healthy rule in all business relations.

Then, for instance, ws have . mesch-
ant or manufacturer in our m DIST,
who, when he wants bill-hsads car'ls,
or circulars or dodgers, sends his
work to Baltimore or some other
point, for his own reasons, the money
paid therefor never to the extent Of a
dime returns TO his own till when,
if he should give the employment and
the money to the printers of his own
city, every dollar of it would find its
way into the marts Of home trade and
would foster the interests Of the city.
Our merchants and manufacturers
would patronize home industry, and
in return the earnings of that indus
try shonli return to them as re-
ward OF their considerations for home
interests. In this way thrift may be
secured to every department Of trade
within our own city, and it will at
once take up step in the march of
general prosperity. All things Icing
equal-and if not equal they should
at oncs be made so-every citizen of
Washington should spend his money
at home for all that can be obtained
IN our midst. Then all will thrive"

had no connection with the late up
