We are moved by charity.
_The People._ Hurrah for CHARITY! _Jacques._ Use the _octroi_, if you can, to raise wages, or do not use it to raise the price of commodities.

The Parisians do not ask for charity, but justice.
_The People._ Hurrah for JUSTICE! _Pierre._ It is precisely the dearness of products which will, by reflex action, raise wages.
_The People._ Hurrah for DEARNESS! _Jacques._ If butter is dear, it is not because you pay workmen well; it is not even that you may make great profits; it is only because Paris is ill situated for this business, and because you desired that they should do in the city what ought to be done in the country, and in the country what was done in the city.

The people have no _more_ labor, only they labor at something else.

They get no _more_ wages, but they do not buy things as cheaply.
_The People._ Hurrah for CHEAPNESS! _Pierre._ This person seduces you with his fine words.

Let us state the question plainly.
