Englands wages are ten times those of Asia. nearly double those of continental Europe. while ours are fifteen times those of Asia. and within a fraction of three times the average on the Continent. England scours all the seas of the world for her raw material and carries it home in her ships. She sends to America for our cotton. she searches the world for the bread and meat to feed her operatives. and pays the wages I have stated in the midst of the pauper labor of Europe. and undersells all Europe in their own markets. The same authorsays that in India. with wages at 60 to 70 cents a week. the capital invested in production is onlyabout $35 per head of the population. In Russia. with wages at V3.60 per week. it is 8190 per capita.
