Excerpt from Farm Produce Realization
Among other things it will be noted -
1st. That at the present time the national productions of both animal and cereal foods are considerably less than they were a few years since.
2nd. That home producers, who are in the midst of forty million of consumers, are successfully driven from their own markets by the farmers of remote countries, who are handicapped by dear labour and heavy transit charges.
3rd. That with the wholesale cost of foods at a nominal price, a considerable portion of the people are poorly fed, and their natural physique deteriorating.
4th. That while a section of the industrial classes - having acquired a concentrated purchasing power exceeding thirty-four million pounds sterling annually - send agents abroad to purchase from foreign farmers at higher prices than they could procure similar commodities of a better quality from home farmers.
