' *The alternate evils of redundancy and scarcity cannot
fail to he aggravated by the alternate excitement and tie-
"pression to which the agriculture of the United King.
dons must be exposed, under the present system of our
Corn Laws.
Another evil effect of this system is, to convert faros-
Ilei inter a basardous and gain-Ming speculation, which,
betrayer managed, must involve great losses to the capi-
tals engaged in agriculture.
That it is expedient to, provide that the foreign wheat
Wow wader bond in the United KingdoM, may be takes
got for house consumption, upon the payment of a duty
of Iss. a quarter, so soon as the average price of wheal
shall exceed 70s: a quarter; and that at the expiration
of three months from the date of such admission of ware-
housed wheat into home consumption, or so much sooner
u the average price shall, exceed SOs. a quarter, wheat
front abroad may be admitted, upon the payment of the
like duty.
The trade in foreign corn shall thenoeforth be perms=
neatly free; but subject to the following duties upon '
importation, or when taken out of warehouse for home
censumption;—wheat 15s. a quarter, when the price
shall not exceed 895.; and when above that price 54.;
sad above Sys. one shilling ;. rye, pease, and beans, 9s. 6d.
