I undertake to say that this assertion is totally groundless, and I challenge the author to bring any sort of proof of it.

If living is cheaper in France, that is, to be had for less specie, wages are proportionably lower.

No manufacturer, let the living be what it will, was ever known to fly for refuge to low wages.

Money is the first thing which attracts him.

Accordingly our wages attract artificers from all parts of the world.
