SIMPLY DRIFTING.-N. y. World

Whatever farmer may exchange his
corn for-whether greenbacks or .
coat-becomes by the exchange the
produc. OF his labor. He may make
fifty exchanges before he reaches the
final exchange for the thing to be u.s.
or enjoyed, but that last thing is til,
product OF his labor and the final pay
ment for his work.

or business exchange of products with
foreigner pass any product OF
American labor ont of the country or
pass any product Of foreign labor into
the country. When corn is exchanged
(sold) for something the foreigner has,
the corn ceases to be the product of
American labor. What ii has been ex-
changed Tor soldl for becomes the prod
uct of American labor. and is en-
joyed by the American as 1.-The fruit OF

The intelligent farmer could sec that

Farming Is normally the most profit

practically no raw material TO buy.
What the farmer sells his crop for he
puts in his poclSct-it is the wages no

cost OF food. The capital required and
the actual expenses are less than IN
any other business-practically moth

Mill labor Is normally the least prof
liable of pursuits, for the total value
OF the product is mainly made up OF
the cost OF raw material, interest on
plant and other expenses. The wages
are only small fraction of the prod
uct. In 1850, in all manufacturing in
dustrics, the cost value Of the total
product was S5,3d9.5.o.i9l, while the
total wages il represented were much
less than one-iifth. only s947, 053,'o5.
This is the reason why cooperative
mills will never prove profitable-the
wages or earnings are too small for the
labor involved. II all the profit made
in all our mills should be divided
among the workers there would be no
appreciable difference in their general
condition. The division Of the profits
among very few mill-owners, the
employers. alone makes manufactures

mills in equal shares and did their
own work, it would pay them less than
any other investment OF their money
