That rise in the real price of those parts of the rude produce of

land, which is first the effect of the extended improvement and

cultivation, and afterwards the cause of their being still

further extended, the rise in the price of cattle, for example,

tends, too, to raise the rent of land directly, and in a still

greater proportion. The real value of the landlord's share, his

real command of the labour of other people, not only rises with

the real value of the produce, but the proportion of his share to

the whole produce rises with it.

That produce, after the rise in its real price, requires no more

labour to collect it than before. A smaller proportion of it

will, therefore, be sufficient to replace, with the ordinary

profit, the stock which employs that labour. A greater proportion

of it must consequently belong to the landlord.
