These are gross wages, and leave about 6/ on an average clear for good workmen ; but there are a large proportion who do not earn above 5/. What I have already stated of hand-loom wea- vers applies equally to other workmen, whose wages form but a very slight index to their condition. The price of provisions, which I shall note here- after, will shew how little costly are the commodi- ties which are usually the staple articles of a la- bouring man's sustenance ; and I ascertained that a jom'neym...an artisan usually pays in Argovia from 18 to 20 batzen per week for his board and lodging, — a sum not exceeding, on the average, 3/ Sterling. But wages by no means form the whole income of a labourer : he is, as I have stated, almost universally the proprietor, or the son of a proprietor of land, and few householders are there in the whole canton who do not keep a pig, and generally a few sheep. Theu* cottages are strewed over the hills and dales, and exhibit in the interior every degree of comfort and ease.
