Thefe tables prove, that the dependence 

 of the price of labour on that of provifions, 

 is extremely uncertain, if any thing at all; 

 and in numerous inftances the former feems 

 palpably in contradiction to the latter. The 

 labouring poor, who pay the aggregate price 

 of \d. per lb. for provifions, earn 3/. a year 

 lefs than others who are fupplied at ^d. per lb. 

 Thofe who feed at 3^/. i, earn lefs by near 

 61. than others at ^d. A monftrous difpro- 

 portion ! And thefe, befides the general con- 

 tradictions of four inferior prices being fupe- 

 rior in earnings to 4 d. and befides many 

 others of the fame kind, 2 d. \ , the lowejl 

 price of provifions, is attended with 1 8 s. a
