The problem lies in the equilibrium of the price of labor and that of the articles necessary to existence.

The abundance of labor is the wealth of nations, and the best economic system is that which furnishes them the greatest possible amount of labor.

Do not ask whether it is better to pay four or eight cents cash for a cup of tea, or five or ten shillings for a shirt.

These are puerilities unworthy of a serious mind.

No one denies your proposition.
