Excerpt from What Protection Does for the Farmer and Labourer: A Chapter of Agricultural History
The two former editions of this pamphlet have received some not unfriendly criticisms from Protectionist Farmers. It is impossible, says one critic in a letter which was communicated to me, to follow him in his argument that, because prices were augmented by Protection, Farmers sustained a loss instead of a gain, as he begs the question all the way through. In the first place, Rents were not fixed on the assumption that wheat would make the maximum price, but by supply and demand. It is a curious commentary on this statement that another Protectionist Farmer, writing about the same time, says.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book, first published in 1884, explores the impact of protectionist agricultural policies on farmers and farm laborers during the 19th century. Incorporating knowledge from the fields of economics and history, the author explains how these policies led to a decline in farmers' profits, stagnant wages for laborers, and ultimately, higher rents for landowners. Through a detailed analysis of historical evidence, the author argues that protectionism benefits only the landowner class at the expense of the broader agricultural community. Furthermore, the author's insights into the dynamics of agricultural protectionism remain relevant today, providing valuable lessons for policymakers and anyone interested in understanding the historical and economic factors that shape agricultural policy.
