If I were anyone to say that after and notwithstanding
the fixation of the highest lawful price the
farmer would still have the highest largest price
he could get for it, inasmuch as would not be
able to get any larger price than the law allowed,
it might be replied on the part of the Hon: Gentleman
that the answer is no better than a quibble,
being an answer to the words he happens to
have employed, and not to those words which would
have been expressive with propriety of the proposition
he must be understood from the turns of the argument
to have had in view. This makes it necessary
to substitute to the expression which the Honble Gentleman
might has and some expression which, to do
justice to convey an adequate intimation of his own meaning,
