CHAPTER XVI
141/155

City factories often are not much better.

The quality of the food sold in the poorer sections of our cities--meat, bread, milk, etc .-- is defectively nutritious, even where it is not positively harmful.

The sanitary conditions are thus against labor.
This could be largely reflected by the State and city authorities, and ought to be rectified in simple justice to society at large, which is now so heavily burdened by the manifold evils bred under such conditions.

Government guards carefully the rights both of land and capital by an immense amount of legislation and administration.

Health is the laborer's source of wealth, but it is by no means so farefully looked after as are the resources of the other two factors of production.
