In a recent summary on wages
vin the States, in which a contentioi
> {was made that in a great many in
'! stances wages were too high, th
* following from Capper’s Weekly I
‘ worth going over: “One man noy
* produces 7 % time3 as much lum
* her as in 1896. He produces 8 time
’ as much coal, 10 times as mucl
| iron, 40 times as many shoes, 5!
times as much glass and 1000 time:
as much paper. These figures havi
| been gathered by Arthur Hunting
|‘ton, of the Iowa State Board o
| Education. The question is, hav<
i wag s kept step with this increaset
output? We know they haven’t—
least of all the farmer’s wages.”
Wages aren’t high when one con
siders the general lofty prices ask
ed on commodity stuff, on wear
ing apparel—especially 3hoes—anc
|in rents.
j $100 a month, in 1896 was e
i fair wage, but then a sack of floui
could be purchased for 60^, a 51b
can of lard for 45^, a sack of sugai
for $4.25, a pair of shoes—logger’s
for instance, for $5.00, a suit oi
clothes, good qualify, for $10.00 and
so on along the line in the need,
of the average American citizen.
W ages, through conditions vary
ing in different sections of the na
tion are up here, down there, but
always a laggard in the race with
the upward trend of what are known
as the necessities of life. To be
sure, this is not accidental. Away
back in Feudal times before wage
scales were listed anywhere as of
great importance, economists work
ing for the interest of the baron3,
1 were figuring on how many hours of
| grind could be gotten out of the
aveiage human child and adult
without a cost beyond a rag and a
bone and a shake shelter; and in
the case of adults, the probable
cost of bringing new workers into
the world. The schedule adopted
in those far off times is more or
less in evidence today. It never
was ordained, so the high and
mighty said, that the producer
should have what he produced. So
for example, a shoemaker in a fact
ory may produce 50 pair of shoes
i
in a day—and he frequently goes
| beyond that quantity—he is allow
j ed scarcely the vale of one pair for
' his knowledge and labor. Wages,
alone, never lifted the toiler out
of the sordidness of things, but
there is coming a day when they
will advance much closer to it than
they do now.
.AN EARLY JOLT IN THE JAW.
| In the October 26th number of
The Outlook, Dixon Merritt gives
you an idea of what the South Is
going to do to Alfred E. Smith
should that gentleman get the nom
ination for President. Of course
the move just now is to block his
nomination, which it may not do.
But if nominated, the “AI Smith
and the Solid South” story will cer
tainly hurt his running.
,, The article is early and is one
i of the first cast of bricks, at a
- potential Democratic nominee for
j the Presidency, with decided force
3 behind it. It plainly says that
/ Smith is unfit in any way you may
. take him and points—rather in a
3 veiled manner—that his religion |
i will bar him if nothing else does.
S All in all, the offerings of Merritt
3 will give Smith's followers and the
5 Smith forces a hill to climb over.
“Rum, Romanism and Rebellion”
f was a javelin so deep in the cah
> didacy of James G. Blaine that hi*
1 political aspirations and his phyt
. ical health went under on account
of it, and Merritt's Church, Caste
. and Calamity 3tory may make a
I wound as dangerous for Smith.
