must perforce admit that she is talk
In" not for money, neither to satisfy

in the work Of reforming men and wo-

HARD TElEs..
some Of the Causes which Make
Money scarce.


That times are hard, money scarce
and business dull in Winnemucca at the
present time,. none will dispute. Mer-
chants, business men, in short every
body join in the. general cry Of DUH
simes. One Of the principal reasons
assigned for the scarcity of money is,
that a great many send abroad for the
principal part of what they eat and
wear: 1t is stated on good authority
that froml $500 to $500 a. day is sent
East and West for articles that can be
purchased of home merchants This is
fatal to the life and prosperity of the
place, and is one of the surest and
speediest methods knowhfo killing
town. Not. one dollar of the money
thus expended 6aais its way back here.
Those who receive it pay no license or
taxes, nor contribute in any way to- the
support or prosp Gritty of this communal
ty. Theydo not assist the farmer by
creating demand for bis products, nor
the mechanic or laborer by giving them
employment. What they receive is
gone, and gone forever froms this com.
munity. People sho,tlabear these facts
in mines and acton the motto of Live
and let live" BY expanding at home
the money sent abroad for what can be
purchased here, it. will enable mer
chants to reduce prices, because the
more they sell for cash the cheaper they
can afford to sell; and this rule is APP
plicable to all kinds of business. Print
ers "know how it is themselves. We
spend our money at home, yet there are
those who will send abroad to have
their printing done, probably because
we cannot compete with San Francisco
prices. They, like those who are daily
sending orders for dry goods and other
articles to California; ST.. beuis and
New York, forget that if prices are a
little lagher here, the.money is expend.
ed at home and. makes times livelier.
Others, if theywant suit of clothes,
or a pair Of boots. aade, must send
abroad to have it done, not thinking
that the California tailor or bootmaker
never spends a dime here or contributes
in any manner whatever to the support
or prosperity of the community. 1t is
greatly to be hoped that purchasers will
see the necessity of changing this policy
and patronizing home merchants and
tradesmen, and that the latter will, by
