As any particular commodity comes to be more manufactured, that

part of the price which resolves itself into wages and profit,

comes to be greater in proportion to that which resolves itself

into rent. In the progress of the manufacture, not only the

number of profits increase, but every subsequent profit is

greater than the foregoing; because the capital from which it is

derived must always be greater. The capital which employs the

weavers, for example, must be greater than that which employs the

spinners; because it not only replaces that capital with its

profits, but pays, besides, the wages of the weavers: and the

profits must always bear some proportion to the capital.
