Is there a difference in usage between 賃銀 and 賃金?


I was looking into a novel and I found the word 賃銀. According to my
dictionary, this word has the same meaning as 賃金, which is _wages_ , the money
a person receive for a work/task.

They have the same pronunciation and 賃銀 is another form of 賃金 (according to
[jisho.org](https://jisho.org/word/%E8%B3%83%E9%87%91)). But what I still
don't know is in which case 賃銀 is used over 賃金.




According to this site,
[戦前は「俸給{ほうきゅう}」もしくは「賃銀{ちんぎん}」で、戦後は「賃金{ちんぎん}」に](http://tingin.jp/kaisetsu/04.html)

「俸給{ほうきゅう}」

> ホワイトカラーが受け取るものは「俸給{ほうきゅう}」と呼ばれていました。

The salary white collar worker received called 「俸給{ほうきゅう}」.

「賃金{ちんぎん}」（「賃銀{ちんぎん}」とも書く）

> ブルーカラーが受け取るものは「賃金{ちんぎん}」と呼ばれていました。

The salary blue collar worker received called 「賃金{ちんぎん}」.

The sample expression from old novel,

> _「三度目に掛合つた老車夫が、やつとの事でお豊の望む **賃銀** [ちんぎん]で小梅行きを承知した」（『すみだ川{がわ}』永井荷風{ながいかふう}）_

`Third Old-Rickshaw driver we had negotiated finally approved to go to Koume
with salary Otoyo afforded.`

`Sumida-River, Sumidagawa by Kafū Nagai.`

So, the salary written as 賃銀{ちんぎん} was payed for physical work before.
