THE PROFITS OF BUSINESS

THE PROFITS OF BUSINESS. One of the greatest mistakes which those concerned in the labor movement have made is in overestimating the profits of business Some of their orators have used figures found in the census to show the profits of manu- featuring. For instance, they take the $5, 1868, ,679, 900 which represents the value of the products of the manufacturing establish ments From this is deducted $3, ,396, ,s23,- ,- 900 which represents the value of raw ma terials. From the remainder, s1, 792. 756, ,OO0, they deduct the amount paid for wages, $947, ,953, 800, which leaves $1, ,024, ,sO2, 200, which they declare is the profit upon the $2, 790, ,272, 900 of capital invested in manu- factures in 1880, and that this profit is more than 36 per cent. on the investment.
 This is more or less impressive, but it is not fair. A writer in the Boston Journal thoroughly reveals the misleading nature of this statement. He points out that in the labor item is not included the salaries of the working proprietors of manufacturing estab- lishments. Of these establishments there were 253, ,852 in 1880. It would be low average to put the number of such propri- etors at two to each establishment, or half millien men. Their services as necessary as those of any other laborers, and would be cheap at $1 900 each year, for they include the army of able and skillful foremen and superintendents and expert accountants. Here we have $500, ,000,0 900 which must be deducted from the profits above given. Then at least five per cent. on the capital in- vested must be deducted for the wear and tear of machinery, repairs to buildings and losses by fires not covered by insurance. The plant of manufacturing establishment must be renewed much oftener than once in twenty years. Here we have SAC, 1000, ,000 ts be taken from the called item of profits. Taxes, insurance and bad debts are estimated to be at least two per cent on the capital, which would be $55, 900, 900. The item of power, which includes the cost of the coal and the maintenance of the water power which is employed, is no where else accounted for, and consequently must be taken from the item which represents the profits, which is estimated at $50, ,00O,0 ,000. Deducting all these sums from the $1, ,024, ,802, 200 given as profits on the capital invested, leaves about $250, ,000, 900, or about nine per cent. op the capital invested.
 The estimates made by the Journal writer are low, and it is probable that six per cent is a nearer measure of the profits of manu features in this country than nine. We know Q good many manufacturers in this city who would be glad to be assured of six per cent. profit on their business.

A Boston story.


 J. is young wide awake business man on State street. Sauntering about at the Art exhibition recently he chanced to meet a friend, deaf mute, who was conversing with companion in sign language. Greet ing J. cordially, the deaf mute drew out 8 pocket pad and pencil and after brief pen cil and paper conversation introduced his companion by the same means and shortly after withdrew.
 J. and the gentleman discussed the pie lures pleasantly for twenty minutes or more, meanwhile covering the backs of sundry en- velopes and scraps of paper with their pen cillings, when fourth character in this lit tie drama came upon the scene, friend of Us new made acquaintance.
 ssHello, Georgel" said the new made &C., ouaintance to the new conner, familiarly, dhow do you like the pictures this yearg'
 "Thunder and Marsl" exclaimed J. in sur prise, 'tcan you talka"
 'tWell, I should say so," said the gentleman equally surprised, as he suddenly put away pencil and paper.
 "Ain't you deaf and dumba"
 stNot by good deala" J. replied, thrusting into his pocket an envelope nearly covered with pencil marks, "but I'll kill Dummy, next timeI meet him."
 The joke was too good to keep, and the newcomer let it out upon the earliest occasion.

The above in some measure explains the continuation of our business here beyond the time previously announced. Regrets having been so universally ex- pressed that our store should be closed, and no one having as yet made a lease of the prem ises, with MT. Russell's consent we shall remain a little longer to see whether someone will come forward to carry on the business. Meanwhile the clos ing out will continue. Our stock, though not half in volume what it once was, is still we'll assorted and whatever departments are depleted will at once be replen- ished with new and desirable goods. These will be marked on par with the low prices-the very low prices-which have prevailed since our sale began. We expect to have a large trade, we cannot but have a large trade, as we shall offer merchandise lower, a great deai lower, than it could ordinarily be sold for. We shall not note any particular bar gains for this week, but on Mon- day we shall have a great many special inducements to offer.
