The Merchant.

The Industrial Union, Of Lamar,
Barton county, Mo-, talks to the
merchants of that town and the mer-
chants of Cecil county, Nd, are not
unlike in any important particulars
than those of Barton county, Mo.
brother merchant, what do you
think is the cause of the present
dullness? It certainly cannot be that
the people of Barton county do not
need your goods. The want exists
and you have the goods. and further
more you are anxious to sell them at
magin which will admit of your
making expenses of business and q
reasonable compensation for your
labor, yet your goods stick to the
SHELVES like poor relative to q rich
uncle. You talk glibly about that
mysterious law of supply and de-
mand which you say. governs all
trade but it will not fit your case.
You have the supply and the demand
for your goods exists in ever house
in the county. There is something
wrong aud it lie not in supply and
demand. The people are FIVE years
behind in supply. Not one home in
ten is comfortably supplied, and the
vaine of Improvements has lost rath.
er than gained in the last five years.
Yet this is a good county, the people
are industrious, sober and frugal.
There is cancer eating somewhere
and unless its growth is stopped it
will reach the merchant. and for that
reason the merchant and business
man should give some close thinking
to the subject. Thirteen hundred
more business failures so far this
year than occurred last year; seven
teen more last week than for the
corresponding week last year means
something lies dangerously close to
mercantile business.
"Want of economy is sometimes
urged the farmers and wage workers
as cause for their present condition.
If further economy becomes neces.
sary > it must be in the purchase of
goods for less money and not less
goods, for the people are purchasing
as rule but the bare necessaries OF
lite, and to purchase goods for less
money means that the people must
pass over the retail merchant and
buy direct from the jobber CO
operatively. No, want of economy
is not the difficulty, nor is it the
high price of goods, or wealth-creat
ing power of the people, but it is the
Internal cancer of interest, rent and
exorbitant transportation charges
that are draining the country of its
wealth, and brother merchants you
want TO wake up and help your GUS
toners stop it, or one of these fine
days it will squeeze the life out of
you as WE'LL"
