Sanitary Economics.

w. c. GorgaS, surgeon general,
u. S. A., who cleaned up Panama,
has an article in the Constructive
Quarterly" which he calls Santa
ton and Morality" Into it he has
crowded nearly all the wage fallacies
that have ever been believed. He
ras looked over the world and has
found it full of poverty. He is not
willing to say, with Shaw, 1.-The
trouble with the poor is poverty; let
them alone" He is for curing it.
People must stop being poor. The
way to Danish poverty is to raise
wages. 1t is very simple. If people
had more they could live better. SO
he proceeds:
Now wages are affected on the
one hand by the number of persons
connecting for employment, and on
the other hand by the number of
Jobs we have for these persons.
II tne numDcT Nl JUS y bAt"NSi
than the number of persons com
peting. wages will be high and
tend steadily 10 increase, until
finally each man gets all he pro-
duces. Beyond this point wages
cannot increase. If the number of
persons seeking employment is
greater than the number of jobs,
wages will decrease and continue
TO decrease TO a point below which
the laborer cannot go and maintain
life.

Under our present system, the
laborers being more numerous than
the jobs, the tendency is inevitable
for wages gradually to decrease un-
til they reach and pass below the
starvation point. And in such a

class of laborers is constantly
starving and disappearing from
want and the other concomitants
of extreme poverty.
