As is well known the principle of virtual velocities transforms all statics into a mathematical assignment, and by d'alembert's principle for dynamics, the latter is again reduced to statics. although it is is very much in order that in gradual training of science and in the instruction of the individual the easier precedes the more difficult, the simple precedes the more complicated, the special precedes the general, yet the min, once it has arrived at the higher standpoint, demands the reverse process whereby all statics appears only as a very special case of mechanics.

Labor, being itself a commodity, is measured as such by the labor time needed to produce the labor-commodity. and what is needed to produce this labor-commodity? just enough labor time to produce the objects indispensable to the constant maintenance of labor, that is, to keep the worker alive and in a condition to propagate his race. the natural price of labor is no other than the wage minimum.

The devil is not only a liar, but also a murderer, he constantly seeks our life, and wreaks his anger whenever he can afflict our bodies with misfortune and harm. hence it comes that he often breaks men's necks or drives them to insanity, drowns some, and incites many to commit suicide, and to many other terrible calamities. therefore there is nothing for us to do upon earth but to pray against this arch enemy without ceasing. for unless god preserved us, we would not be safe from him even for an hour.
