The Price of Wages and the Price of Bread
A Wilts Independent commentary questions the claim that higher bread prices benefit workers. It notes wages held at nine shillings weekly while bread rose from 13d to 7d and critiques corn law advocates. The piece cites local wage data, farm worker disputes, and a Salisbury Tory paper on farm labour actions, then reports on a police confinement case in Wootton Bassett and a suspected mind illness, urging investigation.
