  Wages \Wa"ges\ (w[=a]"j[e^]z), n. plural in termination, but
     singular in signification. [Plural of wage; cf. F. gages,
     pl., wages, hire. See Wage, n.]
     1. A compensation given to a hired person for services; price
        paid for labor; recompense; hire. See Wage, n., 2.
        [1913 Webster]
  
              The wages of sin is death.            --Rom. vi. 23.
        [1913 Webster]
  
     2. (Economics) The share of the annual product or national
        dividend which goes as a reward to labor, as distinct from
        the remuneration received by capital in its various forms.
        This economic or technical sense of the word wages is
        broader than the current sense, and includes not only
        amounts actually paid to laborers, but the remuneration
        obtained by those who sell the products of their own work,
        and the wages of superintendence or management, which are
        earned by skill in directing the work of others.
        [Webster 1913 Suppl.]
  
     Wages fund (Polit. Econ.), the aggregate capital existing
        at any time in any country, which theoretically is
        unconditionally destined to be paid out in wages. It was
        formerly held, by Mill and other political economists,
        that the average rate of wages in any country at any time
        depended upon the relation of the wages fund to the number
        of laborers. This theory has been greatly modified by the
        discovery of other conditions affecting wages, which it
        does not take into account. --Encyc. Brit.

  Wager \Wa"ger\, n.
  
     Wagering, or gambling, contract. A contract which is of
        the nature of wager. Contracts of this nature include
        various common forms of valid commercial contracts, as
        contracts of insurance, contracts dealing in futures,
        options, etc. Other wagering contracts and bets are now
        generally made illegal by statute against betting and
        gambling, and wagering has in many cases been made a
        criminal offence. Wages \Wa"ges\, n. pl. (Theoretical
