It is n familiar adage in the business world that au efficient man is cheap at high wages. Yet in its applicatlou to larger questions this adage is never thought of. Iu discussing the tariff nnd wages people assume as a matter of course that the employer who pays high wages must therefore sell his goods at a higher price. The fact is that if the labor is well fed aud Intel ligent mid is applied under good nat ural conditions and with skillful lead ership tlie employer can turn out uu abundant product or a product of high quality, sell it cheap aud still pay his laborers well. And the real source aud I cause of general high wages, says the economist, is precisely in these condi tious—efficient labor, good natural re sources, skillful Industrial leadership. Given these ttud you will always have higher wages and need not fear com- petition from cheap and Inefficient la bor. Professor F. (V. Taussig In At- ; Ian tic. Union Haters Boycotting Buck’s.
