4-60. 149 " no taxes, and little comparative rent for their " land, must lower the profits of those who labour '• under these disadvantages, and, other things be- *' ing equal, must ultimately justle them out of the " market ; and it is also obvious, that the boun- " ty to those who labour under these disadvan- * 4 tages, must tend to raise their profits, and give " them a fairer chance of standing the competi- H tion with the others ;" he must mean, that the bounty, by raising the price of cor...n, raises the profits of fanners. From these instances, and those in the pre- ceding section, it must be admitted, that, not- withstanding that none of the advocates for these laws, except Mr Arthur Young, have acknow- ledged, that the bounties were established for the purpose of raising the price of corn and the rent of land, no other conclusion can be drawn from their ambiguous and sophistical writings ; or from the necessary consequences of giving a bounty to those who take com out of our own markets to send to foreigners, which must raise the price at home, and lower it in the markets to which it is sent.
