eggs or picking wild berries, the eggs or berries I thus get are my wages. Surely no one will contend that in such a case wages are drawn from capital. There is no capital in the case." Even if it were possible to get enough bird's eggs or 'wild berries, or, as Mr. George tells us in another place, "to climb the trees for fruit, or follow the receding tide for shell-fish," does Mr. George imagine that even the working class would be content to live on such a dainty fare? Is it an illustration worthy of the subject-viz., the wages fund of the labouring class ? And whether without capital and skilled directors of labour, not only could civilization and progress be possible, but could society exist as it is in London, New York, Paris, in 1884, with its infinitely subdivided and intricate network of production and exchange ? Analyze the subject in all its bearings, you will find the result of the joint labour is fairly apportioned to the capital, skill, and labour which have produced the result. Incite, by all means, the working man to try for a larger share for his labour, but tell him that he is only entitled to this larger share by producing a larger quantity, or a better quality, of work. Incite him to thrift, not by making capital valueless, but by explaining to him its value; that money, like labour, seeks for the market that yields the most profit from the loan of it. Advise him to save, let it be ever so little, and to wisely use his savings ; appeal to him as an intelligent man ; -do not insult his common sense by telling him "that the -capitalist is not needed to pay him his wages." Quite true, if he will be content to live in the woods- (if he can find them in 1884) on berries and bird's eggs; but utterly untrue if we are
