When winter comes, the workers all need clothing. I must buy all the cotton and then keep a tight hold on it.

When the cold weather comes then clothing will cost more.

These cotton spinning mills pay such high wages. There’s far too much cotton anyway.

Men take too much feeding.
That’s what makes them so expensive.

For the making of food, men are needed.
The cooks make the food cheaper,
but those who eat it make it expensive!

Do I know, do you know, what’s this thing
called a man? God only knows what a man is;
I only know its price.
