-Average Earnings of Millions Who Ire

TWO TEEMS WITH THE SAME MEAXISG
J-B-RITTEX Ton TUE DISPATCH. 1
In the lonan, for September, 1891, the
writer presented a condensed statement of
the income and expenditure of the United
- States for the fiscal year ending June 30,
1SS9, in the enstomarr form of an account
current such as every merchant or banker
renders to his correspondents who,, truit
their money or merchandise in his control.
It -were well that the Government of the
United Sstatcs should be held to the same
form of accountability, as the national taxes
are placed in its hands under the same con
ditions of trust.
Nothing is more common in public dis
cussion, especially on the part of very sin
cere menivho represent what is called na
tionalism, collectivism, and other more or
less mild forms of socialism, despotism, or
communism, than to impute to the State
the possession of an immense property
vhich it should deal with in a so-called
"liberal" manner. Acain, nothing is more
common than for shallow and unthinking
men, even in business life, to advocate "lib
eral appropriations" by Congress for boun
ties, subsidies and expenditures of all kinds
that are esteemed semi-public enterprises,
but are in fact undertaken mainly if not
wholly for private gain.
Xotr the State, in the sense in which that
word is used to designate either the Nation,
or each separate member of the Union. or
the city or the town possesses no property
exceptpublic buildings that have been paid
tor out of taxes, and the unsold portions of
public lands. The income of the State is
wholly derived from taxation, and all its
funds are held in trust for the public service
only. It can impropriate or become pos
sessed of property ouiy by way of taxation.
Tlie Tariff Only a Ut or Taxes or DuticK.
The very definition of a tax in the dic
tionary, by which a court must be governed
in the construction of revenue acts, is "a
rate or sum of money assessed on the per
son or property of a citizen by Government
ior the ue of the Nation or State."
The definition of a duty is also "an im
post, customs, tribute or tax." Some per
rons hold that "a tariff is not a tax." A
tariff is only a list of taxes or duties.
There is no difference between a dutyor a
tax in law or equity, and no distinction
can be made. All the fallacies about put
ting our burdens upon other nations by
taxing imports may be set aside. A duty
is a tax, and all the taxes that the Govern
ment receives the people pay; when such
taxes are badly assessed the people may pay
c. great deal more than the Government re
ceives, or, what is perhaps worse, many
people may be deprived of the opportunity
to apply their work in the most productive
way by a bad system of taxation.
Taxation is but one of the several meth
ods by which the annual product of the
community is distributed. These methods
of distribution are named rents, profits, in
terest, salaries, earnings, wages, stealings
and taxes.
The annual product, which is the subject
of such distribution, is the measure or re
sult of the annual work, whether the work
be mental, manual or mechanical. It cor
responds to the effective work or exertion
of productive energy of that 'part of the
population which does the work, number
ing about one in three of the population
such being the proportion occupied for gain.
Seven Ier Cent or Iho Product Pajs Taxe.
The aggregate of taxation national, state,
county, city and town, so far as the writer
has been able to compute it, comes to about
six or seven per cent of the product; it,
therefore, represents six or seven per cent
of the whole work of the community, to
which all contribute in ratio to their con
sumption or use of subjects of taxation.
National taxes, including postal service,
ome to more than one-half the total burden.
Out of our present population of over
05,000,000 there are about 23,000,000
who are at work in the sense of being "oc
cupied for gain" in professional and" per
sonal service, trade and transportation,
manufacturing, mechanic, arts and mining,
and agriculture. Their average earnings
which are the measure of the value of their
product may be at the rate of two dollars a
day lor three hundred days in the year six
hundred dollars' worth for each group of
three persons but there are a vastly greater
number, probably ninety per cent of all
who are occupied for gain, who secure less
than that sum, than there are who secure
more in the distribution of the product
The average of the whole working com
munity mental, manual and mechanical
includes, of course, the share of the product
which falls to capital as well as to labor
to the administrative as well as the work
ing force. It represents a division of the
total product at its final valuation by the
total number who share the work in any
way.
What a ThoDsand Persons Produce.
In lgSO the list of persons who were occu
pied for gain was made out under four titles,
and under each of these titles the sub
divisions were given. The subsequent varia
tions in the ratio of one class to another
liave not been great. If we apply the pro
portions of 1880 to the working force of the
present day, computed at 23,000,000 men,
women and young persons, we get the fol
lowing results. There arc approximately in
each thousand persons the following di
visions of occupations:
L Clenrjrmen, lawyers, doctors, chief
ollicer? of bnnks, raihoails, insur
ance companies,and the likcwhose
work is mental or administrative. 40
2. llrichants.tradesmen, hotel keepers.
clerks, salesmen, saleswomen, etc CO
S. "Work uf a collective kind conducted
in factories an d workshop?, textile.
iron or steel, machine shops, boots
and shoes, etc
. Mechanical work of an individual
order, carpenters, masons, black
smiths, etc
C Pcional service Domestic servants.
100
107
draymen, railways and express,
sailors, waiters, etc 131
0. Laborers on farms, laborers not spec
ified, and laborers In mines, etc 312
7. Agriculturists Fanners, stock
raisers 250
Total 1,000
I think that SCCO.OOO worth of product; is
now the average annual value of the result
of the average woik of each 1,000 persons
who are occupied for gain substantially in
these proportions; upon each one of these
two others depend. At this ratio our pres
ent annual product, measured in gold,
comes to $13,000,000,000.
Every tax imposed by nation, State, town
or city is a Jfcinand on the community to
give so many days work to be devoted to
the service of the State. If we adopt $2 a
day as the unit of labor by which to measure
taxation, the analysis of the cost of the
Government of the United States may be
come a little more interesting to the masses
who are taxed "unbeknownst like" for its
support, it being observed that all so-called
"indirect" taxes, that is to say, all taxes
which are put upon articles which enter
into common consumption are paid by con
sumers in proportion to their consumption
of such articles.
How the Burden Is Borne.
It being assumed that no great change has
occurred in this distribution of occupations
since 1880, the present number who bear
the burden of taxation are as follows:
Class 1. Clergymen, lawyers, ad
ministrative officials of
' corporations, etc., etc... 920,000
Class 2. Merchants, clerks, and
other distributors 1,380,000
Class 3. Factory operatives and
others in collective work. 2,300,000
Class i. Mechanics working indi
vidually rather than col
lectively .-. 2,1000
Class 5. Personal service of ail
kinds 3,013,000
Class 6.
Class 7.
I.aboiers 7.176.000
Fanners 5,750,000
23,000,000
Computed population over 63,000,000
If the joint product of this great body by
whom the work of the country is done can
be computed at $200 worth per head or
$600 for each of the 23,000,000 persons by
whom the work is done, then that product
is the source from which all rents, profits,
interest, salaries, earnings, wages, stealings
and taxes are derived. Taxation and work
are therefore synonymous terms or different
words for the same thing.
The measure of the national taxes in terms
of work will be the subject of No. IL
Edwakd ATKUiSOir.
