(27 S. 6. Contractor's own expected rate of profit.
2% per day was, I always understood, the very lowest
pay commonly given, in the Vicinity of the Metropolis, 10
day Laborers employed in Gardeners Grounds: and if I
was not misinformed, there is not any species of Day-
Labour lower paid, especially where science is out of the
Question, than Gardeners:—
All these things taken together it will be conceived,
I imagine without much difficulty, that I should not
speak truly were I to state my own expectations of the
profit to be derived from the Labour of each Man at
so low a Rate as 2/6 a day: the Expences of their
maintenance being at the same time on Grounds
+p. 31. such as will be mentioned presently+, expected to have
been defrayed by the £92 a Year had money which
I was to receive.—
True it is, that, by the terms of the Contract, out of
the money earned by them, and so received by me, I stood
engaged to allow to each Man one fourth, to be applied
as the Draft of the Contract printed in the Report, will
show. But against this deduction there remains to be set
the whole of the Master Manufacturers profit upon
such part of the labour of the whole thousand, as
would be employed upon the works belonging to the New
Invented Mechanism.
As this would have been by far the greatest part,
I flatter myself that it will not appear unreasonable if
taking into account the extra pay of the experienced and
dexterous hands, whose place would, by means of the
Machinery, be supplied by the labour of these comparatively
