x Each Saturday the peon received his weekly allowance of Indian corn, about a peck. And at San Luis de Potose (1842) three dollars only per month was their pay; this way even more was expended at the tienda or store upon the estate, thus keeping the peon constantly in debt. The peon is allowed one day in each month to himself, when if they are not much in debt wish to change, they look out for a new master, but this day is deducted from their months pay.
