Spanish deputies, some of whom
are agitating for a salary, already
enjoy certain privileges. They are
entitled to frank their letters and
to travel on all the railways in Spain
free OF charge. Unlike the French
deputies, however, they have to pay
for refreshments consumed in the
chamber, the only article supplied
gratuitously being barley sugar. OF
this there is an unlimited supply,
and lady visitors to the chamber are
always presented with packet of
