Corn Laws as I have ever been, and still am, unmoved by the raging storm around me, I distinctly affirm that my object is PLENTY to secure to the people of this country the most abundant and regular supply of corn possible: 1maintain that such has ever been and now is the object of our Corn Laws, and that they have produced that effect; that the existing law has worked admirably; that the price has been as moderate and steady for the last eight or ten years, less fluctuating than in any other country in Europe. The average price of Wheat, from 1830 to the end of 1837 inclusive, has only been 53s.

Paperback. Etat : 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.
