THE INTERREGNUM. 115 Nor can it be said that the rise in wages was counter- balanced by the rise in prices. Such was not the case.
'Taking a comparison between wages and the price of wheat which will be sufficient to illustrate this observation, we find that whereas in 1625 the proportion between the price of a quarter of wheat and the weekly wages of an artisan were as 1 to 9 : the same proportion in 1650 was as 1 to 7, and in 1655 as 1 to 4.^ The effect of this rise of wages, however... satisfactory to the labourer, was distinctly .felt by the landowner and the manufacturer at least as early as 1656, for in October of that year they obtained the appointment of a Committee to consider of " the excessive wages paid to labourers and artificers, to the great prejudice of the Commonwealth," and also to report upon the exorbitancy in the apparel and habits of servants, "which is the ground of many mischiefs."^ Nothing came of this Committee at the time, but it bore fruit during the first year after the Eestoration, when the proportion between the price of corn and weekly wages went down nearly to 1 to 9.° So long as Cromwell lived, however, the high rate of wages remained, and it thus mattered little to these toilers in the cities and labourers in the fields whether the laws of which they reaped the direct And immediate benefit in their pockets and in their personal freedom were passed by a Commonwealth without a King or a House of Lords, whether they emanated from a supreme authority composed of a Convention alone, or of a Lord Protector and a Parliament, or whether they proceeded from a Council of State with power to make and enforce its orders.
