sacrificed at it's royal behest.
The greater the degree of
civilization the more intricate
and complex the laws govern
ing it. The greatest minds of
the world are puzzled over
tariffs and exchanges. With
the savage it's a plain matter
here's one and there's the other,
and to many minds his is the
better mode-it cuts off the
vast army of middleworkers
simplifies intricacies, closes
every transaction and fixes at
once the loss and gain.
What has all this to do with
country store keeping-only
this-the smaller transaction
illustrates the larger-the same
laws and impulses apply. The
strife is for the proft-for the
gain. And how far would
cupidity go but for competition
and sometimes that confounds
itself-too much of good
thing. But the country store
keeper is the man we want to
put forward-that's our bust
ness-protit is our object
legitimate profit fair to the
buyer-fair to the seller-our
living is in it. But we are not
hard to satisfy-the merchant
prince is too far in the distance
we can't see him-our am
bition is to make a decent liv-
ing by honest trading, and to
that end we offer you every
inducement, to trade with us.
To do your buying and selling
with us, by an exchange of
whatever you produce of a
marketable character, for the
merchandise we sell and which
you need, or for its equivalent
in the paper currency of the
country, gold or silver, paying
us therefore, just such price as
the depression of the times
warrants you in paying, and
considering the feeble prices
which the farmer now receives
for his wheat and his corn.

Errors which were found in the report of the
