If A Tax On Malt Would Raise

It Is Not By The Absolute Quantity Of Produce Obtained By Either Class, That We Can Correctly Judge Of The Rate Of Profit, Rent, And Wages, But By The Quantity Of Labour Required To Obtain That Produce.

Like All Other Contracts, Wages Should Be Left To The Fair And Free Competition Of Themarket, And Should Never Be Controlled By The Interference Of The Legislature.

A Rise In Wages, From An Alteration In The Value Of Money, Produces A General Effect On Price, And For That Reason It Produces No Real Effect Whatever On Profits.

By Far The Greatest Part Of Those Goods Which Are The Objects Of Desire, Are Procured By Labour And They May Be Multiplied, Not In One Country Alone, But In Many, Almost Without Any Assignable Limit, If We Are Disposed To Bestow The Labour Necessary To Obtain Them.

Utility Then Is Not The Measure Of Exchangeable Value, Although It Is Absolutely Essential To It.
