Note 14 — TO THE YOUTH OF FRANCE.

I shall explain this law by figures: Suppose three periods during which capital increases, labour remaining the same. Let the total production at these three periods be as 80—100—120. It will be thus divided:

Capitalist’s share. Labourer’s share. Total.

First Period, 45 35 80

Second Period, 50 50 100

Third Period, 55 65 120

Of course these proportions are merely given for the sake of illustration.
