negroes fled. While we were in hot pursuit
of them, Major Wayne received orders that
the main body Of the enemy were advancing
on the other road and we were liable to be

During the night we were reinforced by two

9th the command moved forward with Com

would be the result to hint The bale Of cot
ton would cost him $780, He would manu-
facture it into 5000 yards Of calico at cost
of about $140. If he got no more than five
cents per yard for his product, he would make
$40 per bale on each bale of cotton that he
made into calico.
In cotton manufactures the investment Of
capital is about $650,0O0O00. Therefore, if
every bale Of crop Of 100000 bales should
be manufactured into calico which was sold
by the manufacturer at five cents per pound,
he could afford to pay twenty cents per pound,
because his net profit would be $12000O,0 900,
or nearly twenty per cent upon the capital
invested.
Of course, there may be other manufactures
Of cotton besides calico, which pay larger
per cent Of profit There may be some which
pay less. The probabilities are that there
is considerable uniformity in the profit Of
manufacturing the staple into cloth. There
fore it would seem to be capable Of exact
demonstration that the manufacturers could
afford to pay twenty cents per pound for cot
ton and still make enormous profits, beyond
a reasonable and legitimate return upon their
money.
Rather than pay fair price for cotton and
reduce their fat earnings to more equitable
proportion, the spinners are closing down their
mills, or running on short time. This is the
kind Of patriotism the Tariff tree bears. The
victims Of the tariff must submit to home
extortion, to keep Europe from competing in
our markets; but the benefciaries Of the sys-
tenn will turn out their employees to starve
rather than allow their unnatural profits re-
duced to something reasonable.
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1908-06-04

800, or $40 over and above what he pays for
the raw cotton; consequently his net profit,
even at five cents per yard for the calico, is
somewhere between $40 and $50 per bale.
On crop of 100000 bales, the spinner,
therefore, could make profit Of about $780,
100000.
To the farmer this state Of affairs means
that he sells bale Of cotton for $50 or $50,
and buys it back at from $3.50 to 5000.
No wonder that the statistics published by
the United States government prove that the
agricultural classes are not even making good
wages, whereas the manufacturing classes, aft
er paying wages, raw material, and interest
upon capital, make net profit of $2,000000,-
900. In other words, the official statistics
prove that capital invested in manufacturing,
where it is given by law a monopoly Of the
American market, yields net profit Of TWEEN
ty-nine per cent per year to the manufacture
erS.
Unprotected and competing with the Old
World, the American farmer is not making
any net profit whatever upon his investment.
AS rule, he barely gets a living.
Coming now to the question as to what cot
ton really is WORTH let us figure it out another
way. Suppose the manufacturer paid you
fifteen cents per pound for your cotton. In
that case, bale weighing 500 pounds would
cost the manufacturer $75. He would manu-
facture it into 5000 yards of calico at cost
Of about $115 or $120. Selling his calico at
five cents per pound, the bale Of cotton would
yield him $3.50; therefore his profit would be
about $50 per bale.
Let us suppose that the manufacturer paid
twenty cents per pound for cotton. What
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1908-06-04

At this time, when the farmers are holding
their crop for fifteen cents per pound, it is
we'll for them to have some actual knowledge
Of what the price should be.
We read in the newspapers that the tobac-
CO growers have been selling leaf tobacco at
sixteen cents per pound When the growers
organized to fight the Trust, the price of tobac
co had been run down by the Trust to four
and FIVE cents per pound
A few years ago cotton was run down to SIX
cents, and Theodore Price, the leader Of the
bears Of Wall Street. declared that it would
go down to five cents.
The Farmers Union and similar organiza-
tions determined that they should have some
thing nearer the value of their product, and
the result is that since cotton dropped to six
cents, it has sold as high as sixteen cents. It
is now sagging between ten and eleven cents
What ought the price to be? Is cotton really
worth more than ten cents?
Let us look at the facts. A bale Of cotton
weighing 500 pounds will make about 5000
yards of calico To manufacture this bale of
cotton into 5000 yards of calico will cost
about 800, including the cost Of the raw cot
ton. Therefore, if the manufactured product
(the CALICO sells at seven cents per yard, the
bale Of cotton will yield to the manufacturer
$21O. His profit on the bale, then, is about
800. But let say that the spinner only
gets an average of five cents for his calico
This will be $3.50 for the 5000 yards which
are made from the bale of cotton In that
event, he buys bale of cotton for $50 (as-
Stunning that he pays twelve cents for it),
and sells it for $3.50 In the manufacture Of
the cotton his entire expenses will be about
