/ dltion to labor and to rear a progeny
TO take lhis place. The OK and the
mule get as much, and so did the
chattel slave. Often his living con
ditic.ls were better than are those OF
| many wage slave of today
There are two ways of arguing this
want of incentive. One is based on
the idea that hunger or want as a
spur, like the whip in the hands of
the slave driver. is The only incentive
of the worker. So when opport,.lity
becomes at all times present aud
equal and the whole product goes 20
living. incentive will go and work VIII
stop. Was ever arg !nient mpl e
ridiculous?
The other way is Just the opposite
of this. and is n complete answer ex-
plotting natural resources and the
workers, have acquired millions from
nothing, is furnishing incentive for
everybody. This argument is equally
as ridiculous. as the example are few
and growing fewer.
BY the census of 1890, the average
wage in this COUNTRY was SI44 or ST.
43 per day The average product was
less than $4,000 or $6.40 per day. How
much less incentive is $6.4O than
SLAB per day? The census of 1900
makes the average wage s437 or $1.I0
per day, and the product $2.4Jl 90 or
$3.50 per day.
In 1890. the wage worker received
% per cent OF his product. In 1900
he received only II per cent of his
product. And millions out of employ
ment all the time II spite of the
great incentive of II Der cent of pro-
duct
But does anybody believe that the
greatest incentive goes with the low
est wages"
How is it in New Zealand? Wit:
wages for S-hour days 80 PEI ':,n:
higher than in Michigan for 10 hours,
and living expenses so per cent less.
She has no almshouses or paupcrs
while Michigan has thousands rf
paupers and inmates of a%mshouso. 1t
would seem that incentive does not
work there as some would have il
work here.

Emma Games In Chicago Zoo Refused
to Nurse Her Own Offspring.
There Is one dog in Chicago that will
feel at home In the African jungle if
her master ever decides to take her
there. She is at present engaged in
nursing two lion cubs. the latest addi-
ton to the zoo at Lincoln park. They
were born to Emma Eames, but the
Honess fatty refused to nurse her off
spring. The two lion babies piteously
proclaimed the fact that they were
hungry. Finally the keeper learned of
Lady Slopes, Boston bulldog. whose
eight puppies had been drowned
Her owner was willing to let her be-
come foster mother to the lion cubs.
Lady Slopes was taken to the lion
house and introduced to the diminutive
kings of the jungle. After a prelimi-
nary survey she wagged her tail ap-
provingly. The cubs ceased to whine
and twenty minutes later they had for
gotten that such thing as hunger ever
existed.

AUTOMOBILE EXPORTS
AGGREGATE $780, 900, 900.
Ten Years Ago the Total Value Was
Less Than $1,0oo,00

Automobiles and parts thereof ex-
ported from the United States during
1911 will aggregate approximately $780,
100000 in value. Figures Of the bu-
reau of statistics, department of COM
merce and labor, show already for the
seven months Of the year for which
export statistics are available, over
100000 worth Of automobiles export
ed, 100000 worth Of parts thereof
other than tires and $1,500,000 worth
of tires, making the aggregate for the
seven months $17,50O.000. Should the
exports continue at the same rate dur
ing the five remaining months of the
year the total would cross the $4,000
600 line Even this does not include
the automobiles sent to Porto Rico.
Hawaii and Alaska. which with the
parts thereof aggregated over $780,
600 value during the last fiscal year.
The increase in the expectation of
this article of American manufacture
has been almost as rapid as the growth
in their line In the United States. The
total value of automobiles and parts
thereof exported in 1901, only decade
ago, was less than $1OO0,OOO; in 1902 1t
passed the $1.000000 line; in 1908 1t
was more than $1,5O0,OOO; in 1905, 81
100000; in 1906, $4,50O,OO0; in 1907,
S5,75O,O00: in 1909. $7,750.000; in 1910,
$130QO,000. and in 1911 seems likely
to be for automobiles along about
S14.OOO,0OO; for parts thereof. except
tires, about $3.5OO,O0O. and for tires
about S2,5Oo,000 These figures are all
for calendar years,
Even this increase in value does not
fully represent the increase In the
number of machines exported. since
the export price has fallen In the
meantime The average export price
of automobiles exported in 1908 was.
in round terms, $1,000. in 1909 $1,000.
in 1910 little over 81 300 and in the
seven months of 1911 for which
figures are now available little over
$1,000 each. the export price having
thus fallen practically one-half since
1908, these figures of average export
prices being obtained by dividing the
stated number of automobiles exported
into the stated value thereof for each
of the years in question.
Canada is by far the largest market
for automobiles exported from the
United States. OF the practically 1900
machines exported In the seven months
ending with July 3.T24 went to Can
