If a manufacturer had also employed 3000_l._ in his business, he would be obliged in consequence of the rise of wages, to increase his capital, in order to be enabled to carry on the same business. If his commodities sold before for 720_l._, they would continue to sell at the same price; but the wages of labour, which were before 240_l._, would rise when corn was at 5_l._ 2_s._ 10_d._ to 274_l._ 5_s._ In the first case he would have a balance of 480_l._ as profit on 3000_l._, in the second he would have a profit only of 445_l._ 15_s._, on an increased capital, and therefore his profits would conform to the altered rate of those of the farmer.

白话
制造商也逃不掉。如果他也用3000镑资本，工资上涨后，他得追加资本才能维持同样生意。产品售价不变，但工资从240镑涨到274镑5先令，利润就从480镑降到445镑15先令。而且他的资本增加了，所以利润率下降得和农场主一样。这说明，工资上涨对所有行业利润的打击是普遍的。
上下文
李嘉图比较农场主和制造商，说明工资上涨对利润的影响是跨行业的。
今日一问
如果你的行业工资普遍上涨，你会如何调整经营策略来保持利润？
