4. 0 the people — I beg your pardon, I meant the landlords ; and if the problem were submitted to some profound philosopher — given, a certain quantity of land — query, how to secure to it a perpetually growing rental ? he would readily solve it thus : keep the people at starvation point ; increase their number as much as you can, but give them no more to eat than what you grow on the said land ; prevent all supply of food fi'om other land ; or, if the pressure be too great, relax seemingly ; b...ut slip and slide your duties such wise, that a week's adverse winds, or the difference of a halfpenny in the average price, may threaten ruin to every merchant ; adjust your laws so that the com trade may become disreputable, hazardous, and impossible ; enact a sliding scale, such as they have in the land of liberty and civilization — in the land called England ! Whatever else there may be of folly and wickedness in your speeches, I must abandon to the researches of abler men ; it is but an offensive business to dredge such pools of falsehood and absurdity.
