PACE OF LaB,R IN FRANCE AND ENG

and instruction, speaks Of the vastly
superior condition Of the producing
classes of all descriptions on The Gun
tineni, and particularly Of FRINGE.
when compared with those OF Great
.Britain and 1reIand-a fact which has
always been strenuou.lv denied by
the advocates of the Japer system.
While the producers of France actu-
ally receive a larger amount Of a
sound currency than the English do
of abi"ated, currency. they purchase
heir food from 80 10 40 per cent.
cheaper; making an actual difference
of 63 per cent. in their wages. This
accounts for the higher degree oicom-
fort. Intelligence, and ~civilz1tion in
France. when compared with Eng.
land. the improvement in machine
~, which is now making rapid pro-
gress on the continent, will increase
this growiRg disparity in the condi'
ton OF the two countries; and moth.

ton Of the national debt, the abolition
of the laws of entail nj primogeni'
ture, the church establishment. and a
government valua:i m of the lands,
will enable England to complete with
her better-nnvernef nrighbors. To
sustain his facts, DIR. III. refers to the
London Times, which stated, on the
authority of statistical tables. thai
the average price of labor in France
is t. 90c.. or 1871. per day. In the
department Of the Rhine ii is If
4oc., or lad. In the Seine Inferieure
1t is 81. In the same paper it was al
so stated that the price Of the bes'
bread was 39l higher in London thar
in Paris:
sAs wages are principally laid on
for bread. and lie price Of bread ha:
a great influence oyer tie price OF al
ether things, We must conclude that
wages in France arr 39i per cent
more valuable in relation to bread
and nearly all other things, than il
England. Consequently. wages II
France should be raised 3eE per cent.
m order TO constitute a fair compiri
son between the value of wages, o
what they will buy, in France ant
England. On this principle. and tax
ing 40 per cent. as a round number
the average wages Of France are
rery nearly gid. per day; the loves
rate mentioned is l9Id., and the hlg''
est Esd. The average wages OF tht
agricultural districts in England are
not above I5i. In many parts 0
Somerset and Wiltshire we have
much testimony, including that o
M. B. Escotti, M. p, to prove tina
the wages of agricultural iaborers d.
not exceed IS. per week, or 12d. pc
day. On this comparison, it follow
that the average wages Of %agricultur

in France; and the lowest wages o
