 those which have over 70 per cent, in farm work. In other words, one man in 

 the first class realizes as much as the three men who are competing with each 

 other, having little outlet for surplus production. Three brothers in Alabama, 

 laboring through the year, get as much for their aggregate produce as one 

 farmer receives in Pennsylvania, simply because that farmer has a brother en- 

 gaged in manufacture and another in mining. It Is because in one case there 

 is a market for one product only, thousands of miles away; in the other, there 

 are markets at every door. 



The same state of facts was shown in 1870, and similar differences will illua- 

 Irate the value of diversified labor in 1890.
