Remarks on A Late Publication & Effects of Civilization on the People in European States

‘I am very far from agreeing with him [Malthus] in opinion, that the poor in a flourishing, and more especially in a commercial country, should be left altogether to nature and chance for subsistence in all the vicissitudes of life and fortune.’

From the Remarks

‘Trade or traffic consists in buying and selling articles produced by the poor, and gaining a profit by them. These articles are all the products of the hands of the labourers…from whom they are obtained for less than their full value; a profit otherwise could not be made. The tradesman, therefore, shares or takes part of the fruits of the labour of the poor.’

Charles Hall
