On the other hand, we have assigned to the English agricultural laborer what he would regard a proportionately comfortable allowance for the wants of a week.

We may not have divided it correctly, but the total of the items is as great as he would expect to expend on the current necessities of seven days.

I doubt if one in a thousand of the farm laborers of Great Britain lays out more than the sum we have allotted for one week's food, rent, and fuel and clothes.

We then reach this result of the balance-sheet of the two men.

Their weekly savings hardly differ by a penny; each amounting to about 5d., or 10 cents.
