ation of the price of corn—potatoes cannot be accts.
ululated from year to year.
Having stied my objections to the Report, it
would br unjust not to honour it for its unqualified
reprobation of the present Corn Law, which, ob-
serve was principally intended to keep prices equa-
ble—yet which, 1,1 1816 and 1817, effected an ex.
kettle variation of price in the quarter of wheat,
raising it freer) 535. Pd. to lite. 7d. and again, in three
raw Ita, depressing it from 112 r. 7d. to 745. The re-
moo ks on the effect of the Corn Bill, its respect to
commerce, are jadiciour, for if we exclude what other
not a can afford us cheaper than we can produce
at home, and what oilier nations only can afford us
in exchange, we nut merely waste our substance,
but we force those minims, not iti retaliation, but of
t,eetssity, to tanitaile from trading with us. In
FI)Olt, the Report is of loose texture in its compo.
exhibiting sonlidneos and liberality, preju-
.itce and science. •It is a compromise between
sense and nonsense, free-minded men, and the pars.
attea of the cosintry.
Your obedient Servant,
