I suppose everybody understands Is
that part Of the laborer's product which
Is given to himself in compensation for
his toll. II, for instance, I be engaged
in the manufacture Of chairs, and II
can make five chairs every day worth
$50, and the rate of my wages is $4 a
day, what I actually get is one chair
out Of the five which I make. The
other four chairs, the other four-fifths
Of my product. are devoted to the pay
ment OF all the other labor that has
been expended in preparing the ele-
ment out Of which the chair was made.
To the man who felled the tree in the
forest. the person who sawed 1t in the
mill, the carrier who transported 1t. the
workman who prepared its component
parts. and the profit on the article
which set all this labor in motion. 1t
is quite plain, however. that I could
not take one chair home with me at
night and attempt to settle my bills
with II, nor the moment undertook to
divide the chair among my creditors
that moment 1t would lose it's value, so
instead of taking the chair, which
cannot divide. I take its equivalent in
money which I can divide, but my
wages all the time are fixed by the
quantity Of my own products. Gap

II instead of five chairs,I were able to
make ten and the rate Of my compensa-

dollars a day, but instead of their being
four chairs or sixteen dollars available
