PREFATORY NOTE.

This essay is a prospectus and somewhat more. It serves to indicate the scope and character of a fuller discussion that, if present plans are executed, will in due time follow it. It anticipates to some extent the work of that discussion, and is issued to avoid delay in bringing before the minds of students of economics certain principles not yet recognized, but seemingly obvious enough to win assent, even though briefly presented. It may be found that these principles settle questions of agrarian socialism, and carry the study of the general wage problem to a point where a solution of it will be more nearly possible than it has been. The practical fruit of the discussion will appear in the latter part of it, and may perhaps compensate the reader for being detained for a time in a region of abstract thought.

J. B. CLARK. NORTHAMPTON, MASS.
