Note 35 — Chapter IV · —PRINCIPLES OF WAGES (Continued)

For an eloquent and incisive discussion of this whole subject, based, of course, on the facts of his own time, see the chapter in J. S. Mill, "Principles of Political Economy," entitled "Of the differences of wages in different employments." Book II, Chapter XIV, concludes: "Consequently the wages of each class have hitherto been regulated by the increase of its own population rather than of the general population of the country."
