Kent County Petition on Agricultural Distress and Tax Burden
The document expresses broad distress in Kent due to high taxes and currency changes that lower produce prices. It argues relief must come from tax reductions and fair pricing, urging Parliament to empower county meetings and private associations to unite all classes. It warns continued low prices risk farmers, manufacturers, and public credit, and seeks equal burdens on capital and protection for agriculture.
