There is no way of keeping profits up but by keeping wages down.

NOTHING contributes so much to the prosperity and happiness of a country as high profits.

Rent is the portion of the earth, which is paid to the landlord for the user of the original and indestructible powers of the soil

A rise in wages, from an alteration in the value of money, produces a general effect on price, and for that reason it produces no real effect whatever on profits.

The rise or fall of wages is common to all states of society, whether it be the stationary, the advancing, or the retrograde state.

As the revenue of the farmer is realized in raw produce, or in the value of raw produce, he is interested, as well as the landlord, in its high exchangeable value, but a low price of produce may be compensated to him by a great additional quantity.
