The Agricultural Mind and Cayley’s Corn Laws Clash
A 1845 London letter critiques Mr. Cayley and the Agricultural Protection Society, exposing their defense of Corn Laws as a tax on the poor and a boon to landlords. The piece mocks their logic, cites witnesses and historical claims, and argues for opening markets to foreign grain to ease prices for workers.
