An exchange tells the story of a boy
who was sent 10 market with a sack of
roasting ears, and after lingering around
town Ali day, came home without selling
them. When asked by his mother why he
had not sold the corn, he said no one had
asked him what was in the sack. Just so
How many Of our merchants are like this
little boy. They have plenty of goods for
sale, but fail to tell what is in the sack.
lfyou expect to sell goods in this day and
age of the world, you must open your sack
and keep shouting the merits of your stock
in trade.
Free trade means cheaper clothing to
the working man, cheaper tools to the me
chanic and cheaper implements to the
farmer. 1t means that New Jersey silk
mills need not sell their silks in France in
order to import and pay duty on their own
products with money taken from the pock-
cts of the consumer. 1t means that such
monopolies as the Watham Watch Co.,
must sell their watches to Americans in
America as cheap as it now sells them to
the Englishman in England or the German
in Germany. 1t means that farmers shall
get more for their wheat and pay less for
expenses that two dollars shall 90 as far
as three dollars with protection, and that
the difference will come from the dividends
of the rich stockholders and not from the
hard earned wages of the laborer. Voters
should think of this when they 60 to the
polls and cast their ballot next Tuesday.
Mr.. Will D. Christmsn, who has been
editor Of The BULLETIN for two weeks or
SO, laid down the scissors yesterday and
began to put his grip in order for return |
to his prairie home IN Fredonia, Kan. He
came up to visit his mothers family and |
finding the vacancy on THE BULLETIN con-
cluded he would try it awhile. He has
been engaged in running q weekly paper
ever since he left here, and he argued that |
1t would be much more interesting to run
a daily. But in giving US description of |
his conclusions in regard to the matter af-
Ter he had tried it awhile he expressed a
strong preference for the weekly. To be
compelled to grind out about so much copy
,very day subjected man to degree of
slavery that he simply could not stand On
weekly you may be sure that while some
lays may be dull, the week will average
up well and there is no need to worry about
copy, except to decide what can be left
out best Argus.
Speaking of Sir Moses Montefore, an
exchange says; "The whole civilized world
