the duty of home enterprise and Industry to
encourage home purchasers. The rule must
work both ways or it cannot work at all. We
hear continual complaints from the Virginia CT
country merchants pass them by and purchase
goods in Baltimore, Philadelphia and New
York We canot say for certain, but We are
not acquainted with single house i'll the three

lug Inducements TO purchasers. y commercial
traveller from Il Virginia city would be acurios-
ty The employment of the proper means will
certainly bring trade. bur Virginia .obbcrS must
not expect to sit Idle and expect trade To flow
into their hands, simply because they live in
Virginia
As the season has arrived in which the coun
try merchants generally go to the cities Tor
their spring supplies. We think 1t appropriate to
call their attention TO the Inducements offered
hv the merchants of AleXandrla especially
One merchantin that city informs Us that he
will duplicate any bill from the Baltimore and
New York houses in his line Of trade. If this
be the case, and we have 10 doubt OF 1t, It
would be almost criminal for retail buyers to
pass him and spend their means outside OF the
State And we are satitied that if the country
merchants could become practically satisfied OF
this fact, they would GO no farther than Mex
andria, as they arc sufficiently Shrewd to know
that every dollar retained in the State adds
that much to the value of property and the re-
'duction Of taxes We think it the duty OF the
retail dealers in the Valley to examine the
Alexandria market and it proper nducement
is offered to purchase there. No city III the
United States has been more liberal to the Vat
ley than Alexandria, and we feel as II she be-
longed to the Valley instead of being ON the
other side of the Blue Ridge, and would re-
joicc to see Il larger trade opened between, our
people and her merchants. But SO quiet have
been her dry goods and notion merchants here
tofore that larg proportion of the people have
an idea that there is nothing for sale i'll the old
city but salt, plaster and fish. She is coming
out of this, letting the world know she has
something else for sale, and, we hope, is enter
ing upon an increased business prosperity.
