A long letter from Mr Cobden responds to editorials on Anti Corn Law League aims. He rejects any plan to curb corn exports, arguing the league seeks universal commercial liberty, opposes monopolies, and favors buying low selling high without diplomatic meddling. He notes growth in support across England and Scotland and predicts England leading a free exchange drive worldwide.
