OF course you do; plenty OF time
answers not required until June

make $40 by thought, we want to
say that hundreds of people have
been saving worry, time and money
by cutting out and sending to us
the orders we have published; but
as the profit on them is so extreme
ly small, las any one can see) we
are going to withdraw them after
18th June, 80 that if you need fur
niture, want bargains, and desire
to avail yourself of the chance to
buy cheap, and only have about
half the usual amount to pay down,
why just cut out any of these or
ders and send them in; don't allow
yourself to be disappointed by for
getting that after 10Th of Jun,

Fundamental Principle Of
Free

What is the Fundamental principle
of Free-TradeI To seek for II reminds
one of the Yankee definition Of hunting
flea You put your finger on 1t, but 1t
isn't there The guiding principle, as
enunciated by Golden, was ITO buy in
the cheapest market and sell in the dear
est. He called this christian" and his
colleague, Bright, elevated it to the dig
nifty of sacred" Yet few months ago,
moved by sundry revelations, Free Ira
ders at large declared that "cheapness in
itself was not all unmixed blessing =
that "the doctrine Of buying in the cheap
est market had been carried too far y
and even Cobden's own daughter, who is
at present sitting in the London Council,
has gone so far against her fathers prin-
clple as to publicly announce In her cleo
torlal address that in contracts projected
by that council she would take every
possible precaution that only the offers
OF those who treat their workmen well
and justly would be accepted" Yet, to
judge from the present style of argument
about the sugarbounty system, we might
take the main principle Of Free Traders
to be: Don't trouble whether a thing Is
Free-Trade or not so long as it's cheap,
and never mind jot how that cheapness
is come at" Free-Trade is, In the sheer
est fact, reduced to nothing more nor
less than foul and degrading lust OF
cheapness. american Economist,
