author n fair price fer his production,
then adds profit to his investment
large enough to satisfy himself and
| compensate him, not only for his
| labor, but also for the risk Of pecu-
mary loss which he assumes in taking
the chances OF the enterprise proving
a success, and when the State, County
AMI canvassing agent has each receiv-
/ ed his profit, they have added to the
/ expense OF book, that originally cost
t about 81 %, so much that the people
/ have to pay not less than 81. 90 for it.

! uiary reach OF all classes by the author.
