Harvest

,—the season of reaping the fruits of the earth. A good or a bad harvest, according to the constitution of monarchical governments, has very little effect on the price of provisions. In the most plentiful seasons, the price is still kept up; prodical landlords rack their tenants, and thus the people derive no benefit from the bounty of Heaven. The rich devour that harvest which the poor man’s labout procures.
