W hen one hnds an opening and leaves

the value of his service shows for itself in
some way that commands recognition
Thus, In the early days of agriculture
farmers send their produce to market Nv
man who makes business of marketing
for others. He can handle the product Of
ten farmers, say, and hence twenty farm
ers give living to two middle-men. f
ter time man turns up that is smart
enough to sell the produce of twenty
farmers, and obtain better prices for the
producers, by taking little off from the
commissions, and soon he gets all the
business and his two rivals are obliged to
retire from the field. When they are ont.
the profits which were divided between
the two are taken by one, less the small
discount that he made to the farmers to
secure their custom. Now, doing the
work of two, he saves the time and the
expense on the road of one, and so, while
they just made living, he rapidly accu-
mulates, and makes money faster than
the farmers who raise the produce which
he only sells. In few years he is the
richest man in town, and the farmers.
looking only at the result, are dissatis-
fed, and though he has done the selling
for them for less than any other man had
ever done it for that community. thew
complain of him as an extortioner. or
rOODer OF Inc poor men VINO have done
all the hard work. To state it mildly. he
is non-producer who has eaten up the
farmers of the town. And what has hap
pened to the farmers has happened to all
others. The competent manufacturer has
come in, and by doing much larger bus
mess has retired several incompetents to
the ranks; the competent trader has done
the same, the banker has done it, the ex-
pressrnan has done it, and all others have
