, ...-, • T r ., . ! , I) rAuruSED ALTERATION 1, LAWS. THE CORN Important alterations ate propbsecl in the state of the Corn Laws-their object is to prevent the ittipore tatinn of corn except at a very high ptice. Though It is well known that the torn produced in this coun try is not etiough for our consumption, and that we must therefore depend ott a foreign supply, it is pro. posed to prevent the consumer, who is straitened for provisions at home, from having his wants relieved nut of the abundant supply of the foreign tnarket--J-it is a plan for keeping back corn from the market, for the avowed purpose of encouraging agriculttire, by raising its price. The object of encouraging agricul , Lure is, that we may have cheap provisions; but by the proposed plan, this natural order of things is in verted, and the consumer is to be straitened, in the first place, that agriculture may be encouraged, and that, :it some future period, provisions may be cheap. There are, we apprehend, very few among the consu mers who, in their zeal for a reduction of prices, tvoulal have ever thought of such a far fetched pro- Jett to effect their purpose. They would, it is be• lieved, rather have stood the chances of the market, than have straitened themselves at present on the un certain contingency or futtire cheapness. But in whatever views the plan originates, we think it may be shewn to be founded in error. Before entering More particularly into the question, it may be proper, shortly, to consider the general policy ou which the corn trade has been regulated in this country. In the early legislation of most countries, k has al ways been accounted a capital object to keeit 44in the price of corn, and, with thieyiew, such perlalties balm been imposed on its transportation from one place to another, that it beeame trinsinal to bring to Market the necessary owl,' ief produce: An act . was passed in the reign ofWtrles 11. whirls, though it sanctioned the prejuditteu- tkOinst the evil effect of which it was providing, #aree*the inland trade in torn all the freedom whuth ittimelinjeys ; and thir la, as Dr. SPlith jitstly rentitvt*irltlyall its imper fections, has done mere fdr-* est ouragement of agriculture than all the other “titver : passed on the fobject. About the same tin*, the foundition was laid for that system of laws of which theebject is, ul timately to make corn ch ap, by prohibiti n g impor..- tation, and encouraging exportation by Me4llo off' bounty. Corn, accordingly, was subjected, on .portation, to a duty of 16s. per quarter, unless when the price exceeded 535. 441. to which it never rose brit in consequence of extreme scarcity ; and exportation Mss, at the same time, permitted at 40s. per quarter, mid afterwards a t 48s.- per quarter. At last, a bounty of 5.. per quarter was granted in the reign of William on all corn exported, at whatever, prices This system continued till the year 1765, when, importation was allowed duty free, and exportation was prohibited. In 1773, the high duties on impor portation, imposed during the reign of Charles 11. amounting to a prohibition, were taken off when the price of wheat rose to 48s. and the bounty on expor tation ceased when it rose to 445. In 171, a new law was made, by which the high duty of 16s. was paid on all wheat imported under 50s. above 50s. and under 545. a duty of 2s. 6d. was paid ; and above -545. the duty on importation was lowered to 6d.- The bounty of ss. was payable only when wheat was under 445. per quarter, and when it rose to 465. ex portation was prohibited. In 1804, the prices at which wheat became liable to a duty on importation were raised ; the high duty of sixteen shillings being payable until the price rose to 635. ; above 635. and under 6435. the duty was re duced s. to 2s. 6d. ; and above 665. it was still further reduced to 6d. The effect of these various laws was, from the time of Charles 11. to the year 1765, to prohibit importa tion, while exportation was, from the reign of Wil liam 111. encouraged by a bounty. From 1765 to 1773; exportation was prohibited and importation Was allowed. The laws which remained in force from 1773 to 179!, virtually repealed the bounty on ex portation, as corn was always above the price at which the bounty was granted. In like manner, after the year 1791, importation was generally free, as it was almost always above the price at which the high duty teas A Cigible. It was proposed in the last Session of Parliament to revive those , laws into greater efficacy by continu ing the high duty of sixteen shillings ou importation till the quarter of wheat reached 1055.-above 105 s. and una-r 13.45. a duty of 2s. 6d. to be imposed. It is likely that the plan now proposed will proieed on the same principle. • In defence of such a measure, it is stated, that while the exportation of corn was excouraged by a bounty, and while importation was prohibited, prices were comparatively low, and that after the year 1773, when the encouragement to exportation was virtually done away, and importation was allowed, they gra dually rose higher-and hence, say the advocates of restrictions on importation, arises a clear argument in favour of that system which prohibits importation and encourages exportation. But it is not very easy tobelieve, that this lowness of price in the home mar ket was produced by the law, which, by encouraging exportation, manifestly tended to reduce the supply ;it that market, and thus to raise the price. Will any one beilevi, that the way to make an article cheap is to semi it awayirom the market ? We always under stood, that the price of commodities was fixed by the proportion between the demand and the supply. In crease the demand or diminish the supply, and the price rises. Now, exportation surely tends to diminish the supply in the home market, and how then can it lower the price ? By encouraging agriculture, say the. advocates of the system. Here, then, the incon siueecy of the argument manifestly appears. Agri culture, we are told, is encouraged by a high price of corn-by restricting importation and encouraging exportation, this high price is produced-and yet the project is recommended to us on account of its ten= dency 40 produce low prices. Where, then, is the en couragement to agriculture? The prices must either be limb or low. If they are high, where are the boasted advantages of the system to the community? If they ave low, where is the encouragement to agri culture ? Bet has not agriculture the most ample en couragement, when, according to the statement in the Report of the Committee of the House of Commons, the average price few the Last nine years has been 88s. 11d. per quarter.. As the ho wever ,fact, la