Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Farmer's Magazine, Vol. 12: July to December, 1845 He then stated, and in sundry letters since published, that, in all seasons of scarcity the price at Mark Lane, minus this duty, would be the best market to which the surplus of the continental grain-producing countries of the continent could be sent to, and that under such circumstances the duty would fall on the foreign producer and not on the British consumer. This theory has now been brought to the proof by the present tariff; for when the appearance of the market affords no prospect of bringing the article into consumption at a lower duty, then the existing rate becomes practically a fixed duty, because it cannot be avoided. Let the merchants at Mark Lane be then called upon to say who paid the duty of 2os. Per quarter in the latter part of the year 1842, or who pays the duty of 2os. Per quarter now.
