A bounty, if it raises the price of corn, either raises it in comparison with the price of other commodities, or it does not. If the affirmative be true, it is impossible to deny the greater profits of the farmer, and the temptation to the removal of capital, till its price is again lowered by an abundant supply. If it does not raise it in comparison with other commodities, where is the injury to the home consumer, beyond the inconvenience of paying the tax? If the manufacturer pays a greater price for his corn, he is compensated by the greater price at which he sells his commodity, with which his corn is ultimately purchased.

白话
补贴如果抬高粮价，要么是相对其他商品抬高，要么不是。如果是前者，就不能否认农场主利润更高，会吸引资本流入，直到供给增加把价格压回去。如果不是相对抬高，国内消费者除了交税，还有什么损失？制造商即使买粮更贵，也能按更高价格卖工业品，而工业品最终换粮，所以得到补偿。因此补贴的伤害不在国内消费者，而在资源错配和税收负担。
