 principles of political economy, and all those trading 

 laws which are so constiantly pressed on our attention. 

 We shall produce, what we can produce most cheaply, 

 grass, and the inhabitants of other climates — ^warmer 

 ones with cheaper labour — ^will produce for us all the 

 grain we require.
