The story is told of a tramp who came to a certain valley, which
was inundated by a freshet in a river. There was a great demand
for help to carry persons and property in boats to a place of
safety. The tramp threw down the bundle, which contained all
he had in the world, and declared: “This is my harvest.” He
demanded ten dollars a day, and went to work at that rate. This
was true philosophy. He kept out of the labor market until the
“conjuncture” of supply and demand was all on his side, and
then he went in.--Prof. WILLIAM G. SUMNER, _The
Independent_.
