Quantities of Wheat, Wheat Flour, and other Grain Imported into the United Kingdom
Quantities of Wheat, Wheat Flour, and other Grain Imported into the United Kingdom.
In this Table are shown the quantities of Grain, Flour and Meal imported during nine years under the old Corn Laws; during twenty-one years under the Shilling Duty, and most onerous restrictions on the Trade, which were calculated, if not intended, to discourage the importation of foreign food; and during sixteen years from the time when the Corn Laws were really repealed, some four and twenty years after the dissolution of the Anti-Corn-Law League—in consequence, it may most confidently be said, of the persistent denunciation of the Tax by the Financial Reform Association.
