This article develops the first comprehensive set of estimates of daily hours of work in 1880 using new data from the Census of Manufactures. We conclude that the average workday was almost exactly 10 hours in 1880—almost a decade earlier than hitherto supposed. Our statistical analysis also reveals small but statistically significant variations in hours between firms and industries, between regions, and by location. We also find that higher-paid workers probably substituted leisure for income, that total employment was unresponsive to hours, and that hours and days of employment during the year moved together.

In this work we examine the battles for the presidential succession in 1880. The link between war and politics in the light of some concepts developed by Michel Foucault allow us to reflect on the political and factional violence component associated to the political disputes. Traditional historiography has ignored the examination of the considerations on the definition of the military faculties of the political actors of the period. In this study the war in 1880 is linked to the policy before and after the revolutionary trance, as part of disputes about legal definitions of military power and its relation to the future of the National State. ; En este trabajo se examinan las batallas por la sucesión presidencial en la Argentina de 1880 a partir de la vinculación entre la guerra y la política. A la luz de algunos conceptos elaborado por Michel Foucault nos hemos permitido reflexionar sobre la política facciosa y su componente de violencia asociado a las disputas políticas. Buena parte de la historiografía tradicional ha pasado por alto las consideraciones sobre la definición de las facultades militares realizadas por los propios actores políticos del período. En este estudio se vincula la guerra de 1880 con la política antes y después del conflicto armado, como parte de las disputas acerca de las definiciones legales del poder militar y su relación con el futuro del Estado Nacional.
