A PLAN OUTLINED.

AhAN hAALANAus
A friend, whose mind has lcsu
somewhat given to financial mAitcra,
has outlined plan for the encourage.
mcnt Of home manufactures which,
though not reduced to detail nor
eptcilo form, seems h "a 10 embrace
IDEAS capable Of being utilized with
valuable results. He suggests that all
tho different manufacturing enter.
prlses In given district, say this city,
which put out products that sock a
home market and that have a honn
payroll, unite In tho establishment Of
alargs central stors or depot, the man.
ngement Of which shall be under the
direction Of the manufacturer who
create II.
Eieh manufacturer will furnish 10 the
central depot a supply Of his products,
ana receive In payment therefor scrip
redeomAblo In such merchandise anu
commodities "a are carried by the cen.
trail Institution. The manufacturer who
receives this scrip pays It out
to his employees. who go 10 the central
depot and make their purchases with
H., as they would spend money ut
store. la this way an employo In one
manufacturing institution would have
his way opened to purchase any article
produced In any other establishment
which was Ia the union; ami zach
manufacturer In the arrangement
would have his home market on.
larged by the demands that would
come from the employees Of all the
others.
A farmer desiring 10 exchange hay,
grain, potatoes, ETC., for any OF the
products Of home manufacturing in
situations, could take his produce to the
couifal depot, where the exchange
could be made; and IA this way the
employees OF all tho Manufacturers
could be- supplied with the products OF
the farm, dairy, etc., with the cons0.
quunt enlargement Of tho home
market for homo manufacturers. by
extending It's plan Of operations, this
central depot could deal Ia every pro.
duct aud commodity produced at
home, aud transact an unlimited
amount OF business, oil without any
cash to speak Of, olthor as capital OF
circulating medium.
Our financial friend Insists that tho
present scarcity Of money aud album
dance OF everything else that the
people need TO make them comfortable,
are the conditions necessary TO insure
the success OF such a plan, Ito urges
TINT tho scrip Issued by tho central
depot would BIO utterly destitute OF
every "will caW or other character
isuc that would tend To doprtclato It,
because II would never BIO Issued at
all until the value represented by !,
had been actually deposited, In the
shape Of manufactured commodities,
farm products, etc., In tbs central
depot, and this holder could always
have It redeemed on demand.
