The Farmer And Manufacturer Can No More

It Is Not By The Absolute Quantity Of Produce Obtained By Either Class, That We Can Correctly Judge Of The Rate Of Profit, Rent, And Wages, But By The Quantity Of Labour Required To Obtain That Produce.

Neither Machines, Nor The Commodities Made By Them, Rise In Real Value, But All Commodities Made By Machines Fall, And Fall In Proportion To Their Durability.

If A Commodity Were In No Way Useful, - In Other Words, If It Could In No Way Contribute To Our Gratification, - It Would Be Destitute Of Exchangeable Value, However Scarce It Might Be, Or Whatever Quantity Of Labour Might Be Necessary To Procure It.

It Is Here We Come To The Heart Of The Matter. The Economic Principle Of Comparative Advantage', 'a Country May, In Return For Manufactured Commodities, Import Corn Even If It Can Be Grown With Less Labour Than In The Country From Which It Is Imported

A Bounty On The Exportation Of Corn Tends To Lower Its Price To The Foreign Consumer, But It Has No Permanent Effect On Its Price In The Home Market.
