Certainly it cannot be made to

9 complicated when you consider
~ the man in all his aspects. For
he is more than a workman who
spends a certain number of
hours at his work in the shop
every day.
If he were only himself, the
cost of his maintenance and the
profit he ought to have would
be a simple matter. But he is
more than himself. He is a citi-
zen, contributing by his cultiva-
tion and interest to the welfare
of the city. He is probably a
householder, living under condi-
tions w hich‘represent more than

"| life. More than that, he is prob-
ably a father with a more or less
numerous progeny, all of whom
must subsist and be reared to
usefulness on what he is able to
earn.
Now, it is obvious that to re-
gard the man alone, refusing to
reckon with the home and the fa-
mily in the background, is to ar
rive at a series of facts which
are misleading and which alone
can never suffice even for a
temporary solution of the ques-
tions that concern us.

Il costs just as much physical
strength to turn out a day’s
work when wheat is $1 a bushel,
as when wheat is $2.50 a bushel.
Eggs may be 12 cents a dozen or
90 cents a dozen it makes n 1
difference in the units of energy
a man uses in a productive day
work.
One would think that the real
basis of value would be the cost
of transmuting human energy in-
to articles of trade and com-
merce. But no; that most honest
of all human activities is made
subject to the speculative shrewd
ness of men who can produce
false shortages of food and other
commodities, and thus excite an-
xiety of demand in society.
It is not in industry that the
trouble lies, but in those regions
beyond, where men lie in wait
to seize the fruits of industry |
and create false scarcities for
the sake of arousing an anxious
demand for things which, nor-
mally, are and ought to be ac-
cessible to all who engage in
daily productive pursuits.
We must begin with the land;
we must continue with the day’s
labor; and we must keep so
elose, mo jealously close to both i
these fundamentals that we shall
be suspicious and fearful of all
that robs the land of men, and
robs labor of its primal import,- ;
ance in material life.
We shall think out, and try
out, and establish more enduring

day.
The workingman is beginning
to understand that he is in busi-
ness. His raw material is human
energy. His product is a day’s
work. All other business men
seek a profit above cost of pro-
duction, why should not he?
The difficulty thus far has
been in making out the cost sheet.
How much does it cost to pro-
duce a day’s work?—that is the
question for which there seems
to be no satisfactory basic an-
swer. j
it is perhaps possible accura-
tely to determine albeit with
considerable interference with
