Scale of Duties for Corn and Grain Under New Policy
A speech outlines a gradual duty scale for wheat, barley, oats, and rye tied to market prices. It proposes specific per quarter duties from 18s at 60s to 6s at 69s and above, with lower protection for domestic crops, and applies similar proportional changes to colonial wheat and flour. The aim is to reduce temptations to fraud, protect home growers, and maintain supply security while easing consumer burden.
