Excerpt from The New SlaveryWhy should Canadian ham and bacon be ten or twelve cents dearer here than in England?There is no use of making the excuse that labor is better paid in Canada than in England. The excuse is bad, because the bacon is produced by Canadian labor. The Englishman in England pays this cost of production, and also the cost of transportation by rail and ocean.Therefore we ought to get the bacon and ham for a good deal less than is paid in England, instead of ten or twelve cents a pound more.Canada is a storehouse of food, producing more than it can consume, and helping to feed the rest of the world. Yet the price of food is far higher here than in England, which does not produce nearly enough food for its own needs.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
