Here in America day wages were shown to be 200 per cent. above those ruling on the Continent, and 50 to 100 per cent. above those ruling in England. Exaggerated as the statements were in most instances, the actual differences were high enough to impress many a doubting mind. The reverse of the medal was withheld from view; viz. , that the countries paying the lowest wages worked the longest hours and produced the dearest goods. Positive proof was wanting to establish the relative parts, known only from general trade facts. To make any headway, it was necessary to take the question out of the hazy atmosphere which had surrounded it, and to give it positive shape and form under the bright glare of facts. To do this effectively, all the leading industries had to be investigated and reviewed, and their comparative status and cost of production given. If only a few industries had been treated by way of example, the supposition would have been justified that equally important industries would not be able to stand the ordeal of tariff reduction. The Cost of Production. Labor is the chief element of cost in the product. Whether it be the unassisted hand labor of domestic industry, the factory work of Continental Europe, with its inferior organization and machinery, or the more highly developed industry of England, brought to an all-pervading system of highest perfection in America, labor is the chief element of cost. In the former processes the labor is all expressed in the pay to the worker; in the latter the cost of machinery, of buildings, of superintendence and management, go into the cost as additionals. They are expressed either as direct labor items, as general labor expense, or as interest. . . This item ships from La Vergne,TN.
