up the loss by an increased consumption
and continue the demand for an in
creased production. Can this be done!'
We think it evident that the sale OF the
whole product of American labor to the
American consumer ut an average price
between that of domestic and foreign
sales, would be as profitable to capital
il not more SO, than is the maintenance
of high prices in the home market TO
supplement the losses incident to freight
charges. commissions and low prices IN
foreign markets. On the other side who
can doubt but that more wages. more
leisure and greater consumption of its
own products, would be vastly beneficial
to American labor, and who can doubt
that such an arrangement would raise
Nthe standards of Americn home life, and
also raise the standard Of American
citizenship?
II is possible that some one may oh
iect to this as too altruistic for this age
Perhaps, but is not the altruistic prin
ciple basic in orr politics and govern
ment?
