Reading edition
Wages of course need not comprise money, or be the result of a compact between free parties. We pay a slave wages, though no penny fee. It is a different question whether it is advisable that labourers should be slaves: the Anglosaxons had their peculiar views on that subject, which we are not to discuss now.
