Since It Is To The Advantage Of The Wage-payer To Pay As Little As Possible, Even Well-paid Labor Will Have No More Than What Is Regarded In A Particular Society As The Reasonable Level Of Subsistence. The Lower Ranks Of Labor Will Commonly Have Less, And If Public Relief Were Afforded Even Up To The Wage-level Of The Lowest Ranks Of Labor, That Relief Would Compete In The Labor Market; Check Or Dry Up The Supply Of Wage-labor. It Would Tend To Render The Performance Of Work By The Wage-earner Redundant.
