Practical consequences likely to result from a repeal of the corn laws: these consequences being the reduction of farmers to the condition of bailiffs or tenants. The reduction of peasants or labourers generally to the condition of the ill-clothed and worse-fed labourers of some other countries. The reduction of the national income to such an extent as to render impossible the discharge of the national obligations. Exhibited in a speech, delivered by the Rev. J.H. Thomas, B.A. at a meeting held in Devonport, in reply to Mr. Bright, advocate of the Anti-Corn-Law League; to which is appended an enquiry into some of the causes of the present distress. Published by request, and addressed especially to the farmers and labouring classes, by their real friends. (Record no. 41396)
