What is (be reafon that provifions are fo high, 

 and Jeem to be every year increafmg in price, 

 notivithjlandlng fo many great improvements 

 faid to be made in agriculture in Britain ? 



ON E very great caufe of the dearnefs of 

 provifions is importation ; nor can 

 cheapnefs be expe&ed while fuch a pradlice

 taken away from the farmer, by fending the 

 money out of our own country into others, 

 how can he improve ? 



Exportation muft always be a principal 



' caufe of cheapnefs, becaufe it brings in large 



fums to the farmer, which enable him to 



purclufe fufficient quantities of manure, and 



likewife
