Never send dollar away from home
when the article that the dollar will

Money is our financial blood It's cir

Bleed that body by sending your money
AWAY from home. and soon trade will
put on look of lethnrgy and inactivity.
Always trade ut home and spend your
money at home. 1t is twice blessed.

SOME REASONS WHY.
why Wages Arc Higher In tho
CnIted states Than In Eng.
iund.

"Why are wages 30 much higher In
protected America than in tree-trade
England?" ask the men who attribute
every blessing Of this favored land to
high tnxes.
These nre some OF the reasons why:
Because the United States have IL
area of 5000, 900 sIGnre miles of terri
tory, while Great Britain has but 49,
$40.
Because the United Stutes have q
population of only IA to the square
mile. while Great Britain has $50 peo.
pie crowded upon the same space.
Because the United States contain
over 100000 farms, that produced. in
1879, q value of over $2,213, 600, 900,
while Great Britain is subject to the
curse of entailed estates and vast I'M
productive preserves.
Because the United States have l5O,-
900 miles OF railway. while Great Brit
min has but 10 900.
Because the United States are richer
in mines, quarries, forests and other
natural productions, cnd afford greater
diversity Of climate. soil and employ
ment to their inhabitants than any
other country in the world.
Because, i'll addition to this greater
field md demand for labor, the in!elli-
gence, energy and productive skill of
Our working people surpass those of
any other nation.
These are some of the reasons why
wages are higher here than in England,
have always been so under low tariffs
aud high mriffs alike, and would be no
