reason I Did, In 1826, 1827, And 1828, Take The Course Which I Would Now Recommend To The House.
