James j. Hill, the great railway
magnate, made the declaration re-
Gently, in an unguarded moment,
that a train gang on his railroads
handles on the average more than
seven times as many tons OF
freight per male as do train gangs
on English, French or German rail
ways. When asked why American
train gangs were not paid seven
times as much wages, instead of
only twice as much, the Hon.
Jim" Hill spake not.
Hills statement is in line with a
claim made by Secretary Wilson of
the department of agriculture, in
which he lauded the American
farm laborer, showing that the lat
ter's efficiency and intelligence
was doing much to make the
United States the greatest country
on earth. Secretary Wilson de-
clared that one American farm la
borer can produce more rice than
400 Chinese. AS Chinese wages
are only 10 to IL cents a day, Mr..
Wilson's estimates show that If
American rice workers were paid
proportionate to production on a
Chinese basis they would receive
$40 to 4S per day, instead of $3.50.
The admissions of these eminent
authorities that American labor is
the most productive and measured
by it's production) the cheapest in
the world, ought to smash the fall
lacious theory that prices are high
because wages are high. If it were
made a crime to pay dividends on
fictitious values .(watreed stock
prices would be much lower.

been recorded by different observers,
who have also seen weasels hunting In