undoubted, that the money P r " of corn low has ga • puristic* was iambi. ~~~ bited - and exportatibn eticouraged. and that it rose while the trade was fret, the question is, if the law is dot the cause of the high and lu* price, to what other ptinciple is it to be traced ? And on this point we now propose offering some observations. . It may be remarked, in the first place, that a rise in theprice of corn may be occasioned as M it ch by i a fall n .the value of the money as by a rise in the value of the corn. It does not,follow, that because more money is given for corn than heretofore, its real value has risen ; as the same effect may be equally produced by another cause. From the time of the Revolution to the year 1773, the period when the bounty on exportation was in force, prices were com paratively low. From the year 1773 to the present time, they have been much higher. But does not every one know, that the value of money is greatly fallen during that latter period, and that every article of consumption, as well as corn, has consequently risen in price ? Here, then, is a reason for the rise which has taken place in the price of corn, and one every wAy sufficient to produce the effect; so that there is no reason for ascribing it to the law prohibit. ingimportation, which does not, besides, account for the fact. _ _ But were it even true that the real value, and not the money price of corn, were lower in the former than in the latter period, there are other causes to which it must be ascribed. The great trade of every community consists in the exchange which takes place between the town and the country, of manufactured produce for the produce of the soil ; and, in the pro gress of national - wealth, it happens at one time that the value of what is manufactured exceeds the value of what is produced, and at another, that the manu factures exceed in value the produce of the soil; in either of which cases, an exportation will take place at one timed. manufactures, and at another time of corn. Now, at the time that the laws were passed granting a bounty on the exportation of corn, the agriculture of the country had got the start of its trade—there was more corn produced than the manu factures could provide an equivalent for. Corn was, of course, plentiful, and its price would be reasonable. Far from being lower, however, on account of the bounty granted on its exportation, it must have been higher on this account; the quantity in the market must have been diminished by the quantity exported, ands accOrcling to the rule by which prices arc inva riahly4ttsted, a .higher price must have been the connwpacce of this diminished supply. Since the year 1772, the trade and manufactures of the country have taken the lead of its agriculture.- -There has been such an increase of capital, and such an improvement of industry in all its branches, for the last thirty or forty years, that its preduee has ex. ceeded in value the produce of the soil, and it has in consequence been exported for the produce of other countries, where there is not such an overflow of wealth and industry. This state of things, too, has been auended with an increase in our population, for the maintenance of which we are in part indebted to other countries. There has thus been a great demand for industry, a great demand for an increase of peo ple, and a great demand for provisions for then. sup port. It is natural to think, therefore, that in this latter period, the real value of corn *lust have risen, and it is by means of this higher price that an ade quate supply has been procured from other countries. By violently cheeking this necessary supply, a great hardship must, in the first instance, be imposed on the consumer, the natural course of the country to improvement must be checked, and one great stimu lus to agriculture, namely, the improvement of our manufactures, must be partially counteracted. We do not say that those effects will go any great length, because there is in every country a principle of rigour to remedy the effect of faulty legislation, and because also, in all those laws that regard the exoortation and importation of corn, a dispensing power has been, from time to time, exercised by the Privy Council, by which the law has been suspended when it was likely to produce any bad effects—an undeniable proof, as Dr. Smith justly remarks, that a system thus continually interrupted by exceptions must have been defective in its principle. It now seems, indeed, to be generally agreed upon, that a community will flourish most when trade is left perfectly Iree ; and we are well convinced, that the trade in corn, both in respect to the landholder, the dealer, and the con sumer, far from being an exception, would be bene fited, in a most especial manner, were it left to find its level under the operation of this excellent principle. BOW-STRLET.—Yesterday Thomat Castle w asbrought to the Office, charged with robbing Mr. Russo:*, the Comedian, on Tuesday evening, in Newcastle -street, Strand. .The charge being satisfactorily proved, he was committed for trial. George. Burion was charged with felonioubly stealing eleven pair of boots, the property of John Gamble, of York -terrace, in the Kent Road. He was committed for trial. At Sussex Assizes, held on Monday, at Horsham, John Morris Was indicted for a highway robbery, for robbing Henry Page, on the 10th of December last, at Hastings, and taking from him six £1 notes. —The prosecutor, Page, stated, that 'Thomas Gib son and himself were returning from Bexhill, when they stopped at the Anchor public house, at Hastings, to drink. Gibson was tipsy, and gave him his notes to keep. The prisoner was drinking in the same room, and after some conversation, said he would go with them ; they agreed, but he had net gone far on the road when he knocked Gibson out of the cart, and robbed the witness of the notes. He was taken the next morning. Verdict—Guilty. Saturday evening last, as Mr. BUTTERHELD, of Orsett, Essex, was returning home in his chaise from Benge, the carriage was upset within a few yards of his own house, and Mr. BUTTERFIELD, falling with his head in a ditch, was taken up dead, having been literally drowned, although the depth of the water did not exceed six inches. A boy who had fallen asleep on the shafts of the Herefordshire waggon, was on Tuesday thrown from his seat in Holborn, and the wheelr passing over both legs, crushed them, so as to render amputation ne cessary. Yesterday, as a coal waggon was passing the cros sing from Plarntree-street to Hanover-yard, in St. Giles's ( the hind wheel came off, and, s h oc ki ng , to relate, fell upon a poor Ina% who sweeps that crossing, and broke both his legs.
