"Miegketreliff - UMW UMW Wan shallfeel okliged, fey your inserting in your viii and I mpartial paper, the sentiments and stammer farmer. We are now receiving for the produce of our sdmewhere about the same prices which we of before the late revolutionary war with France, can see uo reason why the money prices of oar should be higher. Prior to the commencer that war, there was, I believe, a general peace tl out the world, and we may say there is, for our, purposes, the same now. There was then no ruption in the eommenication between countries, such restrictions as were imposed by the domestic latious of the several nations of the world. There further interruption sow; the restrictions and tioos existing prior to the war could not. and those isting now cannot prevent the prices of one country five a sensible effect on the prices of all others inculcation with it. The support of the labourers countries will, weeding to the progress of Lief be so far in sympathy with prices, that the laf general principle must not render the honest ant trious labourer incapable of supporting himself Hilly, by what he can earn in the shape of wages wages will io progress of time be regulated by the obtained for the articles produced by the !Omni 'therefore a tradesman, or manufacturer, cannot iaboet on as advantageous terms in one COMM can in another, lie will remove his skill to the spot be can have the labour he wants on the best term! consequence of this must be one of two thini must either supply your labourers with access, prides which they can pay out of such wages as nufacturer can afford to gi b e, or, you compel thi facturer to remove, and leave the labourers a et a community unable to employ them. Does it not . that notwithstanding all the prohibiting laws, protectil ditties, and other duties for keeping up high - prices in a particular country, the prices of that must be in sympathy with the prices of other ► with which it has communication ? And, that possible to devise soy mode of keeping up sill most they not inevitably be the ruin of thi where they are maintained ? If it should be urged, that the prices of agrii produce should be higher now than it was pri' war. because the population of the world is and the demand for it consequently greater, I I is satisfactorily answered, by the consequence from that increased population namely, a dep in the value of labour. and a fact as apparent erease of the population. namely, the decided al 4ed increase of agrientivesil produce, arising improved system of cultivation. It does therefc to me unreasonable to expect that agricultural sliOnl.l obtain at this time m g t..• asoilky it did prior to the war. Let us then see wit, this has upon the relative situation of land? tenant, who are the parties first ant llama f , cte I by the prices of produce. In stating the relative situations of my and • myself, I state 1 believe the situation of bulk of landlords and tenants, on lands of a t.re quality thronghout the kingdom. No can be drawn, nor any thing proved from tit ingly good, or the very poor lands of the and this is my apology for speaking of writ I entered upon my farm in 1791, at whirl paid for rent at the rate of twelve shillings for a leans of twenty one years. Daring tl was fortunate, and, I believe, tolerably ii and prudent. The consequence was, as pi been generally touch higher than when I f trin, I became possessed of what I deemed able property. Ih 1812 my lease expired ; produce was very high ; my landlord understood that myself, and as a great favour granted in. a seven years at very nearly treble my former at thirty shillings per acre ; and I should a lease for fourteen years if he would ha , it ; hot he as well as myself thought thi still; go on advancing ; so, fortunately, for solied Lever to grant a lease for a longer seven years. The result of the next year was not very but in 1814 and ISIS l began to find I h; improvident bargain, anti hinted at some al I was however silenced in a moment by ctiquiring whether in 1600, 1801, 1810. • F ad him any advanced rent? The result tinned my farm till the expiration of m , then made preparations for leaving it. At, meet for me to continue, my landlord offered deletion of twenty-five per cent. We agreed at thirty per cent. reduction, which 1 four at all adequate to the change of Air .1 have not yet procured a proportionat in my Wiles ; I find every article of those 1 raise myself, unreduced in price sumer.
