"Then you think that the want of intelli- gence and the want of skill has gone a great way towards producing the depressed state of the farmers? — According to my view of it, such is the state of society in this country, that for a person to do well in any branch, whether in agriculture, manufacture, or in commerce, there must be a combination of intelligence, practical skill, capital, and in- dustry; and if any of those be wanting, whe- ther it is in agriculture, or in mercantile affairs, a pe...rson is almost sure now to go wrong ; and when I have traced a great number of cases of individual distress among farmers to that cause, one of those has been wanting. ** What do you conceive to be the eftect of the present Corn-laws upon the consumer ? — I think they have a very unfavourable effect ; they operate as a very great hinderance to the extension of trade, to the manufacturing and commercial interests, because, under the pre- sent system of Corn-laws, we can receive no- thing in return from those countries which would take our manufactured goods, if they could send us their corn in return ; for in- stance Prussia; our trade would be immense with Prussia if we could take their corn in re- turn.
