4 BALE OF COTTON.

There is a great deal of figuring
done on this staple by the great.
est mouied concerns OF this country
and England, and every calcula-
ton results in a profit to every
one concerned. excepting the pro-
ducer. Capitalists do not invest
their money in enormous amounts
where there are not enormous pro-
fits in sight. Where these great
concerns fail one time they succeed
a hundred times. From the hands
of the producer the cotton passes
through a dozen different hands
before it again. in the shape OF
manufactured goods, reaches the
man who produced it. From the
producer a bale of cotton goes in
regular order to the gin, to the
street buyer, to the warehouse. to
the compress, to the railway and
steamboat lines, to the warehouse
again and thence to the factory.
From the time it enters the gin
till it is manufactured into fabric,
it passes through many hands.
Every man that touches it as it
goes its grand rounds, till it is
worn by the man who planted,
picked and marketed it, makes his
profit, ranging from twenty-five
cents on up into dollars. and the
farmer PAYS the freight" along
the line. All of it is a legitimate
transaction. and every man is en-
titled to his take off," The gin
man must have his pay; the buyer
his; his office assistants theirs
the insurance. man his. The cost OF
transportation must come out OF
that bale; the factory's profit
must come, and the capitalist who
furnishes the money to pay for it
and salaries of his buyers and the
incidental expenses, must have &
liberal take off," Where does
the profit, at four and One-halt
cents per pound, come in for thu
p-oducerF The man who raise!
it is about the only one who stands
a chance of getting the worst of it
But on his efforts, whether h'
makes or loses, depends the sue
cess Of every one else who handles
