, I am fully aware that the poor's rates, as they are at present distributed, press most un- equally on a particular class of the community ; and I should think it a point of no considerable importance in the actual state of the country, to relieve the land. From bearing almost exclusively 27 the burden of a tax, which, as it falls not only on the net rents of the landlord but in part on the capital employed in agriculture, must neces- sarily impede the progress of cultivation. But till some ef...fectual and satisfactory provision can be made against the danger that I have pointed out, I should greatly fear, tjiat in endeavouring to avoid one evil, we might fall into another far mow fatal and extensive in its conse- quences. A / Could such a provision indeed be made, the principal objection to the Poor Laws would be done away. M I£ we cpuld be secure, that, though the number of the dependent poor might increase with the increasing population, yet that theirpr0- ( portion to it would remain the same; and if this # # proportion were not so great as very materially to affect the whole body, the question would at once assume a different form.
