Henry George uses it in _Progress in Poverty_ (1879) where he speaks about 
"the law of wages": 
 
"It is frequently said of such countries as California and Nevada that 
cheap labor would enormously aid their development, as it would enable the 
working of the poorer but most extensive deposits of ore. A relation 
between low wages and a low point of production is perceived by those who 
talk in this way, but they invert cause and effect. It is not low wages 
which will cause the working of low grade ore, but the extension of 
production to the lower point which will diminish wages." (Bk III, Ch. 6) 
 
George also speaks of "points of inferior production" or "inferior points 
of production" in Book IV, Chapter 1, and of "lower points of production" 
in Chapter 2.
